Carceri's Ring

Carceri's Ring is over 4,000 years old, fashioned by an archmage of that long-ago period to help him survive a curse for which he could find no cure. The ring has the following functions:

• Regenerate 2 hit points per round (20 HP/minute)
• Purges the wearer of poisons and diseases
• Regrows lost appendages/limbs in four hours
• Is proof against level-drain and Constitution damage

This powerful magical artifact passed from Carceri into the possession of a mighty druidess who wore it for three decades, but was taken from her corpse by a group of adventurers working for the Outsider Triskelion.

The item lay vaulted in Triskelion's keeping for nigh on six hundred years, for though the Outsider had long ago outgrown any need of its particular powers, still he begrudged that anyone else might benefit from it.

In more recent ages, the ring had come into the possession of the mighty barbarian Lays Waste With Frosted Claws — an awakened polar bear of the Great Tundra. This worthy used its powers to great effect in slaughtering incursions of Shou into its territories in the decades leading up to The Ravaging.

Within living memory, the ring was taken from polar bear bearer by Morda the Witch Queen, who held is a scant fourteen years before adventurers from Westmark laid her low. Carried briefly by Adelbrin the Ranger, it came to Volkeg, father of Caddyshanks, in 193 PR ... and now, from Caddyshanks to Matthias d'Slaytonthorpe.
