Lore

• The Reliquary functions as a museum of artifacts, including those of the Karui. In particular there are the three Kitava's Torments, artifacts belonging to the Karui gods: Hinekora's HairHinekora's Hair"What we steal in life we repay in death."
  - Karui Proverb, Tukohama's ToothTukohama's Tooth"The belly cannot hunger for what the eyes cannot see."
  - Karui Proverb, and Valako's JawValako's Jaw"One day you eat the fish. One day you feed the fish."
  - Karui Proverb, along with a plaque explaining the legend explaining the origins of each item.

• During the Conquerors of the Atlas and Echoes of the Atlas expansions' Epilogue, the area was once again revisited as The Haunted Reliquary, where the player finds the spare parts of a Map DeviceMap DeviceHideout ItemCreates an object in your hideout2 Variations in the vault subarea of the Reliquary, and able to rebuilt one. That area was removed from the game at the start of Siege of the Atlas end-game expansion, but most of the lore are not conflicted with the new lore.

However, in version 3.25.0, the Reliquary is retconned and the vault subarea is accessible again without showing there are any Map Device spare parts inside. Since the current Epilogue has a time jump where it starts at the aftermath of the destruction of Oriath by Sirus, without any explanation of how Kirac and the player acquire the Map Device. The vault subarea effectively marked Picking Up the Pieces non-canon, at the same time without new lore to fill it.
