Crown of the Ouroboros
This gleaming band of purple and grey steel is shaped like a pair of wyrms devouring each other’s tails, which both seem to rest on a lower jade circlet, and who’s eyes swirl with dust. One is a purplish color, inlaid with the very tip of a fang from the Devourer of Gods that arcs over the left side of their head, while the other is of a more subdued, bronzish color, a Narzen fang’s tip jutting out to peer over the right side of their head. The crown seems to move if it is viewed in peripheral

While wearing the crown, when you see a mortal creature, to you they appear to rapidly age up over the course of a minute a decade, withering away into naught but their bones, giving you disadvantage on ability checks to see through disguises or illusions affecting a creature. This withering is reset whenever you look away from them for a minute or more, repeating when next you look at them. Additionally, to beasts with intelligence 2 or lower, you seem unnatural, and they thus start hostile to you.
Destroying the Crown
The only way the crown can be destroyed is for a deity of time to strike it with a nonmagical hammer each week for a decade.
