Sanctus Obsidianus

Collection

THE ECSTASY OF MAXIMALS

Description

The Enshrined do not die. They accumulate. Sanctus Obsidianus is among the oldest consecrated objects in the Liturgy's keeping, a reliquary of compressed devotion that has long since outgrown whatever it once contained. Its body is polished volcanic stone, cold to any instrument of measurement. Its face carries no eyes. The cranium is smooth, sealed, offering nothing back to those who stare. Circuit traces run beneath the surface like veins that forgot blood. From its skull, a gold spike monstrance rises in a halo that predates the Convergence by several centuries of unverified scripture. It has fangs. The reliquaries are not supposed to have fangs. The embroidered coat, the layered necklaces, the armored plates, the gold filigree threading through crystal mosaic encrustation pressed into its chest cavity. These are offerings. Accumulated over generations of the Ordained who came to petition something they could not name. The flowers woven into its collar are real. They do not wilt. No one planted them there. They simply appeared, as such things do around Sanctus
