It would be a pretty normal request to make.
Another idea that just came to me now would be asking to be allowed to buy glassteal.

To avoid a bad dice roll and build a ship I'm not particularly fond of isn't the answer I wanted but thank you.
Oh I see. You certainly don't seem to be lacking money so maybe not the most efficient thing to ask for.

@DragonParadox, I can't find the VS stockpile on the front-page. How much do we have again?

Eh.
Unless @Azel needs it for something with the various engineering projects I've completely lost interest in glassteel. It just seems utterly pointless? We can have normal glass rivaling glassteel thanks to the Hardening Chamber. What's the point in wasting any money or effort for this?
The shaitan are welcome to their monopoly.
@DragonParadox, will the Sultana be giving us our reward for assassinating the Bey of Beggars? We were supposed to talk to the Grand Vizier about that, but he's not exactly here.

@Azel
Front page is not up to date.
Tldr we have 823 lbs of loose Valyrian Steel, and another 362 lbs in the form of equipment that hasn't been enchanted yet.
EDIT: Note that this does not take into account forging the standards for the Legion. I have no idea how much Valyrian Steel each standard uses, nor how many standards are to be forged in the first place.

We're We just unlucky with the last recruiting run? Does Viserys feel it is necessary to use royal favour on something so mundane as contracting, particularly given we aren't even asking for them to be all that skilled.

@Duesal what does glassteal do? Is it a magical material like brass seals or...?
If so, what are it's properties?
I mean... We probably want it for Windows and helmet visors its stuff.
It'll be really good at protecting people's eyes after we run it through the hardening chamber.
Edit:
Keep in mind most of the world is still in medieval Craftsman apprenticeship mode.

Connections needed for moving this level of skilled labor.

It was a combination of things not just bad luck:
- The short time you had to look
- The fact that you were asking people to move to another world when minor mages just are not that adventurous
- The fact that you were being mysterious about where you would have taken them

Well... that's an order of magnitude too little.
Seems we will have to mulch up quite a few fiends for this.
The point here is not to hire 2 or 3 guys like last time. More like 50.

It's literally just glass as hard as steel, something that we can accomplish by hardening regular glass in our hardening chambers.
It's also expensive, and people asking for it makes the Shaitan twitchy since their currency is made of the stuff.
Beyond that there's pretty much nothing special about it.

That's... Well. It is what it is.
Would still probably make great glassware however.

We can use Greater Stone Metamorphosis to cheat up any kind of non-precious, natural crystal. Glasssteel is neat, but hardly unique in it's properties.
Getting 50 odd enchanters to go off with you on short notice is certainly royal favor worthy.

@DragonParadox, will we be getting paid for assassinating the Bey of Beggars this time or are we going to have to wait for the Grand Vizier to come back?

And DP has confirmed it was partly bad luck and from the remaining we will be spending royal favour on
1.Poor planning.
2. Forcing the unwilling to move, meaning we are less likely to assimilate them into our structures and get a permanent resource.
3. A non-issue.
This is a waste of a request in my opinion and to speed up a narrow non-necessity.
[X] As per egoo though requesting restricted and unique Lore instead of freely available agents that work for money.
The royal favor is your pay.

It doesn't need to be on short notice, we just planned poorly. I'd be embarrassed to ask for this.

Well... will we at least not have to pay for the crafters since they're being gathered via the royal favor?
Speaking IC for Viserys here he sees nothing demeaning about the request.

What? How can increased availability of crafters be a non-necessity? It's the one thing that is holding back a lot of large-scale projects in regards to equipment and magic in general.
We are getting lore left and right, but we are constantly trying to scrounge up every little guy with a crafting feat. How getting 50+ of them would not be one of the greatest boons we could ask for is beyond me.

She can give you a very good deal but it would be politically awkward to have people paid by the Peerless Empire working on your military ships.
