History
In 14th century, a small cave was discovered near Hau by Noobius I's servant. When the king learned of the discovery, he went to the cave himself and discovered a turquoise crown with an inscription in an unknown alphabet. Soon, his Noobish advisor stated that the crown was older than prophet Nooberre and came from the times before the Flood. It was soon 'discovered' that the crown belonged to Abel Doe, the second son of John Doe and Jane Doe.
After Kingdom of Pukapuka collapsed into 3 kingdoms, the crown was taken by Heimanootea I. However, in 1590s, West Pukapukans stole the Crown of Abel Doe for their king named Judah I. Subsequent rulers such as Noobius II used the crown and over time it became a symbol of West Pukapuka.
In 2014, the crown was stolen by the Anti-Furry Coalition. The crown was initially presumed to be useless before 2021, when the AFC conjectured that the script, if deciphered, could illustrate a potential use case for the crown. However, the GFAH found out about it, causing them to steal the artifact and to be placed in the GFAH treasury vault. To this day, it still remains here. It is unknown when will the crown be culturally reappropriated and repatriated back to Pukapuka Island. It was also to be noted that GFA has yet to recieve any "Return Notice" from said Island which requires them to safe keep it until.
The Telamon Islands government accuses both organizations of misappropriating the crown and has repeatedly confiscated their assets and arrested their members, including for the theft of an artifact. However, they were forced to release under URC Law a week later; as according to international laws, due to them having suspicions that the Anti-Furry Coalition would attempt theft if returned immediately, they must submit a Return notice to said department so that they would ensure artifact can be returned as proper, otherwise it would be kept within a three-year warranty. But due to Telamon Islands escalating it by arresting URC officials, it has been installed with a "Artifact Penalty" which extended the three-year warranty to five-years.
