Some cards and uniques are giving hints. The Lover card says:
I wanted to give you three things. I've given you my eternal love. I've sung to you my most beautiful song. I'd have given you the moon last, but it couldn't be found. I hope you'll accept this instead.

It is the scene that Daresso gave Merveil the Star of Wraeclast, which made of virtue gem and later corrupted her. It indicated the connection between moon and gem.

On Moonsorrow wand it says:
Cast into darkness And trapped for a thousand years, The lonely moon weeps

On the card The Lunaris Priestess, which dropped at lunaris temple, it is says:
Embrace the Light, Await the Morrow, No more Spite, And no more Sorrow.

The scene is a lunaris priestess holding a moon, which fires projectiles in a nova.

The cards can be redeemed to Sire of Shards, which says:
That which was broken may yet break.

the staff looks like a moon with some tears like projectiles around it.

And there is a Splinter of the Moon wand from Descent Champions race league, it says:
Into darkness, horror, madness... So goes the descent.

Also considering of vaal people calling virtue gems tears of Maji, it is very possible that Maji means the moon and tears of maji means splinters or shards of the moon, which are actually crystals. If this is true, then it seems that the moon exploded like a nova thousand of years ago for some reason. The moon crystals dropped on Wraeclast and caused chaos and corruption.


On the card Lingering Remnants, which redeems vaal temple map, it says:
Never dying, yet not living, Endlessly they wander beneath the harvest moon.

The scene is vaal people sacrificing human lifes under the blood moon. Vaal poeple knew the origins of gems, thus sacrifced human to the moon.

What’s intriguing about your post is mana sponge moonstone ring. To my knowledge it is an unfound item in Poe 1.

Right away in your post it says “I would have given you the moon but it couldn’t be found” probably an elude to the fact he wanted to give her the mana sponge moonstone ring.

The artwork also eludes to a stone version of the moon in someone’s hands. And when you turn in the card for the staff it says “what is broken can break further” a probable indication you have taken a bad action route of the quest and to repair it means starting over.

After about an hour of thought into it I concluded that the name “Mana sponge Moonstone ring” is an anagram and the only actual hint.

The best I can do after 15 minutes of anagram work is “gone maps an one moon string” I however didn’t play poe1 and don’t know anything about the lore.

Though I will add that the tail. End of the art does look like a map of different areas separated.

If it’s possible to get this item in poe1, the lore and reasoning behind how and why you get it is probably also embedded in the Poe 2 secret quest.

I realized Lunaris and Solaris are represented in Poe 2.

Also Finn is one of the old gods, the first ones. There is an argument for Renly being one as well. From una’s own admissions it seems she loves Finn and he has kept her by his side for a long time. She doesn’t seem to be a first one/old god.
