I know. And the Duchy of Mousillon probably needs them too. My argument is that we should shore up support for the project, at least until we finish our research. We can do Kislev tributaries on the following turn anyway.

I think this might be context to the attempted Furdienst colonisation. They got kicked out of the Wasteland and went over to rebuild in new wetlands, only to summarily get The Golden age of Beastmen in the lore'd.

That is a point, but she is the one with the purported deep Nehekaran lore, I'd like to see if she can actually prove that.
I think they can find each other just fine without us playing matchmaker, but you are right it is an interesting element
We could also do a Dhar Insight paper just to see how hard it gets classified.
Fair point, I just don't want to spread her to thin, maybe drop the Lustrian papers then? That is the weakest of the ones she has in the plan IMO
I get where you are coming from but the project is moving at insane speed by elf standards, I do not think they are anywhere near losing interest.

I am 99% sure that this action involves the finding, defeating and imprisoning. The "staple to your soul" bits are almost certainly gonna happen in the spell creation followup.
It's still probably the best place for the Gambler, unless we want it on the apparently very difficult foundation.

In the Griffon Wood yeah.
And the local Hag Witches probably have ties to the Ostland Hedgewise, they might be able to bring in some Was Jutones casters.

My main thing is them feeling scorned. Stirland might have been the testing ground, fine. Kislev is now a foreing polity and we bought the collaboration of magical institutions, not from the Tsardom of Kislev itself.
What excuse do we have to not do it on Laurelorn next, when the reason they literally called us was that they are losing tributaries?

I was going to ask if they needed us for the Dreaming Wood tributary but then I remembered that the casting language is Lingua Preastantia.
I like Kislev, but I don't think it'd hurt anything to start Laurelorn next.
Actually yeah now that I think about it we want Aksel and Cadaeth on any international tributary action, such as Kislev. Unlike the province actions to set up tributaries, those actions don't involve specifying a ritual, I think they're about sharing all the rituals we have, so we should have people who know all three rituals present. There'll be spot in Kislev without water for spirit tributaries, the Haléthan and Dreaming Wood tributaries could plug some of those holes.
Another possible gain from going to Laurelorn is that it might get the isolationist House Thyriolan on our side. They don't want to get involved with humans, but they care about the Waystone network, so saying "there's an alternative Waystone tributary you can use but only if you work with humans" might be enough to sway them to our side.

Ah so this is something you only might worry about if Prince Mandred (Who due to his sheer importance you're probably creating a full charsheet for regardless whether or not he later becomes Mathilde's apprentice) rolled to be a outlier when it comes to magical power then?
(In Mandreds case he's probably a outlier of some kind in something, not necessarily in magical power even, a god like Ranald pumping so much divine juice into a child's birth probably has all sorts of weird effects)

Boney, is it Aethyric Impluvian or Arcane Impluvium?
You use Aethyric in the original post but Arcane in the most recent.
We could also try to go for the book and then keep it in our library...

- being near locations is my passion.
I do think having everyone on foundations is a bit iffy, unless Boney would allow for us to split it over two AP. I think it it might also somewhat come down to the difficulty of writing such a scene with so many characters.

I... was mildly against putting Eike on a windfall action, as I thought that might intrude a bit on Egrimm and Mathilde's interaction but there's nothing stopping the two of them having a bit of a moment while Eike's just not present.
@Boney wrt a windfall action, is the following both sensical to you and allowable?:
'-[ ] EGRIMM: Write a paper (Observations on the Windfall north of the Dark Lands), Egrimm credited as primary author and Mathilde as secondary'

We could but the turn after this we probably want to do the AV paper next and there is little to gain from having a half finished book while we get on that.
Yeah, but we could finish it as some point later on and I don't think there's much that we could gain from a paper about that topic.
I mean there is no more we could gain from half a books on practically one of the other dynasties' coinage. I'm not wedded to the concept though, if most people want a book I'll put it in.

It's not that I care about Nehekharan coins, but looking at the other topics we have available... it might become part of a series when we run out of current things to write about and turn to the other Nehekharan coin topics, and I enjoy the thought of adding to Mathilde's reputation for jumping across an incredibly broad array of topics. Why not coins, anyway?
Probably.
Aethyric, fixed.
Sure.

If we're doing Nehekharan coins I'd rather get started on one of the books, probably 4th dynasty, so we can release them in order.

Mathilde's skilled enough in tradecraft that the thieves wouldn't know anything about the KAU connection - they'd merely know that someone had put a bounty out on such books for some reason.
It'd be easy to connect Mathilde causally (you put out a bounty for books without asking questions, and someone passed a percentage of that bounty on to the criminal underworld taking their own cut in the middle) but hard to prove that she did it intentionally, although a lot of people would believe she had. (The fact that she's so bombastic in much of what she does helps to hide the fact that she's good at tradecraft; but to those who know more... well, she's a heavily-Ranaldan Grey Wizard, the chances of her encouraging theft by accident are kind of low.)
