Umath does not have a Ring but a Camp. The Lightbringer's Ring has its origins in the myth of the First Ring. It is an _adaption_ of the First Ring. But the Lightbringer's Ring can and has been adapted for other purposes than the LBQ. For instance it can be found as the Clan Ring in some Clans.
I'm simply saying that in place of the LB ring, Kally used not the Traditional Ring but the myth of Umath's Companions. I don't see why the myth should be limited only to guarding campsites given that the First Ring and the Lightbringers Ring have proved themselves to be flexible.

I did not say it was the LBQ ring, I am saying that it is capable of being used in place of the LBQ ring on the LBQ quest.

IMO all Kallyr has to do is to use the Myth of the First Camp on the First Day of the SLBQ.
