Relicts
“Relict, Relict, creation’s delict;
Promises broken, Pantheon tricked.
Strength and will of no man living,
Vicious spirit, unforgiving;
Eyes of night and claws of steel,
The Faceless Traitor's troops ideal,
See a Relict, run, go hide!
No mortal man returns alive.
Relict, Relict, creation’s delict,
Promises broken, Pantheon tricked.
Sealed beneath great Aedrasil,
Return to war one day they will.”
“They’re demons,” he said at last. “Creatures of pure evil from mankind’s darkest nightmares. Natives of Nephilheim, the land of ice.”
“I know damn well what a Relict is capable of. Lost my hand to one of the stragglers left behind from the Second Age. They’re as fast as lightning they are, and just as sharp."
“If a shepherd could fight it, it either wasn’t very experienced, or the shepherd was one hell of a lucky bastard. I wouldn’t recommend it, though. If there’s a single Relict roaming the countryside, there’ll be a couple more. They follow a chain of command; there’s usually a good reason for whatever they do.”
“Relict be dead, Relict be gone,
Stabbed through the heart; still fighting on?
Cut off its limbs, cut off its head,
Burn it with fire, Relict is dead!”
Relicts come in different shapes and sizes, and follow a strict chain of command. They can keep fighting for several minutes even while mortally wounded. The surest way is to cut off the limbs and the head, or use a burning weapon. They can also be weakened by salt, or Soulforged weapons.
