The '''Crown of Sorrow''' is a dangerous and powerful Hive artifact which connects its wearer's mind to those of all nearby [[Hive]], along with granting them access to Hive magics. As part of a trap set by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]], it came into the possession of the exiled [[Cabal]] [[Emperor Calus]]. Suspecting that such a powerful artifact was a lure, Calus directed his [[Psion]]s to examine it, finding the information stream sending data to the [[Ascendant realm]]. Despite the obvious ploy, Calus still desired to use the Crown to command and civilize the Hive and instead gifted it to one of his [[Shadows]], [[Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer|Gahlran]]. Calus specifically bred Gahlran to wield the Crown's morbid powers to further his goals but in the end, the crown drove Gahlran completely mad. With the crown's power, Gahlran was able to summon an infestation of Hive within the Leviathan's vaults, working towards an unknown goal. | The '''Crown of Sorrow''' is a dangerous and powerful Hive artifact which connects its wearer's mind to those of all nearby [[Hive]], along with granting them access to Hive magics.
