Resurgent? I thought the Asur were on the decline?

They're constantly stated to be on the decline by the setting authors, yes, but this doesn't really bear out unless one is strictly looking with the lens of the pre-Sundering, pre-War of Ancients Ulthuan.

Ulthuan keeps setting up new colonies, and finding new trade partners who are willing to pay exorbitant prices for their goods. Their fleet is powerful enough that for a long while (some couple thousand years) they were able to enforce a policy of sinking any non-Ulthuani ship they found beyond the sight of an Old World coastline, and what brought this to an end were trade treaties rather than losing the ability to do so.

These don't appear like the actions of an empire that is waning in its power and influence.

If you get more than three lines of lore in this setting, one of them is going to be that you're on a slow but inevitable and irreversible decline. Bonus points for each damaged and slowly failing artefact that nobody knows how to fix any more. The actual facts say that the low point of Ulthuan was four thousand years ago (immediately after the War of the Beard, during the first post-Sundering Druchii invasion) and the last three Phoenix Kings have been pursuing colonial ambitions. Morvael sucked but he did build the Citadel of Dusk and Fortress of Dawn, Bel-Hathor sent Finubar to investigate the Old World, and what he found and achieved was so promising that Finubar became the current Phoenix King. Also they have Tyrion and Teclis, the living embodiments of minmaxed cheese builds that the GM never should have allowed.

Not at their tech level at least.

I am pretty sure they'd like several things that can be easily mass produced at our tech level. Like movies. Or videogames. Or music system to play a cd with "spooky scary skeletons" on repeat forever.

Well... they probably could mass produce books is someone had the idea, just make scribe zombies that copy what they see precisely while another zombie flips pages. All those things Mathilde couldn't work out because they require a mind necromancers can just do since they can use left-over bits of soul for the job.
 
Casting a broad approval-voting net at first as per my custom, will narrow down later. Ty @Eldon for posting my plan while I was asleep.

[X] Plan Sea-Beasts, Sea-Elves, and Staff
[X] Plan Remembrances
[X] Plan Getting Spicy w/Old Friends
[X] Plan: Educational Outreach w/New Friends
[X] Plan: Spicy and Educational

Basically, anything that develops Aelsabrim and uses both Goodwill is fine by me for now.

The Empire is on a decline... But also they have united after a thousand years of civil war, have thriving academic institutions, rapid advances in technology, and for the first time, a prosperous middle class.

The Dwarves are on a decline... But the holds have reconnected after thousands of years of isolation, runelords are uncovering ancient treasures left and right, the engineers guild is the most technologically advanced organisation in the setting, and their infamous wealth is being turned towards reconquest rather than survival.

The elves are on the decline... But they have forged mutually beneficial trade treaties with the human realms, dominated the great ocean despite a dozen hostile factions, and are lead by the greatest heroes of any age.

Chaos is on the ascent... But their champions are constant fighting each other, their schemes are short sighted, the gods are constantly sabotaging each other, and it's all doomed to failure due to the inherently self destructive nature of those who chose Chaos over literally any of the other alternatives.

What Warhammer says and what Warhammer does are often two different things.
 
The greenskins are... well no one really knows how the greenskins are doing, not even them. They might be getting stronger, but that could collapse into infighting at any moment, so.

The Lizardmen are... doing pretty much the same as always.

Orcs are doing the same as always, which is awesome.
There is so much fighting to be had anywhere you go.
And if you don't feel like travel, you can just punch your neighbour.

No matter what some might claim, it is easy being green. :V
 
Shame I lost out on the initial voting period. Still, neither of the two plans in the lead cultivate audiences, so I feel the need to propose these:

[X] Plan be boring
-[X] Cultivate Audience x2 (Sea Elves & Awakening, Lustria)
-[X] Excursion - Tide of Skjold (Lahmia, Lahmian Artifacts)

[X] Plan be half as boring
-[X] New Museum Staff
-[X] Cultivate Audience (Awakening, Lustria)
-[X] Excursion - Tide of Skjold (Lahmia, Lahmian Artifacts)

[X] Plan be half as boring, Sith version
-[X] Develop Affiliate (Princess Aelsabrim Fallenstar)
-[X] Cultivate Audience (Awakening, Lustria)
-[X] Excursion - Tide of Skjold (Lahmia, Lahmian Artifacts)
