The way things are going in her omake's, it might be something on her mind. If we get introduced diplomatically we'll have to think of a similarly fitting gift for her. An assortment of medicines seems a good choice, maybe a saber tooth cub if we have some, she and Hans strike me as cat people.

I'd imagine not for us until we either expand more in that direction, get some intrigue units in the area, or we reach out diplomatically.
We just have no contact with them other than vague hearsay I imagine.

By the way, can someone give me a rough summary of what's going on in Egypt? Like, who are the combatants and what settings are they from?
See what happens when you don't pointlessly snub the faerie queen?
Also verybadnotgoodspookydon'tlike with Lemuria consistently rolling so well.
Viggo Grimborn could be an issue for us if we start getting into the dragon business ourselves. Or he could try and go after the one Malificent just gifted in which case I look forward to him getting demolished by her.

Mirage and Chaos are both characters from the Aladdin cartoon. Mirage was once a force for good, but became corrupt and turned to destruction instead. She's powerful enough that even Genie feared her after he was freed. Chaos is a sphinx-like spirit that is... well, chaotic. Though he shows good tendencies. He likes it when things are changing and absolutely hates when things become routine. Such as Evil always working to win and failing. The first episode he was in, he set up Mirage to actually be the one to save the day rather than the heroes.
Nefir is also from the cartoon. He's a hawk-headed imp that looks like a chibi Osirus. He's also a scheming weasel that makes Iago look downright saintly by comparison. His greed is his driving factor, and he'll go through with any scheme that he thinks will make him more money.

To add on to the explanation that TempestK gave, Dagger Rock is a giant crystal that can be used to trap magical creatures. There is a much smaller version called the Crystal of Ix that does the some thing.
Most likely, Mirage and Chaos were trapped in Dagger Rock and were released. They then proceeded to trap Nefir inside the Crystal of Ix and place it on top of a pyramid.

Nefir is also one of those "Create a problem so that I can provide the solution" types. In what I think was his first appearance he and a couple of other imps had been hired by a city that was being destroyed on a daily basis by a giant. Turns out that the giant had been given/forced upon it a pair of magic/cursed slippers by Nefir that made it 'dance' through the city each day to destroy the buildings.
We actually have the option to see about doing business with him.
Here is a Nega-Quest omake for him.

Are those oaths actually binding? Because I don't think the Disney Hercules setting have such oaths that can bind the gods, Hades was certainly able to pull a coup on Zeus, and try to murder Zeus son, despite presumably having sworn oaths of fealty to Zeus.
Eh it's just getting closer to Zeus getting free, which will probably lead to Hades spending some time in prison, but not much more than that, and frankly Hades deserve that, trying to murder a baby alone is enough that he should be spending a hundred years locked up.
Because Greece is supposed to be run by dozens if not hundreds of gods, and Hades have less than 10.

Her Learning description says she knows and prefers to listen to experts on subjects she doesn't know about, so as long as we send Leah along then things should be fine.
Can we do a Royal Visit with a Present as an Adventure @TempestK ?
If so, I'm thinking Stewardship for Northern, Visiting Maldonia, Diplomancing Eastern, and getting the Embassy up finally.
Then next turn Diplo Present Hades and other options as we discuss them.

This version they only almost win, and those whose plans were moronic, are finding that their plan was in fact not well thought out.
So Hades is having problems, because unleashing 4 super monsters on the land you want to rule, and locking up all the staff that used to manage the land(the various gods) is a bad idea, similarly Scar is having problems, because overhunting and destroying the land, is not a good way to keep yourself well fed for long.
Fact is, half the villains didn't think about the consequences of their victory, so they have managed to take over, but their takeovers included creating major clusterfucks, and now they have to deal with those clusterfucks.

It probably isn't helping that Hades and Scar are rolling fairly badly. We have rolls from Turns 4 through 9 now:
Scar's rolls:
51, 73, 90, 5, 34, 26
Mean result: 279/6 = 46.5
Hades' rolls:
61, 35, 74, 40, 1, 23
Mean result: 234/6 = 39
Hades' rolls are downright cursed, with the natural one seriously messing him up. And even without that, even if we just forget that Turn Eight ever happened for Hades (as I'm sure he'd like to!)... Well, his other five rolls are overall slightly below average.
Scar's rolls aren't as bad as I'd thought, but still on the weak side, and he's had three turns of luck ranging from truly horrible to merely bad, which is more than enough to counteract the "riding high" effects from Turns 5 and 6 when things were going pretty well for him.

Yeah, but the fact is, even their good rolls don't do much more than temporarily stabilize their situation, their territory is messed up to start with, which make bad rolls mean more, and good rolls mean less.
On a good roll, Hades do things like negotiate for a few gods to agree to work for him, but that's not really a long term solution, because as he's proved, you can't keep a Greek god from working against a king of the gods they hate, and after Hades locked them all up, and unleashed their ancient enemies, I don't think most of the gods like him, so either he keep the gods locked up, causing their domains to go untended, or he makes agreements to set them free, which mean that as soon as he get a bad roll again, they probably find an opportunity to betray him.
Similarly, on a good roll, Scars forces find a new source of abundant prey, but on a bad roll, his forces natural tendencies cause them to lose or destroy that source, and the more sources of prey are lost, the higher a roll is needed for them to find enough prey.

Yeah. I'm not trying to say that Scar and Hades' bad situations are entirely due to their bad luck. But their bad luck is exacerbating what would already be a bad situation.

Shame. Hades seemed to be doing fairly well for a bit. Seemed to be a decent leader too.
And then bad rolls...
And then bad rolls...

He seems to be a decent leader on the surface, beneath the surface, he's unleashed murderous monsters on Greece, and locked up most of the gods, Hades is a pretty shit leader, on account of how he fucked everything up to get into power.

I mean... sure?
He's the bad guy for his setting.
My point was more that hades getting good rolls was actually making things better for his area and the people there. Instead of worse.
For other leaders them getting good rolls could make things worse for their areas and the areas around them but hades seemed pretty chill.
He gets good rolls and stuff gets better. More gods get on board. Good things happen for the people and so on.

Bad rolls do that too half the time, a bunch of minor gods getting out, is a bad thing for Hades, but it's not a bad thing for Greece, they're probably looking for revenge on Hades, and to restore Zeus to the throne, but they will probably also be assisting the people of Greece, when an opportunity that align with their domains happen.
