We don't know that they're "mono-wind" per se. We just know they specialise. Boney also mentioned that Arcane Marks are seen as tragedies, and they are never embraced. These Shadow Warriors and Mist Mages might have specialties but I bet they can do a couple cantrips in most Winds as well.
I pretty sure that others from Abelhelm's old council are just as willing to trust us. Admittedly, some (Anton, Wilhelmina, Kasamir) more than others, at this point, since I think Mathilde more or less broke contact with Gustav and Schultz after she was fired.
Possibly, but I was more aiming towards magical associates. Should have specified.
The mages coming along with Teclis must've thought "What the hell are you teaching these poor people?". The necessities of war are cruel, but it's even worse because they're so happy with their chiselhands.
Hopefully during the study of the golden bauble we can at least
Yes. Max for instance was allowed to use the library research for his own purposes as well as doing waystone research.
The Perseid meteor showers.
All I'm hearing is we need to replace the Gold Standard with the Lead Standard.
I like how despite not technically wanting to be involved in the internal Light Order politics, Mathilde accidentally made herself into a major piece in that whole charade. Like, look at it from an outside perspective. Alric fucks up severely by losing to Dragomas at the hands of a Moderately Complicated spell, then he suddenly loses his best and most loyal subordinate to some sort of project under the youngest Lady Magister in the Colleges at the moment. One could easily assume that Mira and Mathilde collaborated with each other, with Mira taking advantage of Alric's fall from grace to extract Egrimm from under Alric's grasp and Mathilde accepting him because he's a valuable asset, resulting in her being in "Mira's pocket" so to speak.
What the Eonir did to enforce their ownership is a completely different matter than the legitimacy of their ownership. My point is that it is one thing to say "oh it was long ago anyone who was actually around to own that land was long dead so the people who did nothing beyond be born in the wrong village have more claim" when the original owners are in fact long dead. It is quite another to say "yes you personally got kicked off your land but [for the sake of a comparable human timescale situation] that was grandpa that did it so the grandkids have to be allowed to stay."
Time to do what Mathilde does best! Smile, and act like that was the plan all along.
Just smile and wave, boys, smile and wave.
Minor point, but I confess I didn't get this bit.
Heh. Maybe we recruit a semi-retired Grey Magister for their Collegiate contacts. And knowledge of Beastmen and their Herdstones(?)
How much resistance have Johann and Max built up to it, at this point? Do they still startle amusingly, or are they at the rolling their eyes phase?
Sometimes your boss physically cannot help themselves from bursting into every conference room on a carpet of fire, and That's Just Wizard Things. Get a fire extinguisher, great investment.
There is nothing that implicates Dragomas' involvement in the whole affair, and in fact it would be a bad idea. Nobody likes the thought of the Supreme Patriarch meddling overmuch in the internal management of the Colleges. It's not the Supreme Patriarch who decides who the Patriarch or Matriarch of a College is going to be. It's the College itself. Just because Mathilde is productive outside of Altdorf doesn't mean people can't see the blatant political motivations of Egrimm falling under Mathilde's control, it's very easy to assume that Mira did the heavy lifting and Mathilde was the "Pawn" who would take Egrimm out of the city.
And so the cycle of abuse rolls ever forwards…
Improved that for you.
