History and who has it

  • Made on 527.4.1 for Justinian Iustinianus in Constantinople.
  • Kept with the title Byzantine Empire from 565.11.14.
  • At game start: the holder of Byzantine Empire — needs The Royal Court.

How it is made

The game creates it with the scripted effect create_artifact_pedestal_justinian_effect. In the console (how to open it), this gives it to the character you play:

effect create_artifact_pedestal_justinian_effect = { OWNER = root }

Built from the effect's file; not run in the game by us.
