Lore

The power of the Greater Ring of Protecting has always been in high demand due to the nature of humanoids to inevitably strike at each other, or worse. When the item was first created, demand shot up, and now every adventurer and high profile soldier around the world seeks to arm themselves with a powerful protection ring. It was originally created, at great expense, as a way for a king’s favored knight to gain an edge at a royal jousting tourney. Seizing the victory due to the obvious interference of the ring, the visiting kingdoms were insulted, tensions escalated, and a war broke out shortly after. This served as a catalyst to spur more rings to be produced, and since that time they have filtered out into the world.
