Oh, liminal realms, of course. That'd fit quite well for a theoretical spatially distorted poles. After all, we already know it's possible:

Wonderful!
This is definitely the "Mathilde gets a silly amount of money" action, then. I'm quite convinced that attention-wise the concern is other trading ventures, not Nordland, who are already watching.

Approval voting for Ladrielle as well as the Hoeth version because I care more about the linguistics books to handle the likely very high DC tablet action. This is the library with Old One lore. If anyone would have relevant linguistic texts it would be them.

Or you could just cast Birdspeak on both yourself and the We and then you can talk directly to each other in birb language without needing an actual birb to act as a translator.
the problem with magic is that, while that seems sensible, that probably wouldn't work. the spell lets you talk to birds, and it is quite likely it will only let you talk to birds as the original caster understood the term.

This is very much counting your chickens before they hatch. The fog-bridge is a popular action in-thread. It is not the only possible action—I'd personally vote for an infiltration action, and wouldn't be particularly sad to see ithilmar win either.
All it takes is enough voters who see the time-limited nature of the ithilmar trade as being more pressing than the time-limited problem of the feud boiling over. Neither are wrong.

Nordland infiltration is also something Eike can do, so that'll be a good way to train intrigue with her—especially with the Hochlander assisting. He specialises in that sort of stuff, after all, and I want to do more spy stuff with him.
It's kind of a shame that the spy stuff is competing with the economy stuff. I know we can just use normal actions for EIC stuff—we're not limited to just one EIC action a turn, we just get the first one free-ish, but then it starts conflicting with all the other stuff we want to do as well.

Not quite. Here is what the story had on it:
The Library-We clearly understand language as it can read and write in several.
As to the 'sliver' of magic… they have souls. They interact with the winds. Presumably they have non-zero magic potential.
Worth trying at least.
Actually that would be a good external social activity. The We read a book on Lingua Praestantia and come to Mathilde for lessons.

Boney already rolled the d100 and only got a ninety-something.
95. I was very sad. Spider apprentice would've been great, and might've gotten Mathilde a "turns people magic" trait.
I guess we'll have to wait for Mandred.
Honestly I feel like we could find some cool information about Mists there, in the same way if we wanted we could get deep gazul lore about souls. And maybe with time we could get some deep mist secrets or something.
NIce, in that case would starting to learn Anoqeyån and searching for the person who will teach (and paying them) be th same action or would they be different actions.

About as likely as deep library secrets from Hoeth, which IMO sounds a lot cooler.
I honestly wonder which college Mandred will end up in. Assuming Ranald doesn't play silly buggers with us and puts him in the Grey Order, I could see him going into Celestial or Gold. Light is also possible, as long as Alric stays away from him.
Ambers are obviously out, and Amethysts might cause an actual riot. Brights... Maybe, he has expressed an interest in knights (which is pretty much the only character trait of his we know off), so going into the militarised order kinda makes sense.
Jades... Oh gods I hope not. Whilst a Grand Prince channeling the Wind of Growth and Fertility is, on paper, a very good idea, it would be like launching a cluster bomb into the Order. A prize like Mandred might actually trigger a civil war in the college.

Everyone knows that any adventuring party worth its salt contains exactly one elf and one dwarf among it's assortment of ratcatcher humans. That's how you know they're Big Time, those two managing to be in the same party.
Light does not work, they can't marry and while adoption is a thing that can happen within the cultural context of the Empire I do not think the Emperor is going to want to cut out the option of a marriage alliance.
Orders from the Emperor override the rules of the Order. Luitpold could order any Light Wizard to get married, including his son for the purposes of a political alliance.
Besides, I'm sure which ever order accepts him would be willing to bend the usual vows and oaths in order to accept his enrollment.
That is for 'can they be a wizard'.
There is a vast range of options between having enough power for full on wizardry and being an absolute magic null.
I am sure the Emperor would but not without political cost to be paid by either him or his son. The lights take their mystical ritual stuff seriously as we have seen
I would pay to see a noble say that to a Bight Lord Magister's face... and then maybe roast marshmallows on the resulting blaze.

The RoW bridge is also a way to prevent Nordland getting uppity. It makes an alliance with the Eonir much more valuable for the Empire as a whole and Middenland in particular. That should act as a significant deterrent
I've said before but I'll emphasise again that the RoW bridge is not an economic action. Any commercial benefit to the EIC is at best irrelevant and at worst actually counterproductive to our goals. It's an act of statecraft designed to change the political and military situation of all the polities on the southern shore of the Sea of Claws and to change the internal political situation of the Empire.
It's using the EIC to advance our wider goals on the largest stage.
More than that, Hysh and Chamon just have much better spells for a ruler than the other lores.

Yeah, but is the cost of messing with their vows greater or lesser than the opportunity to teach, guide, and influence the heir apparent? I think you'll find most orders would be willing to bend over backwards, oaths and traditions be damned.
Besides, the Light oath is mostly a secular "Don't form long term, intimate attachments with people because Hysh doesn't like that and it'll end poorly" sort of thing. I don't think a political marriage actually disrupts that at all?
