Random question about artifacts

Shouldn't you get a passive bonus for owning an artifact? If you own 5 illustrious artifacts and can only display 4, you still own 5, people know that. I get you shouldn't get the entirety of the boons, but maybe 1/4 of it. It would incentivize people to gather more artifacts and repair ones when you have a multitude of them.
I'm probably crazy, but right now I have about 12 illustrious artifacts due to the tournaments, Some are in need of repair but I see no reason to spend 300 gold 8 times every 150 years for nothing

I think this is what court artifacts are for. If you're a bigger lord that people would know about, you can display some of your artifacts at court, and those artifacts everyone knows you have.

They are already, tours and tournaments is amazing if you have a good character.

Theres only so much space, but if you also own the toe of jesus(making that up), people would know and it would bring you a bit more prestige. Not as much as it would if it were displayed but still, people knowing you own it would bump you a bit.

Well as a minor note all green quality and lower artifacts can be destroyed for a minor gold gain, White is about 40, Green is about 80. So in an emergency they can serve as a banked source of gold.

I mean to be fair, for decades I had no idea the British royal family owned the most coveted and controversial diamond in the world. Many others did, of course, but it's possible that if I'm an English king, a duke in Sicily isn't gonna know that I have that toe.

We gotta keep in mind that information didn't travel back then quite like it does today. Most counts wouldn't really know or care what was going on outside their castle, apart from gossip about their peers at court.

I can see the logic in doing this within the realm or even a region, of course, but the tricky thing with artifacts is that it's reflected as prestige gain. Prestige climbs independent of things like region. Then again this is true of everything that increases prestige, so who knows? Maybe this is perfectly logical.

True, but thats why you shouldn't get the full perks, only 20 or 25%. Only a fraction of people would know about it, hence the fraction of boons

I made a religion that lets me destroy all tiers of artifacts. Immediately after my new ruler takes the throne, I can get them to max piety. It's also a steady steam of income. It's amazing.
