Relics are procedurally generated items that have special significance within the [[world generation|generated history]] of {{gamename}}. Relics are most often found in [[historic site]]s or [[sultan reliquary|sultan reliquaries]], but can also be found in procedurally generated ruins or even held by random creatures. Relics can generate with unique relic powers that are not typically available on normal items or through [[tinkering]]. A typical relic may spawn with 1-4 unique relic powers. | Relics are procedurally generated items that have special significance within the [[world generation|generated history]] of {{gamename}}.

Relics are perhaps most iconic for their place in [[sultan]] lore. For example, a relic might be a mighty weapon that helped a sultan win a decisive battle, or a relic might be a memorable gift that was given to a sultan on their wedding day. If a sultan retains a relic until their death, it will be found within the sultan's {{favilink|sultan reliquary|reliquary}} in the {{favilink|Tomb of the Eaters}}. In other cases, the sultan might lose the relic before their death. Such relics can sometimes be found in [[historic site]]s, if the location where it was lost still exists in contemporary Qud. | Relics are perhaps most iconic for their place in [[sultan]] lore.

The type of underlying base item for each relic can be determined from the lore associated with the sultan, if such lore exists. Notably, relics generated in [[historic site]]s do not always have a fragment of sultan lore associated with them, depending on randomization factors during [[world generation]]. These types of relics are often recognizable because they are typically named after the historic site or the floor of the historic site where they are found, rather than being named as based on a fragment of sultan lore. | The type of underlying base item for each relic can be determined from the lore associated with the sultan, if such lore exists.

Historic sites can often contain relics that are not directly associated with sultan lore. Generally this is the case whenever a fourth-period or fifth-period sultan did not lose one of their relics at a location in the historic site. These type of relics are generated with a randomized underlying item base type, since there is no driving lore to dictate their item type. | Historic sites can often contain relics that are not directly associated with sultan lore.

* Prior to patch [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/333640/view/4639224265629184703 2.0.200.86] (August 14, 2020), it was possible to mod [[relic]] items, allowing a player to combine relic powers with other powerful tinkering mods. For example, relic freezing + normal [[freezing]] could be combined on an item for a very powerful overall freezing effect. However, it is no longer possible to add normal mods to relic items.<ref name="GenerateBaseRelic" /> | |||
