Reliquary Map Markers
=====================

12 stylised map markers and world indicators for dark interfaces — deep indigo
with pale silver accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Reliquary Map Markers is a set of 12 map markers and world indicators drawn in
the stylised style, where the frame is carved, with finials pushing out past
the corners and a gem set into each one. It contains five map pins — plain,
quest, shop, danger and home, waypoint chevrons, a player facing arrow, a
route node and a compass tick, an objective ring, ping rings and an area of
effect.

Interface kits cover the edges of the screen. These sit in the middle of it,
on top of the game, where the kit has no idea what is underneath — grass,
snow, night. A marker that relies on a background to read against will
disappear over half of your levels.

The ornament is part of the silhouette rather than drawn on top of it, so the
frame is recognisable at thumbnail size. The face carries a three-stop
vertical gradient — the closest a flat kit gets to a painted bevel.

Inside that style this is the Reliquary reading of it: a dark interface on a
deep indigo palette with pale silver accents, built around a header band
across the top of the frame, chamfered buttons at 128x56, hollow-cored bars
divided into 12 segments, and two-tone icons on a 24px grid. Those
measurements are why two families can share an art style without being
interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide
what the interface is for.

Every marker carries its own outline and a single-colour body, so the
silhouette does the work rather than the fill. The anchor is named in each
sprite title and it is not the centre: a pin points at its target with the
tip, so its anchor is bottom centre, while a ring and a facing arrow anchor at
the middle. Placing a pin by its centre puts it half a pin above whatever it
was meant to mark. The area and objective rings are dashed rather than solid
because they describe a region rather than an edge — a solid ring reads as a
wall.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Reliquary family,
which means this kit and the Reliquary panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for fantasy and RPG interfaces.

HOW TO USE

  - Anchor each sprite by the point named in its title: bottom centre for
    pins, centre for rings and the facing arrow.
  - Keep markers at a fixed screen size rather than scaling them with
    distance; a pin that shrinks with the world stops being readable at
    exactly the distance you needed it.
  - Use the ping rings as three frames of one animation — draw them outward
    and fade — rather than as three separate markers.
  - Tint the pin body per faction but leave the outline alone; the outline is
    what keeps the marker readable over an unknown background.
