Ring of protection

"We have varying degrees of rings of protection. These rings are designed to protect the individual who wears. We have one with a basic enchantment and one with one step higher above that."

- Sherri describing the Rings of Protection available at Gilmore's Glorious Goods

A Ring of Protection is an enchanted ring that provides magical protection to the wearer. They come in varying levels of enchantment.

History
Rings of Protection of two levels of enchantment were available for sale at Gilmore's Glorious Goods in Emon. When Vox Machina came by on a shopping trip, party members Pike Trickfoot and Keyleth expressed interest in it, and the party purchases the ring, in addition to several other magic items, and Keyleth would eventually come into possession of it. Vox Machina would later spend some time divvying up their recently purchased magic items, including the Ring of Protection, and Vex'ahlia Vessar would keep it.

An elderly woman who assisted The Broker in a mission to kill Lillith Daturai wore a Ring of Protection. After she was killed, Vox Machina looted it off her body. It was likely this particular Ring of Protection that that Vox Machina presented to the Fire Giant Whaska in the City of Brass as payment for information, which the giant rejected.

Slayer's Take member Kashaw Vesh held a Ring of Protection.

In Tal'Dorei, Rings of Protection were worn by cyclops Stormcallers.

In 835 P.D., Mighty Nein party member Fjord inquired shopkeeper Pumat Sol if he had any "articles of enchantment", such as a ring, cloak, or bracelet. Later, while adventuring beneath Bazzoxan, the Mighty Nein discover a magical ring that party member Caleb Widogast casts Identify on, revealing it to be a Ring of Protection. The ring is promptly given to party member Yasha Nydoorin.
