Just to make sure there's no confusion here, Clan Skryre's army they sent to kill Mors was destroyed, Clan Skryre itself almost certainly still exists.

To add to this if we also decide to make them into scribes it will synergize even more, especially when they eventually split into another We colony as it will result in a colony of scribe spiders ready to be used for a variety of purposes at varying locations.
Perhaps they could, though I'm skeptical. I do not think they could do so unopposed however.
Any raider short of a Black Arc yes. Which clearly shows it knew how to pick its fights. A boat vs. a Dragon is an incredibly favorable matchup for the Dragon.

Would anyone mind if I spitballed a few ideas for Battle Altars/luminarchs? They sound fun

Not at all, personally I can imagine a Grey altar basically dropping Penumbral Pendulums on people every so often.
Probably just time unless you want to instil something exotic, Mathilde will set up teachers and trainers if needed as part of the current action.
Cython was there after the Elves left but before the Arabyans settled the islands and built their magic school there, so it can't really add headmaster to its resume.
I don't have a problem with it.
Well a Grey Altar that's basically continually overcasting Rite of Way would be really fitting.
Put it on one of the big Dwarf war-wagons and watch as mobility doubles.

Emotional support human?
I think they could hire a human for PR reasons, though that would be sad. As giant spiders are very cool.
Where in the world is giant laser dragon~
So of the top three my guess of their biggest selling points would be
Cython: Best for getting the absolute most amount of information inside the library. Via their personal stash, and getting easier access to other institutions.
The We: Best for library upkeep. By being the We
Locals: Best for getting the quickest buyin for library usage by residents.

They raised some (eight?) of their children there, which probably includes magic, so technically speaking, there arguably was a (highly exclusive) magic school there with Cython as headmaster.
I'm not going to pretend that this 'kills it' for me, I don't want the WE to start with, so that would just be a bald-faced lie.
but as I voted for the Library so that Humans, Dwarfs and Halflings (and Dragons and elves?... and ya, the odd WE drone even if that doesn't seem possible without them taking over anymore.) would work together in nerd harmony: it would be very painful for that aspect to just go up in smoke because a super-hive mind doesn't need to 'help'.
'Locals' is my number one as technically it still leaves the door open for any of the groups. (e.g a local Cult of Verena can grow in K9Ps and a member joins or a Runescribe or an Enoir on a long and weird scholarship etc.)
Cython seems like he would be super picky with the staff, but that still leaves a broad base of people to pick from a small number from.
and I guess Cult of Verena, just because they are very good at the job.

The We are also really good for security. Hard to pretend to be part of a hive mind even if you happen to be able to shapechange.

Tbh thats incredibly underwhelming. Grey Battle Altar would most likely be some kind of clock that casts penumbral pendulum.

Also, if an emperor dragon wants to put "school headmaster" into their CV, whether they ever were one or not, who is going to argue?

You know I wonder how much of a flex it would be if the We (assuming they are scribes) figured out how to make silk parchment (which was historically used for writing by royalty due to cost) and just started using that for the books they scribe. Would be one ultimate flex for the library considering the cost of anything written on silk parchment.
Actually on that note @Boney would it be harder or easier to produce silk parchment from the We compared to fabric silk?

And almost impossible to bribe to do anything that might harm the library, because the library would be almost part of them.
I think the We are probably the best security wise, but between Cython probably having some unique offerings and picking staff with a security focus I don't think the difference is likely massive enough to be a big selling point for them over Cython.

You know this is kinda strange to me, Paranoth is like the only wizard that has this kind of appelation be normally used by everyone. Mathilde's got some titles, but none of them seem to be used uniformly by everyone. So sad, i wish for this kind of clout.
The price of silk in the Old World means it hasn't occurred to anyone to try it.
Yes, sorry, I was aware that Clan Skrye has most of its clan outside of K8P, I just didn't make that very clear.

Also trying to sneak in would be like playing a stealth game with every enemy sharing their detection cones. If one spots you then very quickly the entire place will know you are about and roughly where you are.
Huh interesting, I hope if we make the We scribes that the idea might occur to someone. It would be hilarious flex to be able to gift people books made with silk parchment.
i actually like the we as a choice. im a bit aprehesious about people not liking giant spiders but im guessing that if their there long enough they would get a reputation and people might relax.
actually how is the silk thing going? when do we get our sheets i mean?
So Cython or the WE?
