Immaculate Bead[]
Simple bead, devoid of purpose. Its pristine surface has never been soiled by fervent fingers.
Bead Marked by Guilt[]
Bead that has absorbed theaves no room for doubt. Wearing it in your rosary prevents the accumulation of Guilt in the world, at least while the bead retains part of its purity.
Bead Tainted by Guilt[]
Bead that has absorbed the Guilt of its bearer on several occasions. In its nucleus there lies a black spiral, twisting and stirring in outbursts of wrath. Wearing it in your rosary prevents the accumulation of Guilt in the world, at least while the bead retains part of its purity.
Weight of True Guilt[]
Bead completely tainted that has absorbed the sins of its wearer until completely filled. Encloses a storm of Guilt, and rumbles with the echoes of past mistakes.
Statues of Confessors used to carry beads like this, reaping Guilt from repentant parishioners.
Acquired in the Graveyard of the Peaks, in the same room as the Confessor statue.
Equip the Immaculate Bead until it is engulfed in guilt after a few deaths. Allows entering the portals left by the destroyed Statues of Confessors, and is required for the true ending.
Lore
"I have something for you, and for you alone..." revealed the gipsy to a monk who had just stopped his donkey, as she uncovered a white stone possessing a strange beauty. "It comes from the darkness of the ocean floor. Contemplate its purity, look at its immaculate white, its virgin brilliance... What could be purer than this for your rosary, brother?"
