Description
The most common forms taken by a ring of triumph is either a single band marked with one each of the Runes of Summer, Autumn and Day or a single ring formed of three interwoven bands, each of a different precious metal.
These rings are most common in the theatrical circles of the League. The leader of a troupe might offer this ring to a particularly valued performer-ritualist to guarentee their loyalty to the troupe. Those who excel in heroic roles tend to be offered this ring, while skilled villains are offered a Ring of Adversity. A player wearing this ring is seen as both powerful and loyal, making them an excellent advertisement to potential employers. Patrons of troupes also sometimes offer these rings, bearing the patron's sigil, to leading actors to bind them entirely to that one patron. To take such a ring for the power it offers without fully embracing the associated loyalty is seen as weak and foolish.
Elsewhere, these rings are valued by ritualists who prefer versatility. Some specialists scorn them with the name Merry Dabbler's Baubles, but cannot deny their usefulness. The Stargazers of Urizen seek to understand the variation between the realms and find these rings useful for supplementing their broad studies and particularly Day magic.
Rules
- Form: Jewellery (Talisman)
- Effect: Once per day you may use this ring to gain one additional rank of either Summer Lore, Autumn Lore or Day Lore for the purposes of performing a single ritual.
- Materials: Crafting a ring of adversity requires nine ingots of orichalcum, nine ingots of weltsilver, six ingots of green iron and six measures of iridescent gloaming. It takes one month to make one of these items.
Margrave Liutswind raises her fist in defiance, the ring prominently displayed to the audience and to Margrave Luitpold.
Luitpold: Ah, but that is not the ring you think it is dear Sister for I took that one from you last night while you slept.
Liutswind: No dear Brother, you are wrong - for it was your wife who swapped the rings the day before for me and it was you who gave me back my Triumph and with it granted me your DESTRUCTION!
