The Ring of Winter novel is #5 in the Harper series - probably a difficult find. There's also a choose-your-own-adventure book in the D&D Endless Quest series called Into the Jungle that deals with Artus Cimber and the Ring of Winter in Chult.

I read Ring of Winter! It's a good book, proper adventure story akin to King Solomon's Lost Mines...only problem is it takes SIX CHAPTERS to get to Chult. But once you get there you get a lot of cool stuff about Chult. How the natives live there, their relationship with the dinosaurs, the Barea and Ras Nsi. A good book, I do recommend it.

I really wish there were more artifacts/sentient items that *aren't* evil. I understand the fact that more evil forces, devils/demons/evil gods/etc, have a bit more of a reason to leave these things laying around in the material plains to collect souls and whatnot. But you'd think the forces of good would try their damndest to stay on some sort of equal footing

Some of your sources got it wrong or omitted a bunch of stuff. It's been a while since I read the ring of winter but I remember a bunch of things surrounding the history of the ring didn't happen that way. Like Rayburton wasn't the one who had the ring and that story about him using it was actually about someone else who's trail he followed to Chult in a similar way to Artus. He was actually just an explorer chasing it like Artus, hence why they got along well, but gave it up when he became a bare and over time his story got mixed with the other guy who actually brought it to Chult. I may be wrong about that and it was Rayburton the whole time, but the ring was actually given to the king of Mezro to protect, by whoever the person in the story is about because he couldn't handle the evil, but thinking a paladin king could. Also the king eventually used it, because he fell out of favor with Ubtao for some unclear reason and lost his longevity. The king gives it up to Artus in the end of the book to save the city. Also side note, Artus's travelling companion Hydel Pontifax was a noble but he was a wizard so the knight depiction was not the best choice.

@@testtest648 It takes place AFTER Ring of Winter, it's closer to 5e DnD current timeline. It's a good book for fauna and flora in Chult, the author did a good job describing just how hellish the jungle is. It also immediately starts you off at Chult with flashbacks taking you back to mainland Faerun. They also delve into the Albino Dwarves, something Ring of Winter didn't do at all...but the problem is there is no mention of Mezro or any of the events that happend in it. No Batiri Goblins either. However it reads/listens very well, the main characters are amazing and their banter top notch and it will give you more ideas about Chult. Deffo worth a read.
