Story Post: A Ring of Ice and Ash

Adminned at 13 Jul 2025 15:46:15 UTC

Pip, a lowly servant in the tower of the dying wizard Krondor, is unwittingly bequeathed the old man’s most feared artifact, an enchanted ring which has the power to lay waste to the land, or to those who would conquer it. As Pip mourns the death of his master and begins the long journey home across the frozen volcanic kingdom of Gur, the ring’s great power begins to make itself apparent.

Score 2. “An X of Y and Z” is an overplayed trope in literature names
