... I was waiting for the vote to close so that I could complain to Boney about how I wasn't ready to have an apprentice, and also how he was going to have me teack Ekie when Ekie, the colleges and magic kinda don't exist!?
If it comes down to it I guess we might end up using the boon, but will they really be so reluctant to share their books? We almost checked out their attitudes about a book agreement at Kazrik and Edda's wedding, but that option lost by a single vote to the order of guardians, so we can't know for sure. But in my opinion there shouldn't be any problem if we offer a mutually beneficial agreement where Karak Vlag also gets copying rights from our library.
I want Johann to take Eike around Laurelorn for diplo practice after a few turns of her getting settled.
The idea of getting books from Karak Vlag originated in this reply from Boney about who might have books on the fire spire:
From this we can deduce that Karak Vlag preserved any books on magic they had. How much is that? No idea. But I'm very willing to find out, both because of the potential for books that are had to come by elsewhere and because I just want more Vlag dammit.
Hoping there'd be some
Some time ago, Codex brought up whether it'd be possible to use Runic arrays or something of the sort to help in library preservation, and Boney said this:
So that's a possibility for the Boon, too. They do have a lot of Runesmiths that can do simple runes by their own admission. Though, the thread speculated at the time that bringing in Vlag would likely be seen as supporting them, so it should really be left until after Thorek presumably breaks apart the Runesmith's Guild and puts it back together.
This is I think also the point when Wilhelmina was expecting to be able to resume training Eike into the family business of Being a Trade Mogul?
If so, it seems likely her Grandma will have some expectations of training time with Eike, too, which we will need to discuss with her.
Well, it seems that whichever unlucky bastard is in charge of K8P branch, they are having another stressful meeting with 56% of shareholders in near future.
This makes me vaguely sad and it's unfortunate Wilhelmina can't go Heidi's route of getting youth from the Shyllans - also because it looks like Eike wants to be a nerd-grey as opposed to a buisness-grey.
Another Omake perhaps?
Must suck for the elves to get wisdom teeth.
I am more interested in just what they have for enamel, if it is supposed to last for millenia of use, given that human teeth get bad in under a century
No, that's the Dwarfen solution.
Nah, I can see Dwarven teeth just... not wearing out. Teeth that last for centuries, whether through self-repair or solid maintenance and being Just That Sturdy, seems entirely within their idiom.
