The intricately woven wires of gold that make up this crown stay forever hot, just below the temperatures necessary to burn those that would touch it. A scarlet crystal is inlaid in the front of the crown, which rumor has it is the last drop of Zethran's blood, crystalized so it may be preserved for all time.
