Veyne's Rings

The necromancer Veyne gave a number of adventurers special rings after extracting oaths of allegiance.

Description

a polished black stone ring engraved with a worn crest

A tangle of cryptic lettering has been carved into the black stone ring, surrounding the faint image of a screaming skull silhouetted against a pyre writhing flames.

Paladin Guild researcher Oane examined one of these rings and stated that the crest was similar or identical to crests that some Dragon Priests bear. One person reported getting messaging to the effect of a bitter chill racing through their veins as the ring seemed to tremble in their hand as if it was calling them. Therengia also came into possession of a ring.

Ring-Bearers:

Note that the following lists are not necessarily accurate due to the inability to verify either inclusion or exclusion. Because these lists are maintained by players about players there is always the risk of addition due to malice or removal due to desire for annonymity. Thus the page will be patrolled and any alterations to the list MUST be fully explored in the discussion or risk removal. -Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi^(talk) 02:08, 9 June 2008 (CDT)

Current Ring-Bearers:

It may be difficult to identify everyone who has accepted one of Veyne's rings, because some choose not to wear them openly. According to Lukka, one of Veyne's followers, most ring-bearers "find it sufficient to carry it and not bear the brunt of wearing it." Some ring-bearers were given additional rings to issue to others under unknown terms.

• Airasen
• Bedan
• Bluewither

Attempts to Return Veyne's Rings

Creast is the first known ring-bearer to willingly attempt to give his ring back and renounce Veyne; upon doing so, Veyne threatened him with a sacrificial dagger and removing a scale from his chest. Creast was then dismissed and died a short time later near Langenfirth due to multiple poisons and severe fleshrot.

Shellwind returned her ring, stating "she only requested a ring to to save her marriage with Darkgaze." Shellwlind openly renounced any ties to Veyne in the presence of Bluewither and Vahlissa. She requested the escort of Angel, who brought her to Shard as a witness. Shellwind claims to have been sniped by Sebastienne while in Therengia. In fact, this was witnessed by her "then husband" Jarreck, a noble Paladin. Sebastienne denies any involvement in the killing, accusing Shellwind of arranging her own assassination.

Manze also wore a ring but returned it for unknown reasons. He was also murdered by Bluewither for publicly denying his acceptance.

Dejoneira returned her ring for unknown reasons and is now allowed in Therengia.
