Rings of Life and Void

The Rings of Life and Void are two legendary rings that make appearances throughout multiple fables and myths, each time being referred to by different names. They are simple gold bands, less powerful than a fully-prototyped Queen's Ring and far more obscure. According to myth, whenever one of the rings goes missing, the other will be miraculously found.

Ring of Life

First seen when Hussie proposed to Vriska, the Ring of Life is apparently capable of bringing back to life any ghost who wears it. Additionally, Aranea implies that it can keep a god tier immortal, even given a Heroic or Just death. Hussie loses it when Vriska punches him, and it is later seen with Tavros. He and John proceed to fight for some time over it, before Meenah throws her trident at John and he wakes up with the ring in hand. The last time it is seen is on the couch next to a sleeping John in the Prospitian battleship as he begins to disappear and proceed to appear throughout various times and locations in the game. However, when he later goes to retrieve it, the ring has gone missing. The ring is later found to be in Gamzee's possession, as he sleeps in Dave's fridge on the Prospitian Battleship, after which he delivered it to Aranea. Before killing her, the Condesce flips the ring off Aranea's finger. What happened to the ring after that is unspecified, but the Condesce most likely caught it.

The Ring of Life can pass between dream bubbles and Incipispheres (and likely universes as well) if it is held by a living player who wakes up or falls asleep, or out of the dream bubbles if it is used to revive a ghost, who will leave the dream bubbles upon resurrection.

It is currently unknown if a revived ghost can remain alive if the ring is removed, as Aranea was killed immediately after its removal, and proceeded to dematerialize. It is also unknown how immortal a ghost that wasn't a god tier would be if wearing it, and if they would react differently to its removal.

The Ring of Life has a strong connection to Horrorterrors, as they were responsible for the creation of the Dream bubbles and ghosts, which the ring would be useless without.

Ring of Void

Carries the power to turn its wearer invisible, and also apparently intangible, an ability that is confirmed to be a power of the ring itself. However, Roxy later uses these powers unaided. A carapacian wielding it can use the Red Miles, or become invisible. Her Imperious Condescension dethroned the Black Queen of the B2 session before the players entered The Medium and obtained this ring from her; the Condesce is unable to use any of the functions of the ring herself, but nonetheless kept it. She permits the Draconian Dignitary to wear it and use the Red Miles on Derse to try to kill Dirk, who was hiding deep within the planet. Later on, the Courtyard Droll gives this ring to Roxy, who escapes from jail with it. She later uses it to try to propose to Dirk while she is in Trickster Mode.  She lost this ring before trickster mode wears off. Shortly after, the Ring of Life was brought to the B2 Incipisphere by John.

It is notable that Jane was capable of seeing through the ring's effects while in Trickster Mode, and Trickster Jake could negate the ring's intangibility to use the what pumpkin on Roxy, implying that the Ring of Void's power is weaker than that of jujus (and presumably its counterpart as well). Its effects were also negated by Roxy, who was wearing it while in trickster mode.

Trivia

• Similar to how the Queen's Rings heavily reference the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the Rings of Life and Void themselves seem to be a reference to a quote spoken by Sauron to Frodo while he wears the One Ring: “There is no life in the void, only death.”
• The Rings can be thought to mirror Roxy and Jane; the Ring of Void originating from Derse where Roxy, a hero of Void, dreams. Meanwhile the female dreamer of the session for Derse's counterpart, Prospit, is Jane, a hero of Life.
