Historic sites are locations of special relevance to a particular sultan's history. For example, a sultan may have lost an important relic at a historic site.
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 numeric world tier overlay.[1]
- One historic site for the sultan of period 5 will be located in a tier 0 or tier 1 map location, within 3-8 parasangs of Joppa. The location of this site can be revealed by interacting with the sultan shrine one zone north of Joppa or the ruins of Joppa.
- A second historic site for the sultan of period 5 will be located in a tier 2 map location.
- A third historic site for the sultan of period 4 will be located in a tier 3 map location.
- A final historic site for the sultan of period 4 will be located in a tier 4 map location.
Sultan and 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.[2] 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.
World Map Sprites
The following gallery exhibits each of the possible world map sprites that can be used by Historic site. Each sprite can have up to 196 random two-color combinations in game, using all of the Qud palette colors other than orange (O/o) and grey/black (K/k).[3] The image galleries below show only a small random sampling of possible colors for each sprite.
