Gale suggests the party visit a magic shop, [[Sorcerous Sundries]] – the finest book collection this side of Candlekeep. He believes the crown holds powerful Netherese magic, much more so than the scraps of magic typically left in Netherese artefacts. Sorcerous Sundries may have books on Netheril and Karsus’ Folly that can illuminate what the crown is. | Gale suggests the party visit a magic shop, [[Sorcerous Sundries]] – the finest book collection this side of Candlekeep.

Additionally, she has a pamphlet in a shelf under her desk called "Path to Elminster" which provides a clue on how to access the path to Elminster's vault. | ||
