Ring of the Unremembered

Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

A slender ring forged of blackened gold, its surface mottled with a shard of onyx that seems to swallow light. The runes along the bezel writhe and slip from view when looked at directly, as if memory itself is unthreading. The ring hums softly when someone attempts to recall its wearer, and those who meet the ring-bearer often forget they even met them within a day.

Selective Amnesia Whenever you speak to a creature that has previously met you, that creature must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or forget you for the next 24 hours. If they fail, they cannot recall your name, face, or any memory of your presence for that period; when the time ends, they remember you as if nothing happened.

Memory-Ward (charge-based) You may expend 1 charge to cast Modify Memory on a creature you can see within 60 feet, targeting a memory of your choosing involving you or a recent encounter. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or have that memory altered or erased for the next 24 hours. The ring has 7 charges and regains all charges after dawn.

Lore

The Ring of the Unremembered is said to have been crafted by the Memoria Shapers, memory-weavers who walked between minds to manipulate and erase recollections. Legends say the ring was used by spies who wished to vanish without a trace, and by tyrants who wanted witnesses to forget their crimes.

History

This ring appeared in the hands of a forgotten guildmaster who vanished after a night of intrigue. It resurfaced years later on the finger of a masked assassin who slipped through cities by making witnesses forget the encounter. Each owner swaddled their own secrets, weaving a shadowy history with every sale and swap.
