Vacuo's emblem being swords could be a coincidence, since I don't really see, at the moment, how the other kingdoms' emblems could align with their Relics, especially if the Relics can change form. Mmm....A sword, a pair of axes, a spear, and what I think is a shield.....Those, are the emblems of each Kingdom. He-Man's sword, a Vacuan sword, like Vacuo's emblem...

So, what if, the relics are legendary weapons? If we assume Relics=Powers, then what if the physical form they appear in, is as those weapons? When Qrow mentioned the 4 powers they looked like energy balls, but he was talking about the powers specifically, and we can't assume the powers (in physical form) look literally like that.

There's no reason to assume the relics can change form. And Vacuo's emblem being swords is only coincidental to an extent: It's 3 swords, with what look like wings. The design is completely different from the sword He-Man used.

So sure, they are all swords, but that's it. By the same principle, the other relics are not 100% like their Kingdoms's emblems, but still within the same family. Well, then. Where I got confused is that I thought Mistral's emblem was a lantern rather than a shield, and I had thought Atlas' emblem was a spear but was told it was a torch. And I got thrown off by the suggestion that Vale's Relic is either the scepter or king's crown.

That is a pretty interesting theory. What if the Vale king was in possession of all four relics? This would explain his immense power at the time of the war. The four relics might not be the weapons on the kingdoms emblems put possibly the four items he had in his posession; The sword, the sceptre, the crown, and his cloak (?).

People have stipulated that Salem is already in posession of the destruction relic. This could be the cloak, as she is wearing one. The relic of vale, be it the relic of destruction, creation, knowledge, or choice, is thus still likely to be Ozpin's cane.

I'm all down for Crocea mors being one of the relics. The sword in the WoR might be intentionally drawn differently to not draw suspiscion to it. If the Wizard's soul transferring is random, its easily possible that the Vale king is related to Jaune and a former possessor of the wizard's soul. It would make sense then, that the sword is left in Jaune's posession as he inherits it from the king, and nobody would think to look for such a divine weapon in the posession of a person like Jaune.
