The Miracles of Redemption

Lore & Background

Redemption is not given freely; it must be carved out of flesh and bone. Those who wield these Miracles often bear the weight of their sins in every strike they land. The Miracles themselves vary in form—some heal, others destroy—but all share the ultimate goal of liberating Candelaria from its spiritual decay.

Reader's Guide

In Candelaria, Miracles function as both gameplay mechanics and deep lore elements. They represent the faith of the Penitent One, allowing traversal through impossible terrain or combat against corrupted abominations.

These powers are often tied to specific locations or relics found throughout the game world. Collecting them signifies progress in the quest for redemption, though each comes with a cost in souls or health.

Theologically, they suggest that pain is the currency of divinity here. The more one suffers and endures, the closer they come to breaking the Curse that plagues their homeland.
