'''''Akkabar's battleblade ring''''' was the first of the ''[[Qysari Rings]]'' and could form a ''[[blade barrier]]'' when a command word was spoken.<ref name="PGtF-122" /><ref name="C-90">{{Cite book/Calimport|90}}</ref>

==Description==
Like other ''[[shoonring]]''s, this ring was made from strands of metal woven like twisted vines, but each vine was made of swords touching point to pommel.<ref name="PGtF-122" /> The direction of the pointing swords turned at right angles if a [[cleric]], [[druid]], or other priest donned the ring. [[Warrior]]s and [[rogue]]s saw the raised pattern of swords become smooth to the touch. [[Wizard]]s saw no change in the design when placed on their finger.<ref name="C-90" /> Copies of this ring were known to exist, but they did not exhibit this morphing feature when donned by someone other than a practitioner of [[the Art]].<ref name="PGtF-122" />

==Powers==
Once a day<ref name="PGtF-122" /> the ring could be commanded to produce a ''blade barrier'' in the direction indicated by the wearer.<ref name="PGtF-122" /><ref name="C-90" /> The swords on the ring unraveled from the wearer's hand and became whirling daggers of force that slashed anything that tried to penetrate the sharp curtain.<ref name="PHB3.5-205">{{Cite book/Player's Handbook v.3.5|205}}</ref> When the spell ended, either by reaching the end of its duration or by being recalled by the wearer, the sword reformed back into a ring at the center of the barrier and returned to the wearer's hand a few seconds later. If the wearer was dead, too far away (60 feet or 18 meters), or was blocked by obstacles such that no shorter path existed, the ring dropped from where it hovered.<ref name="PGtF-122" />

==History==
This ring was made for [[Akkabar Shoon the Elder]] before he became [[Pasha]] of [[Calimshan]] in the [[-77 DR|Year of Flaming Stones, &minus;77 DR]]. He used it with great effectiveness in his bid to eliminate his predecessor.<ref name="C-91">{{Cite book/Calimport|91}}</ref> Hundreds of years later, in the [[371 DR|Year of Emerald Eyes, 371 DR]], the ring became part of the first tribute to the [[Blue dragon|great blue]] [[Dragon aging|wyrm]] [[Iryklathagra]], negotiated by Qysara [[Shaani]], and thus the last known location of ''Akkabar's battleblade ring'' was in the treasure vaults of the dreaded Sharpfangs.<ref name="DoF-23">{{Cite book/Dragons of Faerûn|23}}</ref>

==Notable Owners==
* [[Akkabar Shoon the Elder]]
* All the [[Shoon Imperium/Family tree|Shoon family dynasty]] down to [[Shaani]]
* [[Iryklathagra]]
