The custom of granting rings is common to all Vintish people. There are several types of rings that folk can give each other, but they are separated into two groups: noble and common, the first for the nobility and the second for general citizens.
Noble Rings
It is common for all nobles to have the three main rings (Iron/Silver/Gold) with their name inscribed. Wooden rings only exist still because they are used in plays, and are given rarely (practically never).
| Material | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Iron | Given to someone of lower status | None |
| Gold | Given to someone of greater status | None |
| Silver | Given to someone of equal status | None |
| Wood | (Traditionally) Given to summon a servant
(Contemporarily) Given to show extreme derogatory hatred |
Originally given to servants, in modern times this ring
shows that the giver does not consider you human.[1] |
Common Rings
Traditionally, common rings were made from materials that people found close at hand.[2]
| Material | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grass | Courtship | Found in Bast’s room.[3] |
| Leather | Service | Found in Bast’s room.[3] |
| Horn | Enmity | Found in Bast’s room.[3] |
| Bone | Profound debt | Traditionally carved from the bone of
a deceased family member.[2] |
