Don’t think of it as dying; just as leaving early

Well... maybe.
But did any of them do so?
If not, some other dragon is the most ancient Fire Dragon.
Two are dead and one's shacked up in Athel Loren. In theory Kalgalanos or Abraxas might have taken up Aqshy at some point after they disappeared. But in any case it seems like a huge stretch to take a superlative applied to a side character in the myth of an End Times Chaos Champion as a definitive statement on the fate of every dragon to have ever lived.
Think of the cult as the god's fanclub. The god in question has a limited budget to act in, with few agents trusted to handle the budget, and so many of the ways the fanclub is wrong, isn't wrong enough to smite, or at least a lower priority than the actual problems being addressed.

I don't have the actual text in front of me (and it's end times so it doesn't matter anyway), but it's worth noting that if Skulex was one of the dragons who invented the process of attuning to the winds, then they could be said to be the "most ancient" Aqshy dragon. Even if dragons that were older than them later copied their transformation, Skulex would still be the "first" Fire Dragon.

One thing is that sufficiently wrong subcults will stop getting divine miracles among those capable of channeling them, and yet despite that oftentimes completely contradictory doctrines within a cult will still both be trucking along dishing out miracles.

Most Grey Wizards worship Ranald most prominently in his aspect as the Deciever or perhaps the Night Prowler depending on what they do. But honestly, after looking back at all of Mathilde's actions across the story, I'm starting to believe The Gambler is the side that is most revered by Mathilde. I mean, she clearly worships him in all his aspects, but there's a ton of scenes where her Gambling nature comes out.
Another factor is that while the importance of misdirection, sneakiness, and protecting the innocent were impressed upon her by the Grey Order, they didn't teach her to take chances for the sake of taking chances. That's something solely between her and Ranald.

Argh. At this point Mathy should've just presented the box as a Magister capstone and let the Colleges do whatver the fuck they wanted with it since she's sure not doing anything with it.

Doomposting after the vote closes isn't productive to thread atmosphere.
Mathilde worked out how to use it to fuel Dwarf Runecraft. That's an incredibly potent use the Colleges almost certainly wouldn't have figured out.
It certainly seems the guaranteed success (and immense profit) that Mathilde achieved by hanging on to it is more valuable the mere possible success she would have achieved if she gave it to the College. In my eyes Mathilde made the right decision by keeping the box.

Theres always next turn for AV. Hopefully there will be an opportunity then.

Instead of having it be a solo mission where only Mathilde and Runesmiths get to touch it, maybe we should make it a WEB-MAT project and get the other members like Max, Horstmann to take a look. Obviously collaboration rather than delegation, since that's how WEB-MAT currently works.
Not mentioning Johann because I'm not going to suggest he Breach the Unknown on warp juice and he can't enchant. Not sure how good he is at magical theory. Max on the other hand has Patient and can do incredibly boring work for long periods of time.
We should have involved him a long time ago tbh. Would have helped with the very intricate "boiling point" experiments.

We can't. AV is explicitly a solo project per word of Boney. That said I don't think we're far from a strong personal use for AV I believe the current divine AV research action will give us a personal use for AV to empower our coin and further possibilities are gated behind that action.

We should be able to buy small rune items with gold, i think.
I wonder if dipping the vampire heads in AV would be a good idea.

I also want to learn how much soft power the Queen has. Is she the hands off protector of the constitution type of does she have considerable political and social weight to throw around? Would buddying up with her help or harm our operation and our chances to get Elven mages on board?
I feel like going straight to the queen would be garish. there is always an order to these things, you don't presume to talk privately to a queen until A) she invites you, B) has openly claimed you as a friend (Hidi) or c) you have enough friends among the dukes and courters that your a 'player' or at least friends with one of them. (at least that was how old engish and France courts worked)
probably should stick to the clans and the ward of the frost until we know more.

Probably as good an idea as eating the vampire heads.
That is to say, Mathilde should get to doing both ASAP.
