Grand Relics

The Grand Relics are seven items that are so strong their use could grossly upset the balance of power in the world, causing massive war and turmoil. Every kingdom and religious community once sought to control relics until the memory of the relics was erased by the Voidfish, under control of the Bureau of Balance. The bureau now seeks to destroy the relics.

The are seven Grand Relics. The relics were (allegedly) created by band of wizards, warlocks and other magic users, collectively known as The Red Robes, who refused the idea that experiments should have limits.

Thus far, each relic that the PCs have encountered (with the exception of the Phoenix Fire Gauntlet) has displayed a degree of sentience, and all of them, Gauntlet included, attempt to either corrupt or persuade anyone who retrieves them into using their powers. During "The Eleventh Hour," the Temporal Chalice — through June — revealed that each Grand Relic contains an aspect of ancient god. It is currently unknown if this is why The Red Robes created the relics, or simply the nature of their construction.
