(Ancient artifact from the world of Krynn)

This is the ring that belongs to Tika Wayland, former barmaid of the Inn Of The last Home in the town of Solace and now adventurer.
To Tika, this ring (worn on a necklace) is but a memento of her father. She has not yet discovered its true uses. In times of stress, she slips on the ring, asking her father for guidance. Unbeknownst to Tika, this activates the ring. This is both a Ring of Protection and a Ring of Resistance.

Unknown to Tika this ring is known as the Ring of Nature's Love and a long history ties this ring to the Age of Dreams.

Long ago It passed to a Lady Ellyth, who gave it to her son Arin for his bride. Sadly, fair Marissa, Arin's love, had also melted the cold heart of Kryl Shadestalker, a vampiric creature. Master Kryl stole Marissa's life breath, making her one of his ilk. To seal the pact, he forced her to slay Arin. Although eternally damned, fair Marissa would never bow to Kryl's lust. Decades later, she threw herself on the witch hunter's stake both to spite Master Kryl and to end her torment. Kryl saved the ring to remind him of his loss.
Then Master Kryl retired to a manor in the desolate Crumbled Spine of Abanasinia. He swore never to love again. One day his travels took him to the ramshackle port of Dering's Way. While gauging the cattle for his next repast, Kryl fell prey to a common thief, a small girl (Tika) who slipped the ring from his finger while deigning courtesy. Outraged, Kryl sent his minions to locate the girl. They never returned. After a fortnight, a mage named Alleran Waylan knocked at Kryl's door.
Waylan said that his daughter had the vampire's ring and he proposed a game of chance to decide ownership. Intrigued, Kryl agreed. If he lost, he would leave the mage and girl-child alone. If he won, he would claim both the ring and their lives.

How the game ended none knows. Some say Waylan won and Kryl, loathe though he was, honored the bargain. Others say the con man cheated Kryl, and the furious vampire swore to exact revenge one day. The unliving can be patient. Whatever happened, Waylan lived. The lord of deceit did eventually return to challenge the mage, but Waylan had teleported Tika and the ring away to a new land. Tika wears the ring on a chain about her neck as a memento of her father. She does not know of its power, but in times of stress, she will slip on the ring asking for her father's guidance. This activates the ring. Where fate will lead her is unknown.
A fortune-teller once said to her, "Nature's love will one day find its true heart and healing hands."

The spirit of the earth mage, Heris Jerrold, inhabits the Ring of Nature's Love. Heris's brother Trae and Trae's betrothed Mirri inhabit the other two artifacts in the Circle of Love.
