#but a fun theory (especially with Sakem already asking if Oscar knew where to find it)

HC on where Ozpin MAY be hiding the Beacon Relic:

My most longstanding theory is that the relic is hidden in the ruins of The Emerald Forest from season 1. This is the first time we see the chess motif come into play, one that we see throughout the series, and this is where the decision/choice is made that creates the teams using various chess pieces - coincidence that Beacon holds the The Relic of Choice?

(and additionally I think they may need to use The Long Memory to access the vault - if you squint the vine spiral pattern in the stone is reminiscent of the part engraved on the handle and Oz is quite protective of it [but then again he's had it for years])

but like, go nuts and share where/how you think Oz hid the relic!
