Ring of free action

A ring of free action was a magical item that prevented one's movement from being magically or physically restricted.

Description
These rings were usually made of gold and the name of the deity Shaundakul was engraved on the inside of the ring in a flowing cursive script.

The ring of free action created by the elves of pre-Weeping War Myth Drannor bore the name of Shaundakul and were of semi-circular shape.

Powers
The ring allowed the wearer to move unencumbered through difficult or irregular terrain such as snow or ice, swamps or debris. It also prevented magic from slowing down, restraining or paralyzing the wearer, similar to the effects of the freedom of movement spell.

The ring of free action of the ancient elven make allowed the user to cast the freedom of movement spell at will.

History
Sometime before 1310 DR, seven of these rings were created for Lord Sennel. He gave these rings to his seven guards entrusted with the lord's treasury. The rings allowed the guards effortlessly walk through he enchanted paralysis fields set inside the vault. Unfortunately, the seven guards used this as an opportunity and robbed the lord blind.

In the late 14 century DR these ring could be found in various locations across the Sword Coast in pockets of merchants and fingers of adventurers.
