Whoops, sorry don't really know how to use the quote thing. Anyway ChishioKunrin, I have no doubt that one day the relics would've been used again, even without involving Salem and her crew.

I'm assuming that Ozpin must have tried killing Salem with the relics at some point right? If maybe one of the relics made the King of Vale one of the strongest men on the planet, all of them would probably make you close to invincible. And considering Salem is still kicking, the relics either weren't strong enough or they just don't affect Salem. I have no evidence to back this up just to be clear.

So he locked them away, and might one day need them again if another worldwide crisis, like the Great War, happens. Ok. But why lock them away if having them on hand, and knowing how to use them, makes you practically unstoppable. Sure there would be issues with having them out in the open, you can't keep a vigilant eye 24/7, and the academies are a good plan as stronghold for them. But Lionheart, someone you trusted to keep one the most important artifacts in the world safe,screwed everything up by being a little bitch. And the Maidens are wild cards, not reliable. How is that safer than keeping them yourself?
