Description

The Ring of Nox's Favor is an intricate piece of jewelry, wrought from an obsidian-black alloy that seems to absorb light. The band is thin and perfectly round, and seems to be one continuous piece with no seams or joints. The ring's face is adorned with a delicate, sapphire-shaped glass vial, containing a swirling, luminescent violet liquid. Small, elaborate etchings resembling alchemical formulas and celestial patterns are engraved along the band. When worn, the wearer might notice a faint, tingling sensation, as if the ring's very existence flits between the physical and the alchemical realms.

Lore

Nox, the Celestial Alchemist, was a figure of legend who devoted eternity to understanding the mysteries of the universe through alchemy. It is said that Nox had an unparalleled mastery over toxins and potions and could bend their properties to his will. The Ring of Nox’s Favor is believed to have been created by Nox himself, a small fraction of his immense knowledge imbued within the ring. The ring grants the wearer a touch of Nox’s power over poisons and toxins. Legends say that it was given to an ancient apothecary as a reward for helping Nox source a rare ingredient. Since then, it has passed through the hands of many, sometimes serving as a boon and other times as an ominous reminder of the fine line between poison and remedy.
