Ok, 12 hours have passed so it should be vote time now.
[X] Plan: Last-minute searching
-[X] The Prince's Rest: Located in the Gold Mound and the most elite inn in the entire city that could have bulk rooms booked ahead of time, the Prince's Rest is famous for its high grade accomodations, including a specialized coachyard and stable for those fellows who might be eccentric enough to have non-standard mounts up to and including gryphons, pegasi, and in one notable instance a camel of Araby. (Cost: 100 Gold Crowns A Night For Entire Retinue)
-[X] Plan To Do Something Tomorrow: (Write-In) [EX: Revisit a district with a specific purpose, journey to a different district, try to once again speak with Evangeline or even perhaps just the Matriarch/Patriarch in the city of the Magic Colleges, speak with Maghda again)
--[X] Visit a play at one of the major theaters in the gold mound with Natasha.
--[X] Visit any notable districts you didn't get to yesterday to complete the alcohol tour, look for anything that may attract your interest for trade, or just general interest.
--[X] Go back to Indic District and Arabtown and try and get some seeds and/or samples of rubber and coffee. Maybe the engineers or Jade Wizards can figure out a way around the plants' finicky climate needs. Failing that try and find a merchant willing to import the stuff to Ostland on a regular basis. Oh and maybe pick up a weapon or two for your own armory while you are at it.
--[X] See if anyone from not-Nippon town has knowledge of the ships or weapons from that part of the world and see if you can convince them to move to Ostland. They might offer your own people some unexpected insights. Pick up a weapon or two from here as well.
--[X] Go back to the Temple of Verena, maybe you can run into the Sword of Justice and have that chat you weren't able to before. Failing that try and see if their archives have anything interesting. It's a longshot but Leonardo did this city and if anyplace might have a copy of his records it's here.
--[X] Gather Your Retinue, And Set Out For Home. You've had quite enough of this city for now, you think. (Begin Journey Home)
I changed the vote slightly to include trying to grab a weapon or two from Ind and Arabtown on the off chance we might snag a piece of Indan Bloodsteel for examination. In the worst-case scenario it turns out to be heretical shit and we melt it down, in the best case, we get another piece of metallurgical knowledge.
Anyway, to restate what I said before in case somebody missed it, I don't really see the point of visiting Luigis town, according to the Warhammer wiki it's just more Tileans and we've already met some of those so I recommend visiting a different place.
Knife alley is not so named because that's where criminals hang out but rather so named because that's where the duel prone Estalians live. Last I checked we haven't visited the Estalians yet so we might as well, plus we have Ogre bodyguards in case something happens. The Nipponese are supposed to be some of the best sailors in the world so even though it's a long shot we might get someone who knows their ships. Also, last I checked greenhouses for tropical plants exist IRL so it might be possible to set something like that up for small-scale coffee and rubber production.
On a totally unrelated side note while trying to figure out what the hell bloodsteel actually
is I accidentally found out the Ind people actually DO seem to have one supreme deity based on a wooden statue mentioned in the Ogre Kingdom 6th edition:
"Nevertheless, at least one of the thousand Indish gods, known as
Brahmir and depicted with four arms, holds a particular horror for the worshippers of the
Dark Gods."
Brahmir was obviously based on Brahma the Supreme Hindu creator deity who created all the other Hindu deities. So either he's a supreme deity in Ind or just a really powerful law god equivalent.
