Relics:
A Relic is a rare and unique object housing significat power, whether it be abilities, magic, enchantments, energies, or some unknown influence or capacity. Only the surface is now known about the least of the Relics discovered, and more will be added to each Relic as information comes to light.
Relics were created during the Age of Enlightenment.
Who created them, and how, is a mystery to us all. This mystery intrigues us to ever and constantly delve into the learning of these highly coveted and mysterious artifacts of power.
Although there are a few exceptions, Relics are, as far as we know at this time, a one-of-a-kind item. If you roll up a Relic that has already been found, ignore that result and roll again. See: "Note" within each Relic to know if there is only one, or if there are more.
Roll on the following chart to see what relic has been found:
%Roll: Relic types:

51-75: Amulets
76-00: Armors
26-50: Chains
26-00: Rods
Rod of Communal Work - exact the essense work effort of what ppl would have to do if they worked... but instead would give the holder the energy and benefits of having to work, yet do not have to work in order for the power that gathers in this item.

The general matter of Relics:
The finding of a Relic is of great significance, for each one holds multiple powers, some of which are tapped into on occaision. In one moment's time, a power can surface, be recognized, understood, even utilized by the hand or hands that wield it, only to fade into mystery once again.
Daunting, elusive and dangerous are the nature of some Relics. We have lost some good scholars who delved too deep into some of these accurses, blessed, items. Some of the greatest minds in Utaemia have labeled certain Relics as "frustrating". This is the greatest source of comfort for we who remain to study such embodiments of power and influential presence.
Some of our brothers and sisters have come to the conclusion that certains Relics are alive and aware; living souls. We do not know is this be the case, though a few of our comrades hold to this idea. It may be the case that a Relic attracts a life form that houses itself within its physical structure, and so we understand why some might assume a Relic to be a soul. Simply put, we do not have evidence of an object, a Relic, being a sentient entity independant of thought and action.
Since, we, ourselves, the greatest scholars of these most ancient of power items, do not fully understand the unique and all encompassing purposes of these Relics, we must admit to admit that we cannot say they do not have life in and of themselves.
The argument has been presented that we have life in and of our own selves, thus why not an object. This study has been sent to the high king of Wardenoth Keep for further study in the hopes of there being someone who has a deep and seeing eye.
And so to make the assumption that a Relic has life of its own, or does not, makes a fool for lacking wisdom. It suffices us to say we do not know. We hope to know, and are growing in the power of knowledge year by year, concerning these highly curious items. It is a worthy path we gladly walk.
Signed,
Mezanaris Essamin

It has been 35 years since we presented our information to the High King.
As of yet, there has been no word back specific to further enlightenment on this subject.
We have recieved communication from Wardenoth Citadel on this subject, yet their scholoars seem as curious and daunted in this study as we are.
There are many Artifacts within the Deep World we either do not fully understand, or are simply ignorant of.
