Crown of the Void King

wondrous item (headgear), legendary (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

A blackened silver crown adorned with floating violet gemstones that drift slightly above the metal. The crown crackles with eerie purple energy, and its shadow shifts unnaturally, as if alive.

Void Sight

You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, up to 120 feet.

Entropic Ward

You have resistance to necrotic and psychic damage.

Sovereign of the Hollow

You can cast at will, and you can cast or once per long rest.

Devour the Light

As an action, you can use the crown to create a 30-foot-radius sphere of magical darkness centered on yourself for 1 minute. You can see through this darkness, and any creature other than you that starts its turn inside it takes necrotic damage. Once used, this feature cannot be used again until the next dawn.

King of the Forgotten

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to consume its lingering essence. That creature cannot be resurrected by any means short of a spell. When you do, the crown gains 1 charge. As an action, you can expend 1 charge to cast any spell you know or have prepared of 5th level or lower, upcast to 6th level, without expending a spell slot. The crown can hold up to 3 charges at a time, and any unused charges vanish at dawn.

Lore

Long ago, before the stars burned bright in the heavens, there was a king whose name was lost to time. He ruled not over lands of earth and stone but over the vast emptiness between worlds—a sovereign of the forgotten and the forsaken. It is said that he wove the Crown of the Void King from the remnants of dying stars and the screams of those who had been erased from history. Upon his brow, it was a symbol of absolute dominion, a conduit of the void’s eternal hunger. Under his rule, entire civilizations vanished without a trace, their souls consumed to feed his ever-growing power.

When the king fell—whether by rebellion, divine wrath, or the slow decay of eternity—his body crumbled to dust, leaving behind only the crown. Those who have dared to claim it since have been haunted by whispers of the forgotten, voices urging them to take more, to become more. The crown does not simply grant power; it demands sacrifice. Each life devoured by its magic is forever lost, leaving no spirit behind to be mourned or reclaimed. To wear the Crown of the Void King is to walk the path of oblivion, teetering on the edge of godhood and annihilation.
