The '''Fonts''' are city relics which were first crafted during the [[War of the Divine Child]].

The artefact known as the [[Eye of Proteus]] was first used by [[Sartan]] to create the [[Fissure]] within [[Mhaldor]] to secretly drain the energy of and sicken the [[Darkenwood]] whilst sending false visions to [[Twilight]] and [[Demeter]] in 325 AF. The Eye was eventually stolen back by [[Valnurana]] and given to [[Eris]], the theft marking a turning point in the war. Through the powers of the Eye, the city patrons were able to intermingle their power and craft the different relics. Originally they birthed both a [[:Category:City Guardians|Guardian]] for their respective city and a race of creatures that were released into the wilds of [[Sapience]]. After the destruction of Eye of Proteus and the Third [[Black Wave]] the cities of [[Mhaldor]], [[Ashtan]], and [[Cyrene]] had their fonts destroyed and new avenues were needed to create city-relics. If a guardian should fall, their connected relic will drain of power and must be refilled through the essence of the creatures spawned from the other relics. | ||
City relics serve several functions. In the past, with the advent of [[:Category:Icons|Icons]] the city relics became a means for Houses to summon icon alchemists for icon combat. During this time the Gods also crafted a new font for cityless Houses such as the [[Carnivalis Institute of Jestering|Jesters]]. Currently, city-states may tap into the power of their respective font defensively, increasing damage enemy soldiers take during a sanctioned raids on their cities. | City relics serve several functions.
