== Location Names == | |||
Whenever an underground floor of a historic site has a name other than "liminal floor", that name represents a location that is part of the generated history. The location will be one that existed during the period of the sultan associated with this historic site, though it may or may not be a location that is explicitly mentioned in the significant events of the sultan's life.<ref name="AddSultanHistoryLocations" /> Historic sites are often conceptualized as "regions" within sultan lore, and those regions can contain one or more specific locations. For example, consider the following bit of sultan lore: | |||
{{qud quote|In 1764 BR, Ylepater won a decisive victory against the combined forces of Seminary District Salep at the bloody Battle of the Hamlet of Birsivuh, though he lost his prized {{qud shader|Y|Shiningacus Succulentswoe}} during the course of the conflict. As a result of the battle, the Hamlet of Birsivuh was so bristling with carnivorous geodes that it was renamed Lustrousruin.}} | |||
This lore appears in a world with a historic site named "Salep Seminary", which had a floor 1 strata underground called "Lustrousruin, Salep Simary". On this floor, a relic chest was found which contained the {{qud shader|Y|Shiningacus Succulentswoe}} mentioned in the significant event above. This was not the only relic in the historic site - it continued downward and included one other named location floor, as well as a final floor that included another relic (the {{qud text|&YT&Gh&Ye &GW&Yeigh&Gt&Yed Chai&Gn&Y o&Gf &YSal&Ge&Yp &GS&Yemin&Ga&Yry}}) and a legendary sultan cult leader. | |||

While each floor of a historic site has a chance to be named based on particular locations mentioned in a sultan's history, the exact number of named and unnamed floors will vary depending on the particular sultan's history and the number of locations associated with the historic site region.<ref name="AddSultanHistoryLocations" /> | |||
