Rebellion relics are the mark that all children of the officers of the Tyrrish Rebellion carry.
General Information[]
Those with rebellion relics are known as the "marked ones." There are 107 children with rebellion relics. Runes were given to the children of the officers by Colonel Mairi before their parents left for the Battle of Aretia. These items were designed to counter the signet of the dragon rider who would ultimately execute their parents. The runes could only be activated upon the death of the bearer's parents by dragonfire, the primary method of execution for traitors. When General Melgren's dragon executed their parents, the rebellion relics appeared on the children. When three or more people bearing the rebellion relics are together, General Melgren cannot see the outcome of anything they do. Therefore, gatherings of three or more "marked ones" is strictly forbidden.
The marked children were fostered by families loyal to the Crown of Navarre after the public executions were complete. All of them are required to volunteer for the Riders Quadrant at Basgiath. Most children were trained to fight by their foster families until after news got out about Xaden climbing the ranks in the Riders Quadrant according to Imogen. [1]
Appearance[]
The rebellion relic looks like a shimmering mark that starts at the top of the wrist and twists upward around the arm. They are made up of swirls and slashes that "feel more like a warning than claiming."
