Most of the Tilean city-states have sent someone, as once it become known that Tobaro and Miragliano would be sending someone nobody wanted to be left out.

and each heartbeat I spend at the forge will prevent a drop less of Dwarven blood spilled upon Karag Agilwutraz."
less should be removed.
Actually implementing them would be long-term projects - my best estimate is that a team of four magic-users could meet the needs of a province within a decade - but if they are put into place, then the benefits of reducing the amount of stagnant magic would be widespread.
"It would take a full survey of the existing Waystone and tributary network to say for sure, but my best estimate right now would be about five Wizard-years of effort to really nail down the eastern edges of Central and Southern Stirland, and about the same to bolster the network throughout the rest of Stirland."
"Ten years, just to bolster the least part of a largely intact network in a single province?"
....
A gusto that will undoubtedly fade as it sinks in that they'll be spending the next four years of their lives on this. But Roswita had had the local authorities thoroughly explain that the Wizards were taking away the bad magic and making sure it would stay away and that's all that they were doing, and then you'd had a word in a few ears to make it known that the lads could guarantee a good harvest or a bountiful lambing season in their off hours if they were made to feel welcome. A boring but important job somewhere that appreciates you with plenty of opportunities to make friends or shillings on the side is far from the worst of assignments a Wizard could be assigned.
[Stirland Tributaries underway. Estimated completion date: late 2493.]
I guess Mathilde was talking about the week-long rituals when she was talking to Luitpold, but the Stirland part is weird. She tells Roswita it will take a decade. Thinks to herself that it will take four years. The estimated completion date says it will take 3.75 years. She shouldn't have been thinking of the week-long ritual with Roswita. Aethyric Impluvium only takes 2 days, but it is more difficult so it probably does fail more often than the other two would.
I think the estimated completion date is correct. That matches 2/7 of 10 years, plus an extra half-year for delays.
