GM Dictionary: The Dead #17

This month we look at the various burial places of the world! What better way to kick off a series during October!?

Reliquary

Sometimes referred to as a shrine, these are not for the burial of the dead but for the containing of relics. However, relics may be the bones or remains of a saint acting as both a container for the dead and a relic.

This is a mini-article series featuring short explanations for words more commonly used in RPGs (or potentially so!) than normal conversation. Each month will hold a different theme and each weekday will have a different word. Note: these are personal, simple breakdowns and not perfect. Please tell me if I am mistaken and I will work to correct it! For anyone looking for a collected work please check out our Patreon. All patrons get a PDF collected copy each month!
