It literally refused to be placed upon his head. That’s when the true power of the artifact became apparent. Before he assumed the role, however, he had to don the newly-forged Crown of Verity. Asurn was a mighty warrior of unmatched skill in the vein of Olaf One-Eye, though he never defeated a dragon. The Moot selected a tribal chieftain named Asurn Ice-Breaker to be the next High King of Skyrim. The timing of the crown’s creation proved to be auspicious. They felt that a new crown would help unify the realm behind a new king after the relative instability of Olaf’s rule. With the loss of the Jagged Crown, Olaf had worn no mark of recognizable rulership. Crafting the artifact in the shape of a crown was a brilliant innovation. To this end, they created the Crown of Verity. When he also died without a clear heir, it was decided that a new manner be employed for choosing a new High King.Įach of Skyrim’s holds sent a mage to a convocation called specifically to craft a magical artifact that would test the worth of potential candidates for High King. The rule of Olaf One-Eye was a time marked by great strife and division among the Nords. Olaf was elected to the position primarily due to the renown he garnered subduing the dragon Numinex, and not for any benevolence or statesmanship on his part. The War of Succession raged for more than fifty years before Olaf One-Eye became the new High King of Skyrim.
The death of childless King Borgas, last of the line of Ysgramor, triggered an internecine conflict known as the War of Succession. Legend has it that the Jagged Crown disappeared with the death of Harald’s final descendant King Borgas in The Wild Hunt of 1E 369. The Jagged Crown was forged by Harald, first king of the Nords, from the bones of dragons. The fabled Jagged Crown holds the distinction of being the first. The Crown of Freydis is actually the second royal crown of Skyrim. Many know of the crown’s famed beauty, but few know the true intent of the crown and why it was created-and that it was even worn by other monarchs before Queen Freydis. The Crown of Freydis, worn by our beloved Queen Mabjaarn, has a long history.
