City of Rotan signet rings Nine of these rings were minted and presented to the heroes of the Battle of Dragondale at a ceremony on New Year’s day 2694. Those receiving rings were Allanon, Tekuna, Souriin, Euvgeni, Artak, Joranth, Flash, Damalanthas and Irith. The ring has on it an complicated design including the original Flaming Sword emblem of Rotan; an evergreen twig to indicated the blessing of Egreera upon the Lords of Rotan and a small crown which shows King Anwell's recognition of the Lords' status. Campaign
lore: Souriin's ring was destroyed by fire towards the end of 2694.
Joranth’s ring was left on his body after his death as a token of respect.
Since his resignation as a Lord of Rotan, Damalanthas no longer wears his
ring.
Although similar in design to the original signet rings, the second mint also includes a nugget of gold, indicating the relationship Rotan has with the nearby dwarven communities and the gold mines of Mount Naiva. Campaign
lore: Souriin does not usually wear his signet ring in order to maintain
a public perception of his neutrality in the affairs of the lands.
Euvgeni's signet ring This is a fairly plain ring, which Euvgeni has had since he was a child. The ring has only sentimental value. Flurin's Ring of Regeneration This is a small silver ring set with a blue stone. Powers: This ring allows the wearer to heal 1 point of damage per level every hour rather than every day. Subdual damage heals at a rate of 1 point of damage per level every 5 minutes. If the wearer loses a limb, an organ, or any other body part while wearing this ring, the ring regenerates it like the spell. The ring will (eventually) bring its wearer back from the dead, but a Fortitude save (DC 15) must be made to survive the trauma. If death is caused by poison, and the poison has not been neutralised, the wearer has to save against it once again and may die a second time. Only total destruction of all living tissue by fire and acid or similar means will prevent regeneration. The ring must be worn during the recovery process, and its removal stops the regeneration process permanently. When asked by a curious University student if a new Damalanthas would grow from a chopped off finger wearing the ring, the wizard Souriin Draco was heard to suggest that the student borrow the ring from the bard to try it out on herself. Campaign
lore: Tekuna first noticed Flurin wearing this ring on 2693:10:15,
and Flurin was seen to wear it constantly since then. Damalanthas took
the ring off of Flurin's body on 2694:2:24, thus dooming the head thief
to a permanent death.
Powers: This is a reverse-gravity ring, activated by the command word TEMMULPNU. It creates an area of 30-feet by 30-feet on the ground below the wearer, above which gravity is reversed. The effect is this area is identical to that of the reverse gravity spell, in other words, pretty drastic (there are already 8 gnomes and a chicken in low orbit around the planet). The field lasts 1d4 rounds. Campaign lore: Nesgasp gave this ring to Souriin after the second game of Runestones in 2694:5, accompanied by a note: Feeling down? This is the perfect pick-me-up. TEMMULPNU.Later, realising that he was already using two rings, Souriin gave the ring to Tekuna in return for an unspecified future favour. Ring of Animal Friendship When held to the ear, very faint chittering, growling and yelping noises can be heard coming from this yellow-coloured ring. Powers: On command (EMEKILUOY), this ring affects an animal as if the wearer had cast animal friendship. The ring wearer can befriend 12 HD worth of animals (see the spell description). If animal friendship is already on the character's spell list, this ring allows the character to befriend additional animals. Campaign lore: Damalanthas
retrieved this item from Camanthalar's tower early in 2705:7. It has been
examined by the University staff and is currently stored at Griffon
Keep
Ring of Feather Falling This small blue-coloured ring has chicken's footprints embossed all around its inside surface. Powers: This ring activates a normal feather fall spell whenever the wearer falls five feet or more. The ring also has the unusual (and sometimes useful) side effect of conjuring up a chicken each time the feather-falling effect is activated. Campaign
lore: Damalanthas obtained this ring in mid-2695 by swapping it for
a rod of terror and 1000 gp with someone in the Pirsian College of Wizardry.
In return for his help in blackmailing Commander Tolmaq with the plague
sample in 2694:9, Damalanthas gave this ring to Artak. Someone somewhere
is getting mightily annoyed about all his (or her or its) vanishing chickens.
Powers: This ring allows the wearer to leap about as if a jump spell had been cast upon him, adding a +30 bonus to all Jump checks and eliminating his usual maximum distance. The ring is limited to four uses per day. Campaign
lore: This was part of the beholder Voktarn's horde, recovered in 2694:9.
Joranth left this ring to Euvgeni
when he died in 2705:3.
Ring of Mental Fortitude This is a plain ring, but of fine workmanship. It is made of blue-tinted silver metal. Powers: Not requiring an activation word, the ring functions as soon as it is worn. The wearer of the ring is completely immune to detect thoughts, discern lies and any attempt to magically discern his alignment. Additionally, the grants a bonus of +4 to any saves made against psionic powers. Campaign
lore: Damalnthas plundered this ring from the body of the priestess
of Liliyos in the third quarter of 2694. In 2705:3, just prior to entering
the Ruined City, agreed to swap this ring for Souriin's Ring
of Mind Shielding. A few days later, Damalanthas stole it back from
Souriin. Souriin has since recovered it from the bard.
Powers: The activation word for this ring is KCOLBDNIM, but since the ring stays active until the word is spoken a second time the word is seldom needed. The wearer of the ring is completely immune to detect thoughts, discern lies and any attempt to magically discern his alignment. Unfortunately, this ring offers no protection against psionic powers. Campaign
lore: This ring once belonged to the evil witch Estendenta. When Euvgeni
beheaded her in 2693:4, Souriin took the ring. In 2705:3, just prior to
entering the Ruined City, Damalanthas agreed to swap his Ring
of Mental Fortitude for this ring. A few days later, however Damus
stole the Ring of Mental Fortitude back from Souriin and replaced it with
this ring. Souriin has since recovered the Ring of Mental Fortitude and
returned this ring to the bard.
Powers: This ring has two modes of operation — at night and underground — both of which work only in relative darkness. During night hours, under the open sky, the shooting stars ring will perform the following functions:
The second special function, shooting stars, produces glowing protectiles with fiery trails, much like a meteor swarm. Three shooting stars can be released from the ring each week, simultaneously or one at a time. They impact for 12 points of damage and spread (as a fireball) in a 5-foot diameter sphere for 24 points of fire damage. Any creature struck by a shooting star takes full damage from impact plus full damage from the spread unless a Reflex save (DC 13) is made. Creatures not struck but within the spread ignore the impact damage and take only half damage from the fire spread on a successful Reflex save (DC 13). Range is 70 feet, at the end of which the shooting star explodes, unless it strikes an object or creature before that. A shooting star always follow a straight line path, and any A creature in the path must make a save or be hit by the missile. Indoors at night, or underground, the ring of shooting stars has the following properties:
Campaign
lore: This ring was recovered from the buried desert city in 2705:9.
Damalanthas now has it.
Powers: Armour bonus +2, Fortitude save bonus +2; these bonuses do not stack with any bonuses from magical armour. Campaign lore: Euvgeni
usually wears this ring.
Ring of Wraithform This ring is made of a thin band of white material. Powers: The ring allows its wearer to become insubstantial (as per the gaseous form spell) three times each day. The duration of each use is 3d10 rounds. Campaign lore: Jess Farstrider discovered this ring before she met Damalanthas. She has often used it to escape brushes with death. Most recently, she used it to evade damage from Dagaronzie’s breath, making her one of the few people who has experienced the full brunt of Dagaronzie’s fury without harm. |
