The relic is not a single object, but a set of ancient ceremonial pieces that, when reunited, form a crown—an artifact of immense magical and psychological power.

A jagged bracelet, twisted like a snake devouring its tail. A green-glinting necklace, with six emeralds shaped like tear drops. A broken circlet, its frame scorched and splintered, with empty settings where gemstones once sat. A carved sculpture fragment, shaped like the face of a weeping figure with a crown. See more
