Artifacts come in various categories, each with different effects. 'Crowns' and 'Regalia' boost prestige and opinion. 'Weapons' and 'Armor' enhance martial prowess and personal combat skill. 'Religious Artifacts' increase piety and faith-specific bonuses. 'Books' and 'Jewelry' can provide learning or diplomacy boosts. Each artifact has a 'Quality' (e.g., Common, Masterwork, Legendary) which determines the strength of its bonuses. Legendary artifacts are the most sought after.
