A mysterious noble seeks the crown, unaware of its deadly toll—what price will your heroes pay to claim it?
Forged in the shadowed halls of the Shadowfell, this crown grants influence at a steep moral cost, once worn by a usurper king whose soul was consumed.
The crown whispers sinister promises when unobserved, tempting the wearer with power.
GM Notes
- The curse can be lifted with a wish or powerful restorative magic, but it requires sacrificing a memory of the crown.
- The crown's influence can sway NPCs, but only if the wearer plays into their darker ambitions.
- The whispering will escalate if worn for extended periods, possibly driving the wearer mad.
