Consul Ring

A signet-style metal ring worn on the right hand, its face engraved with the official insignia of the Traken Consuls. Worn by Proctor Neman as both a badge of office and loyalty to Melkur, the ring bears the weight of institutional authority. Characters interact with it through gestures of deference—Neman offers it as proof of his enforced allegiance, while Tremas snatches it back to symbolize the stripping of that authority. Its small size belies its outsized power in ritual and control.
