The Religious Relics: What Are They?

--- Quote from: Second Aristh on June 20, 2015, 01:30:08 AM ---Another thing that might be important is the fact that there were five items in the armory. That's enough to start looking into rituals and summonings the items might help in, not to mention whatever abilities the items may have on their own.

Holy crap, what if they could be used to summon Christ? Like, full on On The White Horse, Sword From Mouth Christ? That would be hardcore.

APOLCALYPTIC

I draw attention to the second word (all caps)..
--- Quote ---An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apocálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning "uncovering"), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden. In the Book of Revelation (Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου, Apocalypsis Ioannou), the last book of the New Testament, the revelation which John receives is that of the ultimate victory of good over evil and the end of the present age, and that is the primary meaning of the term, one that dates to 1175.[1] Today, it is commonly used in reference to any prophetic revelation or so-called End Time scenario, or to the end of the world in general.

All things being equal would it be that out of order for an enactment of an Apocalypse include a major religious figure/deity from the core religion of the milieu (in this case Christianity...)?
There have been many speculations that the BAT/DV story will end with a change of guard at the Outer Gates; Winter being replaced by someone else as Watchers On The Wall, so to speak. The Judeo/Christian Armageddon (or something DV-ish akin to it) might well be what it entails.

Don't know but wouldn't be surprise by this point.

Okay. This got me thinking of of . . . Captain PLanet. Five people holding the items and calling them out.
"Spear!"
"Placard!"
"Crown!"
"Shroud!"
"Grail!"
"Go! Jesus Christ!"
"By your powers combined, I am Jesus Christ!"
. . . Yeah, I really may be going to hell for that one.
