Description summary:
The success description varies by Object of Historical Study.

ObjectDescription
100Evidence of the War in Parabola is inherently scarce, […]. Those objects retrieved from the Moulin Waste, […] are sufficiently inert to be studied and catalogued, […] one has to resort to the dream-interpretation technique of one Dr. Schlomo.
110If Devils once lived in Parabola, one must ask where they entered it from. Elsewhere in the Neath? An altogether more distant shore? Nevertheless, evidence of their passage can be found, if one is willing to be sufficiently broad-minded[...]
120[…] located in Parabola, its environment is strikingly distinct from other regions of the land behind mirrors. […] Viric emanations are only found in the borderlands of Parabola […] evidence interactions between Parabolan powers and the world of the Is.
130Some of the Viric-tinged articles found in the Moulin Waste are undoubtedly of Forth City manufacture, originally, and often connote high status[...] the relationship this implies between the rulers of the Fourth City and the land of shallow sleep.
210 - 240, 300 - 320, 400, 500Oneiro-Chemical examination of the items […] confirms that they are […] tinged with Viric. It is unclear by what process this is done […] but the present Monograph presents several hypotheses as to their role as evidence in Parabolan Historiography.
