Over 1,000 years ago, during the final years of the Age of Magic, Cruden One-Eye, a once-mortal goblin turned living conduit of the Pale God Below, waged war against the last free peoples of Errae. Cruden Wielded two artifacts of great renown - The Whispering Dagger and The Crimson Crown.
In a climactic battle, Cruden was defeated by Alexandre Dathaway The Orin's legendary founder and a warrior of great renown.
The battle shattered The Crimson Crown, Cruden’s source of dominion and charisma. It was said the fragments were lost in the blood-soaked mud of the battlefield.
But… the crown was not entirely destroyed.
