On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

I am pretty sure we only earned the Legendary Deed, The Greed Slayer once.
 
Something to consider is that we've probably much less useful things to talk about with a mage focusing on Ghyran than on Aqshy, as we've literally not read the book.

No, before elven magi train to use Qhaysh, they must first master the eight lesser winds, iirc.

That is true, and after reviewing the Army Book it does seem that High Elf mages have a tendency to use all of the Lores of magic. Still, I doubt that any of the options to talk with are limited to one Wind or the other. I'd say it's fairly likely that they all have a decent knowledge of the Winds.

Is this the reply button supposed to say submit vote and reply?

As far as I am aware most elves don't focus on a single Wind. Most elf mages use Qhaysh, High Magic. I'm voting based on the Kingdom.

In the far future, some of the best elven wizards become archmages and learn to cast spells from multiple Winds after mastering at least one of the individual ones.

The great majority of elven spellcasters don't learn the Qhaysh method. Even the elves that do learn to cast from multiple Winds at the same time may predominantly use one Wind in their casting. A Qhaysh spell could just use two Winds of Magic, and there's nothing that says they have to be in equal proportion, so an archmage could specialise in, say, Hysh, and use a little bit of Ghyran added to their healing spells to more accurately focus the effect on living creatures, or a bit of Shyish to spells intended to purify things to focus on ending the contamination.

[X][Elgi]: A figure in a mix of scale and plate mail that smells of fire and soot.
[X][Purification]: Banner

If we can convince either the sea elf or the blacksmith of the quality of dwarven runeworks, there might be commissions coming from Ulthuan for masterworks.

But I hope that if we befriend the blacksmith, we can get an invitation to his estates in Caledor for a vacation of hunting beasties and seeing what a runesmith can do with them. It will be a roadtrip.

Still voting for those two. To add to the vote...

[X][Purification]: Weapon

I want to see what a weapon with either immense heat properties or anti-daemon properties does.

As others have already pointed out, I especially want to combine this with the insight we got into Gazul's thing. It was Fire, Ties, and Cutting.

And here, we have our own rune that is about purification (we think) and outputs a ton of heat.

If we were able to do the Gazul research too, might we be able to get a weapon that had heat and ties aspects? Then, all we'd need is to put a Cleaving rune on it, and we'd have something to offer homage to Gazul's own weapon, while also being a really good weapon.

MPurification, Ties, and Cleaving.

What a hell of a weapon that could be. Think of it, guys!

There's nothing to say that they can't have a specialty, so I'd presume each option has us focusing on one Wind in particular.

Do not care for the new voting system. Basically defeats the entire purpose, especially on mobile.

Hmm, after going over the books it does seem I was wrong.

This is a very, very, very, very long ways away. The House has yet to come to a decision of if elves are worthy of Runic works. There would have been an accounting over the Brana if Thungni hadn't said that it was cool with the Torque he have to the King of the Skies.

Legendary Deed: The Shadow Killer

Shadow Killer is the Deed for killing Kholek.

Also already stated by soulcake, the Dum stuff happened in a compressed time scape but timey-wimey shenanigans jumped them fuether in time. I suggest giving it either a rough range for the events, and then add the time jump, or lump the time jump along with the event itself into a range of time starting from mobilization.

Also lastly, maybe ask soulcake to give a rough estimate as to when the Gift Giver deed happened, since it is so pivotal to Snorri's whole character.

I'm aware, I have already fixed the second concern in my personal doc and I will get around to fixing the first.

The Gift Giver almost certainly happened before Snorri became a Runelord. I'd estimate it to be somewhere from 538 B.P. to 418 B.P. Now, that assumes that Snorri became an apprentice at 30. I think we'll get a firm year eventually. Like, we haven't been told when Snorri met his wife (or even her name), but I am quite certain both will eventually be revealed.

That was his "masterwork" for Yorri, so it had to have. He couldn't have been a Runelord before he was a Master.
 
And Snorri met his wife on his journeyman trials, so before his Gift Giver deed.

If we get a rough idea when he was accepted as an apprentice, we could sus out when the other stuff happens since character creation gives us a rough timeline

You would prove them correct, a journeyman in 20 years, a master in 60 and the vaunted rank of Runelord in only a short 180 years?

Huh, I wonder what her reaction to that was. We haven't seen much but she seems like she had a pretty good sense of humor just from how she handled Yorri's Yorriness.

This stuff always makes me curious about what would have happened if some of the other options had been chosen.

This seems like an awkward fit to me, because soul implied pretty strongly back at the very beginning that many of the first Drakk settlers were young adults who had been gifted toys from Snorri when they were children, and they certainly weren't 300-400 years old at the time drakk was founded. I suppose it's not impossible the colonisers were actually descendants of the original toy recipients, and had inherited the toys rather than receiving them from Snorri directly, but the early posts about a hold of the indebted young read pretty strangely together with a hypothesis that Snorri's first beneficiaries had grown old enough to be longbeards/elders.

Or maybe all the little chronological details weren't fully settled back in March 2020 and we're not supposed to try too hard to make all of this fit together seamlessly, idk.
