Viridian Crown
ITEM 20The monarch of Kyonin imparts a sliver of their personality to the artifact when they are crowned ruler of the nation. The crown's precise shape changes with their needs. A paranoid ruler might cause the crown to transform into a cowl, while a gregarious one could cause it to become a lofty piece that displays its beauty.
Atop Queen Telandia's brow, the Viridian Crown has assumed its current appearance: brimming with life, its blue-green vines moving and rustling on her brow. While the material that comprises the crown seems to be made of living vines, to the touch it is as resilient as dawnsilver. In the spring, buds bloom into crystalline flowers that give the crown a scintillating appearance. These delicate flower petals naturally fall over time as the season advances, and often serve as temporary tokens or gifts to citizens and dignitaries. The petals are art objects worth a few dozen gp each, but the act of selling them is considered crass by Kyonin's people–and their fragility ensures that they crumble to dust before too long anyway. Their use as raw materials in the crafting of consumable magic is a time-honored tradition among elves.
If you are the properly anointed ruler of Kyonin, or if that ruler has given you permission to wear the crown for a time, as long as you have the Viridian Crown invested, choose either Charisma or Wisdom. The Viridian Crown increases the chosen modifier by 1 or increases it to +4, whichever would give you a higher value. You can change which modifier is adjusted once every 24 hours as you make your daily preparations.
As long as you have the crown invested, it imparts knowledge of the Fortifying Brew and Resurrect rituals. When you cast either of these (either as a primary or secondary caster) you gain a +3 item bonus to your skill check.
Destruction The Viridian Crown withers and dies if a rightfully coronated monarch pledges the crown to a demon lord during a ritual that takes 24 hours to complete.
