Description[]
The Flames of Regency is a corona of illusory fire that serves as a crown for whoever is the ruler of the Dark Dimension. The flames are not composed of true fire and do not harm those who bear it. The Flames of Regency are associated with the Flames of the Faltine - the sentient self-perpetuating energy that comprises the entirety of the Faltine dimension. The Flames of Regency are usually worn by Dormammu and cover his entire head. During her time as rule of the Dark Dimension, Clea wore the Flames of Regency, which appeared as a flickering halo about the crown of her head. Dormammu's sister Umar inherited the Flames during her reign as regent.
Notes & Trivia[]
