Thematically speaking this one appeals to me the most. Iggy's humility and compassion really strike me as the best parts of his character.

I'd pick the martial option but right now let's focus on wrangling the galactic beast of bureaucracy and win what peace we can from its jaws...

[X] War. Witnessing first hand how a planetary peacekeeping operation is conducted, along with the insight offered by Canoness Galina, has been educational.

Let us tend to the sinews of war.
 
We already have Performance 5. Combined with Excellencies and Charms, we probably can out-debate a lot of people. Granted, we need to eventually be able to outdebate everyone, which is a hell of a task, and there is something to be said about new Charms...

Especially seeing as Performance is Supernal, we can get those regardless of their Essence requirements. It is tempting to be an absolutely peerless orator, to be honest.

Hm. It seems down Performance path there are literally charms to harm demons in an area around him. That'd be very much Ignatius tbh.

OTOH, we probably need to beeline TWT, especially given that we chose Defiance. Which means higher War can be of use.
On the third hand, we will probably need to diplomance Navy representative soon...but that's not necessarily Performance.

On fourth hand, not relevant to this vote, we probably really need Dodge and Athletics to survive assassins and stuff.
And Resistance 5 to not be poisoned.

We need at least some more levels of War; 2 is very much not enough in 40K, I fear.
 
[X] The Nameless Angel. A mountain carved into the shape of an angel, reputed to be an anonymous member of the Adeptus Astartes. The sight of his broad wings and noble countenance has always left you feeling inspired and invigorated.

A strong state and sound economy and finances are the underpinning of every military effort as well. Let us first build up our domain. The more strength gained early on, the more routes will be open to us later on.
 
One thing I do wonder is how upset/exasperated the Sororitas will be with us if we decide to go to the Pilgrim's Path. Sounds like a potential nightmare security-wise... but I still think it fits Ignatius best.

[X] The Temple-Under. A subterranean network of shrines and catacombs, where the bones of the faithful are interned amid columns of living diamond. You have always felt this place to be a great source of fortitude and strength, just the thing to bolster your will.

What are we, without hope, vision or inspiration? Nothing but specks of stardust waiting to fade. Seek solace in this, let Ignatius' spirit soar as he prepares to refresh and center himself, for in the days to come he will need that inspiration for a doctrine in Defiance against the established order.

Ignatius is already a phenomenal public speaker. He does not need further shoring up on this.

And if indeed we are to make ourselves useful to the Sector at large, and if we wish to do so without causing everyone severe Goge Vandire flashbacks, Ignatus needs to be a better, more appealing administrator who can advise the Lord-Sector.

I like the connotations of invigorated: the other two give a sense of re-consolidation and re-affirmation, while this carries a sense of momentum.

Hard choice here. Based on how the quest where we were an Princeps ended, I'm more inclined to favor keeping our focus on Brawl.

Incidentally, does 3e have anything like Teahouse-Shattering Symphony? Because using that in the middle of an Ecclisarchical library, with all its thick, heavy, metal embellished books, would be fuuuuun.

Logistics matter more than tactics, and we need to bring prosperity to this place.
