---[] Choose: Master Rune of Purification (T4 Voidstone) + Rune of Worldly Warding (T4 Ancient Stone Troll Blood) + Ancestor Rune of Thungni (T4 Adamant). The theme idea is "I will Endure the Flow, I will Resist it, I will Shape it and what I cannot use I will Burn Away."

---[] Brightcaller: This is the greathammer of Clan Skarridum, a weapon also known as Brynlidha and Brighttongue. In structure it is entirely Adamant (you learned your lesson with Zharrgal), with the metal haft wrapped in Wutroth native to Dorden's territory, sourced from the Plumbeards' groves and decorated with gems retrieved from Dorden's depths.

This is what I'll be going for. Tbh after much thought and internal debate with myself I think that Xeph's plan is pretty dang good, so I'm voting for A Crack in the Consternation as well (Copied it in cause Xeph is sleeping when the vote opens). Either way, if war comes and Yorri does not show up (the worst case), both plans leave us in in the same place in terms of flexibility.
I want Monoliths and the Hammer done first, but the arguments for Xeph's plan are dang compelling. From my perspective Aetherbinder, Monoliths, Hammer all will and need to and must get done, its just a matter of in what order.
As for the Dragon Facilities, we have cause and justification to build a Dedicated Gronti Facility. There are already designs floating around for Gronti not made of Adamant, but Pure Gromril and Stone that could benefit from the facility, before we were presented with the idea of such a facility. And I want to give the thread tools and facilities to make those happen, and I want those facilities available when we get around to my project idea for a mole Gronti troop transport for the Hearth Guard.
A dedicated General facility doesn't have a specific design waiting for it. But it does have use with our future megaprojects, or anything Nain and Dolgi may wish to do on this scale.
In terms of stuff We might do, for example, a thing to transport pieces of a Waystone or the raw mass of materials for their construction - a logistical airship would be Monumental. Its reaching past what we need right now, but that's another way of saying it prepares for future projects ahead of time so we don't have to crunch ourselves to build another facility.
And its literally a miniscule extra cost in terms of favor.
As for Anvil vs Waystone vs Khazagar location. I have felt for a while we need to defend the Anvil location, this is a good seed for it. I want to build a High Energy Runesmithing Lab and the attendant defenses. I also want to Stormforge the Dragon to shoot for immense energy reserves and significantly greater intelligence and independence. Entire reason Aetherbinder is getting built is to let Snorri use as much energy of the Storm as he can without crippling himself again.
A Khazagar site would be using its full potential with any project. But that potential is lower than the Waystone or Anvil facilities, and I'd rather shoot for highest potential. And frankly I think it'll be easier to add Waystones around the Anvil than adding Waystones and Anvil-like functions around Khazagar. And adding Anvil-like effects to a Waystones sounds like a Headache.
And Four uses across 150ish years is good enough for Monumental scale works in my opinion. In terms of using infrastructure I am of the opinion that if we need to wait to use it to its fullest potential, that is fine. And we won't necessarily wait, since not every project will need its full capacity to achieve their design goals.
