Item from Volume 5 by Rooster Teeth
A golden lamp hidden in the vault beneath Haven Academy — one of four Relics created by the gods of Remnant. Yang retrieved it after Raven opened the vault and fled.
The Relic of Knowledge is a golden lamp, ornate and glowing with an inner light that suggests it contains something older than the kingdoms. It was hidden in a vault beneath Haven Academy, accessible only by the Spring Maiden. Raven opened the vault. Cinder fought Raven for it. And Yang — the daughter Raven abandoned — walked into the vault after the fight was over and carried the Relic out. The lamp can answer any three questions per century, drawing on infinite knowledge of past and present. It's unclear how many questions remain. What's clear is that the Relic is now in the heroes' possession, and Salem wants it. It's also a potential weapon against Ozpin's secrets — the lamp could reveal everything the ancient wizard has been hiding, and Ozpin knows it. Gathering all four Relics would summon the gods of Remnant, who would judge humanity and decide whether the species deserves to continue existing. The stakes are exactly as high as they sound.
A golden lamp of ornate design, roughly a foot tall, with a teardrop-shaped body and a curved handle. It glows with a warm, inner light — turquoise and gold — that suggests ancient power. A chain allows it to be carried or hung. The lamp feels heavier than it looks, as though the knowledge inside has physical weight.
