The crown

In the Pool of Souls vision Brennan shows a flaming crown, the last crown of Zaul'Nazh, the talisman that contains all of his vast and mighty power BK E1·00:05:49. Zaul'Nazh says that when his talisman is returned to him, all the lands will fall BK E1·01:30:46.

The crown is first shown as Zaul'Nazh's last crown, the talisman of his power, and Brennan says the volcano forge is where he first forged his One Crown BK E1·00:05:49 BK E2·00:01:21. The halflings say they threw a crown in the lava BK E2·00:16:01. A new crown is made from the crown of Declan, which Efink names when she accuses Markus of stealing it, and Lilith asks for help forging a new crown with the soul of a dark lord in it BK E3·00:58:21 BK E3·00:53:21. The smith Avanash takes the crown to the forge and later says he gave it to the woman in chains, Galfast BK E3·01:13:14 BK E3·01:29:13. Brennan says this last crown is maybe not as powerful as the one Zaul'nazh formed for himself BK E3·01:30:07. On the zeppelin Galfast snatches the crown away and Sokhbarr seizes it BK E4·01:58:36.

After the crash Sokhbarr throws it on the ground, then picks it up again as they travel BK E5·00:44:20 BK E5·01:20:57. A vision shows young Zaul'nazh trading his own soul to the boatman for a fiery crown, and Brennan says what is concealed in the reforged crown is not Zaul'nazh's soul BK E5·00:57:29 BK E5·00:58:07. In the final battle Lilith holds it with the baby, and Hork tries to take it BK E6·00:24:02 BK E6·00:27:37. At the end the crown bursts into flame and hovers over the baby's head BK E6·02:34:34.
