    The Crown of Pearl (Artifact 3)
    A orichalcum crown ringed with the teeth of a behemoth shark.

    The Crown of Pearl is a golden crown that rests upon the forehead and re-sizes itself to the wearer. Set in the front of the crown is a hearthstone slot and circling the crown are special sapphires found in the very deepest parts of the ocean. The points of the crown are made from the teeth of a terrible shark behemoth that was slain by a long dead King of Pearl. The crown is a powerful artifact that empowers the wearer socially while granting it command of sharks. Upon attuning the Crown, the user gains +2 non-charm dice to Charisma and Appearance rolls and the first evocation of the Crown. The wearer of the Crown of Pearl develops a minor intimacy to bloodlust as he develops shark's taste for blood. This intimacy lingers even if the wearer detunes the Crown.

    The crown allows the user to communicate with sharks. Sharks as a whole are not very intelligent, but this charm ensures that they understand the basic intent behind the communication and his words are treated as if they are coming from someone the sharks have a major intimacy to. Most uses of this charm do not require a roll, but should the wearer of the crown attempt to command or persuade the sharks, this adds the users Essence in non-charm successes to the roll.
