Relictus

"The mortals call us fiends. To them, we are evil creatures that are trying to kill their gods. The Caeles have also taken to calling us fiends while they slaughter us. They like to differentiate us from them, to pretend we are something different, even though we are their kin. Were their kin, I guess. What do we call ourselves? Relicti. We have been forgotten, cursed, left behind. We are not really all that bad, just unfortunate." - Tomir Vasili

Relictus (plural: relicti) are a type of celestial being. They were once Caeles, but were cursed when their gods betrayed and tried to overthrow the Maker.

Basic Information

Dietary Needs and Habits

Relicti, like caeles, only need to eat every few days. Due to this, few celestials are interested in elaborate or high-effort foods.

Additional Information

Facial characteristics

Relicti have dark, glowing red eyes.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Relicti are attuned to the auras of other caeles and relicti and as such, can feel when another celestial being Realm-Steps into an area. Strong or old relicti may also be able to detect the non-Realm-Stepping approach of others as well.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking

Relicti have grey skin--shades range from light to dark. Their veins which hold black blood are very close to the surface of their skin and as such, have many spiderweb-like black lines all over their body. They have red horns on their head that present in various shapes and sizes. They will also have The God-Mark of the god they service somewhere on their body.
