The Veiled Reliquary, located on the edge of Emberfield, was once a secretive enclave of the Emberfield Mages Council. Established clandestinely in the shadows of The Emberfield Academy of Arcane Arts, it served as a repository for artifacts of immense power. Only elite members knew of its potent contents, and it became a haven for mages to conduct experiments too dangerous for public scrutiny.
However, its purpose shifted dramatically with the rise of the House of Silk. The council, fearing its contents could be weaponized against them, forbade entrance to the Reliquary. They sealed its doors with powerful wards, cutting off all access.
The unspoken primary reason for sealing the Reliquary away was the recent unearthing of powerful nature-aspected artifacts by the Emberfield Mages. These unpredictable verdant relics presented a profound risk if they fell into the wrong hands. Today, the Reliquary remains sealed and decaying, yet it is stirring with emergent wild magic.
