These items where once worn by an ancient queen who, from the humble beginnings of an orphan, ascended to be the ruler of the winter court and the queen of her homeland.

Dread, The Iron Crown:

This jagged crown of blackened iron was the sign of rule of the ancient queen.

Upon ascending the throne of winter the nature of that ancient queen changed irreversible and whover takes up her crown undergoes the same metamorphosis.

Fae nature: Vulnerability to Damage from Iron Weapons. When making a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) Check to escape Magical or Non-Magical Bindings, you have Disadvantage on the Roll. You can cast Disguise Self at will, without expending a spell slot. No need to drink, eat or sleep.

With her ascent to power came this crown and soon it was feared by all who would stand against the queen.

Aura of Dread: When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack as part of the Attack action, you can force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

The ancient queen was known for always getting her due, even if it required the dead to march for her.

Rise and Serve: The wearer may cast True Resurrection upon a single target. This effect costs a number of charges depending on the size of the creature. (Fine costs 1 charge, Diminutive costs 2 charges, ... etc.) The Iron Crown gains 1d6 charges per long rest.

Woe, The Mantle of Dispair:

This mantle, once an deep black, is covered in the flags of beaten foes to the point that, the original color is almost indistinguishable while it's inside form the entrance to a void bereft of all light or warmth, an night sky without starts or moon.

Once the original enchantment on this mantle when it was granted, it grew in power with every flag added to it.

Magical resistance: Resistance to damage from magical sources. Advantage on Saving Throws against Spells of 3rd Level or lower.

Impress your will upon the world and craft an domain where even the gods have to bow to it's true ruler, and let out the endless void that can smother even the stars that resides in your soul.

Fall: Any enemy within a radius of 25ft centered around you must make a DC 14 constitution save or take 4d6 cold damage and be petrified. Success means the creature takes half damage and is not petrified. This ability can be activated once per new moon.
