Spirits are high and joyous hymns fill the air as the journeying priests and priestesses wave goodbye before setting out.

|The vaalorn ring tells you the story of how a half-elven man came to the encampment of the temple wardens one night, and, although they were somewhat shy and hesitant around him, they did their best to make him welcome at their fire. Not one of the clergy mentioned his heritage, and, before long, they laughed and joked with him as readily as if he were fully human.
|The soft chirp of crickets sings through the air, accompanied by the faint smell of woodsmoke.

|As the night continued, talk became more serious, and the golden-haired half-elf asked of their mission. The priests and priestesses told him that they were from Oire, and that their temple existed as a haven for all manifestations of love, but that repairs were sorely needed, and the local people were too poor to donate the needed funds. On the advice of a junior priestess from another temple in Oire, they had decided to gamble upon this merchanting venture, and sunk almost all of their funds into this matter. As they spoke of their mission, they admitted to some worry, but they said that they were certain their patrons would not let the temple be lost to financial ruin if it were truly serving the will of Oleani.

After hearing the group's explanation, the half-elf smiled, and he reached into a pocket of his scarlet cloak to withdraw a gold-petalled rose that shone like a piece of the sun to the group's dazzled eyes.

"Place this with whatever goods you most value, and, so long as your hearts are true, the will of Voaris shall surely favor you," he instructed an astonished priestess, and he closed her fingers gently around the thornless stem. Then, he was gone, leaving the group awed and stunned.

The chest remained untouched until the group joined with the main caravan and began to set up shop. All circled around as the priestess who had originally received the rose opened the chest again.

Although the rose was gone, reverent wonder filled them with the sight of the rings, for a soft golden shimmer cloaked each one with divine radiance. The golden glow lasted only a few scant minutes before fading away, but the hearts of the clergy still blazed with joy as they went about arranging the goods for sale.

The exterior may have changed in appearance, but the blessings placed upon the ring by clergy and by the greater spirit alike still remain, and, as the last echoes of the ring's song fade away, it seems likely that those resonances are so powerful that no force in the world could disturb them.
