eguipment bonus to all physical stats<br/>-Reduces speed of all actions by -1, minimum being speed 3<br/>-Soaks lethal dmg with full stamina, adds essence atop to soak as 'natural' soak bonus and gives hardness egual to essence of the user (hardness does not stack with armor but soak bonus from essence applies but does not stack with charms which give natural soak)<br/>-Allows parry lethal attacks unarmed without a stunt<br/>-Functions as an Elemental Lens and Collar of Dawn's Cleansing Light<br/><br/>As additional benefits depending on essence use;<br/>-Doubles anima banner dmg (example in +16 peripheral mote expend it is 2L dmg per tick), makes anima banner dmg holy (meaning creatures of darkness cannot wear the crown), so all anima banner dmg is aggravated dmg against creatures of darkness.<br/>-Additional benefit from anima power depending on aspect you have (or use if have dragon ascendant charms which you can start take after +5 essence levels);<br/>Air (allows fly egual to normal ground movement and able read surface thoughts like gemstone of surface thoughts)<br/>Earth (immune any non-artifact weapons and breaks them if they hit in close combat and adds essence to MD against UMI effects)<br/>Fire (simply doubles anima granted dmg done by close combat attacks hitting you or your hitting others and also immune to magical/charm/sorcery fire)<br/>Water (allows conjure water shield around the crown beared while in water; which has health levels egual to what user haves; these health levels are removed first before affecting the user's own health levels)<br/>Wood (can speak with animals telepathically for scene, all animals expect familiars refuse harm you, make poison from your touch cause harm once per tick instead per minute, wooden weapons bend and break before hitting you and plants do not hinder your passage and also able sense exact health and essence status of people in 10xessence yard range with perception+awareness check vs their essence)<br/><br/>Now bit fluff; Crown of Dragonborn was made before usurpation. For same reasons as Eye of the Red Dragon direlance was made; meant to help slay solars. However the crown was not designed entirely for slaying anathema specifically but it was meant as dragon-bloods eguilevant for crown of thunders; a crown which magnified glory of the dragon-blooded. However the crown has impossible demand; asking legendary level of breeding and in second age of Sorrow there are very rare dragon-bloods who could wear the crown. None the less crown of dragonborn basically increases physical combat prowess with passive benefits which some vary from aspect to aspect.<br/><br/>Sidereals who crafted the crown created a legend with using Loom of Fate which told the crown was meant to provide all five virtues of the children of Gaia; Mela, Pasiap, Hesiesh, Daana'd and Sextes Jylis. Get insightful mind and body of Mela. Get physical and mental fortitude of Pasiap. Fierce wrath of Hesiesh. Sleek grace of Daana'd and raw vigor of life and understanding of it similar to Sextes Jylis. Of course no dragon-blood ever embraced all their aspects so no one in record has been able grasp all powers of the crown which is specialized for each aspect. But basics it shares to all which is unegualled physical prowess along with swifter and hardier body along with more impressive anima powers and also three heartstone slots. The crown is made from mixture of all five jade binded together to form a dark rainbow of colors. Five dragon heads forming front row of sharp spikes to front which stare down forward</code></pre><br/>Standing a head or more above the dragonbloods - male and female alike - around her, Seiya V'neef certainly stood out, in more ways than one.  Clad head-to-toe in black jade and silk, a daiklave at her waist behind her, her hair loose for now as a result of the fight, and her breasts bared and exposed from the top half of her buff jacket being open as it often was (and because she'd lost her brassier during the fighting), the Sable Dragon certainly stood out, as she always did, with flowing grace shocking for her size, wave-toned hair, and a scent reminiscent to the morning at a beach in the West...<br/><br/>And especially now she stood out: not a<em>scratch</em>on her, in part due to her own prowess in Terrestrial martial arts and combat in general, but also due to her hearthstones, and then there was a matter of sheer luck and more balls than a room filled with hardened male soldiers...<br/><br/>She almost felt sick to her stomach knowing that<em>she</em>was so unharmed, yet her sisters, her allies, and those four deceased... fucking bastard Solar claiming he didn't want to hurt anyone.  She<em>still</em>gripped the hilt of her sword, wanting so desperately to have one, just<em>one</em>reason to put it through that motherfucker's chest and rip his hard out...<br/><br/>But now another Cathak was there, and it was her duty, it would seem, to speak for the group.<br/><br/>"Just that he's a lying bastard is all." she said, moving forward and eventually past the man "Not to be rude, but if you have anything to say to me please say them now and quickly.  I fear if I stay around that<em>Anathema</em>any longer I'll loose my composure and misplace my sword blade-first through his chest.  I plan to go visit my sisters, wherever you've taken them all to recover..."
