Item from Volume 6 by Rooster Teeth
The golden lamp that told them everything. Two of three questions spent, the Relic hangs from Yang's belt — inert but still attracting Grimm, still carrying the weight of truths that broke a team's faith.
The Relic of Knowledge is a golden lamp that summons Jinn, a blue spirit who answers questions with absolute truth. The team used it to learn Salem's full history — her immortality, the gods' curse, Ozma's endless cycle of reincarnation, and Ozpin's millennia of lies. The answers destroyed their trust in their mentor and changed everything they thought they knew about the war they're fighting. Two of three questions for this century have been used. The lamp is functionally inert — Jinn cannot be summoned again for a meaningful exchange. But it still glows faintly, still attracts Grimm by its divine nature, and still needs to reach Atlas for safekeeping. Yang carries it on her belt because someone has to carry it, and Yang has never been the kind of person who lets someone else shoulder the weight.
A beautiful golden oil lamp with an ornate teardrop-shaped body and a curved spout, glowing with faint ethereal blue light. Small enough to hang from a belt but radiates immense presence. Currently depleted of questions after revealing Salem's full history.
Also known as: the Relic of Knowledge, the Lamp, Jinn's lamp
