History[edit | edit source]
After the fall of Netheril, Mephistopheles sequestered the Crown of Karsus away in one of his archival vaults. Mephistopheles' son, Raphael, coveted the crown, but was unable to obtain it for a thousand years. Eventually, the crown was stolen by the cult of the Absolute, and Raphael put into motion plans to take it for himself.
The incubus Haarlep was also sent by Mephistopheles to distract his "naughty son", possibly from his ambitions for the crown.
