Crown of Darkness

Plague hits, kills about 1/2 of the populace, i think 50+ death gems - but an obscure reference to a 'Crown of Darkness' in the province?

Is this just flavor text or is there now a site that can be uncovered?

Hrrrnk. In the Linux binary, 'Crown of Darkness' appears in the midst of the list of sites, so it seems possible. I've never had that event, 'tho.
If it's an actual site, you should be able to figure out what it does by making a tiny map with it as a knownfeature.

Hmm i need to figure it out exactly before the next server turn in the Net Server game im in

. Yea, it happened in my capital. Oh the joy.

How do i fix a particular magic site to a province in the editor? Notepad time?

'k, I got home and checked it out using a mini map designed by Gandalf.

(using --
#setland 2
#knownfeature "Crown of Darkness"
)

It's a Death site, not a low-level one judging from the picture, which gives a 40% Thaumaturgy bonus, 3 death gems per turn, and spreads deadly diseases.

Excellent work friend, saved me a lot of time. Those Death Gems will come in handy, although i might have to relocate my researching crew to an adjacent castle. Well, it was nice having a capital

As mentioned, the Crown of Darkness is an actual magical site, but I don't think it has appeared in your province because of that random event: It's just a rumor.

Eh, it should be clear soon enough from diseasing... although if you have a single death mage, Dark Knowledge is cheap, and apparently if you cast it from the same province you can check this without breaking your domes.

Well checking with both an Unholy 5 and Dark Knowledge has still left this site unfound. So im unsure if its capable of being found at all. I guess ill have to rustle up an Acashic with Ctis somehow in the distant future.

It's a Death site requiring a magic skill of 4 Death.

Yea but doesn't Dark Knowledge count as Death 9? I've searched with D.K. and haven't found anything yet.
