The Jagged Crown (Item)

"Maw unleashing razor snow Of dragons from the blue brought down, Births the walking winter's woe, The High king in his Jagged Crown."

- Ancient Nord verse.

The Jagged Crown was the crown jewel of the Kings and Queens of Skyrim. Serving as a symbol of leadership and power, the crown is believed to date back to the time of King Harald. Made from the teeth and bones of dragons, the crown is rumored to possess a portion of every king ever to wear it. Depending on the side chosen by the Dragonborn either Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak or General Tullius employs his men and the Dragonborn to seek the artifact, hoping to consolidate either Ulfric's or in case of the Empire Elisif's ascendance to High King. His Stormcloaks seeks the crown at Korvanjund, where Imperial soldiers also seek to snag the relic.

This helm possesses a base armor rating of 26, which is greater than both Dragon and Daedric helms.

Quests

 * The Jagged Crown

Trivia

 * As a quest item, it cannot be sold.
 * Because of the Crown's high defense stats, it is advisable to keep it until better Heavy armor can be forged.
 * After the completion of the related quest, the Jagged Crown will be removed from the inventory and is not possible to be re-acquired. It seemingly is never worn by the person it is given to, and is not in their inventories either.
 * Circlets can be worn with the Jagged Crown with no ill effects, making it possible to have 5 pieces of working armor worn.
 * It seems there is a bug in which you can wear the Jagged Crown while still wearing a Dragon Priest Mask. It only displays the worn mask, but it still gives both item's bonuses. The same thing happens with the Masque of Clavicus Vile, though sometimes it displays both the crown and masque being worn at the same time.
 * It is also possible, to deliver the crown to the opposing side you initially joined with.
 * If you really MUST have the item after completing quest use console command: player.additem da750 1

Bugs

 * Wearing the crown at the same time as some Dragon Priests' masks, the users face may disappear.
 * Sometimes the Jagged Crown isn't marked as a Quest Item, allowing you to use the mannequin reproduction bug to accrue a second Jagged Crown, however if you have it on your character when you finish the quest, both Jagged Crowns will be removed from your inventory.
