Victoria. She and Alfred were apparently at it like Gomez and Morticia Addams before he passed.

So in order: don't know, Frederick the Great or that one English king, Ivan the Terrible, the medieval Habsburg, don't know and Alexander the Great?

Probably a quarter of all monarchs were on the speedball diet at some point because cocaine and opium was half of pharmaceuticals back then, but it's commonly claimed of Victoria for stomach troubles. The slice of desert thing was the whole Crusades business so you can chalk up at least a dozen monarchs, but special credit to Barbarossa for drowning while trying to cross a river in friendly territory.

That's kind of my point, these weren't just the really bad ones that the system worked around, it was also a lot of the ones considered capital-G Great by history that were extremely broken people because we were just kinda shit at producing non-broken people back then. Still rather are, to be honest.

I very rarely add 'wave Mathilde in the general direction of a specific person/group' social actions because once introductions are over the characters tend to just stand there, staring uncomfortably at the fourth wall. Unless there's something really interesting that's actively happening in that general direction, there needs to be some sort of specific task or question or subject that will take more than a couple of sentences to base the interaction on.

Then would it be a valid idea to use our shared faith as common grounds to get our foot in the door to compare notes on liminal realms/the Hedge and Grey/Hedge Magic?

while you're here @Boney , would you mind if I used your spellbooks ? I'm in the process of writing down the character generation for a wizard quest :D

Go for it, they're a paraphrasing of the 2e Realms of Sorcery spell lists with the mechanics stripped out.

As a regular action, yes. Not as a social action.

I think Ghyran has the least problematic set of Arcane Marks for a ruler.

Yes but its also kind of beneath the Elector Count to help out on the fields. Light (for their anti-corruption reputation), Gold (for that drip) or Fire (associated with service on the battlefield) are probably the best PR bets.

Celestials have good relationships with the nobility, and seeing the future is incredibly useful. Flying and shooting lighting is just the icing in the cake.

Mandred going to the Bright Order would end up becoming very politically secure within Reikland.

Bright wizards tend to be the most active militarily, and beloved by the rank and file for how effective they are at killing.

With Flashcook, Taste of Fire, Hearts of Fire, a bright-wizard leader will be beloved by the army even if he doesn't act like living artillery.
 
Honestly what we should be doing is getting a list of every apprentice capable Magister, LM, and journeymen viable for promotion and rolling on that like it's a d66 table

For those worried that Mandred being a Celestial would clash with Ranald, I'm pretty sure Boney has said before that Mathilde getting predictive/luck magic wouldn't be an issue if it was her own magic. But going out and buying it is a whole different ball-game.
 
This is almost certainly a no go but @Boney , How much land could we get for this, especially on the coast. Could we say, buy a Nordland village that hasn't been wrecked but is still technically on Laurelorn soil?
 
I feel getting money for Mathilde personally to go on a buying spree in Lothern is a pretty good idea if we're committed to it. We deserve to splurge and there's likely some good stuff we can get.

I'll also note I feel like we might be able to get a cheaper set of Ithilmar armour where it is more plentiful :D

Finally sincerely doubt the sapling is an oak of ages thing. Its likely a damn fine tree, but I get the feeling that growing one would be a lot more difficult and probably would catch the attention of a certain bark based bastard.
 
Please no buying land, we do not have the time to take care of it.
Let's just get some trade goods and throw them at EIC, or gems we can convert to money in Ulthuan if we must have money right now.

I thoroughly expect that it was an Acorn of Ages. It's basically doing exactly what you'd expect it to.

I just don't think the resulting tree is necessarily quite as important.
