Yeah relic wont continue into the expansion. It wouldn't fit with not need content pre expansion to make use of content post expansion thinking that se seem to be going for.

Also I think se did say the relic would come to an end one day and right before expansion seems like a neat time to wrap it up.

I also have a 125 zodiac, am I sad that others can start a new relic and not need the old one? Nope.
