Glowing Orb in Majula?

[RedRock_Blu3]

So I was playing Dark Souls 2 for the first time in forever and I noticed above the tunnel in Majula that leads to the rotunda there was a glowing soul-like orb. Has anyone ever heard anything about this, or is it just another of those Dark Souls 2 things that have no meaning?

that appears after you have defeated the old dragonslayer then exhausted the conversation with the priestess that you find above the dragonrider fight. Once she moves to Majula, it shows up

I wish there was some explanation to it. It clearly has something to do with Licia showing up there but how does Licia's presence (someone who has high faith) make this orb show up? There's no faith based spells that are used to light up places (we have Cast Light for that). I guess the devs thought that people wouldn't try to analyze it. Licia is for the most part evil as she wants to usurp US but we don't know enough about her sadly. There's so much lacking in regards to her and her character. I loved the quest line for the Way of the White and their clerics in Dark Souls 1.

I believe it's like a torch that Licia is supposed to have lit when she moved there. Since the rotunda was sealing off the Huntsman's Copse with no way through the first time the glowing orb was made to tell the player something was different.

Can someone try noclipping up to it or something? It just feels so much like a secret item, if it is I wonder what it could be...
