The King's Drop is a perfect ruby gemstone stored in the Thaylen Gemstone Reserve. It is unknown if the king's drop might be a modern name for the ruby Honor's Drop mentioned in the Gemstone archive.
History
At Some point the King's Drop was placed in the custody of the Thaylen Gemstone Reserve. It Has stayed locked withing the Queen's Private vault inside the reserve for over 200 years glowing with Stormlight the whole time Without needing to be refilled.[1]
Battle of Thaylen Field
When Vstim visits the Reserve for an audit, just before the expected attack, he and Rysn open the queen's personal vault and look at the ruby as it glows brightly. During the audit, a Voidbinding assassin attacks and attempts steals the gem, but before escaping, Rysn's pet larkin, Chiri-Chiri consumes the Stormlight from the gem and the thief's Voidlight.[1] Rysn then takes the now dun ruby and flees the reserve with a wounded Vstim. After the thunderclast destroys the Reserve[2]searching for the ruby it attacks the fleeing Rysn where the ruby is taken from Rysn, and given to a Fused who is chased by Lift and Szeth.[3] After an extended game of keep away Lift eventually delivers it to Dalinar who uses it to trap Nergaoul, the Unmade responsible for the Thrill.[4]
Current Status
Presumably it is now stored in Urithiru with Nergaoul trapped inside.
