# The Emberglass

> *“It has remained here for centuries. Quiet. Safe. As it should be.”*

**The Emberglass** is a sacred relic associated with [Lathander](/link/105) and long kept by the [Lathander monastery in the Pale](/link/90). It is notable both for its religious importance and for unusual healing effects reported in its presence.

### Lore

Accounts describe the Emberglass as a small, perfectly polished six-sided shard marked with fine unfamiliar engravings. Gold-like filaments run through its interior, and a steady light can appear to move beneath its surface.

For most of its known history, however, the Emberglass was not displayed as a weapon or public miracle. It remained a quiet object of custody in a dwindling monastery, tended as part of religious routine while generations passed around it.

For generations the relic remained under monastic custody in [the Pale](/link/86), where it was treated as a sacred trust rather than ordinary property. The monastery and the wider Church came to believe that [Lathander](/link/105) intended the relic to pass toward Lady Elspeth Wilthorne as part of a pilgrimage whose route and purpose are not publicly settled.

Witnesses have associated the Emberglass with warmth, rapid wound closure, and unusual effects on people suffering from the [Rotmire Blight](/link/3). Its limits remain poorly understood outside those who have handled it directly.

### Discovery

During the campaign, [Greymire](/link/10) operator **Jorick Vance** gave the party the job that sent them into [the Pale](/link/86) in search of the Emberglass. The party recovered it from the [Lathander monastery](/link/90) after its elderly caretaker willingly released it in accordance with the religious instruction he believed he had received.

The truth behind that instruction remains a matter of belief rather than established public fact.
