The Last Notes of Desiderius
I do not know if this is the right thing to do - but I retrieved this crown, and did what all Eisen would do - I put it on. We are not a timid people, but in this case, perhaps a little caution would not have gone awry.
I returned to myself 2 hours later, and my compatriots said that I had raved the whole time - initially with no sense at all, but after a while my words became distinguishable as a long stream of numbers. One that I stated repeatedly was 662607004, although I apparently gave a small gutteral cough in between the two sixes. I do not remember any of this - but have a sense of everything being wrong. Everything about me and everything I saw was wrong in some way I could not define. I placed the crown back in the item. I fear that our quest is madness.
I am using some strong sap and tar epoxy to ensure that nobody else finds this cursed item. Please if you read this note - leave the crown alone - and close the item away carefully.
