The Scarlet Crown is a holy item of the
God Mimir, once the great treasure of the
Elves that would sit atop the heads of their Queens. Since
Arazion Nerifir betrayed his sister
Macvara Nerifir and killed her, it has become the device that summons the
Scarlet Host: a rage-fueled army led by Macvara's vengeful spirit.
Mimir's Great Treasure
The Scarlet Crown is a golden, circular crown with jagged points atop it. The points of the metal bleed from the gold into a scarlet color, as if they had been coated in blood that then soaked in and remained in the metal, dying it as the final resting place of its victims.

Red Garnets are adorned around the crown, emitting a faint, eerie glow that is said to be entrancing.
Carved around the garnets are the hands of the Devils of Hell joined with the hands of the Angels of Heaven and the Demons of the Void. They link together in a circle, crowding around the wearer of the crown as if to say that all Divinity bows to he or she whom wears the gilded diadem.
Unclear writing is inscribed along the surface and edges of the crown in a language yet to be translated, though many have attempted to crack its code.
Some say is is the language of the Demons, while others say it is a secret language known only be Mimir and his followers. What the crown says is unknown, though many fear that it warns of some great curse or power held within the relic.

The metal it is made of was once believed to be entirely gold, though its weight confounded all who held it. For it was golden in color and texture, yet its lightness was characteristic of no known metal, golden or otherwise.
Some say the crown is the basis by which Elven Gold was conceived: a cloth-like material that looks golden but is not metal. Others say the crown is actually made of Elven gold, though this has been disproven.
Whatever it is, it is most certainly metal. The rest of its composition, however, is up for debate and likely will never be solved. The material has not been found anywhere else in Totania, nor has it been created as an alloy. It is Mimir's and Mimir's alone.
