"Whatever it was, it might as well be scrap now."[/i][hr][sup][b]ORIGINS & CREATIONS:[/b] 
| The Voice's specific origins remain unknown, muddled by time and the gap between worlds. It is, by some measure, centuries old, and was forged under the watchful eye of scholars from another world where Indo-Persian and Mesoamerican cultures became the dominant economic and political force. While the details of this world have been lost to time, some have speculated that it was either depopulated in a global conflict that rampantly escalated before diplomacy could apply the brakes, or went into hiding after being devastated by a powerful apparition. |

[b]TYPE:[/b] 
| Channeler 	|

[b]LOCATION:[/b] 
| Unknown. It was last [i]confirmed[/i] in the hands of Das Sonnenrad, prior to the organisation's destruction. Since then, nothing concrete. A rumour suggests it may have been stolen among other artifacts in the power vacuum left by Kaiser Draeger's death, and several cases of [i]enthralled[/i] men have been cited across the Pacific Northwest, tied to various acts of violence and organised crime. |

[b]NOTABLE OWNERS:[/b] 
| [b]Das Sonnenrad:[/b] For a few years, the ring remained in Das Sonnerad's hands, although they had little joy in getting it to work. Kaiser Draeger himself was unimpressed with the ring and vocally expressed his dissatisfaction in the cost of its acquisition. |

[b]ABSTRACTION-GRANTING:[/b] 
| Yes |
[color=2e2c2c].............................................................................[/color][/sup][/center][/cell][cell]An unremarkable iron band with angular patterns wrought into its unpolished surface. Das Sonnenrad came to its possession at a not-insignificant cost in an expedition to acquire artifacts from a cache of explorers hailing from a world where Indo-Persian and Mesoamerican cultures had been the dominant force in contemporary politics. From various excerpts, the ring holds the power to enthrall the minds of men, living or dead, provided the ringbearer understands how to wield it.

As stories tell, Kaiser Draeger was [i]livid[/i] to learn that, at the cost of several agents and the cache's destruction, his organisation had acquired a "lump of mongrel scrap iron" and discarded the ring to the care of a subordinate after initial attempts at its use proved ineffective. Later, after Das Sonnenrad's destruction, rumours abounded that a former member had stolen it along with several other artifacts and had figured out [i]some[/i] of the ring's functions.
