This is super rough - work in progress

The First Ring Found!

The first of the Platinum rings has been found. Now what?

Mignon "Now what?" indeed.

The Second Ring Found!

2/5/3 Parisia brought to our attention a message posted on the boards by Shonison tonight. Apparently another ring was found in Icemule tonight. The person who found it was being chased by hordes of rotting corpses and nightmare steeds... it seems it is not of interest only to the Ithzir. More than that isn't known.

Third Platinum Ring Found Near Ta'Vaalor

posted by Quinstol on 2/12/03 @ 6:47 AM

Last night Quynar posted a message on the forums about an invasion of rotting corpses and shadow steeds (among other things) in the Lunule Weald near Ta'Vaalor.

There was apparently a talkative ogre looking for a box, and Quynar says his friend found an antique brass chest. Once he picked it up, the creatures started attacking. Quynar's friend lost the chest in the attack and rumor has it someone else was able to make off with it, but who has the chest is either not mentioned or not known. All of this more or less follows the same pattern of the two platinum rings that have been discovered thus far.

Mahegh Reveals Some Background for the Platinum Rings Quest posted by Quinstol on 2/13/03 @ 6:21 AM

Today Mahegh posted a message on the boards telling some of the background behind the currently running Platinum Rings Quest.

It turns out that the story is a bit of an alteration on an old COL vs. Phoenix quest called "the onyx rings" started back in 1994.

Another note from Shetal:

My fellow adventurers, a great setback has occured this past evening. I was tracking the fifth ring and found myself in a tower where a stone mastiff had come in possession of the chest. The Ithzir tracked him there and while he was fleeing, an adventurer arrived, killing the mastiff, but allowing the chest to remain. The Ithzir acolytes arrived, they searched the tower from top to bottom, recovering the chest, then making a hasty retreat, with the protection from a small group of Ithzir adepts.

Alas, the ring is now in the hands of the Ithzir. The current ring holders be forwarned. The Ithzir have one ring, they will come for the others. Take all procautions and may the light guide you.

Fourth Ring Found!

3/13/2003

Karamilla Gravenlord reported, stating that she had found a ring in the dark shrine in the Broken Lands where she was fighting lesser vruul. She says that when she first discovered the ring, it was crafted of urnon, but that last night the chest the ring is stored in bounced and shook, and when she looked at the ring again, it was made of drakar. She made her way to the Voln courtyard to warn people, but was swarmed by undead, so she fled.
