It Belongs to a Museum

Reader mode
I do wonder if it might be possible to pull a Trazyn and set up dioramas of various historic battles. Maybe using some kind of undead to replicate them?

Just need to find people of the right races and levels of decomposition, dress them up in appropriate clothing, maybe a bit of cosmetic adjustments and bind them to eternally enact the battle or event in questions.

We'd need to find several people who look close enough to Harken for it to work, but I can imagine that such a thing would attract a lot of visitors to our museum. Plus it is the perfect way to show Luthor's glory.
 
As a name suggestion, I want to do an homage to the Mummy movies. The franchise is full of deathless ancients and dangerously reckless nerds.

Perhaps, we commission some small scale models, and with our eye for minutia, assemble and pose them in various historical manners. Perhaps, we arrange those dioramas so they are very small, so we can better appreciate them from a birds eye view. Perhaps we COLLECT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE WARHAMMER MINIATURESSSSS CARVED OUT OF BONE THAT WE CAN ANIMATE WITH NECROMANCY TO ENACT HISTORICAL FANTASY WARFARRRRRE!!!

[X] [PLACE] Island

The somehow even more annoying elves have their Arcs, floating islands, as symbols of their power. What is a floating mountain except a not very refined construct? What are we? A construct maker. So we start with an island, which is basically a mountain except underwater and eventually we'll have enough free time, lore and favor to make our own, superior Arc. And then the teaching will really commence!

As to name: Sloa'hn Mikkley

Honestly you've sold me on the island with this idea but maybe we should also look into making a giant hulk for our acquisitions department to operate out of.

There really isn't any guarantee at all that we'll actually have the chance to do this, or that voters will even want to later on
if we take the Hulk we get a floating museum immediately and we can expand it whenever we want until it's the size of an island

I mean you have a point I'm suffering from a case of wanting my cake and eating it too I really like the island idea but also really want my ocean going space hulk so I'm torn between the options.

Maybe dwarf ironclads or elf dragonships get close to being big enough for a museum by external dimensions but as dedicated warships there's going to be surprisingly little internal volume going spare. Anything that isn't an extremely rare, well guarded, capital vessel of an elder race is an early age of sail wooden hull. They're just not very big. Tie a few together and start building outwards - you lose any sort of useful mobility while keeping the capacity to sink, rot and burn. On the timescales of vampires and liche priests, the scale of regional power state monuments, ships are consumables not real estate.

Finally the ziggurat lizardman architecture is to the last brick part of a geomantic spell each stone block allows geomantic energy to flow through it having access to genuine lizardman ruins allows us to study this type of magic and possibly convert it into something useful for our purposes it won't be enough to make us a master of geomancy but it will probably let us get at least surface level knowledge of geomantic structures/ architecture.

Though given that 'Surface' seems to actually be quite impressive, that could mean a LOT of study time.

I don't think a hulk will necessarily stay a single ship, the blurb describes it as a ship that "could be adapted into just about any form, expanded as needed" which in my mind makes it more like Count Noctilus's ship the Bloody Reaver which is a collection of shipwrecks bound together into a single hulking ship by sorcery. Like how in 40K a Space Hulk is multiple ships smashed together, I assume the hulk option will be "expanded as needed" by literally just slamming more ships together and using magic to hold them there.
This is something the Vampire Coast already does.

Also if it's a Vampire Coast or a Tomb Kings ship, it'll be much more 'permanent' so to speak than a normal ship because it'll be at least partially powered or maintained by magic.
The Tomb Kings armybook describes the Tomb Kings as having fleets of ships that are so well persevered they look the same as they did when the Tomb Kings were still living.

Could we not get the hulk, and then later expand to an island as we prove our worth/get enough artifacts/catch our boss in a good mood later?
