Crown of the Raven King

The crown of the Raven King is a relic of the Age of Legends allowing those who possess it to channel the powers of the Raven King himself. When the king’s fortress was attacked by the three knights of Winter, the crown was taken as he escaped. Unable to destroy it, the knights broke it into three pieces and took it to the far corners of the earth to bury and hide it lest the power fall into another’s hands.

Still very potent, the crown’s fragments were a font of dark energy and a resource to any who could tap might dare attempt to harness it. Wherever any of these three fragments reside, darkness exudes from them like a radiant cloud of icy fog, chilling the body and soul

It is said that the Crown can not be exposed to direct sunlight or ‘else its lies would be exposed and the power lost’. This is a dangerous weakness for the relic and it seems to know that - pulling shadows to it at all time to protect it from any trace of the light of dawn.

The Crown’s three pieces (A,B and C) were spread throughout the world but eventually two of them (A and C) found themselves into the hands of the Cult of the Crow Father (Rabenvater). Following the collapse of their order, the survivors hid A in Boston and sent C to London. They never found the center piece. B. It was rumored to have been lost to all historical records as early as the 1660-70’s. No European order, organization or cult seems to have heard tale of its whereabouts after that date.

Rumored abilities:

 * A: Control weather / storms.
 * B: Commune/Control Animals
 * C: Commune/Control the dead.

Only the most powerful warlocks were able to control the powers within the fragments and none dare touch them directly as it would be likened unto touching a live electrical wire. However, they could, through subtle manipulations and proximity, encourage the fragments to aid them in certain magical practices.
