Blood Perpetuated in Sand

## Location

Candelaria's Shop

The Door

Preserved blood with miraculous properties. With the passage of its bearer, new ledges are revealed, formerly invisible to the beholder's eyes. The Miracle is truly unfathomable, and no one knows the origin of the blood that swirls around the wearer's feet.

Acquired in the Brotherhood of the Silent Sorrow. Requires using the Key to the Chamber of the Eldest Brother, bought from Candelaria for  400 in Mercy Dreams

This item allows the Penitent One to turn floating red motes into platforms. See list below.

## Lore

"Take this bag and fill it with sand. Now imbue it with the blood spilling from these dreadful wounds, so it will turn crimson red. With it you will show the way through these dry lands to those who are yet to follow. Leave me, now. I want to say my prayers, for I will soon be joining the dry sap of these roots that painfully embrace Our Father..."
