Artifact · Miraculous holy draught (consumable)Its story
A thumb-long crystal vial holds a single drop of liquid gold that shines like dawn through stained glass. Its stopper is carved from pale wood and wrapped in fine silver wire, with a tiny bell-shaped charm that rings softly when someone nearby is suffering. When opened, the vial releases a clear, warm note like the first breath of a hymn. The drop can be swallowed or poured onto the brow; either way, it blooms into a luminous halo of white and gold before sinking into the recipient's skin.
Lore
Known as Saelliel's Last Verse, the draught is said to hold the final note of a song that was never written down. Its light does not judge the wounded or ask how they came to suffer. In many places, people ring a small bell and sing a verse of welcome before using one, honoring Saelliel's belief that being received with kindness can be its own kind of healing.
History
Saelliel made the first vial after hearing a roadside lament from a feverish traveler who feared becoming a burden to the people they loved. She shaped the remedy from the comfort of shared song rather than the authority of her celestial ancestry. Since then, she has carried and gifted such vials on her travels, often leaving them with healers, pilgrims, and those whose suffering has gone unseen.
