ST. QUAKKO'S PROTECTION
St.
Quakko's Charm, more commonly known by its effect to successfully invoke St. Quakko's
Protection, is a means of being so astonishing in pugilism that even
though its wearer lost, the crowd would not think any less of the failure. Behind the scenes, intercession from the deceased
St. Quakko prevents
its holder from inheriting an ill-reputation as long
as they did not initiate the fight. The only downside was that the
purchasing of these sacred phylacteries was highly detested by the
superstitious commonfolk. No matter how well-renowned, new
owners of Quakko's Protection were immediately shunned and became
immensely unpopular, forcing fresh recognition to be built up
through an alternate throng of devoted fans.
These charms were equipped by almost all adventurers during the
Great Monster Uprising, especially by those who frequently battled in the
Bozbarland arena. In those days (which were apart of the
zorkmid inflation), St. Quakko's Protections sold for either Zm15000 or 2
coconuts a piece.
