Signet of the Silent Guard
A ring of pure, high-quality steel bearing a small engraved bird. Given by Aldric Voss to Kailas after their duel — Aldric claimed it isn’t magical, but insisted it would prove useful.
History
- Awarded to Kailas by Aldric Voss in Session 67, following the honourable duel in which Kailas bested the old soldier.
- Aldric, a former soldier who served Emperor Corvin Thorian, gave it as both a token and a tool — its precise purpose left unstated.
Notable Features
- Forged of high-quality steel, not a precious metal — plain but finely made.
- Engraved with a small bird.
- Inspected by Dristuul under firelight; he detected nothing magical about it.
- The name suggests a tie to an order or unit known as the “Silent Guard.” Given Aldric’s imperial past, it may serve as a signet of membership or rank — a credential that could open doors within the Antamian Empire.
Open Questions
- What is the Silent Guard, and what doors does the signet open?
- How will it prove “useful,” as Aldric promised?
