Her Relic
Melisandre came to possess the blessed relic—a fragment of bone or artifact believed to have belonged to a revered saint or martyr—through an act of divine providence and the guidance of her mentors within The Priory of Eternal Rest.
Years ago, during her rigorous training and initiation into the priesthood, Melisandre embarked on a pilgrimage to a distant monastery known for its sacred relics and revered relics. There, she underwent trials of faith and devotion, seeking enlightenment and the blessings of her deity.
During her pilgrimage, Melisandre was drawn to a hidden chamber within the monastery, where the relics of saints were housed under the watchful gaze of the monastery's elders. As she knelt in prayer before the relics, humbly seeking guidance and strength for her journey, she experienced a profound sense of connection to the divine.
In a moment of clarity, Melisandre was guided by an inner voice—a whisper of divine inspiration—that led her to a particular relic, a fragment of bone believed to have once belonged to a saint renowned for their miracles and acts of compassion.
Recognizing the significance of the relic and feeling a deep resonance with its spiritual power, Melisandre was granted permission by the monastery's elders to carry the relic with her as a token of divine favor and protection on her journey.
Since then, the relic has remained a cherished companion and source of strength for Melisandre, its presence serving as a tangible reminder of her unwavering faith and the miraculous blessings bestowed upon her by her deity.
