Potential Relics

As presented, here are some potential Relics that can be used, sorted by
Pantheon.

Rank One

Ceol ar an Anam - ●
A birthday gift from her father before he left, these headphones are some of
Madeline’s prized possessions.
● = Allows her to effortlessly mimic any sound she hears.

Tattooed Feet - ●
While the Cuneiform alphabet was primarily used to keep records of taxation, laws,
and receipt of sales by the Empires which used it, Samuel’s feet have been tattooed
with records of his multiple victories in different running events from school and
University. The power in the first written language leaves Samuel fast, faster then he
has any right to be, even as a Scion.
● = Removes the cost of Faster than Thought.

Glory-Gold Hair - ●
The first at the Battle of the Wyre to spy the death throes of his brother Apollo was
Charles. The light that lit up the Underworlds bleached the hair of the Olympian
bastard gold like the dying sun’s rays.
● = Channels Sun.

Musty Book - ●
An early illuminated manuscript, without the layers of gold and jewels that the
others tend to have, likely in an attempt to make it look less interesting to the Norse
raiders of the island, was the third object given to Bran. The words on the pages are
almost painful to read, and seemingly try to escape from the page when one isn’t
looking, shifting around and changing wording slightly. But, when Bran forces himself
to read from a page, he can discern something of the coming trials.
● = Channels Prophecy.

The Gift - ●
This beautifully crafted knife was originally carried by Leonard and has taken many
lives before the two met. The blade has spilled both mortal and divine blood including
Jack’s own which has only fueled the blade. Secrets woven within that power of
blood have allowed Jack to better see the world around him and some ahead of him.
● = Channels Mystery.

Self Destruction - ●
A finely crafted desert eagle that is the same weapon the Scion used to kill
himself. The fact that he’s still alive says more than it should. On the inside are runes
carved in ancient Greek, over the magazine and any place the Scion could get in a
word or two.
● = Unlimited Ammunition.

Soiléire - ●
Found on a river bank during one camping trip, Madeline plucked this luck stone
from the waters and strung it upon a leather necklace. She carries it wherever she
goes.
● = Channels Moon.

Codex Tablet - ●
An oddly modern gift among Alan’s many more historical ones, this tablet PC is
incredibly sophisticated, but it includes ancient knowledge, stored by Alan’s parents
from the creation of the universe.
● = Channels Artistry.

Greek Machaira - ●
A gift from the hand of Hecate, little was told of whether this blade had any
particularly notable history. What is obvious is that it’s sharp, weighted well for
Heather’s hand, and grants her access to a good chunk of her divine heritage.
● = Channels Magic.

Map of the Hidden Ways - ●

The second gift from her mother, the Map remains as much a mystery as the
machaira. It definitely shows something, but the lines are blurry and indistinct, even
to her trained eye. It can, however, serve to get her where she needs to be going
through the powers of a Psychopomp.
● = Channels Psychopomp.

Tennur við Dýr - ●

Rick’s weapon may be dwarf make, but its ammo comes from Tyr’s forge. These
bullets are tipped by the fangs of a son of Garm that the God of War slew in the past.
And like the rage of that beast, once Rick’s gun is loaded with these its ammo seems
endless.
● = Unlimited Ammunition.

Rank Two

Choimeádaí ar Chuimhne - ●●
She carries this notebook around everywhere in order to make sure she never
leaves an inspiration unwritten. It serves as journal, planner, inspiration, and
homework keeper.
● = Channels Health.
● = Channels Artistry.

Gab Cloch - ●●
A piece of the Blarney Stone that was ‘liberated’ by Rory when he went to Blarney
Castle. Over the years, it became smooth from constant time in his pocket, and being
rubbed while he was thinking.
●● = Reduces the cost of Boys will be Boys by two legend.

Manannan’s Ledger - ●●
While Rhiannon is never going to be a proper Death goddess, she is willing to help
her father out wherever he needs it. If that means scouring the waters for the dead
lost in the battle against Lir and marking them down, or if it means keeping up-to-date
on the horse husbandry at the ranch; Rhiannon’s happy to help.
● = Channels Death.
 ● = Channels Animal.

Trinity Telecom Phone - ●●

A phone from an obscure and tiny Irish Telecom company was given to Kevin the
first time he started his tutoring under ‘Michael’, and he used it to contact him as he
worked his way through school. Even when the phone has no bars, and it is still
dripping wet from being dropped in a sewer, he can always manage to call his friend,
and his foster father. The fact that he doesn’t get charged for calls to the two has
saved him thousands with Miach.
●● = Contacts Miach, and Donn.

Jade Pendant - ●●
Grateful for the volume of blood Ahava sacrificed in his name, Tlaloc sent this
small jade pendant imbued with a fragment of divine power to her when she rose to
the level of Demigoddess. And though they’re not powers Ahava has tapped quite
yet, the pendant will make it easier for her to gain a measure of influence over plants
and wildlife.
● = Channels Animal.
● = Channels Fertility.

Twin Guardians - ●●
After Set saw how well his daughter handled firearms and not melee weapons he
commissioned Ptah to craft fine handguns that would be able to handle the rigors of
Alicia’s travels. Not that he was keeping tabs on her or anything.
● = Infinite Ammunition.
● = -1 Speed.

Muðr við Dýr - ●●

Human’s don’t know anything about building a decent weapon, at least if you ask a
dwarf. And with this powerful handgun they’ve set out to prove it. The range is
astounding in his hands, despite the short barrel, as good as any hunting rifle. And it
seems to have an uncanny ability to ricochet bullets off of various surfaces to find
their target.
● = Removes the cost of Crack Shot.
● = Removes the cost of Ricochet Symphony.

Falinn Brynja - ●●
This compression shirt was crafted by dwarven hands, and careful examination
shows Elder Futhark runes in the weave. They reinforce the fabric, already sturdy on
its own, to protect just as well as any kevlar vest ever could. As an added benefit, so
long as he wears it beneath them it causes any clothes he puts on to fit as though
tailored to him.
● = Functions as a Bulletproof Vest.
● = Causes all clothes to fit him.

Rank Three

Bow of the Prince - ●●●

The ancient bow wielded by the foolish son of Priam who led his family and
kingdom to ruin and death has slowly changed over the years. No longer does Paris’
legend hold the greatest sway over the weapon, and the new prince, the brother of
his ‘prize’ Helen, has overwhelmed the connection with his own. The weapon has
grown blackened, and cracked by the burning powers wielded by Charles.
●● = Levin’ Fury uses Marksmanship.
● = Removes the cost of Flare Missile.

Bradán Feasa - Relic ●●●

While a salmon in the river Boyne is not rare, one getting lost, swimming up a
hidden path, and then eating nine nuts that had fallen into the pool, that is rare. One
of these rare occurrences was caught, and given to Rory to cook, and eat himself.
Giving him access to all the knowledge of art, and the world.
● = Channels Mystery.
● = Channels Artistry.
● = Can’t be stolen.

Stick of Chalk - Relic ●●●

A single stick of chalk carved with swirls and twists across the powdery stone. It
was one of the three objects left to Bran by the woman, and it gives him a connection
to the land below his feet. Where the chalk is from, or if it means anything deeper
than what it is, is lost to Bran without trying to consult the erie mask. But, he does
know the normal connections the land has to his apparent family, a role he doesn’t fit
particularly well.
● = Channels Earth.
●● = Earth Gnomes uses Art.

Bata Siúil - ●●●

A gift from a Sidhe prince, Sosrí travels with a hawthorn walking stick. The end
stained with mud, and worn from use from walking through cities, deserts, moors, up
mountains, and from being used to pry open many windows, and doors.
● = Channels Psychopomp.
●● = Terra Incognita uses Politics.

Fhile Éadaí - ●●●

A tie dye shirt that Rory made one summer, choosing six separate colors to use,
and, after a long period of trial and failure, put a shamrock design on the shirt. Over
the years, it has become worn, and slightly faded. And it, over the years, became a
comfort shirt. Being pulled out on dreary days.
● = Channels Magic.
●● = Evil Eye swapped to Art.

Fiagaí - ●●●
Fiona’s grandmother, Flidais, noticed that the youngest of Manannan’s daughters
enjoyed the water that both her parents represented, but would never connect with it
on their level. Instead, the elder goddess took her out into the wilderness; and when
Fiona returned, she had this tattooed between her shoulder blades.
● = Channels Animal.
● = Channels Psychopomp.
● = Reduces the cost of Visage Great and Terrible by one legend.

Aes Sídhe Heritage - ●●●

There isn't a drop of human blood in Fiona’s body and it shows in the strangest of
ways. She has trouble around iron, she’s hard-pressed to tell a full lie, and she has
an immense sweet-tooth for honey. While she’s incapable of producing the glamour
that her older sisters can, Fiona always seems in place wherever she decides to go.
●● = Social Chameleon swapped to Stealth.
● = Removes the cost of Perfect Imposter.

Dragon’s Blood - ●●●

Like the legendary Sigurd, Erik slew a dragon, then bathed in and drank its blood.
Uller treated this as taking his son out to hunt a deer for the first time. As a result, he
learned to commune with animals and granted him a measure of protection. This was
enhanced upon becoming a Demigod, as the blood from shooting Nidhoggr’s spawn
in the eye enhanced the protection this act afforded Erik
● = Channels Animal.
●●● = Removes the cost of Body Armor.

Cuneiform Shirt - ●●●

While the Great Gods need not wield items to connect themselves with the forces
of the world, save for the ancient powers of Fate. This shirt given to Samuel has a
single line from the Tablet of Destinies transcribed onto it, giving him the ability to
know what comes, and mimicking the tablets as a breastplate, just as Kingu did.
● = Channels Prophecy.
● = The first Fatigue Penalty of a Story can be ignored.
● = Removes the cost of Opening Gambit.

Bronze Age Axe Head - ●●●

An ancient bronze axe head that smells like deep, wet earth. It, along with the bull
skull, was given to him during his Awakening, and Kevin assumes that it probably
would be better housed in a museum rather than on a piece of chain around his
neck.
● = Curse of Frailty renders male targets impotent for the duration.
● = When used on animals, Corpse Oracle causes them to answer with human-
level intelligence.
● = Bountiful Hunt can function for the slaughtering of animals, rather than a
hunt.

Leather Backpack - ●●●

This finely crafted leather backpack seems to have been handmade from excellent
materials by a master’s needle and knife. The style is simple, but durable and
effective. When opened, Ervin can will the bag to fill with cooked yams wrapped in
banana leaves, or a galaxy of drugs from marjiuana and tobacco to salvia and
psilocybin mushrooms. The only caveat is that the drugs must be of natural origin. No
pills or synthetic compounds like LSD can be gathered.
●●● = Infinite supplies.

Ekoi Mask - ●●●

Family lore says this mask has been passed down since the Atlantic crossing, but
although appraisers have rated the mask as genuine, there’s no way to verify its
connection to the family. It was passed on to Ervine when he went on to college, and
sits on a stand on his bookshelf. Three faces sit on the mask: a large one, and two
smaller ones.
● = Magic.
 ● = Darkness.
● = Illusion.

Slivers of the Moon - ●●●

Originally Hecate gifted her new son two slivers of glimmering glass that were
crafted by the finest moonlight within her domain. It wasn't long until a rival believed
that Jack wasn't worthy of such gifts from an ancient goddess of magic. So he
proceeded to shove them into Jack’s eyes where they still remain. After he recovered
Jack discovered he could see the Fate’s designs as easily as he blinks his now
reflective eyes.
● = Channels Moon.
● = Channels Magic.
● = Removes the cost of Unlidded Eye.

Rank Four

The First Blade ●●●●

Five thousand years ago, iron was smelted for the first time at the hands of
humanity, and five thousand years ago, this Assyrian blade was forged, the very first
of its kind. The very first iron sword ever created by humanity, the first item forged
from iron with the only purpose being for fighting, and killing other humans, was
gifted to the son of Marduk, radiating the death that all of the First Blade’s prodigy
has gathered over five millennia.
●●● = Ignores Armor Defense.
● = -1 Speed.

Hearth Blood - ●●●●

The piece of crystallized fire from the Olympian hearth was taken from Charles’
ring, and broken open, being placed in his skull to replace his blood cooling organ,
his brain. The Theoi’s blood is warmed by the fragment of the Olympian Hearth,
leaving him warm and welcoming to all those around him.

● = Channels War.
●● = Lockpicking swapped to Melee.

Essuru Zumru - ●●●●

James is not certain if he was born this way, or if he was mauled at an age before
he can remember. The supernatural allure and midnight feathers that grow from his
body are nothing more than a hint of the horrors that await the world on the darkest
night of the month.
●●● = Gives access to Animal Aspect (Social).
● = Channels Animal.
Leather Mask - ●●●●
A leather mask that is probably depicting the front half of a skull, with two tiny
horns stuck on the top. It is sewn of layers, and layers of a strange leather, needing
the multiple layers to give it any sort of structural stability. Unknown to Bran, but if
someone who understood such things was to take a look at it, it is sewn of ancient
human skin, taken off the bodies long lost under the hungry earth of the bogs. When
he looks through the eyes of the mask, either with it on, or holding it and looking at it
while making ‘eye contact’, he can tap into unfathomed knowledge.
● = Channels Mystery.
●●● = By ritually burying the wearer of the mask, your first Mystery answer is
always what the storyteller thinks is most relevant to the plot, not necessarily what
you intended.

Snicker-Snack - ●●●●
When Fiona was young, she took a fascination for the writings of Lewis Carroll and
fondly leaves touches of his influence in her day-to-day life. One morning, she went
down to the crashing waves upon the shore, her usual spot to relax, and found a
dagger that seemed to steal the very light from the world around it. The sharpness of
the blade is the reason for the nickname bestowed upon it.
● = Channels Darkness.
●●● = Weapon Damage is doubled when using Snicker-Snack.

Πούρο υπόθεση - ●●●●

A leather bound cigar case that is always filled with four of the finest cigars. The
smoke of the cigars is a heady aroma of various substances both pleasant and
psychotropic. The taint of the resurrected Gauls has twisted the plant fibers.
● = Infinite Cigars.

● = Channels Fertility.

Obsidian Jaguar Skull - ●●●●

This beautifully polished obsidian skull is one of Alan’s most valued Relics,
granting him connection to the animal world and the earth itself
● = Channels Animal
● = Channels Earth.
●● = Trembling Stone swapped to Fortitude.

Vessel of Honey - ●●●●

Honey is typically used in traditional Maya medicine, and is rather effective. This
vessel, containing a never ending supply of divine honey, goes even further than
that.
● = Channels Health.
●●● = Use Health on a target twice per day.

Blowgun - ●●●●
A gift from his nephews, the Maya Hero Twins, this blowgun is quite a potent
weapon. Alan conceals it in public by using it as a walking stick.

●● = Toxic Thorn can be used on Marksmanship attacks.
Rank Five

Skull of Cuailnge’s Git - ●●●●●

A massive, ancient, and decorated bull skull was given to Kevin before he set off
slightly confused into the world to find his missing kin. It is the skull of a half-Divine
bull, born of Donn Cuailnge, and one of The Morrigan’s heifers. The large skull is
entirely normal, for a skull, when Kevin has it hanging off his belt. But, when he pulls
it over his head like a massive, morbid helm, the mask and Kevin together become a
horrific visage of ancient death.
● = Channels Animal.
●●● = Removes the cost of Visage Great and Terrible.
● = Reduces the cost of Do Not Want by one legend.

Jiwinni Ileke - ●●●●●

Those who worship the Orisha in any incarnation tend to favor decorative Ileke.
These are a string of colorful beads arranged in a fashion that is pleasing to one of

praise as many Orisha as possible. Obi is no exception, and has a number of them
dangling about his neck and wrists.
● = Channels Moon Purview.
● = Channels Mystery Purview.
●●● = Removes the cost of Untouchable Opponent.

Antler Bloodletting Needle - ●●●●●

Crafted from the shed antlers of Eikthyrnir, the stag that stands upon Valhalla, this
needle remembers every animal that ever existed. Erik must shed blood in order to
create animals, and with this needle, the act of creation becomes much easier, using
his raw endurance to bleed the animals out, rather than a meticulous creation.
●● = Create Animal swapped to Fortitude.
●●● = Produces twice as many animals with Create Animal.

Blessing of the Old Ways - ●●●●●

Back when ancient Egypt was at its prime a demigoddess found a way to bottled
up all of her knowledge of healing and the comfort of fire. She passed it down to her
children and somehow it found it’s way to England. What the maker’s name was we

● = Channels Fire.
● = Health.
●●● = Allows Health Boons to be used on the same target twice a day.

Moha Bandhan ●●●●●

●● = Occult replaces Larceny for Subtle Knife.
● = Removes the cost of Telepathy.

Fræ við Idunn - ●●●●●

Shortly before speaking to Rick for the first time the Valkyrie Herja had eaten one
of Idunn’s golden apples. Struck by a sudden bout of curiosity, she embedded one of
the seeds into the palm of his hand. The seed allows Rick to channel fertility, and the
genitive (not to mention regenerative) properties of the plant it came from allow it to
undo quite a bit of harm that comes to its host. Of course, who knows what might
become of it in time as it lingers within such eitir-enhanced ichor?
● = Channels Fertility.
●●●● = Upgrade Skin Shedding to restore health to the start of your last action.

Rank Six

Star of Ishtar - ●●●●● ●

A gift from his mighty cousin, a silver necklace with one of Ishtar’s pieces of
iconography, her eight pointed star, hangs as its centerpiece. The potent blessing
from his cousin removes all effort from enthralling others in his own charm, which
appears entirely as a potent blessing, but... could also be an unintentional curse.
●●● = Reduces the cost of Engender Love by three legend.
●●● = Presence is doubled when using Engender Love.

Wings of Icarus - ●●●●● ●

Taking his lightning bolt necklace, and melting it down, the gold was repurposed
into clasps for the burned and broken wings of Icarus. Hephaestus rebuilt them,
replacing the feathers with eagle feathers, and using divine materials that would not
result in a similar disaster that befell Icarus. Heavy leather straps cut from bulls
sacrificed to Zeus, along with the golden bindings created from his necklace, hold the
wings fast to Charles’ chest even when the rest of his clothing has vanished.
●●●● = Functions as Flight.
● = Will not come off when Skin Shedding is used.
● = Channels Thunder.

end, Erik’s beard is permanently covered in hoarfrost, no matter the ambient
temperature
● = Channels Frost.
● = Channels Health.
●●● = Use Health on a target twice a day.
● = Removes the cost of Uller's stride.
Láidreacht na faolchu - ●●●●● ●

to offset the balance of the spear, and allow Quinn to endure a little more hardship
before things start to get too rough.
●● = Principles of Motion swapped to Art.
● = Removes the cost of Divine Wrath.
● = Removes the cost of Anvil Splitter.
●● = Uses Quinn’s base Stamina rating as Armor.

Rank Eight

Thjazi’s Eyes - ●●●●● ●●●

Thjazi, Erik’s jotun grandfather, had his eyes placed in the night sky as a part of
Skadi’s wergild from the Aesir. When Erik entered Tamoanchan with the other
Butterflies, blood called out to blood, and when he re-emerged in the world, he found
that the eyes had found a new home upon his body. On each of Erik’s shoulder
blades is a silvery white eyespot, reminiscent of a moth’s wings, or the white-on-black
speckles on an adult narwhal. He doesn’t yet know what this means, or what they
can do.
●●●●● ●●● = Gives access to Bestial Nature.

First Light - ●●●●● ●●●

A gift from Eos as a thanks to the pretty young Theoi for freeing her from her
imprisonment within the Titanrealm of Stars, the first light of dawn that escaped from
the shattered seal was taken and fashioned it into a laurel wreath in memoriam of the
last pretty young Light God there was when she was sealed so long ago.
Charles couldn't refuse the gift given to him by such a venerated relative, and wears
it proudly, but is slightly cautious none the less due to her reputation. It imbues
Charles with the tremendous power of causing the sun to rise at his very will,
something which he has not yet tried.
●●●●● ●●● = Gives access to Daybreak.

Το κάπνισμα ροπή - ●●●●● ●●●

A coiled length of interlocking chains, constructed of two substances unknown
upon the periodic table. Black and white, they swirl around each other like yin and

putting on artistic displays, spelling out messages, or obscuring the sight of enemies.

Rank Nine

Brehon Cúlra - ●●●●● ●●●●

Once a soot stained jacket, the Dia now walks with the grey woolen cloak around
his shoulders. Plain, and simple, and a single color. The cloak of a simple man, a
Brehon without other rank, which gives him his powers of law, and armors his mind
when faced with Kings, Chiefs, Khans, Tzars, and all other of their sort. Additionally,
the cloak is larger than it appears, and when the Dia is moving, it becomes difficult to
discern where the cloak ends and he begins.
● = Channels Justice.
 ●● = When facing authority figures, MDV is calculated with Justice as the
deciding Ability.
●●● = Removes the cost of Shield of Righteousness.
●●● = Dodge DV swapped to Stealth.

Lámhainní Dócháin - ●●●●● ●●●●

Once thin, worn, and fingerless gloves, Sorsí’s gloves slowly were reinforced over
the years. Thicker, and thicker leather was bolted onto the chemical burned gloves.

through buildings, explode with a snap of his fingers, and they detonate with horrific
power.
● = Channels Chaos.
●● = Divine Rampage can be given to explosives.
●● = Explosives can be detonated by spending a point of willpower.
●●●● = Explosives use Chaos as the Attribute for their creation and subsequent
damage.

Cloch an Aigéin - ●●●●● ●●●●

What was once a water opal has now been shaped and reformed by Brigid into a
stunning corona of silver light that ebbs and flows like the tides of the ocean. It may
dim to near-nothingness or blaze like the full moon over the open waters, but it is
always there.
●●●●● = Doubles the benefit of Virtue Channels with Moon.
●● = Impassion swapped to Moon.
● = Channels Chaos.
● = Channels Moon.

Rank Eleven

Choróin Briste - ●●●●● ●●●●● ●

The most prised possession of Sosrí is a broken, and twisted crown. Thrown to the
ground in frustration when Bres the Beautiful fled Eíre, his Tyranny repulsed by a
bard. The crown was thrown away, and forgotten as one of the Young Tyrant’s
bobbles, but it became powerful in its own right. Giving the wielder the tools needed
to combat people such as the prior owner of it.
●●●●● = Banish uses the target’s Command.
●● = Adds Tyranny as a crime to Code of Heaven.
●● = Law and Order can counter other uses of the Boon.
●● = Law and Order swapped to Politics.

Fíorghrá - ●●●●● ●●●●● ●

While Rhiannon cannot pledge herself in a handfast with the Morrigan, the two
goddesses found themselves following the recent mortal tradition of exchanging rings
as a reminder of where their loyalties, allegiance, and emotion fidelity lay. The ring
serves as a direct, mental connection between the two as if they were one mind in
two bodies and has another strange quirk that allows Rhiannon to avoid the
unpleasant side-effects of being married to a goddess known for crushing bones with
the flick of a wrist.
●●●● = Mind Tether to the Morrigan.
 ●●● = Removes the cost of Meditative Focus.
●● = Sense Motivations swapped to Manipulation.
