Relics Get a Wiki
May 27, 2011 by dracs
Good news fluff fans, Tor Gaming have added a new wiki section to their Relics website, detailing the background on the world of Relicia.
The first entry, entitled The World, provides you with a detailed history of... well the world. It pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin.
The piece takes you through the entire past of Relicia from when it was first noticed by the Vaettir to the destruction brought about by their disastrous spell.
This wiki is the perfect chance for any one interested in Relic to get an idea of what the game's about as well as for anyone who is just interested in a superb piece of fluff. It fleshes out the forces in your head and helps you to get some form of idea about the motives of the different factions.
The story it tells is the perfect way of introducing yourself into the world of Relic. It's certainly wetted my appetite, liking the idea of the Brittana Puppet Army.
If this has wetted your appetite, be sure to tell us your thoughts below.

Just so impressed by what the guys are doing at Tor Gaming
Great efforts from Gavin deserve to be rewarded with success
Once I get a couple of projects out of the way I really want to get some Relics.
Thanks for you very kind words @chibi I’m afraid I can’t take the credit for the fleshed out background. I just give a framework to Daniel (@dangel) and he puts all the flesh on it. The fluff of a game is very important to me, I like to become immersed in the games universe as it helps me get into the game, so we are investing as much effort in the fluff as we do in the rules. The wiki will expand with faction specific history, faction specific regional background (so, Unglandan will be expanded on to include regions etc),… Read more »
He deserves a Karma boost, fair play to him.
Thanks for the kind words guys. Glad to see my weirdness is being well recieved…
Its going to be fun working through the mountain of stuff thats planned…
on a random tangent… what would you call someone who puts flesh on things?
The anti-Cannibal?
Flesh Gordon?
That’s an old porn film isn’t it? I found a video of it in a Christian charity shop once.
Hope that didn’t have Brian Blessed in it
AAAGH Too late! That image is burned into my head and won’t go away! lol
Wow it will take a few jugs of brain bleach to get rid of that image….
But just to return the favour, according to IMDb, Craig T Nelson was in it….
Anyway I quite like the background for Relics, I do not think I have ever played a post apocalyptic fantasy wargame, it looks interesting and I think I will pick up some soon (I particularly like the Britana and Vaettir factions).
One small recommendation though would be to break up the “The World” entry into paragraphs the wall of text is a bit difficult to read.

lol, that is brilliant. Did you ask them if it was any good? 😀
No but I have feeling its still there, maybe we could give it away in the next turn 8
As a booby prize 😛
oh dear 😛
“One small recommendation though would be to break up the “The World” entry into paragraphs the wall of text is a bit difficult to read.”
that has been done now and a few other typos have been corrected. hopefully the revised version will up for your perusal in the next few days 😉
@idlethought interesting, it has paragraph wraps on it and shows in paragraphs to me. I wouldn’t have posted it as publicly visible if it was a wall of text….. That sort of thing makes my brain fry…… lol
@idlethought just wondering, what browser are you using? I have just check the code and the history has paragraph tags around each paragraph. It shows fine for me.
Try clearing your cache (ctrl and f5) you never know…… Stupid internet voodoo.
i couldn’t see any paragraph marks either mate.
Oh, I was trying out Chrome but it looks like it has been sorted out now anyway.
