Tiara of the Forgotten Heir

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

This elegant silver tiara is inlaid with iridescent opals and arcane glyphs that shift and shimmer with forgotten meaning. When you attune to it, you are mystically inserted into the bloodline of a royal family. Though you gain the status and magical protections of a highborn scion, you have also claimed a place in a dangerous line of succession.

Royal Aegis

You gain resistance to one damage type of your choice: fire, cold, lightning, or necrotic. You can change this choice whenever you finish a long rest.

Arcane Authority

When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that targets only one creature, you can choose to impose disadvantage on the target’s saving throw or grant yourself advantage on one spell attack roll as part of the casting. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Crown's Ward

You can cast and each once per long rest without expending a spell slot. You may also expend charges from the tiara to cast them. The tiara has 5 charges and regains charges daily at dawn. costs 1 charge; costs 3.

Royal Bearing

You gain proficiency in Persuasion and Intimidation. If you are already proficient in either skill, your proficiency bonus is doubled for that skill.

Charismatic Leader

Your Charisma increases by 2, to a maximum of 22.

Curse: Claim of Succession

Upon attuning to the tiara, you become magically recognized as a legitimate heir to a specific royal bloodline. The exact lineage and kingdom are determined by the DM.
You are now part of the line of succession to the throne. Any member of that family—or loyal agents of the crown—who learns of your claim may view you as a usurper, rival, or threat, and are likely to attack you.
This effect cannot be undone by removing the tiara or ending attunement, it can only be undone by a spell or Divine Intervention. Your blood, your aura, and your fate have been altered. Attempts to renounce your status may provoke supernatural backlash—or worse, political interest.
