4e WFRP has a list of 6 or so separate personalities, including a little girl, a drunk, and an Estalian bug collector. This one didn't enthuse me either.

What else can we do for 'paht'? Well, the original idea cited Pakhet, a lion-associated war goddess known as 'she who scratches', and there is a way to tie that into a rhebus for 'pht'. It's, uh. It's lion butt, ' 𓄖 '. I think we have the way that a bratty young Neferata used to spell Uncle Pat's name, but probably not a part of his actual cartouche.

"Uncle Paht," says the living embodiment of insouciance draped haphazardly over his throne as you come in, and you search his eyes for recognition and find none. "My old haunt to your liking?"

There were a good five seconds in there where I actually wondered whether we got juked and Luthor had a Neferata personality in there, lmao.

I like these dudes' vibes a lot, even though they're really far behind.

I feel like animals in a museum run by us makes it likely that it actually looks a bit like a zoo at first, and that's a fun mental image!

The only other zoo in Warhammer that we know of is the Imperial Zoo in Altdorf, but in part it's there to house and/or breed beasts that get used in times of war. However, it tends to cause casualties in those who run it. We can do better! We can have our casualties also join the exhibitions!

Also, I like the idea of being an evil mentor to another princess.

An elven Princess just opens so many doors for acquiring artifacts from the order factions. She has effective diplomatic immunity and every port in the Old World, bar Barak Varr will drown her in gifts for the museum just for being an Elf Princess.

Also fits the most with Uncle's criteria for a good student. Just imagine what a spurned Tiranoc princess could do with access to our deep necromantic lore. Lost cities rising from the depths, ancient elders returned to beat back Druchii raids like in Yvresse, or even reuniting long lost family with a little spellwork. I'm surprised there's never been an Elf necromancer actually, their tendency for obsessions, gradual decline, and the general antipathy towards Morai-heg kind of makes them a better candidate than most human cultures.

Maybe you need Dhar to drive you at least a bit mad to really excel in the field. Elfs just aren't flexible enough. But maybe our new prodigy will surprise us.

Restoring Nagarythe would be absolutely amazing even if it would likely cost devastating Ulthuan and risking to unravel the great vortex, but you know eggs and omelets.

Word of Boney is that there definitely has been, but not of any real significance - the main motivation of necromancy is escaping death oneself, and elves simply don't have that problem much.

Personally, I am an absolute sucker pun intended for bats of any kind, but the Princess is perfectly and hilariously apropos given our personal history with princesses...so, approval-voting the two of them.

Orcs and Goblins may be more of a case of blue and orange morality than good or evil.

Like, I do not think they consider killing or dying a morally charged action. They do not seem to give a shit if they die or get hurt so they do not give a shit if they kill or hurt others. That is morally consistent, I am not sure I can call it evil, but it certainly is scary to anyone who cares about dying or getting hurt.

OBJECTION!

I posit the hypothesis that Orks' morality is based on a green and green system. They look like the same shade of green, but one is slightly darker than the other. This represents Mork and Gork while also maintaining the concepts of how their morality is simultaneously unifying enough that all greenskins both align and understand the consequences of their actions under their moral ideology, while also establishing how alien/foreign their morality is from the other cultures.

Orc democracy fell apart immediately because every candidate insisted on running for the Green Party
