AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I am very scared.
The Butcher king is coming south. I really hope he doesn't go far enough south to fuck with the White Sky. Expanding the Jungle into the wall is scary, but I can't imagine the crone taking expansion past that too kindly. (Eternal winter isn't good for a Jungle.) Hopefully 12 stars at least has more to worry about. Either way I'm scared.

Is Sun trying to start their own ties to White Sky?!

I feel sort of bad for our foes, some of which barely even seem to understand how the Empire's military works and definitely won't expect a second White (and ecological disaster) hitting them from behind.
Meh.
Fantastic! I hope Zhengui will like it, and I'm hyped for big crop yields once we get there.
On the other hand, starting the Elixir Quest is IMO a good decision - and it'll be good for RR readers who aren't regularly reminded about the elixir's existence (giving it a callback in this chapter was already a good decision, but I think we should go further by making some progress on it every few IRL months).
I really, really want to read the insight sharing. Narratively that sounds great.
ohhhh fight between jungle lady and tundra lady!….
inb4 it later devolves to become to be fighting over the guy
Personally i dont think we need the green stones. They're nice but the other 3 seem like things that cant be bought with just stones.
I think id prefer either
[] Soil Studies (+10 bonus development rolls in fief)
[] Rare reagents (Begin Forgotten Elixir Quest, complete Part 1 of 4 immediately)
I'm assuming the forgotten elixir quest is the cyan breakthrough drug recipe we found in that storage ring which is definitely something we want and having a good fief will be important
Though I would really mind if the xp one won

Is it just me, or could that be interpreted as a brutal burn…
yeah, feels like its implying he didn't at all exceed expectations or was even close to trying to exceed them. need way more better results gan.
Hrm... I wonder if Sun Shao is bound by this Compact. He may not be if he intends to subjugate the mountains. And in any case, the 12 Stars Confederation doesn't quite have the Sky to enforce this Compact (although they may get there by throwing prisms at Sun Shao). But Sun Shao's Way seems to get stronger by munching on things...

wantttt.
But, overall I'm leaning towards Soil Studies - the rest we can grind or quest for, and have a worthwhile time as players, but Soil studies is a modifier to dice rolls.
That's just placing your finger on the scales, and we can't do that via grinding
I wonder if Sun Shao could be counting on them fighting and that distracting or weakening the spirit of the jungle so he can rebuild his family while it's focused elsewhere, and he's sacrificed his granddaughter to buy the time to do this.

....O-oh, we're gonna be joined by the Sun delegation, I guess. Every meeting with Liling is gonna be super awkward and unsettling.
Also Sun Shao is a very scary dude especially now that he decided to go out of his territory.
The ice spirits are already busy fighting star guys. On the other hand, I think they are spirits of higher level than the sunflower. So wonder how will it play out
If fight between jungle and tundra endangers the fight against stars, the moon and sun might join in northern parts of the jungle. Which really worries me.

That was unsettling. Poor Liling, it's worse than I hoped though can't say I'm surprised. Can't tell if this is a personality rewrite on the part of the Sunflower Goddess or Lilings attempt at coping or something else. Hopefully we can chat with Ji Rong at some point and tease and get a hint more context.
Wonder what Sun Shao is up to. First thought is he's going after his bordering Cloud Tribes for sacrifices to the Sunflower, but that doesn't explain the intimidation of showing up in person to Shenhua. Hopefully this isn't a crazy alpha strike to try and take out the primary Bai aligned white before moving onto the Bai after, it would be a stupid ass idea but Sun Shao has not proved to have the bets decision making. I'm sure smarter people than me will shortly come up with better theories.

Every single one of our goals is furthered by having a faster/better Cyan breakthrough.
i now wanna see the alternate timeline where we are on sunling side
If nothing else, Sun Shao is no longer tied to the jungle. He's an active white who can now force project. That makes him a lot scarier as an opponent if he can take the fight to you rather than sit in his jungle fortress.
Is it though? I find it hard to imagine that we couldn't manage to get some breakthrough drugs from the Cai.
I am not inclined to take a +10 to rolls because that's so swingy. Could matter, could make no difference at all. Better a bird in the hand and all that.
[] Rare reagents (Begin Forgotten Elixir Quest, complete Part 1 of 4 immediately)
I'm thinking this. It's a quest we'd eventually do anyway, and getting it 1/4 done, bam, just like that is a major boon.

Killing a white when he is far from the sunflower jungles in her home turf is probably beyond even the butcher king.
