Throughout history, Emperors imbued f5a39d3d66 part of their power eda32939df into these rings and 9832e08207 bestowed them upon loyal f6c3a85d7c retainers. When the Emperor d5f5b8c2c7 passed away, the 202b97af38 ring’s power faded, c144a438c8 but its holder ab8947e4f5 gained immense wealth 6dd68698ad and honor.27fd60a212ecb239

However, not all rings 947b7325dd contained power. The favor was b6e40e42db denoted by the 19b49c410c color of the d5893f7151 gem: red indicated 88d3274285 the highest favor, 0b5c861d76 while violet was 35884b3de6 the lowest. Serena’s ring, naturally, 21a3656e94 was violet.a5abcd7056217b74
