The Crown of Hell

The Crown of Hell is an artifact belonging to Ku'Qala, forged from Hellfire by the god Tilanos as a gift to the Lord of the Lash. The Crown has been sought after by outsiders and enterprising mortals since it's creation, and few have ever managed the task of winning it from Ku'Qala. 

The Powers of Hell

Those who wear the Crown have access to incredible power. It acts as a reserve of magic, allowing mortal spellcasters the ability to cast hundreds of spells per day. The Crown also imbues the wearer with lordship of the Infernal Domain of The First Circle, the megacity populated by the "free" souls of Hell. The mere act of owning the Crown makes the wearer an archdevil for the purposes of Hell itself, making them a part of the Infernal hierarchy. Mortals who bear the crown can command devils and lesser fiends, as well as utilize their powers such as winged flight, firecalling, and Obligation.

Significance

The Crown of Hell is one of the symbols of Ku'Qala's power over his infernal domain. Any who wears the crown is recognized by lawful fiends as a being of supreme significance, while chaotic fiends view the bearer of the crown as a particularly dangerous and worthy foe.

Raw materials & Components

The Crown is made entirely of Hellfire, the eternal burning souls of the damned made into raw magic. This base holds fifteen jewels of gemstones framed in the bones of those first sentenced to eternal torment. Those who wear the crown have a pentagram of negative energy on their forehead for as long as they bear the artifact.
