[UA] Question about Cliomancy

[Robin Pfeifer]

Hi all,

here's a question about Cliomancy: it's supposed to be history-based magic.
Why does it concern itself solely with places and not, for instance,
artifacts?

An example: The Egyptian Museum of Berlin, Germany, as a place is moderately
well-known at best in the populace. The building pales in comparison with
its immediate surroundings, so a Cliomancer's best bet is possibly to just
cross the street to Palais Charlottenburg. But the museum houses the famous
bust of Nofretete, and this alone, I think, should generate at least a
significant charge a day. And if it were loaned to another museum or toured,
it would take that charge with it. So if Cliomancy is based on history, why
is exclusive value given to places?

Robin
