relics -- keep a God's flock happier Dungeon strongboxes sometimes drop a faith relic with cash and Magi loot. Each family has three tiers (I-III); higher tiers are rarer but stronger: a shard of devotion / bright / searing a saintbone charm / reliquary / crown charm a covenant lantern / beacon / sun-lantern How you play (God Mantle) 1. Loot a relic from a strongbox (or receive one in trade). 2. absorb <item> merge it into your Mantle (frees an inventory stack) 3. absorb all merge every upgrade; clear spare echoes 4. absorb spares destroy useless duplicate copies 5. relics Mantle summary, tier, neglect/decay, and flock bonuses Anyone can loot them. Gods merge them into the Mantle (one family slot each): - slower devotion neglect while carried (``relics`` shows your live decay rate) - a devotion drip each tick while online - extra devotion when you minister Absorbing a higher tier replaces the weaker tier of that family and destroys lower copies on your belt. Absorbed relics do not appear on inventory or score -- only on relics. Duplicate tiers you already hold pay scaled cash from strongboxes. See also: help congregation | help god | help inventory
