Once we need them (i.e have some knowledge on how to repair or build waystones),i expect we will be able to tell the colleges, and they will push people our way.
We get one Grey Lord and don't exactly know his specialisation.
High praise for people who have their own pocket dimensions to be shut ins in
Every century is a busy century
The only clue we have is that the head priest that threw the Ulrican was the predecessor to the head priest of 2522.
It helps that this is the most popular quest on the site, I'm pretty sure.
Which vote was it?
I think it was the "after K8P" vote, when we were voting on what Mathilde should do next. Waystones won.
I just checked, there was 663 votes
Most people also can't even detect Divine signatures. Mathilde can because of Avatar (and Deathfang inexplicably is capable of doing so), but most people can't. Arguing against Godly intervention is pretty hard when you can't prove it.
I don't think Halétha is important enough for her priests to he above suspicion like that. We're talking theoretical knowledge of the inner mechanics of practical application of concrete spells here. Of sharing and integrating various potentially useful parts of the Hedgewise magical paradigm into the greater whole that we are setting up here. That's not the kind of stuff that a priest of a lesser deity that's neither ever actually cast a spell nor harbored and collaborated with illegal witches should have access to. It's the kind of stuff that would only be written in very restricted books that people get access to on a need to know basis and that he would have to have studied forwards and backwards in order to have the kind of knowledge that usually only comes with habitual practice.
And this specific priest has a grey lady magister behind him to vouch for his knowledge in the arcane and esoteric. He probably shouldn't cast stuff himself without making sure it can look like a divine prayer.
So this is the full team for the start of the project
I mean yeah, his priest-status will work fine as a legal fig leaf. But I'm pretty sure that if Aksel doesn't hold back with advice and observations then none of the Magisters will be fooled. And if he does hold back then, well, he's holding back and his theoretical knowledge won't flow as easily and smoothly during brainstorming and experimentation.
Are you sure. I thought Halétha was also worshipped by people who, as far as they themselves know, have nothing to do with the Hedgefolk. The Forest of Shadows is huge and has many villages in need of protection.
