Relic 1: The Death Mask of Krish Kra Pal

This mask was used eons ago by the high priest of the Echidna faith, when burying a mummified king. The priest would wear this mask while performing the mummification and then again when the body was laid to rest inside its tomb. Folk Lore had it that this Mask is the channelling totem for the god of death himself and that those who wear it are in danger of welcoming him into their soul.
Presently the mask rests in an exhibit in the Central City Museum after being recovered from ancient ruins on the South Continent after the end of the Human Factions War.

Relic 2: The Necronomicon

This dark tome is feared and reviled by many and for good reason. This book has dark power within its ancient pages, powers that have destroyed those who came to possess it. Older than the Ancient Echidna’s themselves, this book gave their Mage Pax the power to separate Chaos from his powers and make the Chaos Emerald’s and again it was used by Tikal to seal Chaos again away inside the Master Emerald at the cost of her own life.
This book however should never be used lightly and its power comes at a terribly high price.

Relic 3: The Eight Chaos Emeralds.

(That’s right. Not Seven. EIGHT.)


The Chaos Emeralds are the crystallized powers of the god Chaos, torn from him by the Echidna Pax. These jewels gave the Echidna’s the power necessary for Pachachamac’s ethnic cleansing of the Djinn.
Presently they are scattered over Earth Second and await those who come to seek their awesome combined power.

Relic 4: The Master Emerald


This Special Emerald is the crux of the other eight. After his powers were separated from him, Chaos himself was bound inside the Master Emerald to act as the controlling force. As long as the Echidna’s had the Master Emerald, they could keep the power of the Chaos Emeralds under reasonable control. Chaos was eventually freed from the Emerald and went on a rampage, determined to kill the Echidnas for humiliating him. It was Tikal to sealed him inside the Emerald again, using the Necronomicon.
After this is was taken north by the remaining Echidna’s and used to levitate Angel Island into the air.

Relic 5: The Shield of Pax

When the ascended Pax charged the first Guardians of the Master Emerald with their new duty, they began crafting for themselves weapons and armour. The most successful of which was the Shield of Pax. It fed on the will of its user and became stronger. In short, the more zeal and faith its user had, then the stronger its defensive power would be.
The shield was last used by the Guardian Gukumatz and hasn’t been picked up by his predecessors since.

Relic 6: The Mark


While not actually an artefact it is worthy of mention.
The Mark is the sign of a Chosen One, foretold in ancient prophecy. The person that bares this mark comes as a messiah, at least according to old murals, to the near extinct Echidna people.
Paradoxically, this mark adjourns the shoulders of both Sonic and Shadow.
