Historic site: Difference between revisions

{{Stub}}{{tocright}}

 

Typically, the locations of historic sites are discovered by looking at statues that depict sultan lore. They may also be obtained as traded secrets or through similar means. There is always guaranteed to be one statue in the [[zone]] just north of [[Joppa]] that reveals the location of one historic site, even if the player does not choose Joppa as a starting village. Other historic sites must be discovered during normal play.

== World Map Location ==

There will always be four randomly generated and randomly located historic sites in each world. Those locations will be placed into specific world tiers, as shown in the [[World_Map#World_Tier|numeric world tier overlay]].{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.WorldBuilders|class=JoppaWorldBuilder|method=AddSultanHistoryLocations|name=AddSultanHistoryLocations}}

== Sultan and Sultan Cult ==

{{main|Sultan}}

{{main|Sultan cult}}

Of the four procedurally generated historic sites in each playthrough, two of those sites will always be associated with the period 4 sultan of the current world, and two of those sites will always be associated with the period 5 sultan of the current world.<ref name="AddSultanHistoryLocations" /> Each site will be inhabited by the members of the associated sultan's cult. This means that it is very likely for the player to encounter similar creatures in each pair of two related historic sites.

== Final Floor: Guaranteed Relic and Loot ==

Relics found on the final floor of a historic site will be generated either from the context of the location (zone) where the relic is found, or the full context of the encompassing historic site. For this reason, it is common for relics found in historic sites to be named after the historic site or the zone where they were found. In both cases, the relic will also be very likely to exhibit properties that are aligned with the historic site's sultan, because both the historic site and the locations within it are associated with the period of the sultan's reign, and inherit many of their qualities from the associated sultan.<ref name="AddSultanHistoryLocations" />

The cybernetics credit wedge reward is determined based on a numeric zone difficulty value that is either equal to the surface [[World_Map#World_Tier|world tier]] (if the zone where the relic chest is found is strata 5 or higher) or else based on the value '''2 + Floor((Depth - 6) / 5)'''.<ref name="RelicBuilder" />{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World|class=Zone|method=NewTier}}

This lore appears in a world with a historic site named "Salep Seminary", which has a floor called "Lustrousruin, Salep Simary" 1 strata underground. On this floor, a relic chest contains the {{qud shader|Y|Shiningacus Succulentswoe}} mentioned in the significant event above. This is not the only relic in the historic site - it continues downward and includes one other named location floor, as well as a final floor that includes another relic specific to this historic site (the {{qud text|&YT&Gh&Ye &GW&Yeigh&Gt&Yed Chai&Gn&Y o&Gf &YSal&Ge&Yp &GS&Yemin&Ga&Yry}}).
