This dagger is intricately worked with religious scenes from a Lawful and Good religion, depicting epic tales of self-sacrifice. It is used in a specific ritual within the religion to confer a great blessing upon a place or community, wherein a member of the church volunteers to be sacrificed, in order to cleanse the community. This act is done with the permission and assistance of the community, who offer the sacrifice food, shelter, and any other things which they require, for the year leading up to their death. The sacrifice ritual is a time of great joy for the community, wherein the sacrifice joyously recounts their hospitality at the hands of the community, and reaffirms their oath to take on the failings and afflictions of the community. It culminates in their death using this blade, and grants all members of the community present the benefits of either Atonement, Cure Disease, or Aid, as befits their needs. Hooks: * The PCs may hear of a community practicing human sacrifice, and go to investigate them. * The PCs may need the effect of one of these spells, and may wish to offer something to the chosen sacrifice, in order to be counted as part of the community. * Someone the PCs need or like volunteers to be the sacrifice, and the PCs may need to intervene to save them, leaving others in the community to suffer.
