Likewise with all I knoe about the artifacts (from this thread) I assume that this is also the case for them. Legendary iconic weapons that the playwer would canonically be depicted with
Eh that's not entirely true, the artifacts were mostly weapons known in the lore because wielded by some of the main heroes of the story
Also I wouldn't say that this time around the relic is tied to the lore of the job at all
