Excerpts from muddev: 30-Oct-99 [MUD-Dev] historians by Matthew

I've never actually done this, so this is just speculation on my part...
In the real world, historians disagree about what really happened, and
arguing about this is part of being a historian. Of course, any
individual will tend to see things from "their" side of things. So as
an IC-ish thing, I think multiple historians wouldn't be a bad idea,
especially if some events are described from multiple points of view.
If you have kingdoms or religious groups, perhaps these could appoint
their own "official" historians..
