Eternal Crown

"Only the most elite defenders are worthy of the Eternal Crown and the noble burden behind it."

The Eternal Crown is an artifact created by Daedessa.

Lore
The Crown bestows great power upon its wearer. Those who wear the crown display streams of energy flowing from their back (similar to the wings of angels), along with glowing eyes. The Crown "hungers endlessly" for magic.

History
Daedessa entrusted the crown to her son, Kion, who led the Immortals. It was agreed that should the Shadows ever overthrow the Immortals, they would become Immortals themselves, and take possession of the Crown. Which, under Akeba, they did, thus beginning the Cycle of Strife.

In the 11th century, the crown was searched for by Rakkis. However, it eluded him, and the crown was recovered by the Immortals.

In-game
The Eternal Crown features in Diablo Immortal. It is won by the Shadow player who wins the Final Battle, who becomes the Immortal. A single Immortal leader bears the Eternal Crown, and four lieutenants have crowns of their own. Each crown grants an extraordinary power once it has reached a certain level of progression thanks to the reign's Dominance. A mixture of offensive and defensive buffs will emanate from these Legendary items, amplifying the wearer’s might as well as that of other Immortals in close proximity.
