Item from Curse of Strahd by Tracy & Laura Hickman, Chris Perkins / Wizards of the Coast
A holy relic found in Castle Ravenloft's chapel that radiates protective divine energy — it can bolster the faith of those who carry it against the castle's horrors.
The Icon of Ravenloft is a small, ornate reliquary found in the chapel of Castle Ravenloft. Despite centuries in the heart of a vampire's lair, it radiates divine energy — a stubborn ember of holiness that even Strahd's presence has not extinguished. The icon provides protection against fear and the undead to those who carry it. It serves as a reminder that even in the darkest place in Barovia, something sacred persists. The chapel where it rests is perhaps the only room in Castle Ravenloft where the air doesn't feel thick with malice.
