Silver

Summary

Silver is the sentient ring that controlled the unnamed female automaton body in Valenth Cardonal’s desert laboratory. Cardonal created the body as a vessel for her own soul; it was treated as a practice vessel and had spare parts stored nearby. After the party destroyed the Silver ring by throwing it into the Barrier, Cardonal transferred herself into and took control of the same automaton body.

Known Details

• The automaton body controlled by Silver had been in the desert laboratory for 601 years and without the mistress for 907 years.
• The automaton body served the party wine, explained the mistress’s death in a spell accident, and gave a tour of the laboratory while controlled by Silver.
• Silver tried to take or recover a golden band with a smashed ruby resembling Ennui’s ring.
• Her voice changed, she attacked doors with magic missile, and she said she wanted to get out after being trapped like she had trapped her friends.
• The laboratory contained spare parts for the automaton body, suggesting it had been a practice vessel rather than a true friend.
• Dirk threw the Silver ring into the Barrier, destroying its soul; Cardonal then transferred into and took over the same automaton body.
