- She/Her
Let's suppose that we have five possible kinds of exhibit: Art, History, Science, Zoological and Other. We're looking for an all-arounder early on, so let's rate each candidate in all five categories. Here, one star means no special bonus and three stars means they're exceptionally good in that area.
The Tide of Skjold
1/3 Art. Can get us Chaos art, but that's pretty niche.
2/3 History. Many of them are historical! And they know about Norsca.
0/3 Science. None of them are modern. They stand out like a sore thumb.
3/3 Beasts. Their main attraction. Lots of wild Chaos Beast corpses.
2/3 Other. The religious angle is maybe worth an exhibit on its own.
Aside from the distinct lack of Science, this is a pretty good pick.
Lamprey
1/3 Art. Unfortunately, song is hard to exhibit. Could get us some stuff.
2/3 History. It's be Bretonnian and Elf-focused, but that's a great start.
1/3 Science. Ulthuan artifacts are kinda sorta scientific. But not really.
1/3 Beasts. A cavalry through the ages exhibit kinda counts here. Maybe.
0/3 Other. No special pickups here, as far as I can tell.
The main draw here, IMO, is that she has lots of upward potential.
The Salt Lord
2/3 Art. Flying pirates can steal so many paintings.
2/3 History. Flying pirates can steal so many artifacts.
1/3 Science. Prototypes are probably pretty heavy, actually.
2/3 Vampire bat exhibit! Minus one point for eating other animals.
1/3 Other. The mysterious cursed Estalian castle-port sounds fun.
Besides being solid all around, think of the recruitment potential!
Princess Aelsabrim Fallenstar
3/3 Art. One of our best sources for fine elvish artwork.
2/3 History. She can't ID it for us, but she can afford it.
2/3 Science. If cultivated, she can get us access. If cultivated.
3/3 Beasts. Beast trade authority and the Merwyrm. Very good.
1/3 Other. Tiranoc. All we need is some divers to dredge it up.
On paper, she looks fantastic. But I suspect she's going to be expensive.
Harbourmaster Tenebrel Reefwalker
2/3 Art. Our other good source for fine elvish artwork.
3/3 History. Asur militaria at first, then other wonders later on.
2/3 Science. Is loyal(ish) to Ulthuan. Is not going to sell secrets.
1/3 Beasts. No special ability to get us exotic beasts.
2/3 Other. An Elf Crimes Wing sounds really fun, honestly.
Again, recruiting potential. Elf Crime means Elf Criminals!
Given that, I'm approval voting for
