Relics & Artifacts

[Dread0395]

All,

I'm interested in compiling a list of 'real world' relics and artifacts for use in my modern game. To that end I thought this venue would be perfect for it.

As a start to the list I offer the following:

Ark of the Covenant
Spear of Destiny
Cup of Christ (Holy Grail)
Judas Iscariot's 30 pcs of silver
John Henry's Sledgehammer
Excalibur
Sword of St. George
Regalia of Joan of Arc
Bowie's Bowie Knife


Keep this list growing and we'll have one helluva resource for neat magic items for a Modern game!
