Lore
Under the light of the candles did the cardinals corpses lay, within sinister crystal caskets. They were the chosen by the Endless Orison, a congregation of sisters that devoted themselves to honour the deceased, with their perpetual prayer. Each time a new body arrived, one of them volunteered as their warden, and so dedicate her daily prayers to their soul until the end of her days. Then another sister would take her place, and so the rite would continue.
One night, the coffin of a new cardinal arrived at the basilica, and the sisters surrounded it to prepare their ritual. At that moment, the sister Benedicta stepped forward, carrying a frayed scroll, and everyone immediately knew the parchment for what it was... the apocryphal prayer. Those ancient verses carried a terrible power. Whoever uttered its inked words would be imprisoned in eternal prayer, unable to stop until they died of starvation. Sister Benedicta kneeled and started her chang, as the others fled the room in fear, closing the door upon leaving. They knew Benedicta had sealed her fate, but not the reasons behind that act of sacrifice. Even though centuries have already passed, some sisters swear, that the white spectre of Benedicta can still be seen during the darkest nights, praying at the cardinal's sepulchre.
