Through the Ages
The Nine Rings is a name found throughout history and mythology. From terrorist organisations to secret cults, many have worn the name to use the mythical aura surrounding it for themselves. We know that the name appeared during the Age of Wrath but its origins, the organisation using it, their purpose and members are lost to the Oblivion Hour. The only remnant a silver ring with strange symbols and a fly figurine in its centre.
