I should probably actually vote at some point, huh.
[X] Panoramia, Hluodwica, and the Halflings
For all the valid reasons people have said but also introducing Eike to Pan sounds fun and I
do think she deserves some fun on this trip. Like, I'm pretty sure the original pitch of the idea was to give her a bit of a break from Wilhelmina's expectations and the 'learn about dwarves' bit was just the excuse we were giving.
[X] Francesco, Soizic, and the Undumgi
For actually learning to work with dwarves, it may be better to get multiple point of views on humans who work with them regularly- they'd have quite a bit of advice to give, I think. Mathilde on her own might get a bit... flight school. *
[X] Kazrik and the Dwarves of Karak Azul
And on the other hand, a bunch of very dwarfy dwarves who have been cut off from the outside world for longer than the empire has existed- while also being extremely open to new trade.
[X] Belegar Ironhammer
This would mostly be a 'making connections' thing. Belegar is... not terribly representative of the average dwarf Eike may be interacting with, but
knowing him is valuable in and of itself. Also it's just fun to introduce her to a king. No pressure though.
[X] Edda and the Cult of Valaya
For all the many valid reasons that have been given and also Edda deserves more screentime, and this may be her last chance for a while.
The We are... probably not a great idea, unfortunately.
We know they're cuddly cute spooders who are the best, but introducing an eleven year old to a hive mind of giant spiders mostly sounds like a recipe for trauma induced arachnophobia.
Same general thought for Cython, but with an added 'Cython would likely have zero interest in conversing with her'.
*"Just help reclaim a lost Karak and rescue another, that's what works for me so that's my advice."
