[X] Try to find out where your mother and father are. If you're lucky, they might be near enough for you to go visit. You wonder if you'd even want to see them with how they must think of you, though...
If we meet our family we can give them the money without having to hire a courier, this might be our only chance to meet them without having to make the long trip to the family estate.

Lots of references to iron product in this update. Do the locals not have steel at any scale? I know it was a pain in the ass to make, but didn't think it was to the point of total exclusion of the stuff in common trading.

Too bad we didn't bring the Codex, or we maybe could've gotten some ideas on a Bessemer Converter. World's first industrial scale steel production.

It's rare enough that you're not focusing on it. Smiths don't make steel at scale but for individual items... And they need iron to do it.

As I recall, steel was believed to be the myth behind magical weapons. People would do absurd things to try to produce it, from prayers to having little red-heads pee on it as part of quenching. Basically people can make it, in exceedingly small quantities, because they don't know the chemistry behind what they're doing, and IIRC it also tends to end up having a lot of high-carbon waste in the form of cast iron, which was considered worthless since it was much weaker than wrought iron and would have to be reheated to try to remove the carbon (which I should have remembered and put two and two together with cast sand and cast iron, but I can't cry over spilled milk).

The process was expensive, the product was rare, and for all that it was typically 4-5 times stronger than the iron counterpart, it probably took something like 10 or 20 times as long to produce the same volume of workable material.

That said... I really am wishing we took the codex now... And for my choices...

We've done well here, and this would save us on insurance and possibly get us some other small advantage. It's also slightly riskier, but we've done well on that front so far, so I'd say we take the chance.

[X] See if you can earn a little money helping Maisah with errands, or just help her out in general with her trading tasks.
[X] Go visit the temples to Shallya, Ordnil, Dreselin (a god of craftsmen and merchants), and Ettri (who seems to be a goddess associated with rivers and protection from fire?)
[X] Try to find out where your mother and father are. If you're lucky, they might be near enough for you to go visit. You wonder if you'd even want to see them with how they must think of you, though...

Here's my thought process.

If we are going for a loan for our watermill, we need at least the burger level clothes, plus it will be useful in other roles. The noble clothes could work, but we still need to avoid giving off airs that we are trying to reach above our new station.

Next we want to get the artist working now, so that we get some good designs ready.

I'd like to help Maisah with errands because a friendly merchant will end up being a big boon for us as we start to produce things that need to be shipped to market.

I think the Gods Dreselin and Ettri will be very important gods for us to get to know since we are going to be pushing waterwheels and craftsmanship.

And then for relaxation, lets find out if our family is close enough for us to personally deliver the money. If they aren't, then we can arrange the insured payment.
 
[X][Clothes] Something fashionable, court style. You really want to look like a proper noble again. You can pull off the walk and attitude effortlessly, having the finely tailored clothes to complete the impression will demand respect and a bit of deference from those you meet. You are self aware enough to admit to yourself that you miss that. Costs three Profit instead of two (spend one extra).
