Ring of the Demagogue

One of the 8 relics used to seal the lich king Kalshazzak Asymnetes a thousand years ago
Created by the goddess of romance, politics, and interpersonal relations (Ishtar/Aphrodite type figure)
Can be used to inspire groups of allies, or convert enemies to the cause, magically enhancing the persuasive power of the wielder to inhuman levels
Effect boosted when the speech given is true from the perspective of its user
When used against undead, is capable of briefly drawing upon the true souls of the deceased, countering their usual immunity to charm magic

Historical portrayal of its powers are completely fabricated - Rhille and her followers considered the danger of this ring as a political tool so great that it was best to cover up its existence entirely.
Possible location: the Abbey of Caelester, hidden within the hollowed out pommel of a minor magical sword that masquerades as one of the 8 relics.
