Sacred remains, crown relics, war tribute, hag hoards, pacts, and the nameless. Every entry carries an attunement rite, past bearers, rumors & rivals, and a named condition of destruction.
Standalone and portable, or woven into the shared world. Each of the 100+ entries is a complete artifact—mechanically precise, visually original, and narratively alive.

Resonances
Relics can awaken authored interactions with other relics: a new way to use a power, an altered consequence, or a dangerous combination. The Black Book Atlas makes those connections visible without replacing the rules of the items themselves. Follow them in the Atlas →
From the Hollow Crown to the Last Gift — every relic is a story you can hold. Click any image to view it full size.
In the act of creation, the One was wounded. Creation bears the Wound. Sin deepens it; mercy heals it.
The Relics are organized by provenance — origin and creator — not by effect. The Crown's Legacy speaks of fallen monarchies. The Sacred Remains carry the weight of saints. The War Tribute remembers battles that ended kingdoms. The Forge's Legend remembers hands and heat. The Folk Charms keep village magic close. The Hag's Hoard whispers from cottage doorways. The Pact's Bargains are signed in blood and smoke. The Death's Keeping, the Scholar's Secrets, and the Nameless wait at stranger thresholds.
Every relic in this book belongs to the shared world of the Black Book Series. Use them whole, borrow a single thread, or transplant every entry into a setting of your own.
The ten core families are joined by The Backers’ Legacy: patron-created relics with their creators credited in Codex.

Before you open a Black Book
No. Every Black Book stands alone. The shared world and cross-book connections are optional enrichment, not required purchases.
Potions and Relics provide 5e rules. Settlements & Wild Places is being developed as a system-neutral location toolkit.
Your campaign reward determines your PDF, cards, Codex, and print-on-demand benefits. Consult the reward you selected; a preview is not ownership of another book.
A print-on-demand code provides access to the eligible offer on DriveThruRPG. Printing and shipping are paid separately; the code is not free printing or free delivery.

Owners of either released Black Book can explore five selected entries from the other book. The five potion previews include their direct ingredient references. Previews do not grant downloads, POD offers, or package ownership.
