The Heroic Reliquary is a small yet intricately crafted ornate container, typically worn by holy figures such as Knights, Paladins, or Clerics. It is a symbol of faith and dedication, often adorned with religious symbols and designs reflecting the wearer's deity or order. The reliquary is traditionally created by the wearer themselves and blessed at an official shrine or temple of their faith. It hangs from the wearer's waist and serves as a repository for holy relics and sacred items of personal significance, such as bones, skulls, sealed scrolls with prayers or blessings, and blessed trinkets. These items often hold sentimental value and are carefully chosen to reflect the wearer's spiritual journey and achievements. Wearing the Heroic Reliquary signifies the wearer's unwavering dedication to their faith and their readiness to uphold its tenets in their daily life and adventures
