[Cross]

According to historians, only four total splinters of the True Cross have been confirmed, each located in major churches around the world. This was difficult to prove, as merchants in the Middle Ages often peddled regular splinters as part of the Cross to gullible peasants. About 98% of the entire Cross has yet to be identified.

It's honestly heartbreaking, seeing as the same people who sent these people to fight killed them for the trauma they received.
