Very wild hypothesis, but is it possible one of these could be the actual Beacon relic? Is it just conicidential/ bad writing, or does the name have anything more to it? I don't know what the other academies' relics could be in that case, but Beacon's could be the white rook, which may be one of the things Ozpin was hinting at in his 'the tower must not fall' line.

If so, where is Beacon's relic now? What happened to the chess pieces after initiation, are they handed back to the headmaster or do the team leaders get to keep them? If the headmaster got to keep it, then could it be hidden in the handle of Ozpin's cane? It is pretty much exactly the right size and shape, and due to its metal material looking different from the rest of the cane, many have already hypothesised it was hollow. That could have been why Ozpin made sure Qrow would have the cane, such that he could keep the relic away from Beacon and protect it. If that's true, then the relic is either currently with Qrow or wherever he chose to hide it (since we haven't seen the cane for a while). Conversely, if it's still with the leader of the team, then Jaune probably still has it, I'm wondering if that was why Tyrian said 'You interest me' upon encountering Jaune - maybe he was sensing the proximity of the relic?
