Ring – Nightbringer

Rings hold significant symbolism in Arthurian legends, they often possess enchantments, powers, or symbolic significance that shape the narrative and characters’ destinies. They represent themes of loyalty, love, honor, and the consequences of choices made by those who possess them.

Rings may be sent from one party to another as tokens of love, distress, identification, used as signets, and so forth. Rings are perhaps the most useful pieces of jewelry for purposes of communication or of intrigue.

Rings with magical powers can be found in Arthurian romances, like Eluned’s ring that turned its wearer invisible. In Sir Gawain and the Carl of Carlisle, Gawaine’s true identity was revealed with a ring and a piece of parchment.
