Okay, crown rules are up. I'm not really used to much custom item creation even though I wanted ou all to have uniqe ones this game so a I reserve the right to tweak it if it's underwhelming or overpowered. It's meant to be powerful in it's versatility and significant but not gameshifting in combat.

@JbeJ275: Would a 100gp pearl for identifying the crown be available on the island? What about paper and ink etc for writing spells into a spellbook?

Edit: Since we found out about the disappearance before getting home, Cypher will instead prep Rope trick, See invisibility, and Summon Monster 2 as his arcane Dilettante Spells for the next day.

The plan will be to see if the hounds catch any funny scents they can track. If that fails he'll use see invisibility and Detect thoughts to try to make sure they aren't still hanging around on the ship and haven't infiltrated our rooms in the castle.

Edit 2: Once he is sure he can't find any physical evidence or immediate threat Cypher will focus in on the name 'Aulani' and any beings thought to be connected to the crown. He'd definitely go through all the motions of using hounds, see invisibility, and Detect thoughts first before spending more time hitting the books.
Pearls would be, as would paper and ink though spells themselves cannot be bought in to copy at present. The hounds comb over much of the island, but without an initial scent to identify her with it becomes difficult to chase down the leads as they sniff at anyone who's just been outside recently. There are no invisible people. You detect magic throughout the castle and the army barracks to your satisfction, but it's slow and troublesome going. The islands is rather large and it's difficult to see how you could check the minds of literally everyone forcing you to focus on those in key positions.

Aulani is a common name amid the beastclans, you find refererence to a number of old sorceresses by that name, mostly from after the crown was lost. Seemingly they were all inspired by a friend of Narva Ad Enthyias, a contraversial historical figure, who wielded immense transformative power. No contemporary people of that name though and the history past that point is dry and familiar to you. It could easily be a psuedonym or even a codename meant to be recognised only by a few though.
