How much does the Ibis Crown actually do though?
The only thing we can tell for certain about it is that it is the Crown of the Emperor of the Cath Bruig and that it is very powerful.
Good point about his in game ablities.

Alric is however a very good general, which along with the artifacts, wins him both wars.
