Skitarii - Relics of Mars: Relics of Mars are items of terrifying power that are sometimes bestowed upon a Skitarii Alpha or Sicarian Princeps by a senior tech-priest for them to field-test. The following are known examples of such potent relics:Arkhan's Divinator - The Imperium is littered with the detritus of more than ten millennia of war. Amongst it are many useful discoveries waiting to be recovered by the Adeptus Mechanicus -- and in the case of unidentified archeotech, by their Skitarii Legions in particular. To aid his minions in the location of such items, the revered techno-archaeologist Arkhan Land fashioned a gauntlet around an armature of ancient Martian divining rods. One who wears this gauntlet will find his fingers twitching when he is near a relic of surpassing value, even whilst in the heat of battle. Uncanny though it seems, the subsequent investigation will often reveal exactly the calibre of treasure that the wielder needs in order to secure victory.The Omniscient Mask - Legend has it that the wearer of the Omniscient Mask can read the souls of men, each rendered as legible as the binaric calligraphy of the Illuminatoria. An object of great veneration amongst the Skitarii, those under its gaze fight all the harder, for each warrior fears he will be found wanting in the eyes of the Omnissiah's chosen.Pater Radium - Amongst the Skitarii there is a theory that Pater Radium is the heart of a nuclear reactor, the first of its kind to be built on Mars. The honour of carrying this ornate rad-pack is awarded only to those who have acted on their own military initiative and hence won the day. Little matter, then, that the horrifically powerful radiation it emanates cause the teeth, hair and bones of the bearer to degrade to mulch in short order. Its very presence is an honour to the legionary that bears it, and when the legendary artefact can reduce the strongest of enemy warriors to crawling weakness, who can question its sacred cause?Phase Taser - A true miracle of the Machine God, the Phase Taser crackles with transdimensional energy, leading several curious magi to theorise it was once far more than a tool of war -- though seeing as every one of them subsequently disappeared without trace, the Tech-priests have lately been content to leave it in Skitarii hands. One struck hard by the prongs at the taser's end will be instantly and permanently transported into another dimension, effectively disappearing from reality in a burst of crackling light.Phosphoenix - The blasphemous Tech-priest Veriliad essentially destroyed the Adeptus Mechanicus' ability to make Phosphex Weaponry. Having seen the crawling horror of the living, white-blue flame, Veriliad destroyed the lone known STC database for the substance's creation. Efforts to recreate it have been unsuccessful ever since. Decried as Heretic Technis by the rest of his order, Veriliad was tied to a stake and shot with the pistol known as Phosphoenix, the finest such weapon ever produced. Perhaps fittingly, he was burnt alive by the very living flame he had tried to extinguish.Skull of Elder Nikola - This yellowed, multi-lacquered Servo-skull is perhaps the most ancient of its kind. It has been ghost-dated to the early days of Mankind, when primitive Terrans had barely evolved the ability to conjure light. Should the correct praise-psalm be sung to it, the halo of electrical power that surrounds its bony circumference will explode outwards in a ring of crackling force, scrambling the unnatural workings of enemy war engines.
