Ring of Warm Vigilance

A slender ring forged of pale, warm-toned metal, the band smooth as glass with subtle runic flecks winding around its circumference. Inset on the top is a small amber gem that glows softly, radiating a gentle heat that seems to pulse with the wearer’s heartbeat. The metal bears the marks of many scouts and travelers who wore it through perilous journeys, and it never reveals why it grows warm—only that warmth signals danger.

Warm Vigilance The ring feels warm on the wearer's finger at all times. Whenever a hostile creature is within 60 feet and able to see you, the warmth intensifies and the ring glows faintly. While danger is nearby, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Lore

A whispered tale says the warmth is the last breath of a fire spirit bound to the ring, chosen to guard a traveler by noting approaches rather than explaining the cause of peril.

History

Originating with a guild of scouts who vanished into a burning mist, the Ring of Warm Vigilance has passed through the hands of guards and rangers, always finding its way to those who face danger with quiet resolve. Its warmth has saved lives by alerting wearers to unseen threats, though it never explains the source of its warning.
