Overview[]

Relics are a special type of building and the central element of the second post-release major update. They allow players to benefit from special abilities or bonuses but need to be forged first by assigning Smiths to a Forge.

A relic cost 100, 50 and 10 and takes 8 months to be forged with two regular smiths. Once built, it needs to be placed in an area like a regular building.
It is not possible to build more than one relic per game. Only Horse clan can build a second one, by activating the Lore "Ancestral Influence".

Allies cannot build the same relic. It is not possible to use another player's relic, even if you colonize a zone containing a relic that your clan could build.

While some relics are common and can be built by any clan, others can only be built by one specific clan.
A relic cannot be removed or destroyed once built. The same goes to a relic in an area that has been colonized.
