Mythic Relics Wielded in Darkness, Remembered in Legend.

Mythic Relics: Wielded in Darkness, Remembered in Legend

Power grows. Legends awaken.

In Shadowdark, magic is rare, powerful, and feared. A true relic should not be discarded like a mundane weapon—it should be woven into legend, evolving as its wielder does. Mythic Relics ensures that magical weapons and armor grow in power, their abilities unfolding as they become part of your story.

A sword tempered in a thousand battles may ignite with righteous fire. A shield that has withstood death itself may become an unbreakable bulwark. But power often comes with a price—these relics may shape their wielders just as much as their wielders shape them.

What’s Inside?

• A complete system for evolving magic items that strengthens weapons and armor as their legend grows.
• Fully fleshed-out Mythic Relics, like Saint’s Rebuke, Sentinel Plate, Bloodfang Blade, and more—each with unique abilities and a mythic backstory.
• Simple but powerful mechanics that fit seamlessly into Shadowdark, using intuitive d6 talent tables and scaling effects.

Why Mythic Relics?

Rather than treating magic items as loot to be replaced, this system makes every weapon and armor piece a part of the story. As your legend grows, so too does your blade, your shield, your armor.

Claim your relic. Wield its power. Pay its price.
