Effects

Also gets random bonuses when it is made, from add_scaled_artifact_modifier_rulership_effect — the bigger ones at higher rarity.

For an owner who can't benefit from it

The template gives these instead of the effects above when its “can benefit” check fails:

Who can benefit (can_benefit) (11 lines of game script)
OR = {
	culture = {
		has_cultural_pillar = heritage_west_germanic
	}
	culture = {
		has_cultural_pillar = heritage_goidelic
	}
	culture = {
		has_cultural_pillar = heritage_brythonic
	}
}

History and who has it

  • Made on 841.6.1 for Cináed Ailpin in Scone.
  • Kept with the title Scotland from 858.1.1.
  • At game start: the holder of Scotland — needs The Royal Court.

How it is made

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

effect create_artifact_throne_scone_effect = { OWNER = root }

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