== Guaranteed Relics and Loot == | |||
Each historic site will have a guaranteed relic chest on its bottom floor. The chest will contain one or more {{favilink|cybernetics credit wedge|plural}} depending on the [[zone tier]] of the historic site zone where they are found.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.ZoneBuilders|class=PlaceRelicBuilder|name=RelicBuilder}}, as well as a procedurally generated relic based on the combined properties of the historic site itself and the properties of the sultan, such as the sultan's favored factions and [[sultan themes|themes]]. | |||
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}} | |||

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. | 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.

For this reason, a snippet of sultan lore might say something like "While traveling through <historic site name>, <sultan> visited <location>". Occasionally, those locations can also include relics of importance to the sultan. For example, consider the following bit of sultan lore: | ||
