I am confused about some of the write-ups at the end of Champions of Ruin regarding the Crown of Narfell.
On pg 132 of CoR, it states that the Crown of Narfell was shattered in 731. Thereafter, it was reforged into the Moaning Crown Ndulu.
The Moaning Crown is described as being locked away in the Citadel of Conjurors.
On pg 136 of CoR, the Crown of Narfell is referred to as being protected by Soargar the Archmage and later the Crown passing to the revived monarchy of Implitur. These events all take place after 922.
Was the Crown of Narfell remade a 2nd time? Are the referrences on pg 136 actually to the Moaning Crown? Is there more than one Crown of Narfell? Any assistance on this would be appreciated. Furthermore, if anyone is aware of any statistice for the Crown it would be helpful.

The original Crown of Narfell was shattered in 731 DR. This is the evil artifact that the Nentyarchs of Narfell employed.
Upon shattering, the original Crown of Narfell was separated into two sets of components. One set of components were the crown-wraiths. Ndulu slowly captured the crown-wraiths over the next five decades and then made the Moaning Crown of Ndulu from them. The other set of components were the physical pieces of the broken crown. Sarshel gathered these up pieces and had them forged into a redeemed (i.e. good) Crown of Narfell. This new Crown of Narfell is the crown of state for Impiltur's modern monarchs.
The reference on page 136 is to the good-aligned Crown of Narfell redeemed and reforged on Sarshel's command. This crown was nearly lost to Soneillon, but Soargar protected it during the Kingless Years, and his instructions led Imphras to it (the good-aligned crown) after his great victory. The crown has sat atop the head of Impiltur's monarchs ever since. Imbrar apparently did not wear it into battle when he vanished.
I'm hopeful you'll see a write-up of the good-aligned Crown of Narfell in a future Realms supplement. Ditto for Hadryllis.

| So is there hope for stats on the good Crown of Narfell and Hadryllis in the recently announced Power of Faerun? Seems like an excellent place for it. |
