Historical Document is a type of Artifact.

Summary[ | ]

Historical Document is one of several types of Artifacts and it is a reward for opening Large Artifact Crates found in Ancient Ruins, completing missions, from containers found on Derelict Freighters, or completing exploration type expeditions with frigates.

Game description[ | ]

These are the possible game descriptions for Historical Document. One of the following is randomly chosen when an artifact is procedurally generated.

The sequence is taken from the game file.

Common[ | ]

  1. Approximately XXX years old.
    The paper is crumbling, the ink is fading. This may be the final opportunity anyone has to read this manuscript before time claims it for good.
  2. Approximately XXX years old.
    Written in an otherworldly script, this manuscript is covered with strange marginalia. Generations have added notes and diagrams to the original text, some of which are highly disturbing.
  3. Approximately XXX years old.
    The lettering is harsh and deeply carved. Whoever wrote this document left their emotions clearly engraved into the surface, regardless of the story the words are trying to tell.
  4. Approximately XXX years old.
    This document is handwritten, its lettering shaky and weak. Whoever wrote this spent a great deal of energy - perhaps their last - to commit their words to history.
  5. Approximately XXX years old.
    Though the cover has been competently printed, the internal lettering is crude and juvenile. Perhaps this was merely a practise sheet, an exercise to improve their writing?

Uncommon[ | ]

  1. Approximately XXXX years old.
    Several of these pages appear stained, though there have been some clumsy attempts to clean them, and the second half has clearly been written in a different hand to the first...
  2. Approximately XXXX years old.
    The original text of this document has been greatly altered. Entries have been crossed through, written over and even torn out, apparently by several different writers. Whatever was written here was hotly contested.
  3. Approximately XXXX years old.
    This document was carefully packed in its container, wrapped in paper to keep it free of stains. There is a small bundle of hair clipped to the inside cover.

Rare[ | ]

  1. Approximately XXXX years old.
    This manuscript is beautifully illustrated, with flowing calligraphy and dramatic, gilded illuminations. It is a work of exceptional artistry.
  2. Approximately XXXX years old.
    The text in this document does not seem to concern anything out of the ordinary. However, the letters themselves do appear to be written in blood.
  3. Approximately XXXX years old.
    This manuscript is full of small, delicate blemishes. Tiny crinkled circles litter every page, as if the paper has been stained by tears.
