The Mandarin Rings have an unknown origin, but Chinese folklore suggest they originally were created by a mysterious jeweler in the days of ancient China. Many rulers, or mandarins, were given these rings, and used them to enforce their powers. However, they became corrupt with them, and battled eachother until eventually all of them were killed. The rings found other owners through the years, however, the greatest owner was the great Ghengis Kahn, possessing all ten rings.
