We haven't seen much of how the little people live in this fic so far, so I'm down with a village setting

Doesn't look like it?
I mean, other than some opinion blurb if you wanted to share your thoughts

Well, I think Pavva-Ganuk Village would be pretty neat for a side-story. It would be something different with all the technology we're constantly introduced in the Tekket's lives.

Plus, the setup for my vote does have some synergy. A Lord of Change wearing a fox (Kitsune) mask working inside a small rural village as a Shrine-Keeper. Kitsunes in Japanese folklore are trickster fox spirits with a variety of supernatural powers and are known for their wisdom.

Add the idea of a small rural village and guarding a shrine and you pretty much have the setup of a classic Japanese folklore story… except it's in 40k.

That is quite an awesome bit of mythos sympathy!
Honestly if we some how end up with naginata wielding shrinemaidens we'll be able to see the emperor's eyebrow twitching from the capital xD

Something interesting about Frostal that I don't think has come up here: we'd get to see individuals that went through Persone Mask overwrite which we've only gotten broad generalizations of. I think it would be really cool to see one of them, since they would let us see a unique perspective on Directorate cultural works; the concept of individuals becoming characters from in-universe fictional works is just so fascinating to me, and we probably won't have another chance to look at them anytime soon.

[X] Frostal: An AAAA on Tacchis, and not one of the good ones. The Bureaucracy couldn't find a senior shrine-keeper willing to put up with the residents: they had requested you for this, thinking it a good test of your abilities. You were to tend to the spirits of the AAAA, co-ordinate with the Nova Mechanicus and Assembly while doing it, while working to help get the ever shrinking population adjusted to life in the Directorate.

The fact that the whole thing is a Girl Genius reference makes it even better. If there isn't a castle or a hetrodyne I will be disappointed.

Also, is that quote also from girl genius?

Yep! god the corbettites are one of the most metal elements of an already pretty metal setting. Mad science militant train monks!
