The Lantern of St. Jordan
Oh, Wandering Pilgrim! You who have walked in the footsteps of the Creator And all who have come before Find your rest in this humble chapel Where the sacred bones lie of our guide and patron. And when your journey calls you on take with you a light, blessed with holy waters and touched to the lantern of the fallen Saint that you may walk with him on our everlasting pilgrimage.
A Light in the Darkness
History
The Lantern of St. Jordan is a treasure and a relic that the saint carried on his journeys spreading the ministry of the Church of the Creator. There are few records as to the source of the Lantern itself, although common myth is that he recieved it when he lead the refugees of Dalreme out of Linder. It hung constantly on his belt ever since, traveling with him as he wandered.
St. Jordan's final resting place is the Chapel de [name], nestled in the heart of what is now the Eternal Battlefield. His lantern was set in a reliquary above the casket holding his remains. It was only after his death that it was discovered that the lantern could not be doused, extinguished, or covered. When the Chapel was ransacked in the early 1000s, The Lantern and the Relics of St. Jordan remained untouched.
Even today, when The Chapel stands in the middle of an abandoned wastleand, determined pilgrims will take the Pilgrim's Walk to find the lonely chapel, to leave flowers and tend to the saints' shrine. And still, the lantern flickers on.
