Vagrant Story Zippo
The Vagrant Story zippo has a strap. The original retail price was 15,000 yen.[2][3] It depicts the Blood-Sin, the inverted form of the Kildean Rood. In its Kildean form it was a tattoo on the priestess Müllenkamp. The inverted form is used by Sydney Losstarot, who has it tattooed on his back. The Iocus priesthood used the rood as their holy symbol. During the inquisitions led by the priesthood, they would brand heretics with the rood turned inverse (the "blade" facing down), and this symbol came to be known as the Blood-Sin. Even after the destruction of Lea Monde, Mullenkamp's legacy lived on in the form of the "Key" to Lea Monde's power, granting control over the Dark. The Blood-Sin was the physical symbol of this key.
