True Cross

The True Cross is one of the most well known and widely sought after Holy Relics. It is the wooden cross upon which Christ Himself was crucified, buried in Golgotha and discovered three centuries later by Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine. Helen was herself a life-long Christian and her discovery of the True Cross heralded a golden age for the largely infamous sect of Christianity.
Events after Helen's discovery of the True Cross become blurred by historical accounts and during much of the medieval period the Cross as supposed to be in so many different splinters that Reformationists often remarked that Christ must have been crucified on a whole forest. 
The True Cross, even a piece of it, would girdle the holder with a halo of holy power, making them resistant to magicks. The Holy Cross would also act as the 9th Degree of the Order of Unknown, causing random miracles and healings to occur.
