My group has acquired the magic ring from the final large monster of Rivers Run Red. They want to cast Legend Lore on said ring.
This is an opportunity, I think, to foreshadow some of the latter books' characters that many GMs have noted (on podcasts and in the forums) seem tacked on.
The book provides:
I have provided this much on the ring, not much, really.
So, if you had your druthers, how would you handle legend lore on the ring?
My ideas:
Reveal the name of the creator? It is ultimately a meaningless word in and of itself, but I doubt that the PCs would then just let that name go. The owlbear sacked their city: I'd be ticked and want to find out more, thus distracting from Varnhold.
Go technical? Steer them towards the fey, provide enough to know that a powerful otherworldly creature created it to cause havoc upon the River Kingdoms, but no names, and then blow the ring up.
Go artsy? Give them images/emotions that they could try to decipher, but not reveal any words at all, and then blow the ring up.
Something else, something I'm missing, or a different approach, would be appreciated.
