The Lotus/Absynthe Spirit Ring

The Lotus/Absynthe Spirit Ring - According to Homer’s “Odyssey”, the Lotus Tree bore a fruit that put those who ate it into a pleasant drowsiness. As the Greek empire expanded, the Gods hoped to protect the Earth’s natural wonders from man and their destructive habits. So, they encapsulated the spirit of the Lotus Tree into an emerald ring. This ring was kept hidden from mankind at Mount Olympus until its powers were needed to defend against the invading Darkbrands. The ring, and its ability to put those nearby into a temporary, catatonic sleep, was weaponized for a short time by the humans after The Despot War. Fearing mankind’s propensity for power and ambition, the forest dragons stole the relic and took it deep into the woods with them. Mankind’s legend claims that whenever someone feels the urge for a catnap, it is the work of the Absynthe Spirit Ring, and the Lotus Tree’s spirit is nearby.
