Alzora's Crown Item in Omari | World Anvil

Alzora's Crown

Named after the first head of the Spring Court, this wooden crown is a sign of high standing. It sits atop the court leader's head and is passed onto the next one whenever change overs happen. Scholars are uncertain of the exact year it was created, but many believe Alzora herself comissioned the piece after discovering the beautiful wood used to create it.    

Physical Description

  Alzora's crown is constructed primarily from fae touched wood and has silver accents. The band is a full circle that is 1.5 in / 3.81 cm tall and .5 in / 1.27 cm thick. Two fake antlers carved from the wood make up the rest of the crown's height; one is located above where each ear of the wearer would be in relation to the band. Thin silver caps cover .5 in / 1.27 cm of each tip on both antlers.   The wood is a swirl of bright rainbow colors. Embedded throughout the whole material is a fine, glittery shimmer that sparkles in the sun. A faint smell of honey wafts from the crown.

Properties

The shimmery, rainbow wood lends its natural weather and fire resistance to the crown. A powerful archmage endowed the accessory with extra enchantments.  
Horror overtook me as I watched, frozen in place. Whatever that poor soul did angered the queen enough to use her crown. I've hardly seen it activated in my time serving the court. While staring the person in the eye, she snapped her fingers and with a flash of green light, they turned into solid wood.
