Short History This item contains the essence and intelligence of the former deity of death, Myrkul, the Lord of Bones. It is a silver circlet with a black diamond set on the brow and four bone horns mounted around its edge. Weird energy is visible within the diamond.

Not wanting me to live a simple farmers life and given the chance to become an apprentice, my mother and father allowed me to be taken from my home to be trained by the master wizard who saw my potential. After that day, I have not heard from nor seen my biological family. I don't remember much about them anymore. Raised and educated in the Host Tower of the Arcane, I had access to great stores of ancient knowledge of magic. I have…
