Can you wear the aetherial crown with a dragon priest mask?

No, you generally cannot wear the Aetherial Crown with a Dragon Priest Mask in vanilla Skyrim because they both occupy the same equipment slot (the "circlet" slot), but you can use a glitch with specific helmets like the Falmer Helmet or Penitus Oculatus Helmet to wear both a circlet (like the Aetherial Crown) and a mask simultaneously. These special helmets bypass the normal slot conflict, allowing for multiple headpieces, but the Aetherial Crown itself doesn't allow stacking with masks directly.
