Looking up, I saw a lithe figure in the lantern room remove the trident from its dais and disappear down into the lighthouse. A monstrous pillar of black smoke swallowed the sunset, darkening the skies.

Depending on their uses, such items might either be in plain sight or concealed in special areas.
“Mysterious Relics” examines the various objects, furnishings, garb, accouterments, and items associated with temples and other holy sites and provides as examples a dozen ancient holy items associated with the class...
