Artifacts

Steinring
The Steinring is a polished granite with a strange twist you can never quite follow, but the ring seems to have only a single side, no matter how far you follow it. This ring allows the bearer to pass through earth and natural rock with ease (though worked stone is impassible), as well as anyone who is touching the wearer. It requires the Deep Sense trait or a Navigation test to find your way.

The ring requires an Ob 2 Astrology test to align the ring with the stars, which allows the wearer to remember the world beyond the rock. Should the bearer ever pass up an opportunity to eat, the ring will lose its power.

Grausam

Those are all solid ideas. I can see them going so wrong or so right.
