Dedicated to the faith of Desna, seven bell towers are believed to have existed at one point throughout the Inner Sea region. The seven towers represented the Seven Towers of Desna's palace and each tower housed a sacred Bell of Mercy. Pilgrimages to all seven towers were often undertaken by Desna's faithful. The seven bells are located in the western Mierani Forest of Varisia; the Hungry Mountains of Ustalav; the ruined city of Kokutang in the Sodden Lands; the eastern reaches of Tanglebriar in Kyonin; a hidden cove on Warlock Island in Cheliax; somewhere in the hills south of White Canyon in Katapesh; and in an old fort in the eastern Stonewilds in the Worldwound.1

Usage

The Bell of Mercy's magic works only once annually to sanctify the whole area within a radius of 120 feet around the bell. Amongst its powers, non-good or non-chaotic creatures who are not benevolent or are overly legalistic suffer a great deal of damage and evil creatures from other planes, without exceptional will strength, are banished back to their plane of origin.1

Destruction

A Bell of Mercy may be destroyed by transporting it to the Outer Rifts and there striking it with an adamantine unholy sword.1
