Arts and Sciences

Atlantian Reliquaries

Dreux has had a long-term goal of recreating all of the Sion reliquary purses to scale and gauge, as accurately as possible. He currently has two of the five purses complete, with a third in the works. Once complete, these will become the Atlantian Reliquaries. A project and display used to honor and remember those who have made a lasting impact on the Kingdom of Atlantia.
