- In the prologue of The Ruby Knight there is a part concerning the
- the original Sparhawk and Antor the king. It goes on to describe how
- after a battle a hooded Styric women tended them and gave them a pair
- of rings which came to symbolize their friendship. "Tradition has it
- that the oval stones set in the rings were as pale as diamond when the
- two recieved them, but that their mingled blood permanently stained the
- stones, and the appear to this day to be deep red rubies."
