They may also be obtained as traded [[secret]]s 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. | ||

The first historic site for the fifth period sultan will always be located between 3 and 8 parasangs of {{favilink|Joppa}}. The location of this site can be revealed by interacting with the sultan shrine one zone north of {{favilink|Joppa}} or the {{favilink|Ruins of Joppa}}. The second historic site for that sultan will always lie within 30 parasangs of {{favilink|Joppa}}; this restricts the site from spawning in the [[hills]] on the right side of the map. | |||

Relics of the first kind typically are named after a significant event in the sultan's life. The relic is more likely to exhibit properties aligned directly with the sultan and the particular event in question. This type of relic is described in more detail in the [[#Location-based Strata and Relics|Location-based Strata and Relics]] section below. | |||
Relics of the second kind are commonly named after the historic site or the zone where they were found. These relics will 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" /> | |||

Two for the fifth period sultanate, and two for the fourth period sultanate. | |||
