@Boney quick question.
What do the elf's we have hired for jobs such as book copying or building the house about this whole thing? Because Mathy has been throwing gold at the usually long term unemployed class of elf.
An odd, but one of gig?
A potential long term new market, or at last job as long as this human thing lasts.
They're Elves. Mathilde has barely been there for the blink of an eye for them.
And I wonder what they are thinking about their skills value in the empire. Can they tell that mathy is an unusually wealthily Bibliophile. Or are some of them wondering if 'elf scribe' might make them a good amount of money… lack of job opportunities has always been an mayor 'work abroad' factor.
Or is that something we need to investigate to get a read on.
Any Toriour that moves away from the city (except for military service) stops being a Toriour. Anyone that values job opportunities over citizenship has already left the city to join the Faniour, where there is always hunting and gathering and fossicking to be done.
