Ring of Gaxx

The ring of Gaxx was a powerful and particularly evil magic ring owned by the demilich Kangaxx.

Description
While it was rather plain in appearance, the ring did feature a faceted gem with nine different sides. It radiated pure evil energy that came from the terrible magic it held.

Powers
The ring of Gaxx offered many boons to its wearer. It protected them from mundane physical harm, offered them limited resistance to spells and magical effects, granted them a form of regeneration, and even rendered them immune to any form of poison or disease.

Using the ring's powers, its wearer could make themselves invisible for hours at a time, and greatly quicken their actions for a matter of seconds.

History
The ring was crafted by Kangaxx sometime during the era of ancient Netheril, thousands of years before the Era of Upheaval. It was believed that the power of the ring's gem was drawn from great death and loss.

It was interred with Kangaxx in his tomb, within a subterranean crypt in western Faerûn, atop which was built the city of Athkatla. The lich's body was sundered to pieces and scattered in various locations, watched over by the very Netherese liches that sought Kangaxx's destruction.

Reputation
While it was worth a significant sum in gold, most merchants were unwilling to deal with the vile item.
