So, let's see...

[] [ITHILMAR] Trade Goods
[X] [ITHILMAR] Books, primarily restricted books on magic with everything else secondary.

Both are good, but books is probably a bit better because of opportunity cost.

Obligatory.

Witch Hunters ain't gonna bully themselves, y'know.

[X] Sarvoi

I tried to use Old World Armoury having both the average income for peasants and the price of flour to figure out how much land a peasant should have to make that much money, but then I noticed that the cheapest flour is 13 shillings a pound but the bread that a pound of flour turns into costs two pennies, so I gave up.
Ah yes, MMO pricing. Flour is valuable because it lets you grind up your cooking skill, but that leaves you with a bunch of useless bread to dump on the market.
Also, on Mandred - Heidi has presumably been raising him as a secret Ranaldite to some degree. Hysh, the wind of honesty and revealing secrets, may not be a great fit for that alone.
On the other hand, that makes Hysh wizards especially trustworthy. It means we'd be able to give him to our good friend Egrimm with confidence he'd have a good upbringing. :D

The military only books are a pretty good sell to me, although it's also true that we are already copying a lot of the books there - mind selling me on it further?

Edit: New wordings for consolidation

You know what is funny about the Trade Good option, assuming one is an optimist about Mathilde's lifespan it is maximizing monetary profits. No matter how large the up front payout is a large increase to EIC profits will always pay out more.
 
They can also feed into lakes and the like and just end up nowhere. But that was never the main point of the most.

That's not how geography works. All rivers flow into the sea, they don't just end up "nowhere". And that map of the rivers posted further up the thread? That's actually just a map of a single river system (the Reik), not every river in the Empire. I'd argue that 70% of the Empire is near a river of some sort, and the 30% that isn't is uninhabited wilderness. Practically every settlement in the Empire sits on or near one of these great rivers. Rivers provide fresh water, they provide trade and transportation, they provide defensive barriers, they provide friendly spirits and lesser gods, it's the literal lifeblood of the Empire. The Empire follows the rivers.

I thought we were just going to sell a bunch of high quality skins, but it turns out there's a herd of sheep for us to buy.

These are my top five. The festival because it's been a minute since we saw Kadoh, and it's always nice to experience more of Eonir society. Initiate because it's practically obligatory for the Wizard of Karak Eight Peaks. The last two because Godmother, and the Skull River Ambush because the Skull River Ambush.

[X] Niedzwenka
[ ] Sarvoi
[ ] Witch Hunter
[X] Orb Reveal
These are my runner-ups. If it comes down to one of those options or any of my top five as the vote progresses, these ones will get the axe.

EDIT: It's early in the vote, but it already looks like it's nerd elf or jock elf. Sorry Sarvoi.
