<div class="relic-desc--full">
<div class="desc">
Click the <b>Add a Relic</b> button on the main page.

You’ll be guided through a simple form:
• Relic Name — the official or commonly known name
• Category — which Doom game or era it belongs to
• Subcategory — figures, games, apparel, promos, etc.
• Description — what it is and why it matters
• Image — box art, item photos, manuals, or inserts

Incomplete entries are OK. Pages can always be improved later.
