Object Definitions
The game's object definitions live in %game directory%\CoQ_Data\StreamingAssets\Base\ObjectBlueprints.xml.
These object definitions may be extended or replaced via an ObjectBlueprints.xml file placed in your mod's root directory, %appdata%\Caves of Qud\Mods\[your mod name]\ObjectBlueprints.xml.
If an object attribute Load="Merge" is supplied, the data will merge with any existing definition, otherwise the object definition will replace the named object entirely.
Example ObjectBlueprints.xml that merges a new color into Ctesiphus's blueprint:
<objects>
<object Name="Ctesiphus" Load="Merge">
<part Name="Render" ColorString="&B"></part>
</object>
</objects>
Component System
For an introduction to the component system used to define objects in Caves of Qud, check out this introductory presentation Brian Bucklew did at IRDC 2015:
Adding the object to encounters
Once you've created your item, check out this page for information on how to introduce it to dynamic encounters: Encounter and Population Modding
