I think the most economical favor use for dealing with Turoq would be "get Areatha to him" after we divine his True Name, so he can't flee.

Then we can use the left over minor favors on Lin and someting else nice, I heard someone floating Psyker Studies/Research?
 
Letting us use the webway changes things with Turok. If we can attack him before he attacks us that means we can raid him. It means we can get our rapid response fleet at least closer to whatever colony he decides to go all in on. It means we can concentrate more force.

While I'm not against using an eldar favour to deal with turok directly I don't think getting them in clearing the local area immediately is a good shout. Wait for the big three to roll out tech first, so our enemies don't have two reasons to go for us. As for dealing with Turok, I say we should try and do it with a minor favour, kill him off dead dead, and then hope the dark mech raid falls through without him. It seems unlikely that the two unaffiliated forge world's will cooperate yet, and we can probably kick the shit out of a single explorator fleet.

For dealing with the orks, we should be able to redirect the waagh at anyone is not us. The Eldar doing such might be a good use of a favour.
 
It never occurred to me but we can divine who the fuck the missing primarchs are and where. So that and alpha legion secrecy would be good to know.
 
@Durin
1. Can we sell Ridcully's future divination for minor favors like we did with the conference (basicly we get 3 minor favors now and we promise to perform 9-12 divinations within 50 years)?
2a. Did Emperor tell anything about missing primarchs/legions to Lin?
2b. Or warned to not look into them?

just how old is jacob?
looking at his sheet he is one point away from transcendent combat , and reaching 200 and upgrading his avernite survivor trait seems to be the easiest way to get that extra point.

Divining the Lost Primarchs is possible...but apparently there are ways to remove beings from history...

138, however as evidenced by the Throne you can't just go transcendent without a great deed and even then it is far from guaranteed.

We don't needeldar assassins or taxi service. Turoq is either pillaging the colonies or acting as backup for an assault.

We know he's acting as backup if we beef up colony defenses. We know he won't knowingly go near the black crystal sword because he fears permadeath. Which makes it easy to know which coreworld he'll be assaulting by positioning our forces.

Using the eldar to headcap turoq doesn't stop the darkmech from wrecking our coreworlds and carting away anything valuable. They don't care if turoq bites it.

I'm all for breaking a major favor into minor favors and getting help with the assault, decoding the data jewels, and maybe lin.

Dorn confirmed dead, Corax, Khan, Russ and Vulkan are up and running. Gullieman still in coma and Lion just woke up. What about Sangunius aka Sanguinor and Manus?

Is Cain, Cawl and Ephrael Stern still alive?

Is Void Dragon freed itself without Emperor to control him?

The Lion's been up since slightly before emps died.

Manus is super dead, his head should have been with the Hands on Medusa and Abaddon's destroyed them.

Sanguinius is still dead and Sanguinor is not him. Sanguinor is Altron not Sanguinius.

Cain is dead as far as we are aware, though it is a thread joke that Cain and Sepet are the same person.

Cawl may not have even existed in this verse, or is probably dead.

We don't know who Stern is and have no indicator she still lives. If she does she's in the Black Library.

The Void Dragon is free and trapped in the centre of the Eye of Terra for now. It is fighting a battle with the Abomination in there and is winning having managed to take Luna and is making progress on taking Terra. Estimated time to break out a century or so.
 
What about Sangunius aka Sanguinor
Sanguinor (a Blood Angel marine who got caught in Negative Warp Wedgie) is completely different thing from Sanguinus (who is very much dead).
Also almost certainly very much dead.
Is Void Dragon freed itself without Emperor to control him?
Yes however he's currently trapped on Mars who is in warp after Abomination's ascention, though he's slowly forcing the Starfather's forces back which highly concerning.

3. 2/9 step. he could potentially ascend now but it would require between a Paragon and Master Sorcerer to design the riutal depending on exactly what you could put into the ritual. at 9 the ritual for acending is accepting it
@Durin
So since he has walked further down the path.
1. Did the starting point on the path count as 0?
1a. If so it's 10 steps in total?
2. Will he be more powerful the more steps he takes?
2a. I mean when he ascended will the number of steps taken on the path affect how powerful he becomes?
3. If we send him with Lin to help heal some of his soul could it help get a grandmaster biomancy?
3a. Same question but for our other biomancy psykers?
4. Do we know what happened to the Custodes or is that a greater divination.
5. Will the surviving forces we sent to fight for the Eldar gain some sort of trait or unique name and legacy?
5a. Same but with the Space Marines sent.
6. How are the 15 space marines from the original 30 that weren't the ancients doing?
6a. If they still live are the respected only slightly less than the 15 ancients.

Pretty sure a minor favor can get the EoA to almost completely deal with Turoq (guy and realm) on it's own. Don't think so small, and let's not waste a lot of value on a relatively small service.
We don't even know for certain that Turoq's (the guy's) death alone would stop the invasion or neutralize his realm for any appreciable length of time. He might have arranged competent inheritors.

But taking out Turoq would make things significantly easier. Discounting the Dark Admech we still have to deal with the rest of Turoqs domain and Turoq himself if we don't headcap him. Them having Turoq is a collosal advantage which makes things harder for us significantly thanks to his abilities. Taking him out makes things significantly easier not just because Turoqs domain would be leaderless but thanks to being chaos his domain will immediately fall to infighting.

Turoq's domain spiralling into infighting would also affect the Dark Admechs plans since their plan involved working with him and his domain and with his domain in chaos they would lose a foot hold. It would also make an attack on us on their domain far more effective if we strike right after Turoq is taken out.

Is pre heresy Emperor a transcendent God?

What happened to grey knights?

Is Iron hand and Blood angels still exist? What about Templars, blood ravens, exsorcist and lamenters?
 
@Durin
How do we acquire Fabricator Lethe's character sheet? I assume she's a Stewardship/Diplomacy build, but i want to see the heights that characters like her can reach.
