Ring of the Unmet Vows

Properties

The band feels heavier than its size suggests, its surface polished to a mirror sheen despite centuries of neglect. When worn, it grants the bearer a subtle aura of grace, easing social interactions as if the wearer were newly betrothed. The ring also records the name of the first soul who touches it, inscribing it in a barely perceptible script that fades after a day.

Lore

Catalogued by an archivist who could not identify its origin, the ring bears fresh paint over ancient ironwork, as if a craftsman attempted to disguise its age. Legends whisper of two lovers who never crossed paths; each forged a band for the other, and a mischievous fey merged them into a single token. The ring has since waited, seeking the moment when its halves might finally unite.
