The Sphinx's Crown is actually a helmet worn by an ancient Sphinx. Ages ago, the sorcerer known as Gruel instructed the elemental djinn known as Jasmine to bring him the Sphinx's Crown. As was tradition, Jasmine was required to answer the Sphinx's riddle, "What vessel makes you richer when you drink from it, but poorer when you steal from it?" After answering the riddle, she demanded the crown or else she would take the Sphinx's life. She brought the crown back to her master.
