You need to sacrifice income from a very large province for that but its still cheaper, easier more efficient than spreading out.
A didn't have blood discount sites but had one with devil summoning. As for the artifacts, I had the teleport items, aegis a score of the 'junk' uniques + flailing hands and some other booster. Captured barrier, the ivy king hat and the bracers from you. But I didn't have the chalice, I think TNN had that
