Steel Realms
Weyen’s Word are the rings of chaos created through the work of Jereld Weyen. Weyen was a petty bureaucrat from the large city of Ados in the south around CY 6420.

Item Platform: iCore™ 5.0
Value: ? silver crowns

It took Jereld Weyen years to achieve his position, and in retrospect his self effacing, sycophantic behavior served to throw suspicion off him effectively. For over a decade, Ados was plagued by strange events. At seemingly random times, hideous deformities would spring forth on the folk of the upper political echelons. No consistencies were ever found. The chaos features inflicted on victim were traced to him, and he was eventually brought to justice.

Item Powers (common and Attuned) can be found under Common Knowledge tab.

The rings inflicted Chaos Feature upon their victims.

Common Knowledge / Easy Difficulty

Jereld Weyen was only discovered when his lust for a maiden caused him to confide in her and she betrayed him. Weyen venerated an entity he called Hizget. This voice told him where to find the rings and when to gift them to his victims. It is unknown how many total there were, but all total there were 11 victims and 2 rings upon Jereld’s person. Once caught, the supposed voice abandoned Jereld. Ultimately the jail was stormed by a mob and Jereld was ripped into pieces by the relatives and friends of the victims.

Warning
Obscure/Hidden Knowledge is not generally available in known references; It is not necessarily Forbidden.
DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT unless a character has the capability to gain such knowledge [through association, organization, or relation] if they do not possess it themselves or the reader intends to participate in scenarios using this material as a PLAYER! GM Narration will typically provide relevant information by check or story.

The rings are incredibly powerful. If they are ever used as an offering to a divine entity, they are strong enough to effect such higher order beings as well – the offering will possibly cause an affliction on the deity! This may in turn cause anger, amusement, or no reaction at all.
