History[]
Creation[]
Before departing from Remnant, the God of Light created the Relics as a means to summon The Gods back to the world. They stand as a physical representation of their four gifts to Humanity.
Hidden in Shade[]
Prior to the start of the series, the Relic was found by Ozma after using the Relic of Knowledge to discern its location. It was later used by the King of Vale to end the Great War in Vacuo. Afterwards, it was hidden in the Shade Vault under Shade Academy where it is kept.
Following their setback at Haven Academy, Salem initially intended on sending her forces to Vacuo in order to retrieve the Relic there. However, after learning that Ozpin and his group were taking the Lamp to Atlas, she instead changed her target.
Trivia[]
Vacuo Swords
- The symbol of each Kingdom appears to correspond to the Relic hidden at its Huntsman Academy. The Relic of Destruction takes the form of a sword and is situated in Vacuo, whose insignia are three swords.
- Although there are rules to the Relics, they are not hardcoded. So long as you follow the intent, even if its not the letter, they will still give you what you want.[2]
