Origin
Said to have been the beam that supported the hanging Martyrs of Gorkum in 1572. They were a group of 19 Dutch Catholic clerics and friars who were hanged by militant Dutch Calvinists during the 16th century religious wars in the Low Countries.
Effects
Not reciting the Lord’s Prayer after a limited time results in the victims’ neck being snapped. Reciting it from text will let the affected free, although every incorrect word will make the user feel a tight choking sensation.
