A gilded bronze ring with a cinnabar carnelian stone. This ring was the creation of the Third Age court wizard, Aldebaran. Aldebaran's master, King Mathidas, owned a magnificent rainbow parakeet, gifted to him by a neighbouring vassal lord. Apart from its beauty, the bird also praised the King in the most flattering terms. Upon discovering that the parakeet stole treasure at night, delivering it in secret to the vassal lord, the King ordered Aldebaran to arrange some suitable vengeance to the audacious vassal and put an end to the thefts, without hurting even a feather on the bird, whose flattery the King much enjoyed. Thus, Aldebaran created The Eye of the Taker. The ring puts a curse anyone claiming it without giving its previous owner anything in return. What became of the ring was was long a mystery, as neither news of it nor the rainbow parakeet ever reached the citadel of King Mathidas of the Third Age.
