Er, last I checked, you don't have to have a relic to enter first Coil. You need to complete the quest to kill HM Titan, who just conveniently happens to be the final roadblock to having a relic, so most players unlock first Coil in the same sweep that they get their relic.

Relic and "next raid boss" are on separate but sometimes related quest tracks. No precedent shows that this will change.
