This article covers the person known as Saint Sarnax. For the monastery also known by that name, see St. Sarnax monastery.

Saint Sarnax the Great was a hero of the Pirate Siege and savior of the Yellow Death in Absalom's early history, and was also an early patriarch of the Church of Aroden.

Background

Sarnax is best known for wielding the legendary Azlanti artifact known as the Radiant Spark during the Pirate Siege of 430–536 AR, which he used to heal and resurrect hundreds afflicted by the Yellow Death.

Death

Sarnax is said to have been interred in a tomb within the Sanctum of Aroden, a lost chapel and vault of the Church of Aroden in an unknown location beneath Absalom. He is also believed to have been buried with the priceless Heart of Sarnax, a fist-sized ruby artifact.

Legacy

The St. Sarnax monastery, named for Sarnax and founded by the ancient order of the Knights of the Aeon Star, still stands in Escadar on the Isle of Erran.

The "Spark of Sarnax", which recounts Sarnax's use of the Radiant Spark during the Pirate Siege, is an ancient Arodenite hymn that has become a tavern song in the decades after Aroden's death.
