"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
- – Acts 20:35
The Ring-Givers are one of Planescape's "planar sects", minor factions who have little influence in Sigil. They practice a form of ascetic poverty. They never buy or sell anything. Any money or material wealth that a ring-giver receives, they give away to strangers after a few days. They claim that karma will reward them for this behavior--and it does. Ring-givers always seem to be able get by either by relying on others to provide them with food and shelter, or making it themselves. The Fated see them as easy targets, but whenever someone steals from or mistreats a ring-giver, they always seem to get their comeuppance in the end.
The sect is rumored to have been started by the Movanic Deva Rule-of-Three, a servant of Tyr who wanders Sigil doing charity work. In 2e, before the events of Faction War, a human ring-giver called Jeremo the Natterer is petitioning the Hall of Speakers to recognize the sect as an official faction -- with himself as factol.
