Description:

This ring belonged to the God of All That Is Secret, the Dark One, One Whose Name Can Not Be Wishpered, Vecna.

King Brotos of the Alexandria the Beauty had a hobby of seeking his subjects secrets. However, as a king, he was always heavily guarded and watched, he never had a chance to pratice this interest in reality.

The troubled king then prayed to Vecna, God of All That Is Secret, asking to grant him an artifact that would fullfill his will, in return, King Brotos prayed :" You can have any treasure I have."

Vecna was truely offended by King Brotos' offer. Because Vecna is a god associated with evil, knowledge and magic, what of treasure any use to him? To punish this foolish king, Vecna then granted the king a special ring, Vecna's Ring of Invisibility, and told King Brotos the ring can conceal him from mortals' eyes, therefore, he will have the power to listen to any secret conversation, read any secret note, the possibility is infinite!

King Brotos was truely pleased, he immediatly put on the ring and went out his court yard...

Stats: (cursed)
Type: ring
Special:
only cloths are invisibled

That one is a transformation of an old children's tale... The Original story was a king that had immense wealth and he wanted something unique to wear so his subjects could adimirer him. One day a merchant arrived an sold the king invisible clothing telling the king that it was a unique item. The King bought the clothing and asked his advisers how he looked. The advisers where so afraid of the king they(or where gay) said he looked marvalous. So the king walk through the town with his guards to show off his new clothing people being afraid of being be-headed by the king said nothing an pretended to like the King's new clothing.

Until A Diplomat from a neibouring country saw the king an Told the king he was walking around with no clothes on. The population laughed as the king realised he had been had.

PS: Pointless story with a moral, I just want a better count and don't feel like going bump, bump *L*

You mean "The Emperor's New Clothes". I remember that story. If it makes clothes invisible, is the ring itself still visible?

if you actually wanted to make this though you would have to make the ring turn the whole character invisible, it isnt possible to just makes bits invisible. and then there wouldn't be any poin to this item.
