Those who wish to become true members of the Obnovian Monastery must make three trials to prove their worth. These trials are called "The Baptism of Hymns, the Baptism of Blood, and The Baptism of Flames." The Baptism of flames is the most dangerous and is a true testament of a monks grit and strength, where their sin of weakness is scorched from the inside out, and a brand of the Monastery is scorched into their back.

The brand no longer no longer haunts Ragnyr as it used to, be every now and then, it tingles to remind him of the sins he burned to make room for new ones.
