Well, the ring's haunted. Not actively, I would assume, but I wouldn't know for certain where it incinerates the unworthy who touch it. Some hundred-odd spirits of his forebears, several of which have miserable tempers and one of which is a terrible chess player.
it looked like it was trying to burn noct too, i saw it on his hand. you're saying its worse if it's not him that wears it? all he said was it "didnt like" when other people had it. what connects noct to that ring that he's the only one allowed to wear it exactly
[Vague asshole, but Wei Wuxian drew his own conclusion on that.]
and what about the weapons? they has something to do with the ring and with lucis dont they?
because he's so caught up in helping sam that he'll mess himself up as much as it takes for someone else's sake. that's just how he is
[And how Wei Wuxian was. He didn't have a leg to stand on. He didn't have a Golden Core because he and Noctis are the same in that regard. They would do anything for their family...]
To start with, the ring contains the power of the line of Lucis--that is, it literally contains the line of Lucis. They judge all who wear the ring, and if one is not of the bloodline, then the end result is not pretty to say the least. The kingdom's founder was a terribly unflinching rat bastard with a love of immolation, you see.
As for its function, it is hardly a simple thing even for the worthy. Magic for us carries a heavy cost; body and soul, primarily. I wouldn't know just what it demands of him for the average use, but those who wear the ring are historically not very long-lived.
I don't remember the exact verse, mostly because it was stupid and something like ten lines long. But the idea is very simple; the Chosen King of Light is meant to gather the power of his forebears and their weapons, forge covenants with the gods, and dispel eternal darkness from the world at the cost of his own life.
[More concerning to House Earth Danmei: Wei Ying is now completely silent.
As the sheer gravity of what Noct had to deal with in his past life really started setting in. How it connects to the ring. How it most likely connects to the weapons which he will have confirmed as soon as he collects himself.
It's righteous anger for his stupid ass friend fueling him. After a delay:]
The weapons he has in his hammerspace are the weapons he was supposed to collect to dispel that darkness aren't they? Are they another factor in why the lifespans of the line of Lucis so short?
[Why did Wei Wuxian have to be right when he didn't want to be?]
All of this is news to me. Of course he kept it to himself.
Can you share anything else about this whole thing? Think of it as more ammo against Noct.
[Those two have a weird relationship but information gathering is as much about bartering and Ardyn is encouraging this endeavor of white boy beat down.]
I'm afraid I know less about the royal arms specifically, and that is all I can really say I know directly of the ring. The prophecy, however, I can elaborate a little further.
Our past lives' home world was governed by a hexatheon, and at its peak was the Draconian, Bahamut. He orchestrated it all from the very founding of the kingdom, through all hundred-something generations straight to Noctis. The darkness from which the world needed delivering--well, I honestly do not know where it originated from, but the form it took was his responsibility as well.
[This Bahamut better think twice before showing his face in this world ever, if that's the case. If many a king from the line of Lucis has suffered from Bahamut's plotting that's a great way to piss Wei Wuxian off.]
So it's a route Bahamut crafted from the very start. Sounds arrogant to me.
[But he's still mad at (and for) Noct now, so.]
I think I have enough to throw in his face right now. Thanks for that. (◕‿◕)

hey, i've got a question
do you know anything about the weapons noct keeps in his hammerspace? or that weird ring he wears sometimes that sounds like it's full of ghosts?
no subject
Of course I do, and of course it is. What about them?
no subject
noct said something about the kings of lucis when i told him i sensed something from it
and caleb mentioned noct having weapons in his closet that could kill him if he uses them
i know if i ask him about it he wont tell me anything and caleb doesnt know anything else to tell me
but you know about them right? what are they exactly. the weapons and the ring.
no subject
[like, did he really not tell y'all this?]
no subject
[Vague asshole, but Wei Wuxian drew his own conclusion on that.]
and what about the weapons? they has something to do with the ring and with lucis dont they?

That did explain why it shouldn't be worn by others, it was a matter of bloodline. But the matter of bloodline was the problem as well.]
So, it's a rapid path for people in the line of Lucis who hold the ring to becoming one of those many souls within it.
