A stirring had been heard from the desert. The pillars of fire had been seen flickering, as if they were changing, before they returned to their normal form. This is most unusual.

The rumours amongst the races and teams already there is that the Crown of Sand itself looks strangely different as it sits on top of the risen plinth. Lich Lords scurry around to make sense of it.

A dark silhouette of a Lich Lord stepped forward. 'Settra has spoken! The Crown of Sand will now bestow great power and responsibility on it's owner. But beware, this great power cannot last forever.' The cloaked figure returns back to the shadow of the plinth.

The noise around each of the 24 pillars was deafening as the excitement for the Crown of Sand grew.

The Crown of Sand will now bestow +ST/Leader/Regeneration on it's owner. It will also allow the team to raise sand skeletons (functioning like a necromancer). As a display of the Crown's power, a single sand skeleton will be added to the team.

Once the wearer of the crown has died, the ability to raise sand skeletons has gone.
