Speaking of which, I recall that I promised a basic fluff writeup for the artefact I'd like to make for Lya's Crown. Do be aware that I doubt we can acquire this easily by the time of our coronation, but it's the long haul that counts. To that end, let me present to you thus:
The Crown of Ten Spheres
At first glance, this set of ten brilliant gemstones appear unremarkable beyond their perfection, but on closer examination, each one of them reveals their own secrets. Onto each stone is engraved runes that describe in fullness the nature of those powers that define the realms beyond the Plane of Balance, and if one bends their will upon them, they will find a piece of those primordial forces within each stone, bound in a cage of its own nature. To tell the tale of how each of those pieces were found, let alone captured, would stretch the credibility of even the most masterful bards of the land. But to tell it simply, there are few things that one will not do for the one they love. So it was for Viserys Targaryen, and the one they call Lya the Sage.
The Crown of Ten Spheres marks the apotheosis of a Sage of Creation's understanding of the multiverse, married to the will of a Dragon Emperor. Each gem of the crown represents one of the Lores that the Sage came to understand in their quest for knowledge, from Fire to Good and Earth to Chaos. On their own, they are talismans of those powers with few equals, shells of power wrapped around the essence of some of the mightiest beings of those worlds to imprison and amplify them both. But together, in the hands of the Sage, they form something far more. When properly attuned to a Sage, the gems of the Crown may rise at their command to form a crown of gems, bound together by a ribbon of pure magic. This energy is not divine, not arcane, nor of any of a Sage's Lores, though it is born from all such places. Brought forth by the Sage, this energy is channeled through the prisms of the gems, and through that process, purified into the very essence that lies below all things. In most circumstances, this light shines as a gentle glow, illuminating the area around it in the truth that makes all life Be, but in battle it burns with primordial power, such that even the Halos of the Angels pale in comparison.
To face a Sage crowned with this artefact is to court the fate of all those that were forced to surrender their essence to it. None of that list yet draws breath.

In simple terms, I want to take the essence from a Being of Power tied to each of the Lores used by a Sage of Creation. Fire, for example, can be taken acquired when we kill the Sultan of Brass. A drop of his blood would be the Essence of Fire within the the Gem of Fire. I'd see each Gem as an
extremely powerful magical item on their own, with the entire Crown - due to the conceptual weight I want to put behind it - probably racking up in the Major Artefact category.
@Azel would this suffice for our queen? Once we get all the pieces for it, of course. Which will take while.
