Origin[]
Originally taken from the Qumran Caves and imbued with the saltiness of the Dead Sea, this sculpture of the biblical King David carved out of Halite by Greek Orthodox monks during the Byzantine era. The monks of the era would use the sculpture to taint all the food during days of fasting, often overdoing it and nearly wiping whole communities in the monasteries.
Effects[]
When the statue touches any type of edible food, it will transmute it into solid salt when contacted by saliva.
Collection[]
It was given to Warehouse 5 after the statue fell into the water supply of the Saint George Monastery, tainting the water.
It was collected by Regent Anastagio Karras.
