“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

For time out of mind, the Vintish people have given rings to indicate promises, debts, or an exchange of favors. While originally a folk tradition, these days the practice is more common among the nobility, who use the rings as status symbols and calling cards.
The three common courtly rings are gold, silver, and iron. A gold ring is sent to someone of higher social rank, silver is given to someone you consider a peer, while iron is used for those who are beneath you. The possession of a specific person's ring carries great social significance, and they often are worn or displayed in elaborate and subtle forms of one-upmanship.
Now you can own these court rings yourself, courtesy of a collaboration between Badali Jewelry and Patrick Rothfuss! Choose from any of the 3 rings individually, or purchase the complete set - consisting of one solid iron ring, one silver-plated bronze ring, and one 24k gold-plated bronze ring.
Approximately size 11, they are not sizable and are intended for display only. They come packaged in a black drawstring pouch with a card of authenticity.

Patrick Rothfuss was born in Madison, Wisconsin to awesome parents. After nine years at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, he accidentally had enough credits to graduate with an English degree. Patrick then went to grad school. He’d rather not talk about it. In March 2007, The Name of the Wind was published and met with surprising success. In the years since, it has been translated into 30 languages, won all manner of awards, and become a bestseller in several countries. After a great deal of work and a few raised eyebrows from his patient editor, Wise Man’s Fear came out in March 2011, immediately hitting #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. When not working on the third book of the series, Pat plays with his kiddos, makes mead, and runs Worldbuilders, a geek-centered charity that has raised more than a million dollars for Heifer International.
