Do not discount the Amazons, they have advanced magic and maybe even technology (seriously there is one Amazon that is just a laser gun) but they too live in Lustria so they need military allies, especially with the Skaven doing Skaven things to the environment.

Oh that sound pretty standard, I think I heard of that-
…I need some context.
Oh shit they exist, I completely forgot. I thought y'all were joking but than I remember all the times people complained how underused they were.
Oh right there is also skaven. Are there Orks at all? I remember that they keep a feral population to ahem "Thin the mammal population on our shores" so there's probably Orks around somewhere.

The Asur patrol the waters around the area and probably want to make sure you aren't trading in contraband, like the aforementioned gold plaques that will get the Slann to nuke where ever you end up putting them at.
The Asur understand how humans work, so they try to check all ships going back to the Old World for plaques so they can give them back before a Lizardman army shows up.
~Flynn Rider, hotly justifying the necessity of hiring an expensive Amazon Expert/Interpreter from the imperial colleges.
(Jk jk. The amazons are indeed very good allies to have, if one has the daring and diplomacy to find and befriend them.)
As Imperious said, Slann plaques will indeed trigger the fuckity fuck out of the Asur, who are the largest navy on the planet and also patrol all of the trade routes between the old and new world.
They also want to check for druchii/chaos artefacts, and slaves. Particularly Asur slaves.

The Amazons are very old lore, they are old lore in fantasy the way the Slann are old lore in 40K, technically never been ret-coned, but also have not been mentioned in decades.
Greenskins are everywhere. There's a huge pile of savage ork tribes and jungle goblin mobs all over Lustria. Basically lurking anywhere that the Slann are not continually purging.

Sadness… welp now we get to add to that lore! Also really? I've heard of the amazons stuff but I never heard of slann in 40k. Was there actual lore in 40k talking about them or is it something else?
Edit: Wait is it those future watchers things that can predict the future but suck at actually doing anything with it? Those guys?
A note on lore.
To Clarify a bit about the Amazons and other such old lore:
For the sake of making this quest a bit more interesting -and to flesh out the overly grimdark, somewhat homogenous and quite barren Lizard/Orc/Skaven saturated Lustria at the end of Warhammer Fantasy's lifecycle- I will be using quite a lot of GW's older and often quite diverse lore, with some modifications to fit it within my own head-canons and views. This will include some significant alterations to basic or only lightly described tidbits of lore, and it will mean that the continent of Lustria -deep, dark and mysterious- will hold a lot of things to be discovered beyond stinky rat-furries, psychotic cockney mushrooms and Jurassic Park obessed scalies.
A few spoilers tidbits, for the curious.

We do deserve to exist.
Actually, isn't it Midas Come Again that's the runner-up? It has 4 votes, while the Doofenschmirtz votes are split between different plans (with one having 3 and the other just 1.)

Isn't that exactly what is stated?

Yeah, my bad. Only saw the "followed by Doof" bit after the leader.

Not true! WFRP 4e's book on Lustria came out just last year, and it firmly mentioned Amazons.
In better news... [WFRP 4e: Lustria] page 38
Hell yeah! Though, the book doesn't really elaborate more than this, probably because of the following reason (from the WFRP discord):
EDIT: Other pages in the book do mention them, they definitely exist, it just doesn't expound on them any more than that excerpt does.

Eh. Either way I love making up lore, mostly because there is a sheer lack of it. I've said it before, but what we get is great, but there isn't enough of it. 40k has like 40 damn books dedicated to the Horus heresy alone, but I'll be damned if I want to find some warhammer fantasy books that I can make a chronological order with.
It's mostly just choosing a character you like and going with it. Which is fine, it's good stuff. Just not enough depth outside of the little bubble.

[X] Plan Midas Come Again
Given this quest is largely about cultivating prestige, a Merchant Dynasty is the most fun option to me. I do wish we had a little higher diplomacy though given how important that will probably be for actually securing trade routes. With any luck money will let us at least pay for a fair few advisors - if we so chose.
"The glory they'll gimme, my dear pal old Karl, will probably build me a shrine! It's goooooold, and it's mine, mine, mine!"

[x]Plan Doofenschmirtz: slight change
Only 12 hours left for Midas (7) or Doof (5) to tie up the vote with Flynn(15)!
Meanwhile I need to consider all of the options for ancestry, and I think I'm settling on my original plan, which was to have the initial vote simply be to have an option for MC to be raised pure imperial -granting a small bonus to diplomacy with the staunchly traditional imperial faction-, or to have been given a splash of non-empire culturing from the acknowledgement of a non-imperial close ancestor -which will grant a smol diplomatic bonus with the non-imperial human faction-.
It is noteworthy that having non-imperial blood is not a malus with regard tonthe imperial faction, as to my mind the Empire's conservatives is far too busy with it's own insular political game to bother that much with anyone's bloodline.

For Flynn I think the stand outs would be Norscan via Norland to get that yearning for the sea, maybe a bit of a wild side or or Tilean/Estalian if we want to go more Zoro with him.
