I'd say it's unlikely sorcerers can get a good look at Ridcully but then we have minimal idea of how sorcery works (maybe if the Eldar have Sorcery).

Ehhh, as the writer there I just picked Goddess because I thought what might be above royal...

He answered this one, they give us greater creedence, they'll warn us about major things, work with us more etc.
We know that Daemons om nom nom.
We dunno.
What sensitive material?
The love letters of people 20,000 years dead?
Sad, but not critical.

1. They don't worship any but believe in their existence. Well know more then believe. You don't believe that the sun exists.
3. You could
4. A lot. Areatha thinks she could use it to prevent him from fleeing if she got onto the same continent as him

1. It would.
1. Yes, some major ones due to being able to ask their Psyker worshippers about them.
2. He probebly could. Do you want to know.
3. They still exist and are seemingly scattered into countless war bands.

About human afterlife yes, I think we need to think a way to deal with if daemons are eating human souls. I think our hellworld got some sort of countermeasures to deal with human souls. I do not think it will allow something that belongs to it falls under hands of chaos.
Can Eldar Death God able to collect human souls and preserve it like it can do in case of Eldars?

I mean, you are not going to get Transcendence from things that were easily survivable. Also, losing that 1 Control is largely meaningless, anything that can give you 60th point will give you 59th with ease.

It's inevitable that it will be found out, any good enough sorcerer needs only lay his eyes (figurative or not) on Ridcully once and the blessing of Isha will blow that mystery wide open. Durin says so anyway. So either Turoq or a henchman of his will find out when he attacks us, or we call the Eldar to clean up our backyard and let everyone know that way.

I don't know, but that doesn't mean there aren't such possibilities.
Good point. Fortunately, Eldar are pretty good at subtlety.
@Durin
1. We've still been leasing Hellguard to the Eldar, right?
1a. Now that our debt is cleared, can we keep doing that for favours or resources?
2. We still have that device for contacting the Eldar, right? Because there's still a Divination option for Contact Eldrad Ulthran which seems like a bit of a waste of Ridcully's ridiculously valuable time.
3. Would Marian and Tranth be particularly cross with their governor if we sent the datajewels to the Eldar for decoding?
3a What are the approximate chances that the techno-conservative catch wind it?

Zahak almost all of the ti,e. Areatha can beat Exalted but would be outmatched
Yes
1. Yes.
1a. Ask
2. Good point
3. Not if you sent them under guard and had them find a key rather then provide you with the information

Such as?
I don't think hilariously out of date battle plans count as sensitive any more.
@Durin
1. Does access to the wonderful tech over whelm the inherent xenophobia?
2. Will Ridcully be returning the Banefire bomb to Areatha or has she said he can keep it?
3. The trait says that the Eldar maybe adding Ridcully to their pantheon in some respect...will we need to wait and see how this develops?

1. Do our hellworld safeguards dead human souls or it is only interested in biological/psychic evolution til they are alive?
2. If we request Eldar Death God to safeguard human souls will she/he able to do so? Is it under its preview or it is only limited to Eldar souls?
3. If we want to create a paragon/archetype Human God of Death what will the criteria? I think it was Emperor's preview before his death, does that domain now fall under Starfather's preview or it is still contested?

IC I believe we do not know.
OOC There is a race of guardians that grabs the souls of interesting and powerful Avernites in general and humans fall under their purview. No idea about less impressive souls.
Not trying intentionally is probably a good start since the warp is watching.
Other than that the abomination did not manage to create a slaanesh like connection with humanity, so I believe there is no god of human souls.
It isn't so much that Ridcully is that far above the Trust's level as the Trust being ludicrously top heavy.
We have more Paragons than we have developed worlds. We have one of if not the best human general alive. We have the Last Saint. We have a warrior able to inflict True-Death and another that is functionally unkillable. We have a regiment of stealth bastards so sneaky no one believes they are mundane. We have multiple alpha psykers. We have entire armies of power armour troops. We have entire legions of Knight Titans. We have a fleet that polities ten times our size would be jealous of.
Anyone hearing about our Extraordinary Assets would ask where the other 99% of the Trust's planets are hiding.
While spending a Major Favour to wipe out all enemies within 200-300ly is very appealing we should hold off on doing so until we build up some colonising potential. Give it a few decades to finish setting up our current colonies and build up for another wave of expansion. Aim for 50 years?
Yes to the data jewels. Yes to reinforcing Lin, assuming the man accepts. Yes to help squashing the coming attack.

Locations of treasures, possibly stashes of non-human technology, or just really rad relics. Documents proving ownership of really nice real-space-real-estate (I'm sure there are xenos who honor their contracts regardless of how old). Other key-codes to other stuff (stuff like Roskilde). Or maybe just analyses of non-human tech.
Regarding cashing in such a favor (a minor one, I hope we're on the same page), I think we should word it in a way that avoids waste. We could probably ask for something like "neutralizing Turoq as a threat to the Trust, but not to the rest of their neighbours", or even expand that to "surrounding enemies (Toguzak's old domain, Demagoye and Turoq)".
Even those minor favors seem like really powerful cards, let's get the most bang for our buck.

Well the extraordinary assets is actually very short.
Ridcully and the Foundry (you could maybe thrown Areatha in against chaos).
The bar for extraordinary assets is very very high indeed, neither Callamus or Ultramar (the most powerful human polity) have anything that could be classed as extraordinary.
But, yeah our density of paragons is ****ing absurd.
Locations of treasures: Worthless to the Eldar we'd likely just spend a favour to get them to retrieve them for us since we're not sending Tranth out again. Also likely long since looted.
Stashes of Tech: Useful only as bribe material and we'd likely just spend a favour to get them to retrieve them for us since we're not sending Tranth out again. Also likely long since looted.
Documents: Worthless to the Eldar we'd likely just spend a favour to get them to retrieve them for us since we're not sending Tranth out again. Also likely long since looted and especially worthless since there maybe the odd people who do that, but somehow I doubt they are many.
Other key-codes: Worthless to the Eldar beyond bribe material we'd likely just spend a favour to get them to retrieve them for us since we're not sending Tranth out again. Also likely long since looted.
Analyses: Ok how in any sense is that valuable.
The Eldar are a level 30+ tech civilisation that uses a completely different tech base, the only interest they have in tech outside of their norm is as fodder to uplift other civilisations and none of that "information" is in anyway valuable.
The only things that maybe of value to them are if its a stash with something like a Moment Shackle in which case I say let the Eldar keep it they can probably use it better than we can.

Is Ridcully the past incarnation of Tzeentch?
If he does ascend could he become a more benevolent version of Tzeentch?

Probably not while the prime candidate is still alive.
In fact make that pretty much certainly not.

1. With grumbling yes
2. He will need to return it
3. You do
1. Unknown
2. Maybe if you started worshipping her, otherwise no.
3. You don't know but doing so would be very very hard

1. Out of curiosity what mechanically did the three other things do/would do if used.
1i. The Banefire bomb?
1ii. The Anti corruption potion.
1iii. The immunobooster?

Since Ridcully live in avernus I would be very surprised if he become that chaos God. I mean this whole planet not only hate chaos but have some of very bullshit resources to use.
