Saint Elna And The Book Of Depravity [exclusive] -

The Book of Depravity was never destroyed. After Elna’s execution (she asked to be burned while reading aloud from Leviticus), the book vanished. It now appears in the dreams of those who suppress a terrible truth about themselves. A paladin who secretly craves failure. A king who envies his own jester.

For seven nights, they held her eyes open over the pages. By the first night, she vomited blood. By the third, she clawed out her own halo (a symbolic act, leaving two scars behind her ears). By the seventh, the cultists were dead—not by divine wrath, but because Elna smiled at them.

On the night of her "ascension," the cell was found empty. There was no body—only the Book of Depravity, pulsing with a faint, sickly light. Themes in the Legend A paladin who secretly craves failure
