I really enjoyed the lore of this world. It was very much inspired by Catholicism, which I grew up with. Saints are those who fought against the undead and imbued relics with power. The relics are wielded by various clergy to achieve magical effects. The vendors hawking fake souvenirs were also on point.
Graphic: Self harm and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Child abuse, Confinement, and Self harm
