After Castrum you can start the relic quest to get a ilevel 80 axe (first relic) and ilevel 90 axe (first upgrade of the relic).
If you want a level 50 axe then buy that one you would need for the relic quest afterwards. For the WAR relic this should be the Barbarian's Bardiche (ilevel55)
Pretty sure you have to finish Praetorium to access A Relic Reborn.
