Vailian Dueling Ring is a unique ring and accessory in Avowed.
Details
Among the Vailian people, dueling is a sacred tradition to be taken with the utmost of seriousness. Cheating or otherwise influencing the outcome of a duel is a harshly looked down upon, especially by other duelists. Giotto was a young duelist who quickly earned renown for his natural talent, along with a sizable following of fans. One such fan eventually spotted the faint glow emitted by this ring whenever Giotto seemed like he was about to be struck a lethal blow that always somehow turned out to be just a graze. The fan, disheartened and disillusioned, later challenged Giotto to a duel with a poison-coated blade. As expected, what should have been a decisive strike early in the duel turned out to be a mere graze. The once-fan of Giotto's surrendered then and there, declaring that he was outmatched and quickly left the scene. It was only as Giotto later celebrated his strange victory that he fell victim to the poison coursing through his veins. Though many mourned him at first, the truth about his enchanted ring later became known to the public. These days, he is used as a cautionary tale of what happens to those that violate the sanctity of the duel.
