'''The Crown of Flowers''' is one of the three greatest treasures of the [[Reinhart family]].

== Background ==
This artifact is known as one of the greatest treasures of the Humans of [[Issrysil]], and is in fact rumored to be the very same artifact used to conquer the northern Drake cities, when the invasion of the continent first took place thousands of years ago.

During the 2nd Antinium War, when the [[Velan|Goblin King’s]] forces attack [[First Landing]], [[Magnolia Reinhart|Magnolia]] used the Crown of Flowers and after two weeks had passed, the crown's power grew enough for her to summon a hundred thousand powerful plant-based constructs from the ground and assembled around the Reinhart Estate near First Landing and marched south. They attacked the surprised Goblin King’s army and, in tandem with the Human defenders, forced them to retreat.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/23/s02-the-antinium-wars-pt-3/ S02 – The Antinium Wars (Pt.3)]</ref>

A section of First Landing's outer walls is still covered in vines and flowers, as a form of ‘repairs’, and is actually stronger than the original walls. They bloom every season, including winter, and are harvested by [Alchemists].<ref name=":M&M">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/30/interlude-mundanity-and-memorials/ Interlude – Mundanity and Memorials]</ref>

== Chronology ==

== Enchantments ==
Not much is known about the Crown of Flowers as its powers are a well-guarded secret. What is known is that it can summon from the ground, an army of a hundred thousand powerful plant-based constructs which grow in power the longer they existed, ‘blooming’ into their full power over time. 

The army of constructs can grow strong enough to force Eight Goblin Lords and their army's to retreat.<ref name=":1" />

It can also be used to permanently grow a vines and plants that can bloom with each season, even in the winter.<ref name=":M&M" />

=== Weaknesses ===
Once active the Crown of Flowers may take weeks before it can summon the army of constructs, as they need time to grow and 'bloom' into their full power.<ref name=":1" />

Furthermore, its power is weaker in winter, but is still sufficient to end a Goblin King.<ref name=":0" />

== Trivia ==
* [[Regis Reinhart|Regis]] refused to lend it to [[Magnolia Reinhart|Magnolia]] just to dispose of a single Goblin Lord. It would have been different had she wanted to conquer the continent or was about to fight against a Goblin <em>King</em>.<ref name=":0" />
* Its powers are considered so potent that during the 2nd Antinium War, Magnolia was forced to strike a deal with the [[Assassin’s Guild]] to ensure her life and the artifacts would not be targeted for the duration of the war.<ref name=":1" />
* Should Magnolia ever take the Crown of Flowers out of the Reinhart’s ancestral vault, [[Az’kerash]] would expend every effort to take it from her. He even considered starting a war with Izril to attempt to take the Crown of Flowers from her.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/10/22/6-51-a/ Chapter 6.51 A]</ref>
