The '''Ring''' is
==Composition
The Ring consists of multiple members, as [[Wyndle]] refers to it as "they".{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} They view the [[Old Magic]]'s touch on [[Lift]] as a blessing from their "mother",{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} the same term that Wyndle uses for the [[Shard]] [[Cultivation]].{{book ref|sa3|117}}{{book ref|sa3|118}} The usual purpose of the Ring is not clear, but they appear to have authority among cultivationspren, as Wyndle was compelled to take an assignment at their request.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
==History==
Wyndle tells Lift that the cultivationspren decided to start trying to form new [[Nahel bond]]s after other spren such as [[Cryptic]]s and [[honorspren]] start to do so.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} They are not sure how exactly to accomplish this due to the length of time since the [[Recreance]],{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} and the Ring serves as a committee{{wob ref|1384}} that oversees the process.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
===Wyndle's Assignment===
Wyndle notes that he was happy living in Shadesmar when the Ring chose him to try and form a Nahel bond with someone in the [[Physical Realm]].{{book ref|sa2.5|1}} He is not happy about his mission and refers to it as an "atrocious duty".{{book ref|sa2.5|1}} The Ring was additionally responsible for the specific choice of Lift as a bond partner for Wyndle, a choice that he did not agree with.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} However, the Ring viewed Lift's youth and her experience with the Old Magic as positive traits in a candidate.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Wyndle notes that bonding with Lift was easier than expected,{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} speculating that the Old Magic has caused her to exist partially in the Cognitive Realm.{{book ref|sa2.5|4}} Wyndle later accepts the fact that he needed to be sent on assignment.{{book ref|sa2.5|14}}
