SP:

Alignment: E/N, Desecrated to HAERIM

Bound Demon: True Name: [ ]

Description:

Black spiky crown of adamantine (fallen star-stuff), but appearance may vary due to Delusion Power.

Powers:

  1. Wearer is Berserker: A + FtL, DAM + FtL and Battle Madness (keeps fighting whilst physically possible, ignoring wounds).

  2. Wearer spiritually enters the Realm of Madness in the Domain of ULULO on putting on the Crown (no st).  He is immune to the minuses on Spells and Catatonia.  He perceives Hallucinations, but can distinguish them from reality.  He is not immune from the mind departing the body permanently at LoM 10 for the Realm of Madness (= physical death).

  3. All followers whilst wearer is leading them (he must be physically present) have Battle Madness (but not the bonuses to A or DAM from Berserking) and will serve him with unquestioning loyalty, out of fear and awe and with implacable hate for his enemies.

  4. Delusion: Followers perceive wearer as a charismatic leader of their own kind.  (BTS 100% (Wp) against Madness in the Domain of ULULO, no upper limit).  Hallucination from the Delusion effect is permanent.

  5. Amplifies wearer's voice so he can be heard by all followers (and potential followers who may fail their sts).

  6. Crown is virtually indestructible: ADS 10 in HitLocs 01 & 10 in the Head.

History:

Specially forged by KARLON at the behest of HAERIM.

Encumbrance: 50 (counts towards Dx minuses for Armour)
