If I give the Crown the Mystra, I might be cured, forgiven even. I told Mystra I would claim the Crown of Karsus and wield it myself.

I promised to return the crown to Mystra, and in doing so I will finally be able to rid myself of the orb. Mystra asked that I seize the crown and then return it to her, in exchange for which she will rid me of the orb. She told me of the true nature of the orb - that it is the Karsite Weave, a half-formed magic created by Karsus when he sought to become the god of magic. Once the Netherbrain is defeated, I'll need to take them back in order to forge the Crown. I gave the Netherstones to Orpheus after he transformed into an illithid. I gave the Netherstones to the Emperor after it told us only an illithid could wield them to dominate the Netherbrain. Now that she's transformed, we're ready to take on the Netherbrain. We kept hold of the Netherstones I need to reforge the Crown of Karsus. Karlach became an illithid after the Emperor told us this was required in order to dominate the Netherbrain. Now that I've transformed, we're ready to take on the Netherbrain. In doing this, I retained control of the Netherstones I need to reforge the Crown of Karsus. I became an illithid after the Emperor told us this was required in order to dominate the Netherbrain. We need to speak with the Emperor and reassess our approach. Our first attempt to defeat the Elder Brain was unsuccessful - it had transformed into a Netherbrain, and was no longer held under the Netherstones' sway. I need to speak with the Emperor and reassess my approach. My first attempt to defeat the Elder Brain was unsuccessful - it had transformed into a Netherbrain, and was no longer held under the Netherstones' sway. In detonating it, I might yet save the city, though I would not live to see it. Should I be willing, the option of the orb is still mine to take.

I didn't manage to learn the secrets of the Netherese crown worn by the Elder Brain.
