Description summary:
The success description varies by 
Object of Historical Study.
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| 100 - 120, 210 - 240, 300, 500 | The Fourth City, and its end, cast a long shadow. Even if unconsciously, every Londoner knows the fate that awaits the Fifth City […] Maybe that's why they pay so dearly for every bottle of airag, why they watch so intensely for every Khaganian ship […] |
| 130 | The Fourth City trapped Many-Fingered Kings behind mirrors and tortured them for information: the rulers of the Is-Not […] know all […] about the Is. But as the Khaganians today say, 'there is no greater curse than knowledge you cannot verify.' |
| 310 | It is undeniable that the Many-Fingered Kings drove the Fourth City to war with Hell. Was it an attempt to free themselves? Pure malice directed at the City, or at Hell itself? And that begs the question: What drove London to war? |
| 320 | One of the great questions in Fourth City history is whether the departure of the Great Khan led to the City's decline, or whether the City's decline provoked the departure of the Great Khan. Khaganian sources will claim one or the other […] |
| 400 | It is claimed that Nicator once rode into the Fourth City on a seventy-seven-legged horse made of sapphires, which so impressed the Khan that he was made Custodian of the Royal Stables. |

Novelty!
Just because you have new evidence doesn't mean you have new things to say. Which isn't to say that such things can't quite simply be manufactured.
