Ranald said he didn't want us investigating him, so if we want to pursue divine studies, best to go for a different god.

I was thinking of doing it with our regular money, really. For Loec at least. It's more Mathilde's personal interest in figuring out whether the dragon thinking Ranald was him had any merit.
As I recall, that was purely looking at his divine energy in an attempt to figure out Theurgy. My interest is only tangentially related at best. I would be surprised if he didn't want Mathilde to know more about him in a general sense. They are friends after all.

I like your thinking.
Although the 22 Elvish gods at 50g per God would be a whopping 1100 gold for a wide but shallow spread of knowledge.
We only have around 4,000+ of the things (comes to a bit more than that due to the strength of the Dwarven gold crown, mind).
Plus we owe 2,000 gold to the Fork-beard, not that I expect that payment to come due.
And I'm not entirely sure how to make more, to be honest. Like... enchanting Magister Lord-level stuff for nobles? How... pedestrian.

The ones most relevant to the Eonir then: Isha, Asuryan, Hekarti, Hoeth, Ladrielle, and Ulric. 300 gold is pretty affordable.

I finished Forges of Nuln. Final impression is that I'm quite certain the author is a mysoginist. Lots of wasted potential in the story, I wouldn't recommend anyone reading past the setting parts. The adventure sucks.
I'm getting into Terror in Talabheim and it's already better:
"In order to subsidise Talabheim's three public orphanages, the city has continued to levy a small tax on poultry that is bought or sold within the city or in outlying Taalagad. The tax only applies to the sale of living animals, and most merchants get around it by twisting the neck of the fowl in question just prior to making a sale (often while uttering, "For the orphans!")."
Hm? Oh right, the vote. Uh:
[X] [LIBRARY] Back-fill.
Opinion is likely to change later.

Honestly we usually gather it through the Open World Protagonist method, aka killing and/or ransacking people we don't like. I don't think we've... hell even back when we were working for Abelheim we were skimming some gold off the top. She gave back the taxes from her territory. I suppose if it doesn't involve some level of violence or illegality she's not really interested

I don't understand. The merchants use a loophole to get around paying a tax, a tax which is used to pay for orphanages, so if they're not helping orphans, why utter "for the orphans" at the same time?
Some rough breakdowns that might be useful:
Big Four: Asuryan, Kurnous, Isha, Khaine. The ones worshipped as head of the pantheon by one of the Elven realms.
Major Cadai: Asuryan, Kurnous, Isha, Hoeth, Vaul. The more important of the 'nicer' Gods.
Major Cytharai: Khaine, Hekarti, Atharti, Ereth Khial, Morai-Heg. The more important of the 'less nice' Gods.
Patron Gods of Ulthuan: Asuryan, Kurnous, Isha, Hoeth, Vaul, Ladrielle, Loec, Mathlann. The most prominent Gods of Ulthuan.
Patron Gods of Laurelorn: Asuryan, Isha, Vaul, Hoeth, Hekarti. The most prominent Gods of Laurelorn.

Wouldn't Ladrielle be up there with them? One of the major houses dominates her worship.
Every House has a Patron in that manner, I just listed the ones with multiple Houses or who were otherwise significant. The full list would be: Asuryan, Kurnous, Isha, Hoeth, Vaul, Drakira, Eldrazor, Hekarti, Atharti, Mathlann, Morai-Heg, Ladrielle, Lileath, Ellinill, Ulric.
Books on Hoeth or Verena would cover library science. It doesn't currently exist in a secular context.

Not if you're getting them in Eltharin. Tor Lithanel has a lot of literate unemployed.

Oh. I thought we were offering money for someone to do this in their spare time, not that we'd be giving someone an actual job to do this for us. Well, that makes sense. I think there was some sort of figure where it would take a full 100 working days for a single scribe to copy a single book. Well, assuming the book had about as many words as the Bible.

...Could we hire some elves full time for scribe duties? Definitely wouldn't be cheap, but as long as they know the relevant languages, it should be workable, if not as good as native translation.
There's not a lot of Reikspiel among Tor Lithanel's lower classes. What few studied it before recent events started unfolding are now working for the Major Houses.

Backfill has an early lead, but a more focused purchase seems more relevant right now than a random smattering of topics: The elvish perspective on Laurelorn geography, their history, and elvish society, plus the most popular of our new friends' patron gods.

So these, plus Loec for personal reasons, would run us a cool 300 crowns. Not that much, honestly - I'll make a vote for it for people to copy if they're so inclined.

We could withdraw our fief money, for one. It would be a small cash infusion, but it wouldn't be nothing.
For less negligible gains, we could grow the EIC. It already gives us 175 crowns per turn, but if we set them up with Laurelorn trade contacts we could probably grow that number a non-negligible amount. That's not the only thing we could do for more EIC money, but we could probably use that to earn some more influence in Laurelorn somehow, so it seems like it might be worth working towards.
Or if we were looking for lump sums, we could visit some Vampires for enthusiastic walks. Looting the Enemies of man is always a good time. Alternatively, we could finally experiment with Windherder with the intent of selling our products through our existing contacts, get some practice with a long-neglected skill and earn some money at the same time.
Or we could skip the middleman and just rob Marienburg's libraries. We have a shiny infiltration trait and everything, we could swing it.

Loseblattsammlung!
The scariest german word in libraries.
Google tells me it's Loose Leaf Collection in english.
It's basically something libraries have (and had much more of before the dawn of the internet), for law-compilations and other constantly updated things.
Whenever things changed or were added the publisher sends the library new pages and instructions like (replace page 231 with this, remove page 452 completly) and so on.
Making these exchanges was and sometimes still is one of the most annoying works you can do in a library.
It would fit perfectly for meticolous, perfectionist and patient dwarves.
