A ring of warmth was a magical ring that protected its wearer against the effects of extremely cold temperatures.[1][3][4]
Powers[]
A creature attuned to and wearing a ring of warmth was not bothered by ambient temperatures as low as −50 ℉ (−46 ℃) with no need for cold weather gear or clothing, as a result of the additional body heat magically generated by the ring. In addition, any items carried or worn by the wearer were also immune to those low temperatures. The ring also offered considerable protection against magical cold, greatly reducing any damage taken by the wearer from a cold source.[1][3][4]
History[]
By the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR,[note 1] a ring of warmth dating from the time of the Delzoun dwarves was located in a forgotten chamber of the Vault of Dragons beneath Waterdeep, together with other treasures and dwarven relics.[5]
Notable Uses[]
A pair of rings of warmth were kept in the kitchen of the House of the Moon temple of Selûne in Waterdeep circa 1370 DR. These were used to safely enter the refrigerated pantry, which was kept chilly by a brown mold. One ring was worn by senior priest on duty, the other kept on a hook by the door.[6]
Notable Owners[]
- Carmen, a talented fighter, possessed a ring of warmth.[7]
- Chalak, a tribal soldier in the hordelands, wore a ring of warmth.[8]
- Dhoran, a mercenary of the hordelands wore a ring of warmth.[9]
- Dugal Buchannan[10]
- Kamshir Strongtalon, a barbarian priest in the northern Faerûn.[11]
- Mordmorgan, a swashbuckler adventurer from Cormyr in the mid-14th century DR.[12] His ring's area of warmth was 5 feet (1.5 meters) and could warm up to six other individuals in addition to the wearer.[13]
Appendix[]
Notes[]
- ↑ Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but Christopher Perkins answered a question via Twitter and stated the year was 1492 DR. Corroborating this, Dragon Heist page 20 refers to events of Death Masks (set in 1491 DR) as being "last year". Unless a canon source contradicts this assertion, this wiki will use 1492 DR for events related to this sourcebook and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage (which is referenced on pages 5 and 98 of Dragon Heist).
