566E

Pincered by [[Lastar]]’s army in the west, [[Bavarik]]’s army in the north and the combined dwarven forces of [[Hamar]], [[Balem]] and [[Maedus]] in the east, [[Dispater]] is defeated at [[Minas Aarda]], his last stronghold. [[Gelmir]] and [[Maedus]] both die at the foot of the Minas trying to destroy [[Dispater]] before he enters the fortress. [[Gelmir]]’s son [[Gillire]] leaves the battle with his father’s body and [[Maedus]] is returned to Fangor Rodrus; both Kings leave their Crowns in [[Lastar]]’s care. (1st Age History)

The crown is split from the Crown of Light and sent back to the Prime by [[Lastar]].


Chronicle tells of Merc’s Commune with Frey
Merc took me into the forest with him to commune with his God, Frey. By Odin's beard, I have never seen the like! My faith is strong, but I had never thought to set eyes upon my Lord - yet we were visited by Frey seemingly in person before us! He told us that "What Gelmir wore for us in times of old was taken as a trophy by the serpent of red." We were then granted a vision. We saw a fat priest and a cloaked, shrivelled man standing over the body of a man in a grey cloak that had been struck down by a dragon. The dragon breathed fire at them, and the priest shielded them both before they turn and flee. Pulled back by the dragon, the priest's backpack was ripped off and a crown with four points and red gems set in it fell to the ground. The dragon killed the men and took the crown to its hoard. The vision ended, Frey told us that what we had seen was Gelmir's prize.

In DM’s Notes on Morwath and Merc’s recent (7th Age) activities
“She (Elerienne) tells of Lai Ku and his flee from Minas Tiris during the 6th Age.  She explains that he and Tuar Chan had destroyed Rantor and taken up some of the powerful artefacts found within his hoard.  Apparently Tuar Chan was particularly interested in a small, green, broken gem.  Lai Ku wore a circlet of platinum of the same fashion as Elerienne’s but with 4 red gems. “
