Jammominoth, Ring (3.5e Equipment)

This page belongs to the Sarosian Campaign Setting

History

Jammominoth is a halfling boy who witnessed the birth of a deity and then burial of a dead god, after seeing the location of the gods mausoleum the boy was sought after by all manner of grave robber, eventually he was captured by dying worshipers of the lost god who sealed the child inside a ring, the bottling of the child's essence combined with his impossible knowledge made his prison into his new body, and over the years he has grown quite powerful in his shell.

It is said the only means of destroying Jammominoth is to convince him of telling you where the dead god is buried and place Jammominoth on the dead gods mummified hand. Though none of the wearers of Jammominoth have gotten him to divulge the information on the site, one skilled bard was able to trick Jammominoth with a riddle in which Jammominoth told the bard that the god was buried on the Prime Material Plane because he was a nature god who lost his realm, and the forest he was buried in...then Jammominoth never spoke again to the bard.

A bard once used a riddle to trick Jammominoth into telling the bard that "the tomb is in a forest, on the prime material plane, the god was a nature god and with him I was to be buried". However the bard is believed to have died shortly after Plane Shifting into the river styx.
