This gives me an opportunity to ask:

What counts as having "seen" an artifact, for the purpose of losing

list of 'known' artifacts")?

Identifying. If you have identified it it is then "found". Nothing
else matters. I think even pseudo-id as {artifact} isn't enough.

Thank you.

That's about what I was hoping for, since it's close to the best
possible criterion for my purposes, but I didn't really expect it to be
the case.

Back to the game - for the first time since I lost my third-best
character, about a week ago...
