I'm certainly not betting on it. My point is merely that chaos isn't going to bet against it. Not when they can just try to kill us instead.

You make a lot of good points I hadn't given much thought, so I've added waystones back to my vote.
Sylvania too, come to think of it. People there are known to build their homes and towns on top of Waystones and leylines. It must be an absolute haven for mystery cults and Hedgewise activity. Their understanding of Waystones could be drastically better than anyone realizes.
Kind of makes me more inclined to take the Marksgraf job, though. Sort out their problems a bit, then examine their local network. Maybe find a way to fix damage the necromancers have done once the area is less of a warzone.
Even if that is the in quest reality (I think it would be quite a stretch to make them, but that we don't know nearly enough about what we'd end up finding out/gaining access to either way to state it would be impossible). That's not something potential opposition would be able to take on faith, if there's a global task force actively working on the issue, and they seem to be making progress. Then you have to consider hedging against the possibility they have a successful end game as well.

I am still very bitter, I just don't want to be vocal about it and bring down the thread. So I'll say no more about it.
Working with them and getting sh!t done behind their back despite their doing their best to remain 'pure' will be a new experience.
Belebro have our back and even the most traditionalist dwarf (Kragg) admit that we're 'not bad' ( the closest thing we can get to that guy giving us a bro hug and kissing both our cheek).
Our commando actions and shadow super weapon is both radical and works. Also most importantly, have no noticable negative impact, that Belebro's entire character change from a 'one of the' traditionalist dwarven king into what is
clearly a face of a new (youthfull) dwarven future.
I mean there hasn't been a Chaos interrupt yet, so unless we start to do something with them I doubt it will happen, you know provided we don't like go back into the wastes for some reason.

But we haven't even started yet? Like... the moment chaos gets wind that we are amking any progress we're going to get daemons. There's just no avoiding it. Chaos does not want someone figuring out how to repair, or worse create, waystones.

Presumably there will be opposition from Chaos, yes, though it's probably too early to say how focused on us it will be. At a more local level, clogged Waystones might have beastmen or cults or dark magisters etc using them- upsetting enough of those as we unclog might be how they begin to focus on us.

I think you are vastly overestimating how united Chaos is and how much danger they will be in from the Waystone Project.
While i don't doubt that their are those out their who would oppose our waystone reasearch, mainly chaos and beastmen, I doubt their as unitedas you state mate as if so humanity and the elves would have all fallen centuries ago.
Heck, Deiters rule should have been blood in the water yet it was neither the beast men or chaos coming knowcking on the door but green skins who had no idea on humanities shit emperor at the time.
Either way i doubt chaos or beast men are going to seek our death unless we go to them to get something related to waystones which may very well might be a possibility.

I'd prefer the LaL position because it would help us, if we want to, build up a more detailed knowledge of Dwarven holds. I guess if we went to the Kings of Barak Varr, Zhufbar and other 'friendly' holds, we would get a lot more info on the whole underground 'Grand Rituals'.
And we would be helping the Karaz Ankor, which is like the least pretentious and divided of all Order factions, and is admirably United against Chaos in a manner unseen amongst other races.
Barring that, the Waystone Project would also need us visit the very same holds to get some research done, while also getting help from the Eonir. But it might well put us up to visiting Athel Loren, and isn't that daunting? Less said about the world outside of the Old World, the better.

Alright, only 40 more pages of Boney's comments. I'm hoping his responses alone will give me a decent enough overview of the thread discussion throughout this Expedition. Too bad you can't get SV to display the full comment on search though. Would make this whole thing speedier.
I'm not that much a fan of waystones, but I have to question how exactly chaos really get wind of this. We're not exactly going to be raising a flag and shouting into the void about how we're doing waystone research. Likely we're only going to get 50 people working directly on the project and the vast majority will be super secretive elven archmages or super secretive dwarven runesmiths, and ultimately outside of dwarven gyrocopters news just doesn't travel very far or fast. Sure, eventually if we get to the stage of reactivating waystones chaos may try to interfere but likely not before that. sure the four are powerful they're not omniscient, likely the best info chaos agents get is that some elves and dwarves have been having meetings, Which is super wierd but doesnt immediately scream they're trying to fix the waystone network.
Disregard this entirely if Egrimm is a chaos cultist and we hire him

Is it wrong that I am imaging David Attenborough as the commentator.
Also this is why I am reading through all the pages

Agonizing over how long to hold out with one vote for my preferred voice and when to start doing an oppositional "literally anything but waystones, literally anything" vote.
