Relic (DTF)

Relics are objects with supernatural powers created through either the Lore of the Forge or the Lore of Contamination. Relics often combine the effects of several paths of Lore into one special effect, not unlike a ritual. They must be activated by a person through an act of will (Fallen have a much easier time activating relics, however, than others). Some relics can no longer be created, but others are still possible. As a general rule, more powerful relics require more exotic or spiritually significant materials.

There is a special, very rare class of relics that is sentient, because it has a demonic or mortal spirit trapped in the relic to activate and control it. Only a few Annunaki ever learned the combination of Lores required to make them, the most infamous among them being the Mummu Schatenkoji, who was also called the Ghostsmith.

A few well-known relics that can still be created or are new inventions are:


 * Plague Knives: Knives that poison when they cut.
 * Tesseract Generator: A spatial grenade that shatters spatial connections in a small area, trapping everybody inside a jumbled piece of reality that slowly heals over time.
 * The Cordial of Dagan: This flask imbues liquid put in it with healing properties.
 * Warriors of the Broken Ground: A cube of metal wires that can turn into one or more humanoid automata with impressive combat abilities.
