Ethyl now carries the gem in the form of a blood red ring upon her finger.
It is a necromantic piece that feeds on its wearer unless fed otherwise, the food it desires is blood. I know that it has been fed the blood of humans, trolls and others, though mostly that of the wearers in self sacrifice.
The Scion of the Precept has examined it with me here in the temple and we have noted its obvious properties, though i do not think that both the rings have the potency that is seen in the one examined. I believe the one carried by Ethyl is the true gem and the one Miel has is a decoy made of garnet.
It is suggested that it is an ancient gem that has caused suffering fo rall that have held it since the days of the elven kingdom in the hullack, an implication being that it was somehow invovled in that downfall. Noteably the gem was initially in a crown when first found.
A plan has been proposed to explore the hullack and find any elven ruins and tombs that might lead to discovery of more information of this gem.
I noticed also during the discussions that Ethyl was irritable and scratching herself, particularly her chest. I worry that she is already succumbing to the lure and evil of the gem...
