How many different achievements or titles merited their own coin?
I could see Settra going a bit crazy with it, but a single "gold standard" of a coin design at the start that it returned to at the end, with everything in the middle being considered, by Settra, temporary insanity on the Nehekarans' part would also be in character.

Maybe something along the lines of what was done with state quarters, where each coin had the same basic design, composition, and weight, but the face opposite of his changed designs each minting cycle?

Interesting thing to consider, spell creation on the theory crafting side used Sevir or knowledge of all the winds of magic, it wasnt until we tried to pin things down that we used only the Ulgu library portion.

So I definetly think we should look into expanding our library on those fronts though im not sure how easy it would be to do so.
 
Given that Mathilde will be incommunicado for a bit of time, I'm for touring Stirland and giving a thorough once over, something like Stirland/Kasmir/fief (titles come with reponsabilities). Not Roswita because apparently that's a romance path, so maybe Belegar instead, to see how heavy the crown hangs upon his brow?

Did he unlive long enough that they just forgot and started repeating themselves?

Edit: I only just now got the whole "staff of mist-ery" thing...

Modern Nehekhara has what you could call a closed economy, so it's not really known what they're doing with coins these days.

Probably once for King of Khemri, once for King of Nehekhara, and once for conquests.

We've maxed out both of them with what's currently available to us. The only means of expansion I can think of is elf books of magic; books of magic are restricted access, so we'd need to 1) be in good standing with 2) a civilization whose language we can read 3) that writes books about magic. We've exhausted all the Imperial books, and the dwarves don't have rare books on Sevir for us to acquire. So I think our best bet is the elfternship.

I'm very proud of that one.

I really really don't think the goats need Mathilde staring at them. People keep referring to the fief as our responsibility, it's not. We are investing 100% of the profits back into the place which is unreasonably generous and is only something we can afford to do because the fief is so insignificant to Mathilde. The people living on those hills have no expectation of seeing Mathilde nor should they.

but I like seeing what the lad who learned numbering does with the money :)

it was such a fun read the last time :D
 
Disappointed that Boney doesn't give Settra the respect he deserves by listing even a big fraction of his titles :rolleyes2:

Also, the problem I mentioned a week ago or so has arisen
@BoneyM what happens if more than one Romance vote wins spots in top 4? Is that interpreted as voters wanting a harem even though voters don't seem to want to have a harem? Or do we have a subvote of some kind? As far as I can tell, avoiding awkwardness with one or more characters is going to be nearly impossible unless the various Romance-interested voters somehow agree on a clear favorite.

"One common Tilean tale called The Doom of Kavzar states that the city was destroyed after they constructed a large tower, and a stranger offered to complete it and crown it with a huge bell. When the bell rang out 13 times, rain fell constantly and rats roamed the streets."
"The city was long ago destroyed and fell into ruin, and it is now the site of Skavenblight."

Subvote as to whether Mathilde is trying to double-dip or playing the field. Worst case scenario, an "it's not you, it's me" talk after a date or two wouldn't be the end of the world.

Mathilde can approach multiple people romantically at once if she wants to.

It is unlikely to go well unless we by sheer coincidence target only people who both want polyamorous relationships and to be in said relationships with each other, but we can, in theory, try.

BoneyM doesn't make trap votes, but that does not protect the thread from dumb decisions. I should know, I often champion them

People more knowledgeable than me about Warhammer lore have mentioned that this might be Ranald in another guise. Me, I'm looking at this and wondering if this is actually a depiction of a Wisdom Asp - IIRC Nehekhara had some of the earliest human magical traditions (even if they got jumbled up with divine rather than arcane energies), which means they'd have a bunch of spellcasters attracting apparitions of one sort or another (and would likely be the source of the first mythoses that apparitions ended up being based off of).

Not necessarily; "arc" relationships, where two people are both involved with the same person but are not involved with one another, are pretty common triadic arrangements, though the closed triangle is the one that gets more press.

I know this is going to come up a lot, so to head it off here: Please don't refer to polyamorous relationships like this. It has some severely unpleasant implications wrt to consent and equality in the relationship.

Thank you, yes, beat me to it. Gonna quote what I said in a different quest:
picklepikkl said:
Polyamory in real life is basically never the "harem" model; the sorts of harems you see in fiction have as much to do with plural relationships IRL as heterosexual porn has to do with real-life heterosexual relationships. I'm involved with four people at varying levels of seriousness; all of them are dating other people besides me or each other. This has zero resemblance to a harem; insofar as anyone is the "center" of a harem in my relationships, it's definitely not me.

EDIT: OK, moratorium's up, I have edited X's into my earlier effortpost, time to sever myself from the Internet and go to bed.
