Snerf's Folly is a ring in Pillars of Eternity.
Description
Once belonging to the wife of a noted animancer known as Snerf, this white-gold wedding ring is set with a central pink stone flanked by two small diamonds. The shine of the gems stands in stark contrast to the grimy, worn band. It is rumored that while his love was ill and on the brink of death, the desperate animancer performed a radical experiment to merge her soul with his.
According to most versions of the tale, her already weakened body was unable to withstand the strain of the binding. While this process extinguished the little life left in her body, it overwhelmed her soul, fragmenting it into oblivion. Overcome with guilt and despair, the once-great man lived out the last of his days in a svef-induced madness, holding onto the hope that he might somehow glimpse traces of her soul amongst his own pitiful reflection.
