Isn't Luitpold also the Elector Count of Reikland? If we want the province's army protecting the Nexus, briefing him about the Project would be an excellent way to explain why he should do it.

Yeah, kislev probably has some interesting stuff. Learning about their gods if nothing else. As for bretonnia... well, there's probably some trashy Arthurian romances Mathilde can add to her collection.

Maybe we should take a trip to araby some time. They probably have more nehekara stuff than the empire if nothing else.

Was it this quest that had some maybe-a-tomb-king dude ruling over some arabyan city states and getting in a war with Settra?

Not this quest. Only interactions the quest has had with Araby is that one Arabyan magician attended Mathilde's lecture on Waaagh magic, and Cython spent some time there a millennia ago.
 
I would really like people to think about voting for the Middenland.

It's really important now that we are getting somewhere that we don't get blindsided by any problems between the Wolf priests and the Wolf Elves.

Like, it's a situation we have already been tactfully ignoring for awhile now. We really can't do so forever.
 
This chapter had a lot of little bits that I loved

the fortress of Black Rock is outside its walls. Maybe it was named for the presence of a literal, and particularly impressive, black rock?

there's a castle in the southern Skaag Hills that's just called 'The Horn', and I can't find any record as to why. Could be it was built on something horn-shaped

Considering humanity? A valid approach.

I think the external action may be by elves form Ulthuan who are visiting as delegates to counter the druichi.

Yeah, it feels like it's time for the high elves to start to weigh in—if not this turn, then probably within the next 3-5, if not sooner.

If we think Asur diplomats may show up soon, it's even more urgent to talk to the Druichi now, so we have a better hand when talking to the former.

Yeah, I wouldn't put it past Boney to have planned this a turn or two ago. We've been speculating multiple times that next turn's title is probably '...Like an Avalanche', and Ulthuan sending diplomats would be enough to warrant that, let alone all the progress we've been having on the waystones, or the AV/Liminal Realm/oh hey theres a Lord of Change telling us we could be an Everchosen developments.

Speaking of Ulthuan, what are people's thoughts on getting Asur diplomacy lessons before negotiating with them for leyline passwords (regardless of how many turns in the future it may be)? Is it worth having every advantage possible, or just overkill when we could use The Gambler to give us a greater shot at it?

For the Asurs, the Colleges are a bunch of cute puppies playing around with forces they barely understand. I think we should take every advantage we can.
 
I expect that if the Asur are coming, (and that's a big if) it's not because of Mathy and her project, but as a counter to the Druchii Diplomats.

They probably did not even know we where here until they arrived. And that we are an unexpected (and frankly unwanted) compilation to their mission.

High Elve Dip quest probably throw a fit at the curve ball of arriving in the city to find a human lead magic research outpost, and is now spending one of their AP to figure out 'what the hell is going on?'

So if we pick the Emperor we are basically going to tell him that yes, there is an unclaimed magical nexus in his province and that yes, you can tax people because of it.

Interesting.

I wouldn't be sure of that. The Asur have an embassy in Altdorf, and I don't think the Waystone Project is that secret, given the level of investment.

Just as we have friends amongst the dwarves, other Magisters or members of the Imperial Court may have friends at Ulthuan's Embassy.

The Asur could well have received an in-depth briefing on who we and the other Collegiate members of the Waystone Project are, along with copies of some of our less sensitive publications.

I really doubt it. Boney has made it clear that the Asur would not like the project and would try to pressure the empire to stop it. That might not have been successful but we definitely would have heard of it.
 
I'm not sure how secret the project is, but I can easily see it flying under the noses of the Ulthuan embassy because we actually haven't done anything overt yet. A little bit of trade with the Eonir, and mostly just flying about in a gyrocopter. That's not going to attract their attention directly to us.

However, the Eonir are making overt diplomatic plays to both the Asur and the Druchii. That's going to pull them in, and once it does it won't be hard for them to notice that a high ranking Lady Magister who's spent the last decade fighting for the dwarves is guest of honour in an elf city, and that will raise a lot of questions.

I think we really need to check in on them to learn more about them for negotiation.
[X] Brief the Emperor
We could skip this one and I wouldn't feel that bad, but I think that especially given what we just found out it's time to brief the top guy.
[X] Panoramia
Obviously a requirement.
[X] Thorek
I want to check up on what inroads Thorek has made for more context when we're dealing with the houses.

I like Max.

I like the idea of building ties to Verena.

Mechanical benefits aside, taking in Orphans is a good thing.
