Description summary:
The success description varies by 
Object of Historical Study.
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| 100-130, 230, 240, 300, 320, 500 | Is it any wonder that in the Neath, currency is as old as human habitation? The Bazaar is much more than a market; but it is a market. |

| 220 | First City coins have been found as far afield as Port Carnelian, suggesting that commerce between the Falling Cities and the Elder Continent is ancient. Did they trade with the Presbyterate? A precursor state? Something else entirely? |
| 400 | A myth about Nicator's life claims that he briefly ruled the First City as a regent while the Masters were otherwise occupied. He brought with him 77 talents of silver from the Elder Continent, from which First City coins were struck. |
