Anagrys' Shackle-Breaker
After completing her training, the dwarven wizard Anagrys Brightbrass joined up with a team of several other gold dwarf adventurers to hunt down and destroy the mind flayers and other aberrations that lurked in the Underdark around the Great Rift. Their initial raids against duergar slaving operations and beholder cults were successful, and resulted in the liberation of many enslaved dwarves and humans. The group's first encounter with illithids was less successful; although Anagrys had her Mindmaze helm that rendered her immune to the mind flayer's mental domination, her companions were not so protected and the adventurers found themselves suddenly turned one against the other.
Once the dominated adventurers were either freed from the illithid's psionic control (or pummeled into unconsciousness), the group limped back to the Great Rift, humbled but determined to make better preparations for their next expedition. Anagrys forged this ring to ensure that history would not repeat itself.

Finger of the Lame Kobold
Sholsarrath was the name of a shaman of the Skulking Dragon kobold tribe that once dwelt in the Nether Mountains. In most kobold tribes, the shaman is accorded great respect and more than a little fear, as they are thought to channel the power of the race's dragon ancestors. Sholsarrath, however, was an especially stupid and weak-willed kobold, and the tribe's war-leader simply bullied Sholsarrath into declaring that the dragon-gods had proclaimed whatever decree the chief wanted them to decree. Fed up and sickened by the chief's lack of respect, Sholsarrath resolved to have his revenge. The puny shaman made a great sacrifice to Kurtulmak, god of all kobolds, and to his amazement, the god deigned to send a demonic messenger to bargain with the kobold. The demon - a lesser imp known to the mages of the Realms as Yargulbuzul, offered Sholsarrath vast and terrible power - at a price. Sholsarrath gave up his right first finger, which the demon twisted into a ring.
When the chief came to Sholsarrath later that night and ordered the shaman to announce that the gods had proclaimed that each family of the tribe should give unto him its fairest daughter as a wife, the shaman refused. The enraged chief clubbed Sholsarrath to the floor, but to his shock the shaman rose immediately, his wounds already healing. Filled with terror at this manifestation of divine might, the chief fell to his knees and begged forgiveness. Sholsarrath acceded - on the condition that the chief proclaim that the fairest daughter of every family be given to the shaman as a bride.

Graena's Bond
In life, Graena Blood-Has-Dried was an ex-Uthgardt barbarian who prospered as a successful adventurer and explorer of dangerous ruins. In death, she became the thrall of a powerful magic-using vampire who dwelt in the ruins of an ancient Illefarn outpost. Graena's master recognized that her impetuous nature might cause her to get into battles beyond her ability. He provided Graena with a ring that allowed her to heal herself. Of course, this ring also had a curse placed upon it. If Graena attempted to stray outside of the master's domain, a customized enchantment would awaken and destroy her physical form.
As fate would have it, years after Graena's death, a traveling group of Uthgardt barbarians traveling to Waterdeep mistakenly decided to camp for the night in some Illefarn ruins. To their surprise, they quickly learned that the area was ruled by a vampire lord and patrolled by his minions. The barbarians quickly destroyed many of the vampire's minor servants and, as heroic barbarians are wont to do, they decided to seek out the master of the area. After hours of exploration and terrible battle, the barbarians reached the master's lair. Expecting to find only him, they were dismayed at the sight of an undead Uthgardt warrior woman standing at his side.
Graena immediately recognized her distant kin and knew what she had to do. She sprinted for the high cliff that marked the edge of her master's domain and leapt off before the vampire understood what was happening. The ring's dormant power awoke and turned Graena's body to dust, destroying her instantly. Shocked, the vampire lord did not have the presence of mind to mount a defense against his barbarian assailants. The Uthgardt slew the vampire lord and finished their journey to Waterdeep. In the city, they paid a priest of Tempus to travel with them as they returned to the site. The priest cleansed the area of its undead taint and helped the barbarians construct a cenotaph for their mysterious undead kin who had sacrificed herself to save them.

Heart of Ilum Lura
In the ancient Illefarn Empire, all members of the imperial family had a number of personal retainers. Though it was uncommon for distant relatives of the emperor to have an extensive network of servants, his beautiful niece, Ilum Lura, had over twenty. Her favorite servant was a woman named Ealana. Ealana was Ilum's constant companion and assistant no matter where the imperial niece traveled. Ealana comforted her in her most private of times and celebrated her every joy.
Unfortunately for both Ilum and Ealana, rumors about the pair reached the ears of the emperor. To prevent the eruption of rumor into scandal, the emperor had Ealana removed from her position and assigned to his personal service. As a parting gift, Ilum gave Ealana a simple silver ring. Ealana wore the ring until her death hundreds of years later.

Heirloom of Asenath
Very few Thayvian histories will ever mention that nation's great trouble with the slave woman Asenath. That the Red Wizards of Thay were challenged by a slave was embarrassing enough, but the fact that she was a sorcerer made her lifelong defiance even more problematic.
The wizards' first mistake was in enslaving a powerful sorcerer: Asenath's father, Nen. A Red Wizard had defeated Nen in an underhanded magical duel. The wizard crippled Nen's magical abilities and enslaved him for added humiliation. When another wizard killed Nen's master and took all of his slaves, there was no record that Nen had been a sorcerer. The new mistress bred Nen with another magical talent: a defeated Rashemi witch. The result was a seemingly unexceptional female child, but the mother died in childbirth.
The mistress named the child Asenath, and saw no harm in keeping the child in the household with her father. Asenath was a cleaning girl for the first dozen years of her life. Despite being a Red Wizard, her mistress was kind and allowed Asenath's father to visit her regularly.
In 1247 DR, the mistress was attacked by a large group of Red Wizards for political reasons. Fearing her slaves would be slaughtered, the mistress released all of their bonds, including the ones that held back Nen's magical abilities. Nen and the mistress fought valiantly against the attackers, but in the end they could not hold out. Asenath went to her dying father and from him received a carved bone ring.
Though most of the Red Wizard attackers had already left, a few apprentices lingered behind with thugs to "clean up" survivors. When they saw Asenath, they did not hesitate to attack her. Fortunately for Asenath, aided by the power of the ring and the magical powers inside her, was able to lay waste to her impetuous assailants. The battle was to be the beginning of a long war between Asenath and the Red Wizards of Thay.

Mynseril Lostbone was a powerful priest of Malar who enjoyed many a bloody brawl or battle, but felt that such fights were simply over too soon.

Confounded by the inability to wear more than two magical rings at once, and desiring the powers of several of his own rings, Jagen Marsk, a Turmish noble, researched the combining of powers in magical rings. While what he was really hoping for was to combine invisibility with teleportation, he eventually had to settle with this ring, that provided a measure of magical protection, with a handy light source. He now sells these rings to finance his ever-growing obsession with more powerful combinations.

Ring of the Ram
Pal Verbosh was the deadliest pirate of the Nelanther Ilses. While other pirate ships would work together to capture large, heavily guarded cargos, the Tight-lipped Sailor would wait and watch, then steal in and pillage from the other pirates. No one except Verbosh's own crew ever lived to tell about it, because Verbosh put them all to the sword, then sank their ships. Finally, Verbosh and his fellow cutthroats bit off more than they could chew and were sunk by a fellow pirate, whose magical ring punched a hole in the Tight-lipped Sailor's hull that sank the ship in only a few minutes.

Ring of the Wood Elves
As a child, Lady Aribeth de Tylmarande helped to save her home of Thundertree from the spells of a power-hungry Luskan wizard, doing so with the aid of this ring. Crafted by the elves of the Neverwinter Wood and given to her by the ranger Ansal Bloodshoulder, it was once a dear possession of hers... but no longer. On the road to becoming a paladin of Tyr, there have been times when she felt the need to break from her past - to shed certain parts of herself so that the light of the Just God would find her unburdened. For whatever reason, Lady Aribeth no longer chooses to recognize this ring as hers, and it has passed to other hands. Like its former owner, the silver band is graceful and resilient, elegant but with a hidden strength.
