History and who has it

Made before recorded history.
At game start: a ruler the game picks — needs The Royal Court.

How it is made

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

effect create_artifact_pedestal_christian_relic_effect_hist = { OWNER = root }

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