The deed was hanging around in the background because if it wasn't it was because Drakk would have been destroyed.
There is literally no evidence that it influenced anyone to change their behaviour.
Not entirely true. Someone already replied before I could collate stuff but the Mythic deed Otrek got for Killing Kholek and This Far and no Further are invariably tied to Kraka Drakk's rise to prominence. Since they're so intertwined Its hard to say what is thanks to suviving and whats thanks to the deed, but since the latter is thanks for the former you can draw your own conclusions.
To make a long explanation short Otrek got:
- the other Kings to listen to him because he was known as the slayer of Kholek and King of Kraka Drakk
-- Which progresses into him later being known largely as Otrek the Uniter.
--- He kept the ball rolling and got the North to its weird position now but the opportunity came from the prestige.
- Grimnir gave him that ring because of his defiance
And Kraka Drakk got:
- an obvious and real show that they are in fact a real and established Hold recognized as such by the Southern Holds a century or two before they otherwise would have because they literally held out and fought for years on their walls instead of forting up behind their gates.
-- Like they would admit it grudgingly before but would say some plainly after the fact.
- huge political windfall from being the only Hold in the North that did that and admittedly furthered their lead.
- bonuses to migration and Runesmiths that would have otherwise ignored Otrek now taking him up on his offer.
But as I said you can argue thats more due to him and his Hold surviving the SIege but since the deed encapsulates the act...eh?
Then why are all of these people called "Senior Member"?
On the Brotherhood.
- As I said, the only way to get in is be invited, either by a member or because your master is a member and thinks you're up to snuff and makes the offer.
-- I honestly coouldn't find a better word at the time, but its more to delineate that these are the guys who are significant and not so much a position of actual authority. There are a few dozen Masters who are largely former apprentices of these people but are beneath the abstraction of the quest. Will edit to make that clear though.
--- In my mind this changes as time progress (in canon), because they don't find success in breaking the Rule of Three and sort of solidify and turn insular, becoming more known as the Brotherhood of Dwarfs who work in Karag Dron who's greatest member is Kurgaz who builds the Anvils of Doom until his death and the sundering of the mountain.
--- Part of this means becoming something like Vragni's institution
Which reminds me!
On Vragni's institution, because I realize I didn't actually crosspost so I apologize. #Culture #Runesmiths
- He is making his own institution because he realizes the only way to counter your influence with Khazagar is something equally impressive.
-- He is very aware of what it will do, and hates that he's doing it.
- Vragni's institution is very much going for the ideal of "I will make it possible for you to do effectively anything you want, such that the only actual limit is your talent and creativity"
-- Basically a lot of political capital used to buy up material, make it available to Runesmiths and give them facilities that have the best tools/let them make their best tools.
--- A result of this will be massively increased output of Runecraft. Because these are Runesmiths allowed to pretty much run buckwild because material and other constraints are largely removed from consideration.
-- There will be commission boards and the like, but more because Vragni views them as a means of inspiring further development.
-- Similarly, Vragni isn't gonna disavow everything you do. Actually trying to recreate Vragni's institution from the Workshop vote options isn't possible because he has different priorities and considerations, but any of the options there that improve Conservative Standing? He has them, if not a perfect 1 to 1 of it.
