Hi, I am about to ramble. It will be related to this item you get from defeating the Celestial Champion.
(If I copied and pasted the image, Firefox would fuck up the PNG and add that shitty black background to it)
Alright, allow me to begin with... the moon.
The moon is completely covered in moon glass, this means the Wagstaff quest was completed by the characters in lore, so... Where is the crown?
In the same short which we see the new look of the moon, no one is shown to have the crown on them, but we can easily guess that it could be back at camp.
This one is a bit of an assumption about the WX-78 short, we don't have much clues on if this takes place before the whole lunar storm stuff or after it. But anyway, most of the characters shown also don't have the crown. (Still, take this with a grain of salt.)
Until there is more lore related stuff released (Wilson rework and everything else), we can only guess on who has the crown.
Wortox, Wormwood, Wurt* and Wanda are possible owners of the crown.
*Wurt is shown in the background of WX-78's short, helping Wendy pick up some of the mess the pig raid left behind.
Using the chest board, Webber could also be the owner of the crown (He isn't shown on the board along with the DLC characters.) but they showed up in the Moon Quay update short though, without the crown. (The Moon Quay animation could also be taken with a grain of salt) (The short isn't on the official playlist for some reason along with reap what you sow(?), just wanted to point that out.)
(Wilson made an appearance before the Chest Board Scene.)
So, why is the crown so important? Well... In game, the crown gives you an insane sanity boost and makes Gestalts passive towards you while also allowing you to control your own version of them to attack for you. There is also the dialogue which you can get by examining the item that hints at it allowing the wearer to hear what the Gestalts are saying and allow them to see them.
Most of the characters refer to what they are hearing as whispering and Wendy says the crown makes it harder for her to see Abigail.
Alright, but who do I think has the crown? Well Wornwood, of course.
He hasn't shown up in any of the recent shorts as of late, Wurt and Wortox had made appearances but not Wormwood. Before you point to Reap What You Sow as a counter point, that short came out before the introduction of Wagstaff's quest.
"What about Wanda? She hasn't showed up in any short!", Wanda was introduced on September tenth, 2021 (On the 9th for my non-Australians) and is a more recent addition to the group so she didn't have any chances of showing up yet. (They could also not want her to show up since she is pretty overpowered character*)
(*She can time travel and had been in different timelines, this can easily break the flow of things if she does something funky idk)
Okay, so uh... my insane ramblings are over. I could go on about how Wormwood could come in with the crown on and do some cool shit but that is dipping into fan fic territory(?)
if you got thoughts, let me know, but anyway I am done.
