The Crown of Verity was a crown and symbol of office of the ancient Magistrates of Benetage. When their culture mysteriously ended, the Crown was lost, eventually making its way to the Coruscant Jedi Temple. An artifact imbued with the Force, the Crown of Verity prevented the wielder from being deceptive while also allowing them to detect lies and falsehoods.
Description[]
A silvered skullcap, rather than a ring of steel or tiara, the Crown of Verity altered its size and shape to fit on the heads of sentient species. The power of the Crown of Verity was that it forced any who wore it to discern the truth from lies. A side effect of this was that the wearer was inhibited from speaking falsehoods.[1]
History[]
Created by the culture of Benetage, the Crown of Verity was the symbol of the office of the Magistrates. The planet was left abandoned, circa 30,000 BBY, and the Crown was thought lost but eventually came to be stored within the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.[1]
Around the time of the Clone Wars, the Crown was studied in depth by the Ithorian Jedi Master Tobar Ka-Teen, who was fascinated by the philosophy of the truth and hoped to duplicate the Crown's powers. During his studies, Ka-Teen was permitted to take the Crown to the vergence on Auratera in the Outer Rim of the galaxy. He was accompanied to the ruins of Acablas by several squads of troopers of the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic. During his time at Acablas, his clone troopers enacted Contingency Order 66. The fate of the Crown, Master Ka-Teen, and the clone troopers was never discovered.[1]
