I've missed a lot of debate on the options, is the Elector Count one valid? As i understand it, colleges can't even push through elector vote for Supreme Patriarch/Matriarch position so i am kinda dubious as to the effectivity of such endeavour.
Contingent on actually reclaiming the area first and such, but yes, it is valid.I've missed a lot of debate on the options, is the Elector Count one valid?

Dumb idea that Boney is probably going to say "no" to—theres a huge stretch of forest to the north that's technically inside the Empire's borders, but is barely populated and full of monsters.
The people who live in that forest are mostly Hedgewise, who we have a good relationship with (we're also cool with their Goddess).
Inside that forest are three waystone nexuses which are vital to the Empire, but held by the forces of darkness.
There's also a spare Runefang kicking about.
Enter one Mathilde Weber, Elector Countess of the Schattenwald.
I mean, it's not like Nordland and Ostland are using that territory.
If we can conquer it, keep it conquered in the name of the Empire, and reconnect the Nexuses for the benefit of the Empire, then why shouldn't we be it's Elector Count?
The exact lines on the map would be a matter of vociferous debate, and you wouldn't actually get the Runefang or the title until you did those reclamations, but the core idea is one that the authorities of the Empire would be receptive to.

As a general rule, the Empire reacts with extreme dubiousness to anyone claiming that they should get a noble title, unless that person says that they'll provide the land and that land is currently occupied by something hostile to the Empire. At that point the equation stops being 'dilute the power of the Empire's nobility' and starts being 'makes the Empire bigger and safer for free'.
Yeah, that cat is now out of the bag, even if not fully in public, and is not going to be stuffed back in without potential civil war.And it wouldn't even be creating the precedent of the Wizard Elector count, Mandred already does that.
People refuse to let us have fun.You might be able to get specific dispensations to investigate specific things, but not carte blanche to touch the magic that turns you evil when you touch it.
I fully agree, and i suspect lot of other do as well.[x] Having done it and done it well was its own reward.
-[x] Or, as Algard once said, the reward was we got to quite literally slit open reality's underside and meddle with the steaming guts that spill forth.
