Helm of Harakhan
The Helm of Harakhan (Urkesh: Khan'harak'tytem, lit. "crown of the blood king") was a powerful magical artifact worn by the Urkesh warlord Harakhan Redtooth and his descendants during their three-hundred year reign. The crown was said to have granted Harakhan supernatural intelligence and cunning, allowing his clan to conquer the other Urkesh and claim the entirety of the Highlands as their empire.
Supposedly destroyed by Gruumsh when he led a rebellion that overthrew the Blood Orc clan, recent explorations deep within the Caverns of Zagresh have uncovered reports that a powerful goblin king who rules the caverns has been seen wearing a crown matching the helm's description.
History
The Helm was created by the war god Harak, whom the ancient Blood Orc Clan of the Drak'teth Gorge worshipped as their patron. Their warlord Khan Redtooth communed with the Crimson King in search of power that would help his clan conquer the other Urkesh clans and in exchange for his loyalty to the dark deity, Harak bestowed the name Harakhan upon the warlord and granted him one of the Crimson King's seven crowns, so that the Blood Orcs' conquest of the Highlands would add to the Crimson King's power.
