The miracle of St Abthius, Ever-Lustrous: Abthius came to Dolmenwood at the command of King Thaldred II of Brackenwold. The Cold Prince had newly returned his frigid gaze to the mortal world, and Abthius—renowned for his fiery sermons— served as ambassador of the King. Gaining an audience with the fairy court, the saint proceeded to preach the virtues of the One True God and the host of angels. The fairies responded only with mocking laughter, and their liege pointed his crystal wand at the saint, casting a spell of ice about him. The saint’s radiant beauty melted the fey frost, and he turned his back on the Prince, damning the fairy to be vaporised in the flames of perdition. Patronages: Ambassadors, righteous vengeance, (courtly dances), (seamstresses), (springtime).
