Ignorr's mind-shielding ring

CanonOfficial lore from the books▶ Actual play

Ignorr's mind-shielding ring is a family heirloom of the elf commander Ignorr in the campaign Zincirsiz ("Unchained"). Jonathan River, seeking to guard his mind above all in sleep and dreams, asked after a Ring of Mind Shielding, and Fundin Alsakal thought the commander might have one.12

The loan

Ektelyon carried the request, but asked that Jonathan come himself, explain part of his reason and say what he could offer; he then vouched for him before the commander. Without opening all his secrets, Jonathan asked for the ring for a week, promised to look carefully into the missing soldiers, and offered Elenor's gift as a pledge, which was given back. The commander asked that if, at the end of five days, no solution seemed close and sure, Jonathan tell him everything on the sixth morning, so that the remaining two days could be used to prepare; no date was set for giving back the ring. Jonathan promised to come sooner if hope ran out early.34567

When he put it on, Jonathan felt as if a weight had been lifted from him, though how much of that was in his own mind was left open.8

While he wore it

After another span of time he could not remember, the ring was still on his finger, and Jonathan at first looked for some other influence, since his mind should have been guarded. Lady Teresa explained that the forest's fey works on campers it does not count as friends, rather than striking at or wiping a mind directly. Believing the ring guarded his own mind but not his friends', Jonathan kept the details of his plans to himself. At the last, his forest sight turned aside and the voice of the mind flayer reached him, but that was a harmless message from near at hand, not a breach of the ring's guard.9101112

Returned

At the dinner of thanks held after the danger had passed, the commanders, Master Otto of the witch hunters and Tim weighed Jonathan's service; it was counted against his tax, rewards were discussed, and the end of the quarantine was announced. Jonathan gave the ring back to the commander in its box. Ignorr said he would have liked to make it a gift, but could not, since it was a family heirloom, and instead invited Jonathan to the elves' land.131415
