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. The Eye was eventually stolen by the goddess 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 Guardian for their respective city and a race of creatures that were released into the wilds of Sapience. 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.

Today, city relics serve several functions. With the advent of 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 Jesters. Finally, city-states may tap into the power of their respective font defensively, increasing damage enemy soldiers take during a sanctioned raids on their cities.
