Talk:Relic (Age of Empires II)/@comment-27977344-20160704073555/@comment-27462743-20160829052436

Read the history section :) Or you can also go here: on this wikipedia page. In short, a relic is from the latin world reliquiae, which means remains. Basically a relic is supposed to represent the remains of a historical and important figure such as kings, leaders etc.., and they used to lock them in churches and put them in gold and fancy containers, which I guess is what the relic is based on. I also think thta it might represent the gold they used to put in churches and monasteries, or basically just an important religious symbol.
