Relics

Magical items retrieved during Operation Albion. According to Robert Daly, the members of Oberation Albion signed an agreement to share the artefacts when one had need of it (Storm on the Horizon). 
==About the Relics==
The Relics are magical objects, and could take many shapes, such as a scroll, knot, stone, cup, orb, trident. They were going to be used to turn the power of the Old Religion into a weapon.
Not much is known about the Relics, and much of what we do know is just speculation and guessing.
===Merlin Arthur===
Merlin is a relic. Or something along those lines. Like we said, everything is pretty much speculation at this point because they've only been very briefly mentioned in Desperate Measures and Collaberations. Uther beat Balinor to Snowden. Arthur is an artefact/relic. Uther took Ygraine to Snowden where she conceived Arthur, even though she was infertile. Hunith and Balinor didn't go until later, but the power of the place helped Hunith, who also had difficulty getting pregnant, conceive as well. Merlin and Arthur really are two sides of the same coin. 
=== Key===
A skeleton key that can open doors to other worlds--other realms.
===Trident===
"The shaft was made out of a slivery metal, solid and strong and unoxidized by time, ornately decorated in sybols and images that meight mean soemthing to a more educated mind. The prongs were made out of a reddish, tempered steel; it was not, like he [Uther] first thought, bronze but an annealing of different metals of such a high purity that no one could even fathom how anyone could have forged it, never mind attained such quality." - Desperate Measures
===Magic Amplifier===
In Breakwater we learn that Freya is being used as a power source for an ancient relic/spell that amplifies magic. This relic is key to the NWO's plot to take over the world.
===Power Source===
"It makes a lovely glow lamp, shines a pretty shade of blue when it's happy, boes dark as ptich when it's not...." (Daly in Storm on the Horizon )--the thing that helped Uther make the EMP thingy.
