The Crown of Thorns Is the icon of the Blood Congregation of Mhaldor. As the name implies, it is a massive crown of thorns, twelve feet in diameter and made from a black metal of an unknown alloy, with wicked black spires serving as the thorns themselves. Electricity sparks between the thorns, coloured a deep crimson. The crown levitates above a large prism of black marble. The icon has been destroyed once in the past, and has been re-erected since then.
