Crown of Karsus

For the object found in an Act Three encounter, see the Crown of Karsus (Entity).

The Crown of Karsus was created by Karsus, an archwizard from the Faerûn empire of Netheril. It is a very powerful item and anyone who wields it is said to obtain godlike powers. The crown was taken by the archdevil Mephistopheles and held in a vault for more than a thousand years. This was until someone managed to steal the crown from Mephistopheles and bring it back to Faerûn.

Three stones were removed from the crown and distributed between three chosen. Through the power of the stones the chosen can control whoever wears the crown, and the power that comes with it. At this point the game of Baldur's Gate 3 begins. For more information read The Dark Urge.
