Symbol of conquest/prestige thing works but, in this case, i think it works only if used as something other than bedsheets. If mathilde had patches of the sheet dyed and turned into a battle standard or something everyone would indeed think "I made a battle standard out of the Von Carstein's silk bedsheets" was fuckin' sweet.

Honestly that'd be the sort of thing that was on it's way into being a mystical artifact.

That would work too, but I was more thinking on the whole "every night she sleeps on it", and being able to drop that fact in conversation.

You do have a point that we don't have to use them as bedsheets though. We can put Mathilde's personal crest on it or something and fly it over her fief.

Planning on playing the long game with our Library - build our prestige and use that to get access to sweet sweet books, rather than giving away the best books in exchange for some anonymous research bonus go up.
 
If Mathilde (or the thread as Mathilde) really wanted silk sheets right this instant, we'd have bought them as part of the many purchasing opportunities we've had over the years. We've held off so long because we want We silk, and I see no reason to change course now for some dubious bedsheets of vampiric origin.

Decorate a (poorly) hidden room in your tower/other place as a boudoir. If someone thinks they already know what you are trying to hide, they often don't look deeper. Might make keeping our secrets easier.

Stealing old sheets off the Von Carstein wedding bed is already kinda weird. Stealing Isabella Von Carstein's ancient used underwear and sex toys goes several steps beyond that and winds up in the realm of Slaanesh.
 
We literally live on the end node for the major trade route providing silks, we have the closest to easy access to silk someone in the Old World can have.
If we were willing to settle for anything other than We silk, we could just buy some perfectly non-corrupt silks whenever we want.
But I at least am not willing to do so.
 
My arguments for the silk sheets are these:
  1. They're free.
  2. Funny as it would be to continue to not have some, it would be neat to have them.
  3. This is magnitudes less terrible than the sheets the daemonette was on.
  4. We don't mock Johann for having Druchii silk sheets, do we?
  5. We can wash them.

this is the kind of collection that would be the basis for a sequel to the waystone project except for countering necromancy and undead, and one with a much better foundation to start with. Admittedly it would be much harder to find and recruit the right people who are reliable, competent and similarly inclined but hey Mathilde has good will out the wazoo from so many people.

Is Mathilde more or less safe from scrolls or books whose contents themselves have a corrupting influence? Not talking about enchantments placed on them or just the mundane temptation to use information you have.

Hmm the only thing that seems to be in contention seems to be the sheets. Really I am against it because of the vampire sex, I also hate twilight. Every other vote has a significant lead that we are giving money to the bog cult and getting all the books. I look forward to one day finding out what is inside of them because Boney is amazing at lore.

Alright, you've convinced me, I shall change my vote... in the morning when I wake up.

Setting up a room full of things to convince someone that infiltrates our home that we are some type of sex fiend, instead of hiding a bunch of books that will get us burned at the stake, is weird? Even if we have no intention of using any of it?

I suggested it as a security measure, not a weird sex thing. if anything that is more in line with the secrets keeper instead of the pervert. street magic uses the same principal. Watch what I want you to watch, not how I'm actually preforming the trick. Give an infiltrator something they think is something we are trying to hide and maybe they will stop looking as hard for the real secrets.

Don't wanna vote police, but if you want to give stuff to Manhorak's council this collection of votes doesn't actually seem to actually give them anything?

As in a donation to a charitable cause or church. Giving them the collection of books or loot feels a little excessive and I think they've already done pretty well with the prestige they gathered. However, I'd still like to give them something, as such if I remember on the next purchase vote I'll put them in and see if it goes anywhere.

I'm especially inclined on giving the money to Zhufbar here since Mathilde directly went to them and bringing back loot was brought up. We don't actually have to do it, but it seems like a good idea.

I don't just want silk sheets, I want interesting silk sheets. And while sheets spun from the silk of a group of sentient spiders—or however you properly classify the We—is interesting, once K8P starts actually producing silk, everyone who can get them will.

Ain't no one got Vlad von Carstein's silk bedsheets, and it would add to Mathilde's weird in ways nothing else would quite match.

On the other hand, they're sheets from her fantasies about hidden rooms where people do romantic things like magical research and hand holding!

And then she slept on it, which is weird. But that's Wizards, for you.

We do, in our head. But it comes from a place of love and jealousy.

Zhufbar is a dwarf hold and can make some elector counts look poor in comparison; I don't think they need the money.
