Intent: A ring for forcers who wish to engage in search and rescue operations in the event of mass casualty situations.
Development Thread: Upon request.
Manufacturer: Vorhi Alestrani made them himself.
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Members of the Omega Pyre, the Galactic Alliance, the Salai Kasi, and any Obsidian Knight who asks can acquire one. Vorhi made these as a symbol to never repeat the mistakes made, after all. Other people requesting one may need to ask in person for them.
Modularity: No, but some folks wear it on a chain instead of their finger.
Production: Minor.
Material: Alchemically imbued scrap metal, taken directly from the debris of Druckenwell, after the colony cam crashing down upon them.
Strengths:
When a force user focuses, they can use this ring to perceive severe emotional distress and physical trauma, honing their internal senses to better detect those in need of rescue.
The ring provides a general sense of direction and severity of both physical and emotional trauma.
The ring is imbued with the spirit of a victim of the Druckenwell Fall, and can provide brief flashes of instinct and advice to a search party, if a force-user is practiced enough to commune with the ring.
Weaknesses:
It implies severity, but not actual types of condition. You can't use this ring to divine if your critical victim is bleeding or drowning, just that they're a minute's walk to the north of you and severely panicking.
You still have to rescue said hapless victims through your own ingenuity. This just helps you find the poor dears.
The spirit of the ring is less helpful when it thinks your'e being callous, cruel or just cold. Sometimes it will even be mad if you have to make a hard decision, and you'll have to spend time re-attuning and possibly even atoning. It also doesn't work as well if your intentions are ground in more vengeful or petty mindsets.
It takes about two weeks of attuning to get the spirit to work alongside you when you initially acquire one of the the rings.
Description:
“Ei koskaan uudestaan”(Never Again)--Inscribed in old Palawan on every ring.
The Ring of Rescue was designed after the Battle of Druckenwell. When Vorhi Alestrani tapped into the fear and anger of thousands of people, doing everything in his power to save the few people around him from the falling debris, he snapped. A part of him broke under the burden of hearing, and seeing, so much death, so many innocent lives ended, and for nothing more than the Techno Union and the Omega Protectorate's bloody game of thrones and swords and honors.
Both of those nations, nations he tried to guide towards peace, have since fallen. But, like his desire for peace, there were others. Heirs t those legacies. His own students, remnants of the Obsidian Knights who had grown sorrowful at what the Techno Union became, members of the Omega Protectorate and it's accompanying Pyre who desire more than war, who desired a way to help those afflicted by such cruel fates.
With bit of information acquired from alchemists, and old texts, and salvaged wreckage gathered from the crash site, and hours of prayer and meditation, Vorhi Alestrani crafted thousands of rings, each sworn with prayer, imbued with a willing, departed soul who desired to bring strength to those who would rescue their fellow sentients from strife and suffering across the galaxy.
Each ring is imbued with a spirit, and gifted with a sight not unlike that of the old Miraluka himself—they can 'see' life forces through a crude form of force sight. Imbued with the Miraluka's own instinct for perceiving emotion and distress, the spirits within each ring can communicate the location of people in distress, homing in on their auras and pointing them out to the wielder. While it can take time to attune oneself to the spiritually bonded stone in the ring, a force-user who wishes to do medical or rescue work can find this tool indispensable in Mass Casualty and Disaster Rescue scenarios.
