Ring of Tu Yu

The Ring of Tu Yu is an intricately-worked ring of blue, green, and white Jade, topped with a mounting of Orichalcum worked into a single Hearthstone Socket. Examined closely, the various lairs of jade can be seen to depict a scene of fields, waters, and walls: it is said to depict the gates of the ancient city of Deheleshen, before it fell to the Great Contagion and became Lookshy. Those who look closely through means of magnifying lenses or Focusing Motonoscopes have claimed to see a tiny figure standing atop the walls of the city, the god Tu Yu, the City Father of Deheleshen for whom the ring was forged to honour.

The Ring of Tu Yu was said to have been worn as part of the god's panoply, until the end of the Great Contagion when it was said it began to slip from the finger of the devastated god, and was taken up by his daughter Tien Yu, god of Lookshy and the Seventh Legion. She bore it in turn for centuries, until gifting it as a token of favour to a young officer of her Legion for an act of great heroism.

The Lookshyan hero bore it in turn, but during a deployment in Great Forks it came into possession of a young dilettante of the Scarlet Dynasty, Cynis Svanad, who left Great Forks soon after. The exact circumstances of the exchange remain unclear… the officer and Lookshy accused Svanad of thievery, Svanad retorted that it had been gifted him as a token of affection when the two became lovers, the accusations mere sour grapes when he had cast the officer aside for being 'unfortunately lacking in virtue'. The truth of the matter will likely never be known, and Svanad now retains the ring in his possession on the Blessed Isle.
