Relics

Item, Journeys in the Dark

I - Rules

(see JITD, p. 19; FAQ, p. 6)

Relic markers represent extremely powerful items. Relics are each represented by a double-sided item card. Any hero that picks up a relic marker takes the corresponding item card and may use it like any other item. However, a relic may never be sold, and if dropped, the card is returned to the pile of relic cards and its marker is placed on the board where it was dropped. Unlike other items, relics are never lost.

Relics may not be destroyed ever for any reason by effects that destroy items such as the Frost ability. This is not true of Dark Relics, which have all the same vulnerabilities as normal items.
