    Sounds very similar to personomancy, then, only for objects and locations rather than people.
Or, I should say, personomancy sounds similar to it's predecessor, cliomancy. Previously, I would
have attributed an "historical value", made up of how relevant/important/fundamental a place or
object was to the course of human history, rather than how popular it was.
