“What are relics?”
It was a simple question and came with a simple answer.
It was a fragment of divinity, and anyone who held the relic could then channel a fragment of that world’s faith to create miracles. Miracles then took on many different forms. Miracles were things such as a sudden surge in the combat power of Hoyia, Ebon, and the others.
Miracles, in their case, took the form of the power to single handedly overturn the tide of battle.
Relics enabled miracles, and they were an inherent part of the old system.
“The old gods moved to the World Faith System because they all knew that faith was powerful. Miracles were there even before the first gods came to be, through things such as worldly miracles. There was a time when the people used to worship and believe in the power of the land and the elements. That was faith as well. Faith in the world, faith in the old nature before an existence like yourself came to be.”
“Faith is thoughts, beliefs. They are things in the hearts of men, and they linger within our souls. This is a power, even if unseen and untouchable. They flow into the aether, and thus empower the world as we know it.”
Faith was the fuel that existed throughout the world. It was how the old masters exceeded their inherent level limitations.
