You're wrong to worry about a lot of libraries being Scrollbearer aligned, but for the sake of argument, let's that most libraries are indeed Scrollbearers - we still want the Lorekeepers. The Lorekeepers are closely allied to the Order of Mysteries who we know are organised by the priest in charge of the Great Library of Altdorf, so it's quite likely that the biggest Verenan library in the Empire belong to the Lorekeepers. Let the Scrollbearers keep their many libraries (which I need to emphasise they don't actually have) - we have the biggest one.
A lot of institutional libraries were indicated to behave like Scrollbearers, even if they aren't Verenans. Their rare books are their claim to prestige.
They would be nuch harder to get on board if openly affiliated with an order that seeks to spread them
Sure try to trick the cult of an ancestor god. You know, if you want to go slayer, you don't need to be this elaborate about it.
Jokes aside, the fact that theres a custom for the crowd to promptly
not be is a strong indicator that it happens often enough.
Less trick, more guilt trip for the good of the clan.
This is important if a suitor the clan likes but the Bride does not wins the gifting round
While I understand what he's saying, surely he should understand that all the routes he suggested are subpar compared to Marienburg? The River of Echoes is a highly flawed trade route thanks to being so narrow that specialised boats have to be made, and it can't carry large cargo. Land travel is inherently more dangerous, unreliable and slower/less efficient in terms of cost vs cargo capacity than water travel. Marienburg's geography is vital to how it can maintain itself as the most optimal trade route to the Empire. If Marienburg cut off all trade to the Empire, the Empire would starve (though that might change with the new canals). It wouldn't be able to supply itself with the other methods it suggested because it's just too damn big for those inefficient methods of trade. I'm sure he knows this.
Think from the Marienburg perspective.
They don't care about the ability to service Imperial trade, but rather their profitability.
And they'd continue to profit because of trade friendly policies, skilled logisticians and other services.
He's definitely downplaying the importance of geography however. But then he's well aware of how much earthmoving is needed to even get to even ground with their natural advantages. Barring Act of Slann its not happening
I don't think we'd need to clear out the Iron Orcs to get the Damsels help, I think that identifying what's up with them and wrecking the place that's making their chaos armour would be enough and something Mathilde has the tools to do.
Boney clairified. Its both.
We need to demonstrate some results then take care of the orcs occupying their attentions
