Raphah's amulet symbolizes faith and hope. Despite his trials, Raphah's confidence remains unwavering, and the amulet is a physical manifestation of this steadfast faith.
Demurral's house
Demurral's house serves as an allegory for his soul. The dark, cold, and unwelcoming atmosphere mirrors Demurral's inner corruption and his abandonment of true faith.
