Gods & Pantheons: Relics and Icons

  1. Gods & Pantheons
  2. Sample Spirits

Religions have many symbols besides their main holy symbol, each for their own special purpose. The bread that is the body of Christ is an example of such a blessed symbol that must be carefully guarded. Many good religions will use blessed holy water; water is the symbol of life.

Relics are blessed by virtue of their existence. They are individual items that cannot be reproduced. The shroud of Turin is an example of a relic, created from the sweat of a dying avatar and the compassion of one of his most devoted followers. Often the bones or prized belongings of avatars or prophets will be considered relics to a religion. Some relics will have special powers, although they do not have to. Relics are their own treasure.
