Imaginary items
Chi Rho Cross
Though the Chi Rho cross was an example of a real cross used by Christians during the 5th century, I put it here because this is my rendition of Ciarán’s cross.
Book of Carraig
This is my version of the Book of Carraig,
which holds the secrets of Ciarán’s priesthood. It's inlaid with gold, silver and bronze and studded with emeralds and sapphires. The
book is only to be viewed by those on Council
of Elders, under threat of death, and is kept
in the Cave of Rúin Arsa
