As an aside, if we were to miraculously pick up both Stranglethorn and Inheritance: Unerring, absorbing some of Amarlt's habit and ritual seems like a natural fit for Stranglethorn's inertia. Am I understanding this correctly? Investment into an undertaking yields greater power and implacability, and Amarlt needed constant repetition and practice. Sounds like a nice mix.
I don't mean this bit as an argument, I'm quite aware now that the confluence of two specific high-pick options is exceedingly unlikely.

You know very well we will get into many more 3 and 4 pick fights.
Plus imagine what we could have gotten if we had chosen Cut Through for +1 Pick
5 pick Options!

Ah. I think I remember now. It was Haloed Destroyer. We got memed into taking it only to be shitting ourselves an update or two later from having to meet with the Sorceress Council because we had never taken any Brand of the Wretched mitigations before.

Point! It's legitimately unclear which of the available builds would have a good chance of beating him, if we fought him again.
I mean, "slowly you accrete not only legend, but the companionship of your worthy enemies" seems totally in-line with Stranglethorn. Inheritor is probably only the first stage of that path.
You are pretty much singlehandedly why I've voted Inheritor without a preference on which Evocation we get first.
I'm willing to admit that I think picking up the magic system is probably the best way to go, but I'm just too enamored with the cool / theme of the other pick. I'm sorry friend, you laid out very well why it's a great option.

Nice! I actually most like the ring - what program did you use?
There was an attempt. At least I think I got the cloak right?

You should probably pick one just so Rihaku considers it a valid vote.

Pixilart! There's a midnight palette that you can use so you don't have to worry about colors for the cloak. Hunger's Panoply is in nice monocolor (Red Ring, Blue Cloak, ??? Sword), which gives a lot of leeway for various shades of the same color.

That's not what inheritor does though? It imprisons the soul of an enemy we've killed before and grants us access to their soul evocation. What does that have to do with patient and unyielding. If anything we're more likely to get Stranglethorn if we pick Uttermost because they both have willpower as a defining trait.
Rihaku's earlier post has made me dubious that we'll even be offered the same defining advancements anymore after picking one.
Disregarding my other quibbles with it, I really don't see the logic in spending 2 arete and breaking a 4-pick set down into a much less valuable 1(this part we can get from trash mobs)+3 for an option that doesn't blow the competition out of the water to justify the efficiency loss. Which Inheritor does not.
We seem much better off getting an option that is basically equal in power here and having a better chance of spending Arete on an actual significant purchase, instead of continuing the recent trend of a stream of 2-Arete options continually draining us.

Weren't they part of the same vote though? The council meeting was even totally successful despite having no mitigation.

Wow, given the amount of fanworks we just produced, I'd be mighty temped by Uttermost had I not been called a favor. I can live with this, however.
The original was in Terrascape, it's salt fueled revival in AST. In the former it was a good pick, in the latter...
I can post random upsides of my favored options as well. I was being charitable setting them at par there to not start a pointless digression considering I think Inheritor is straight up slightly worse. But it's besides the point considering that we've been told point blank the options are in the same tier. Where Inheritor to my mind would need to be in a league of its own to justify the inefficiency taking it involves.

More importantly, I'm kind of leery about potentially locking away Vanreir? What if there's an afterlife? What if there's a heaven all Amarlts go to, and we're the hell?
Sidenote, heads up @Orm Embar I think you might have missed my other fanwork attempt at A Simple Transaction I Original in the fanwork index!

No I mean speaking to the council and getting Haloed Destroyer were part of the same vote.

I think Uttermost is actually the most powerful in general because the other competing options presumably factor in activating form of rage. Not having to do that while retaining the same level of power makes Uttermost way more efficient and much safer in the short term where we can't even use form of rage.

No, it was worse. We had already committed to talking to the Council when the build vote started. We then proceded to take no Wretched mitigation, burning all our re-rolls in the process. Much salt was had that day.

Rihaku has said they are more or less the same power level.
Thanks for the heads-up, added. Art and text within spoilers can get overlooked with a minimum word count search.
