Rings
Every character has two ring slots. Rings are special because they contribute bonuses that stack with item/spell bonuses (but not with each other). Rings are not shown on the character. Magical rings are often significantly more valuable than items of other types because of how their bonuses stack.
Rings can feature plain bands or jewels in settings. Magical rings may bestow a variety of special properties or defenses on the wearer. Their small size allows their enchantments to complement similar enchantments from other items and spells, and this versatility has made them popular among adventurers.

Bartender’s Ring
Preservation:+10 Defense while Stunned, +10 Defense while Prone
Value: 110cp
This simple wooden ring is orange and gray, and it glows when you’re not wearing it. The ring’s actual history is more speculation than fact. While all sources agree that it was owned by Erol of Levi and that he acquired it after a period of exile, stories differ on the particulars of how he got it. Some say it was a gift from one of the gods, and others say it was the boon of a pact he made with a wicked power.
Serel’s Ring
Of Resolve +2: +2 Resolve
Value: 410cp
This moonstone ring features a large, bright jewel. The gem’s silver glow lends the wearer an air of charisma and determination. This once belonged to Serel, the most sought-after courtesan in Defiance Bay.

Second Chance: Grants Second Chance.
1 per rest
Speed: Instant
Effects:
User: Revive with 30 Endurance
Of Constitution +1: +1 Constitution
Of Might +1: +1 Might
Of Resolve +1: +1 Resolve
Value: 710cp
The druidic order of the Ovates of the Golden Grove believe that the Ring of Wonder is the sapling of one of the great trees that surrounds Teir Evron in Twin Elms. One day, they say it will grow into an even mightier tree. Root-like fibers twine together, sprouting from a shining green bud. The ring adjusts to the finger of the wearer, but removing it can be a painful experience, as the roots bond to flesh.
Seal of Faith
Only usable by: Priest
Seal of Faith: +1 1st-level Spell Uses, +1 2nd-level Spell Uses, +1 3rd-level Spell Uses
Value: 110cp
This thick iron band is dented and scratched and appears to have seen much use. It is studded with 11 small beads, one for each of the gods. It was created by an Aedyran priest to remind him of his devotion, particularly in the heat of battle. It is said that, feeling his fingers rub against the beads, he would say a quick prayer to each of the gods, who blessed him in return.
Ring of Searing Flames
Minor Spellbind: Combusting Wounds: Grants Combusting Wounds.
Causes enemy wounds in the area of effect to ignite, inflicting additional Burn damage over time each time they are wounded.

Snerf’s Folly
Of Resolve +1: +1 Resolve
Of Constitution +2: +2 Constitution
Value: 610cp
Once belonging to the wife of a noted animancer known as Snerf, this white-gold wedding ring is set with a central pink stone flanked by two small diamonds. The shine of the gems stands in stark contrast to the grimy, worn band. It is rumored that while his love was ill and on the brink of death, the desperate animancer performed a radical experiment to merge her soul with his.
According to most versions of the tale, her already weakened body was unable to withstand the strain of the binding. While this process extinguished the little life left in her body, it overwhelmed her soul, fragmenting it into oblivion. Overcome with guilt and despair, the once-great man lived out the last of his days in a svef-induced madness, holding onto the hope that he might somehow glimpse traces of her soul amongst his own pitiful reflection.

Passive
1 per stronghold turn
Effects:
Self: +5 copper
Value: 210cp
This plain gold band contains a power that belies its simple appearance. It’s been passed between animancers, wizards, and other scholars for centuries because it provides a steady income to the wearer, allowing him or her to pursue research interests without being tied to a particular patron.
Pensiavi mes Rèi
Of Might +3: +3 Might
Value: 610cp
The story goes that this ring belonged to the Seeker of Balance, a cipher assassin of the Order of the Black Stone. He was captured in an attempt to kill a ducess in Old Vailia, and while awaiting execution, he channeled his soul into the ring. The ring was then taken by one of the guards who, upon wearing it, was possessed by the Seeker. Through the guard, he completed the assassination of the ducess. Over the years, the ring lost its power to possess but remained a formidable item.
This tarnished old ring isn’t much to look at. By night, however, the mark of the Order of the Black Stone glows from the band.
Gaun’s Pledge
Restores a moderate amount of Endurance to the wearer each time it is used.
2 per rest
Effects:
User: +15.5 Endurance
Value: 410cp
This item grants the ability to shield the wearer from the myriad perils that plague the world of Eora. An aspect of the god Eothas, Gaun represents the harvest of old age, symbolized here by the many interlocking sickles that form the ring. As Gaun helps protect the dignity of old age, so too do his followers pledge to prevent young lives from being harvested before their time.
Ring of the Selonan
Only usable by: Wizard
Ring of Wizardry: +2 1st-level Spell Uses, +2 3rd-level Spell Uses
Value: 110cp
Two centuries after Telda forged a ring extending her spellcasting powers, a wizard of the Vailian Republics sought to improve upon her design. Almert of Selona was never known for particularly original scholarship or spellcraft, and many of his peers accused him of outright plagiarism. It’s widely held that this is the reason he never received much credit for this ring, the one truly remarkable achievement of his career.
Telda’s Ring
Only usable by: Wizard
Ring of Wizardry: +2 1st-level Spell Uses, +3 2nd-level Spell Uses
Value: 110cp
An elven wizard of Aedyr, Telda was forever frustrated by the limits of her own considerable powers. After spending almost two centuries mastering most of the spells known to kith, she found that her greatest challenge lay not with her repertoire, but with her inability to make more frequent use of her magic.
She spent the last century of her life studying a means to amplify her abilities. When at last she developed the spell she needed, she had it built into this ring so that the prudent wizard need not cast the spell to make use of it.
Ring of Unshackling
Minor Spellbind: Suppress Affliction: Grants Suppress Affliction.
Stifles detrimental conditions through sheer force of will, temporarily suspending hostile status effects on allies in the area of effect.
Range: 6m
Area of Effect: 2.5m Radius (base 2.5m)

Friendly AoE: Hostile effects suspended over 5 sec
Value: 210cp
