The enigmatic land of Coia, still scarred by the cataclysm of the Shadow War, became the stage for a profound discovery. Artisans and priests, seeking to understand the continent's magical wellspring, unearthed fragments of the shattered Bukhara Spires that pulsed with an inherent divine energy. Recognizing their sacred potential, they began to embed these crystalline shards into religious icons crafted from precious wood or gleaming silver.
On 10 September 1, this specific holy symbol was brought into existence. Like thousands of others, it was created to serve as a conduit, channeling a user's profound faith through the latent magic held within its embedded spire fragment. While these symbols would eventually become common tools for clerics and paladins throughout Coia, the ultimate truth behind the Bukhara Spires themselves remained, and still remains, a profound mystery.
The symbol's journey through the ages is largely unrecorded, its many bearers and adventures lost to time. Yet, the devout whisper of deeper secrets, believing that certain symbols, containing fragments from the most ancient parts of the Spires, hold dormant powers, patiently awaiting a truly worthy soul to awaken them.
In recent times, this very symbol was dramatically rediscovered amidst the desolate ruins of Highborne Summit. It was found tightly clutched in the skeletal hand of a fallen demon, a grim testament to a fierce, forgotten conflict. Despite its association with such malevolent forces, the symbol itself bore no signs of corruption, its inherent divine essence apparently untouched.
The holy symbol is now back in circulation, its deep origins tied to the very source of Coia's magic. It presently awaits a worthy bearer, its full potential, including any dormant powers, poised to be awakened by a soul of true faith and unwavering devotion.
