I've seen "Thugni" and "Thungi" in lieu of "Thungni" on several occasions across here and Snorri-quest.
But "Dogmas" in lieu of "Dragomas" is new, and also conjures a very amusing image of a Supreme Patriarch who won his place not because no other Wizard can outfight his dragon-form, but because everyone just squees and goes "Who's a good boy?!" when he shape-shifts into the form of an unbeatably adorable giant Golden Retriever.
It also sounds like "Dogma" which is very much not what Dragomas is about.
In the Waystone Project, Mathilde is only the head of the project (a temporary endeavor that consumes some, but not all of the participants' time, and certainly doesn't define their lives), and her ability to direct it is at least partially built on having been the one to leverage her connections to get all the participants there.
Hunh. On a more serious note, I wonder if the situation when it comes to Mathilde's position as the primary tie that binds all the project members can be improved.
At the moment, Mathilde is still the primary connection that ties together all parties, but it seems to me that there's no reason we can't build further connections to permanently secure what that first stitch merely holds in place. If Mathilde were to die now, the project might fail, or be lessened, but if she were to be made merely the first stitch of many joining the peoples involved together then even undoing her might not be enough.
As the second, and first permanent stitch, we have Thorek using Karak Vlag to building trade ties with Kislev and Laurellorn via trade, using
the crushed and metamorphized Bones of the Sea Marble.
House Tindomiel is looking to make its ties via the construction (or at least final assembly) of the waystones themselves.
We're currently building Eonir trade ties with the Empire and east at large via the EIC spice trade, Nordland Charcoal (subtly) and possible major Middenland route (openly)
As for possible projects to go further on that...
If we got a Sevirophone project prototyped it would make for cooperation between the colleges, though specifically the Golds, and the craftsdwarves of the Karaz Ankor. Both of whom are (currently) on the sidelines.
If we took Panoramia's idea of nutrition (or unwanted additives to be removed) in different dwarven diets it feels like there's a space for a Jade Order project in cooperation with either Runesmiths or the Rhunkit to study Karak Vlag's food production techniques?
We've been using the EIC so far, but the Kron-Azril-Ungol would also be a good tool for building strong institutional ties. Particularly on the academic level.
We also have a transcendent boon from Karak Vlag that could be used to build ties and strengthen all involved, if we could only figure out what to ask for.
The main two things it feels like it need thinking about with current participants is Kislev's trade and academic ties to the Empire...
And also building Hedgewise/Hedgefolk ties to, well,
everyone. At the moment, the Hedgewise seem like the most politically isolated project member.
