Synopsis:
Dialog after reading the Karsus book while being Gale that will allow the player to realize that the crown of Karsus is the device that was on the Netherbrain.
How to trigger:
Be Gale, then read LOW_KarsusNotes (can be bought from Tolna by asking about rare tomes in Sorcerous Sundries or stolen at (CTY_Main_A 8; 26; -93)
5. : *These notes are no mere diary. These are the visions of Karsus himself. Designs for the crown he hoped to forge, and the new form of magic he planned to create with it.*devnoteORI_Gale_Knows_ReadKarsusNotes
4. : *He almost succeeded. The crown sits atop the elder brain, and the Karsite Weave rests within your chest, incomplete but already capable of immense destruction.*ORI_Gale_Knows_KarsiteWeave
15. : *Reunite the crown with the Dead Three's Netherstones, and you would have total control over it. The power of a god, in your hands.*
10. Player: The broken artefacts of a failed god. The crown should be destroyed, before it causes any more damage.
9. : *Though Karsus could only have worn the crown for mere moments, he managed to destroy an empire, killing thousands in the process.
6. : *In the hands of the Dead Three's Chosen, it threatens to do much the same. You must find a way to stop them, to render the crown harmless. Detonating the power of the Karsite Weave, if necessary.*ORI_Gale_Knows_KarsiteWeave
18. : *You can save Faerûn from Karsus' evil, and the Absolute's in one fell swoop. Only, you might not live to enjoy it.*End
13. : *In the hands of the Dead Three's Chosen, it threatens to do much the same. You must find a way to stop them, to render the crown harmless. Detonating the orb, if necessary.*
12. Player: You always liked the idea of being worshipped. Adored. Obeyed...
20. : *Few mortals are truly capable of ascending to godhood. Karsus famously failed, but that doesn't mean you would share his fate.*
11. : *After all, Mystra herself was once no more than a mortal wizard. She has no more right than any other. It's time someone else had a go. Someone with more... ambition.*
19. : *Of course, there's still the matter of your deal with Raphael. Unless your contract with him is destroyed, the crown is his to claim.*HoH_Warlock_State_ContractDestroyed = False, GLO_Monitor_State_MadeDealEnd
16. : *Someone like you.*End
14. Player: Better not get ahead of yourself. The crown is still out of reach, for now.
3. : *Between you and the crown there's the small matter of the elder brain to contend with. Not to mention the deal you made with Raphael.*devnoteHoH_Warlock_State_ContractDestroyed = False, GLO_Monitor_State_MadeDeal
0. : *Between you and the crown there's the small matter of the elder brain to contend with.*devnote
2. : *For now, whatever designs of your own with regards to the crown will have to wait. But not for long. It will be in your hands soon enough, and you have quite the decision to make.*End
7. : *It seems Raphael was telling you the truth. The crown you saw atop the elder brain is indeed of Karsus' making.*devnoteORI_Gale_Knows_BrainHasCrownOfKarsus_FromRaphaelORI_Gale_Knows_BrainHasCrownOfKarsus
1. : *Reunite the crown with the Dead Three's Netherstones, and Karsus' design might yet be completed. You could wield the power of a god.*

8. : *This was the crown you witnessed atop the elder brain. Not just any Netherese artefact, but the means of Karsus' godhood.*devnoteORI_Gale_Knows_BrainHasCrownOfKarsus
