I'd still prefer the hand maidens.
They seem more versatile, if less shock and awe option.
Also i don't really get the whole nazgul fascination. LotR is great, sure, but i don't feel the need to really follow in its wake.

As part of of the Red rider lobby I would like to remind that we can bind multiple of the same kind of apparations as seen by golden hounds. So nothing is stopping us from going full Witch King and binding 8-9* of them. Instant cavalary squad is enough to ruin anybodies day. And very stylish.

Boney has stated before that the difficulty and risk of binding apparitions goes up the more of them you bind to use in a single spell. Binding two is twice as hard as binding one, and so forth.

Gehenna's Golden Hounds summon either one or two hounds, for instance, and they're a Battle Magic spell. I have to presume that a Rider In Red is better in combat than a single Hound, so for all we know, it may be as hard to bind one Rider as it is to bind two Hounds. On the other hand, Boney did mention that it is speculated that the Ambers' suspected Apparition-spell is not Battle Magic at all, so possibly one can bind an Apparition strongly enough that their power decreases but it is safer to use.

So let's not jump to binding more than one Rider until we actually have the first in hand.
 
You are ignoring content by this member.
I have an idea for a simple solution, if the problem is crowding the soul and the difficulty of binding, we just need to offload these aspects onto a friend, say a large, birdlike one who lives up north

(Please do not do this we will be killed)
 
So... walking in the footsteps of Marion the Totally Cool and Not Evil Guy aside, what do we plan to do about the books this turn. I think it is fair to say that we should not be spending our own money on books given that we are about to send off most of it to Borek, but what about the Library?

I'm thinking we grab the Old Ones books from the Eonir, since we started the project @Boney confirmed that we can get those copied over as they have no military relevancy but they would be a hell of a flex on the colleges as humans only have rumors of rumors of them around and even the dwarfs do not have Old One books. On top of that maybe see if the elves know anything about Khosar, they did have contact with Nehekara during the Golden Age.

Boney said we can't do that with the random Cityborn scribes we're currently using for copying Eonir books, since those are some of the Library's most precious tomes and scrolls. We need to get scribes who can be trusted to handle those (and literate in Eltharin), which aren't that common. So we need to at least do the Scribes action for KAU, I guess.

Ah right thanks for reminding me, maybe we do a dwarf+Empire run then and see if Khosar is something either knows about.

The Empire has books on the Nehekaran pantheon in general, but if you want more in-depth books on a specific god, you need Arabyan or Nehekaran books. Kind of like how we can get books on the elven pantheon in general from the Colleges, but we need to go to elven civilizations for books about specific Cadai or Cytherai. The Empire simply doesn't know enough to put together that many books.

Well books on the pantheon in general still might be interesting especially if the dawi also have similar.
 
I won't deny that there is a certain appeal to the aesthetic of the Black Riders, but consider this—a living fog made of blackest night, tracking and hunting their prey, silencing their cries as it enfolds around them, devouring them until there is no trace left.

You can do really scary targeted assignations with it—a Skaven chieftain, commanding his troops from the back line? A corrupt noble giving a toast at a banquet? A necromancer, thinking he's safe at the top of a haunted tower?

First you see them... and then you don't.
 
Calling it now: if we do bind Riders by entrapping them in Ulgu, they won't look like Ringwraiths. Boney will mess with us and go with the other visual aspect of Ulgu, mist.
