In Ulfus Annulos
The In Ulfus Annulos or The Wolf Rings are four rings that are required to free the Primordial Starrk.
History[]
The rings were created by Gaia over 4,000 years ago. These rings were used by members of the Original Coven to seal Starrk sometime during 1,500 BC for killing the Original witch Gaia. Gaia was also the one who created the rings as a weapon that can be used against the supernatural. Each ring holds great power that a witch can draw power from, the power in the rings are greater than the power a witch can recieve from a Full Moon or comet. Each ring has its own unique ability that it can use and together the rings can be used to either seal or free a powerful immortal creature. Overuse of the rings would result in a witches death. But normal humans could use the rings as well but will die far much quicker. Descendants of the Original Coven would pass down a ring to the most powerful member of their family so that it can be protected. The Primordial Hybrid Witch Mal-El is currently after the rings and believes that one of them may be hidden in Mystic Falls.
Characteristics[]
Each ring has an inscription that activates its power. If the rings are brought together and each inscription is then said, the rings full power can be used.
