Pedestal Item artifacts cannot be created this way. While an artifact is created various events can take place, allowing the ruler to pay further to produce a higher quality artifact. Doing so will also change an artifact's effects.ĪI rulers will never go to war over a Common artifact.Ĭreating artifacts Īrtifacts can be created via the Commission Artifact decision, which allows a ruler to choose what type of artifact it wants created and costs 100 Gold. When reforging an artifact its owner will always have the option to turn it into a Pedestal Item artifact if it's not one already. Reforging an artifact costs Gold but will replenish its Durability. Durability loss can be reduced by employing an antiquarian, which also enables artifacts to be reforged.

All artifacts have a quality rating that determines their Durability.Īll artifacts will lose 1 Durability each year except for artifacts displayed in the royal court. If a non-historical artifact is inherited by someone who is not a close family member it will also lose Durability. When it reaches zero the artifact is destroyed. More importantly, artifact claims allow the claimant to use the Artifact Claim War casus belli.ĭurability and reforging QualityĪll artifacts have a Durability, which represents the integrity of the artifact.

Having a claim allows a character to demand the return of their artifact although accepting requires sufficiently superior military strength. All house heads will have a claim on the Dynasty Banner of their dynasty. If an artifact is lost during a siege its previous owner will gain a claim on it.

This will grant +20 Opinion if the receiving character can use the artifact and +5 Opinion if it cannot. Each court can display up to 15 artifacts: 3 large wall ornaments, 3 small wall ornaments, 2 pieces of furniture, 2 book items, 4 pedestal items, and a throne.Īrtifacts may be given as gifts to other characters.
