It Belongs to a Museum

I read it as "this asshole killed my brother, so I helped arrange for his death, and his son's death and the rise of Nagash to power all to stick it to him. Now I'm going to ensure everyone knows how much he fucked up to stick it to his immortal soul in the afterlife".
That's how I read it too. Two times Ushabti failed to protect their master? History-Maker has War Statuary (Detailed), tampering with them, or making it so they served his design would've been child's play. A poisoning, a plague? History-Maker has Poisons (Surface) to reflect that. I also like to think that he has Preservation (Detailed) to ensure that Khetep would remain as intact as possible, body and soul, so he can see what the History-Maker has wrought of his dynasty.
 
@Boney I have a question, do all the options have the capacity/know-how to create further Liches Priests, presuming that they had the raw resources for said process? Or would that knowledge be restricted to older and or more trusted Liche Priests in regards to their creation?

It can't be done to someone, you have to teach them how to do it to themselves. It also requires a decent grounding in the Mortuary Cult magical tradition, so it's all the way a breaking of every vow they ever made to it.
 
3rd Dynasty, brother of King Lamasheptra of Lahmia, just loves teaching people shit that he shouldn't be teaching them. Unca Liche Priest, can't you just teach me ONE forbidden secrets of Death Magic? Okay Neferatem, one little thing and then it's bedtime, you scamp. Har-Ak-Iman gets a bad rap. Abdul ben Raschid was harmless, really. Jaffar wasn't even his fault. Tends to get kicked out of places a lot, has run out of places on the continent to get kicked out of.

Sadly UNCA doesn't grip me as much as I thought, something about his "it was never my fault." Rubs me the wrong way... Also he got no way to make the mobility crab and that's a damn shame.
 
Goddammit why are all the option so good. WHYYYYYYY. I like Impudent Tutor cause yes but I also want War Statuary. Really is dividing my loyalties to why I voted for Firstborn am I right.
 
I'm casting my votes for the following but in all honesty, I'm okay with whatever wins.

Spectacular, each and all! Nehekhara rises from the seas!

I'll probably narrow my vote at some point once we have a couple hundred more votes and the frontrunners are clearer.

I like these 4 the best but 'Imprudent Tutor' and 'Hunter of the Cult of Blood' are really good.
 
...that's typically about as far as you'd get before you'd be cast out of whatever city you happened to be in, forced to walk on to the next one. The magics that sustain you might make you able to function without food or water or sleep, but they do nothing for the tedium. Eventually you stopped letting others blame you for their failures and moved to live among the living, wandering up and down the coast of Araby, appearing to most as nothing more than a spry old man. And, yes, the Har-Ak-Iman collaboration might not have been your finest hour, but Abdul ben Raschid's work is one of the most accessible sources of Nehekharan history to outside eyes, and Abdul Alhazred is harmless, really. That Bhar fellow was more bark than bite, and Jasmina's theories were perfectly sound, and, look, didn't the whole Jaffar affair work out for the best in the end?
@Boney With all the Arabyan sorcerers being name-dropped and his Detailed Araby knowledge, has the Tutor actually dabbled in Arabyan magic like I-can't-believe-it's-not-daemon-summoning, or is that solely referring to non-magical historical and cultural knowledge of the region?

A couple of those names are actual Chaos worshippers, and I really want to know if the guy is Chaos-curious since it's notably not being considered by the immortality seeker or the guy who would team up with anyone to gank Nagash.

Voted "Most likely to let kids touch a dinosaur bone" for twenty years running as well as "Most likely to let dinosaur bones touch kids" for three.

These are all good, but I like the cool teacher vibes of these two the most, even if others have greater DRAMA.
 
@Boney
Is the knowledge presented in each option the only opportunity to learn that specific knowledge? For example if an option without say… War Statuary is picked, would we have the opportunity to learn War Statuary in a future turn?

It was a tough choice, but the noble motivations of the oldest to fulfill the Mortuary Cult's mission and restore life to Nehekhara seems like a great overarching ambition to have. It will have us push the boundaries of magic and plunge the depths of history for a truly revolutionary setting-altering revival should we succeed in breaking Nagash's curse and restoring life to our home and people.

The tutor has a fun character that I love, but he seems to lack that grand ambition that really defines some of the other choices, flitting from place to place teaching magic for no greater reason than the love of teaching itself. Without a grand unlife's ambition or a personal stake in his research that would force him to make difficult decisions the choice loses a lot for me.
