Ring of Towers Splendor

Steel Realms

After the south fell, the Tower Lands were carved out of the edges of the great abyssal. Those who proved especially loyal to the Watch were gifted with an individualized Ring of Towers Splendor. The ring’s mystical powers were known only to their creators and the recipients. They range from rough beaten works, to fancy ones with precious stones.

Item Platform: iCore 2.0
Value: 20,000 silver crowns

They were rumored to be forged with the sweat, tears and blood of the recipient. The rings were crafted by multiple sources – Ducateon, human, and elven smiths.
There were only three rings per tower, 1 for each watch of a day cycle, and they were passed on as those who wore them retired or fell. In addition to common powers,
each ring was attuned to a specific watch and had a power unique to it.

After the south fell, the Tower Lands were carved out of the edges of the great abyssal. Those who proved especially loyal to the Watch were gifted with an individualized Ring of Towers Splendor. The ring’s mystical powers were known only to their creators and the recipients. They range from rough beaten works, to fancy ones with precious stones.

each ring was attuned to a specific watch and had a power unique to it. It was also said that a few rings were imbued with personally keyed powers for those brave souls who pledged their blood AND their family’s blood in defending the towers.

Common Knowledge / Easy Difficulty

One ring in particular was found (with ‘Gavl’ marked on it) and brought to Port Towne in 9164 by “Books”, a member of The Gallants and the new owner and operator of The Companions Library in Braddon Bog (the previous operator, and one of Book’s mentors, was murdered).
The ring was bought anonymously by “southern interests” and vanished from reckoning.
