While Stirland's (well, the Asoborn tribe's) contribution to forming the Empire is very important, the province proper is considered a generally unremarkable place not really known for anything, and as the start of the quest shows, its leaders are generally considered to have low expectations.
Meanwhile, Vlad is the patriarch of his own vampiric bloodline and a big chunk of what makes Sylvania the horrible nightmare land that it is. He very nearly conquered the Empire. He's one of the biggest names in the setting. Overall, I'd go with him.

Besides, Vlad is like millennia older than the Empire, and lives in a setting where heroes have a more outsized impact than IRL (what with magic allowing for crazy concentration of power, and high end hero units being immune to everything except other high-end heroes/lucky mid-enders and maybe divine intervention).

Great Man Theory has Warhammer by the throat, that's for sure.
Unless they are a flying hero. Then they can just flap away from the stab forest.

It's crazy how something that's been built up and planned for for literal months can suddenly become the most terrifying thing in the world with one middling dice boneypost. Is any of this good? Is anything terrible? Aggghhhhh

First two where decent, third a but less so but not terrible, and we got a pick me up right before face planting at the end there.

Don’t think of it as dying; just as leaving early

To be fair, people with necromantic powers kind of cheat there, seeing as they can become the sole person in a large army.

Incredible prescience
Well I think the Light Order did well right? Maybe Egrimm pulled out some pyramids from Nehekhara that will be usable?

Suppose it depends on your definition of doing well. They certainly did the best out of everyone, but we don't know the breakpoints here.

Either way its gonna mean extra work to figure everything out. The project got really lucky on those tributary rolls.

Maybe Zlata simply can't get anything from her superiors... or maybe the Ice Witches as an organization do in fact have nothing because they're not at all involved with the Winds. Or maybe they'll suggest an actively detrimental solution that causes some brief drama in the Project.
Like, if I was an Ice Witch then "our" Waystones don't need to make the Winds flow at all. Why not turn it all into Dhar, if the Widow is going to purify it anyway?

It could also be that the Ice Witches are a bit busy dealing with the aftermath of some huge event in Kislev, like, say, the death of its leader?

Ahh, that 70 must be good ol' Egrimm, our reliable and trustworthy friend. Heading into the Light Archive saying he has some ideas bouncing around in his Skull about how to find Waystone knowledge, and coming back out with RESULTS.
Everyone could learn a thing or two from him!

Given what we did in Kislev just now and the way that the highest figures in any given religion do travel for the conclave every few years, I'd say a grey patriarch that *couldn't* meaningfully damage every other religion in the empire is a grey patriarch that isn't even trying.

Lmao, also possible.
On another roll... I wonder how Runesmithing interguild cooperation tends to happen. I imagine it doesn't tend to be the Kragg way of taking one look at someone's prototype rune and then making something like it just from that.

Some mid rolls, but mostly probably not any failures except for that last one.
I would almost be disappointed if it were just laid at the feet of the Tzar issue, though. It feels a bit too obvious.

Might also be that the Local Political Drama has rolled Witch Attention away from Foreign Projects
Edit: i did NOT SEEEE THE OTHER QUOTESSSSS AAAA

Is there something wrong with obvious choices? Roll results usually aren't interpreted in a vacuum, but influenced by, blamed on, and end up shifting the circumstances that surround them. I don't think it'd be just about the Tzar issue, but I'd be surprised if it played no role.
