Dareth Bellenaris (The Ring of Eternal Protection)

Ring: Guardian Spirit (Blocks one melee attack every thirty seconds), +10 Armor Rating

The ring is simple in design. A thin band worked in veridium wire. When worn, 3 runes or symbols flash briefly then fade. When the wearer is under attack, the runes flash to life.

    The day before my sister left to go to another clan who’d just lost their Keeper, we took a walk among the trees.  She handed me a ring-a simple ring, made of a greenish metal wire, twisted in a simple pattern.  

    “Wear it, stupid,” she’d told me. “You’ll need something to protect you once I’m gone.”

    I remember sticking out my tongue as I slid the ring onto my first finger. Elvish symbols glowed briefly and I thought I felt an odd sense of something settling around me.  

    Growing up with my sister, magic was nothing surprising to me. As I turned to ask how it worked, she pointed her staff at my face, sending a jolt of frost right at me!  I barely had time to register surprise, let alone move as I saw something leap in front of me to take the blow. Her laughter overcame my anger, as always, and I wore the ring for many years.

    Look, I don’t know exactly how it works, I just know that it saved my hide on many occasions. I want you to have it so it can protect you once I’m gone.
