Ring of doom sometimes appears in treasure troves

As rings of doom appear to be highly undesirable items, they don’t make sense as ‘treasure trove’ items and probably should not appear there.

Side-note: I’m not sure why rings of doom are in the game at all. In original ADOM, rings of doom served as a potential hazard for players who try on random rings without identifying them. In UADOM, items are identified upfront, so rings of doom can never pose a hazard in this way. Also, in original ADOM it could be useful to intentionally doom yourself in certain situations, e.g. to increase the frequency of wilderness encounters, which could aid in the completion of certain quests. In UADOM, I’m not aware of any useful purpose for being doomed. So why have the ring? Am I missing something?
