This should be it.A peek at something that might become significant in the long term:
There is a candidate behind each question mark. Over time you might hear about distant events that could indicate who they are and how they're going.
I believe Boney told us after Mathilde killed him.

But also, chaos dude, went on a trip in the warp, came back and started performing a ritual of dedication, and ultimately started mainlining chaos juice.
I'm all for celebration, but I think Boney has the right of it: Grey Magisters tend to do things they never publicly get credit for, priming Eike to understand and internalize this isn't a terrible idea. Mathilde's an outlier in how she's the most public Grey Magister around.
While that is really cool, nothing says that we have to leave all that gold there in the meantime.
I'm totally gonna vote "go even further" and refine the guard bypass.
Ah yes, the good old "The waste from this street went to their well and everyone there got cholera, but the waste from the other street went away from their well and only one out of ten got cholera. Maybe its related!". I admit i forgot how much the 17th onward (and particularily 19th century) did for elementary hygienic practices.
Not really, but I've found that decelerating 'intent' can be helpful for the QM.
maybe there are runes that could help with specifically training, though mostly is just to make sure we don't end up in the same situation that we are trying to prevent by getting the sword, ie having a cool sword for combat, but that is too buff to safely use for sparing.
The issue is that we get to use all their relevant books already for Waystone stuff, so buying books from the Eonir solely helps our personal projects, but most of our personal projects are magical things that cover subjects the Eonir won't let us have for non-Waystone uses because they don't want to enhance the military capabilities of a polity with which they might be at war sometime in the next few decades, if things go badly.
So... which subjects, specifically, are both "useful for Mathilde to have" and "things the Eonir will let us have"? Because we can just buy those with cash from the PURCHASE section, we don't need to use the (relatively inefficient) LIBRARY option for the Eonir.
I figured that making it clear that the primary purpose of the weapon was "for training the style" and not "for a weapon someone will bring into the field" would either alter nothing (if the dwarves make training weapons to the same standards as field combat weapons) or ensure that we had, like, compatible blade guards or whatever so it can be used safely. We're not intending to bring it into the field, but I didn't want to micromanage and say "with blade guards" or "with blunted edges" or whatever, so I just wrote "for training" and trust Mathilde to translate that into whatever in-universe requests will allow her to use it in the way we want to use it.
I'll probably vote for going further, too - some of these rolls with Branulhune have not been ideal and conventional wisdom of investment vs rewards suggests it'll be worthwhile.
Doing that kind of massive project would likely caught a lot of attention. Its best protection is precisely the fact that it's so unremarkable and banal.
