Ring of the Phantom Carriage

Ring, uncommon

This spinning ring has a fixed metal carriage at its top, beneath which the spinning outer ring runs. The outer ring is dotted with tiny imperfections to make it look like a dirt road. While wearing the ring, you can use an action to clap your hands and speak its command word. When you do, a Large, quasi-real carriage appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you. The carriage is 12 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 7 feet tall (without including the height of its wheels). The carriage is see-through and can comfortably fit up to four Medium creatures (or six if they squeeze). The carriage doesn't provide any protection.

A pair of phantom steeds also appear before the carriage, taking up the necessary space as needed: the steeds are tethered to the carriage with a set of reins shared between them. A steed disappears early if it takes any damage or if it's removed from the carriage; the carriage also disappears early if neither steed is present. With both steeds present, the carriage has a speed of 100 feet and can travel 10 miles in an hour, or 15 miles at a fast pace; the speed is halved with only one steed.

The carriage and steeds remain for up to 4 hours. When the effect ends, they gradually fade, giving the riders 1 minute to dismount. While wearing the ring, you can use an action to clap your hands together and speak the command word again, ending the effect early. If there isn't enough space for the carriage and at least one steed to appear when the ring is used, the action is wasted, but the property can be used again. Once the ring has been used to summon the carriage, it can't be used again until the next dawn.

While the carriage persists, a pair of minuscule, illusory phantom steeds race along the outer ring, causing the road-like ring to spin beneath the carriage and appear as though it were moving.

The original carriage owner died of dysentery.
