Relics of the Dead Age.
*Relics are objects that have absorbed personality, tragedy, raw emotion, and other extremes from mortal and divine life. They gain power from those who once held them and are a major source of power among those evading the Astarte forces. *
Relic Name: A Mother’s Sacrifice.
Type: Misc.
Origin Class: Burning Words.
Appearance: A silver amulet with a heart of thousands of small carved dragon rubies from her sisters, mother, and brother. It’s been worn smoothly after ages of use and looks primitive to modern eyes.
When Hybori vanished, the Astarte had stormed the Hall of Heroes torching books. Murdering students and servants, Zeihalsium, has been roused from the depths of the Hall of Heroes and had told the others to escape with as many people and books as possible. She left, protecting the retreat to Groth and Lionguard and drew the fire of the invaders. She turned to her great draconic form and tore through their lines rending tanks burning troops with dragon fire.
She drove back their lines and forced an opening for the Hall and local civilians to flee the city. As she twisted the knife into the more than decimated force. As she fought wounds piled up and then one of the fell false gods of the Astarte descended to meet her talon against spell. Outnumbered, surrounded, she died fighting buying her adopted family every moment she could.
