The Cupped Hand Offertory
A smooth stone bowl carved in the shape of two cupped hands, used by Sister Cael to carry water from Saltreach Spring to the Salt-Pan Shrine each dawn.
Worn to a high polish by seven years of daily carrying. It is unremarkable to look at and holds about a pint; what it holds matters. Sister Cael fills it at dawn, walks the three miles to the shrine, pours it into the shrine's dry bowl, and walks back in time for the heat to be truly dangerous again. She has not missed a morning.
