If Baba Niedzwenka still recognized the modern Ungols as her people, she'd still be killing Gospodars in their name. The king she swore to is forgotten, the language she swore in is spoken by maybe a dozen or so academics, and the Gods she swore by are no longer recognizable. The Ungols of today are as alien to her as the Gospodars were when the Khan-Queens led them to war. The only motivation of hers left that anyone's been able to identify is to not be bored.

That does mean she is probably also pro-the World Not-Being-Swallowed-By-the-Realm-of-Chaos, eternal torture sounds boring.
 
If that's feasible, it would have some wonderful synergy with all these canals that Mathilde keeps convincing people to build... Certainly worth exploring!
Ehhhh, hard to say if that would work. Part of the riverine transmission is based on rivers being metaphysically semipermanent, yeah? Ages of water moving in this line making magic move along with it. Canals won't have that weight of years for a while yet

If Baba is not trying to be bored I am sure Murdering chaos members who come for the waystone will make her happy. Who does not love killing Khorne, Tzeentch and Slaanesh worshippers.

Those have indeed not changed over the last several thousand years so it might even be nostalgic. That said we need her on the project not playing tower defense in Praag. At least I'm still interested in making that cheap spirit transition waystone that can be spammed in relatively safe populated areas.
 
After looking at the various options and reading the arguments, I'm voting for New Town.

[X] Bridge of Death and New Town

The citizens won't be too happy to start with, but the Z'ra will, and he's in the position to further fund the Waystone rollout in Praag.

Right, the Waystones' output probably wouldn't be able to flow through any new canals. What canals would do is allow theoretical Waystone barges to travel between rivers more easily and thus to concentrate in the places where they're most needed with greater speed and efficiency. That's a major improvement in and of itself!

What fully convinced me was Boney saying this vote is a line in a history book.

We're going to cover the world in waystones no matter what, I'd like the first Waystone remembered as being placed besides the greatest ruin-monument to international magical cooperation in history, alongside the Magnus Gardens and other symbolic sites.
 
Just had an interesting thought, we may have accidentally rehabilitated Magister Conrad Becher. I mean think about it, this is the first place to receive a New Waystone, certainly the most tainted and he is the wizard on the spot. Assuming a bit of skill and diligence on his part (and there is no sign he lack either) he could soon be an expert on their deployment second only to the people on the Project itself. Given how in demand stones are going to be throughout the Old World that is a very valuable skill.

Why would the gods she swore by unrecognizable? While their worshippers might change, I can't see how a god would change in a few thousand years when it has the same name, inhabits the same domain and region, and has the same themes. Does she lack the personal connection to any of those gods like Mathilde has?
 
Now thats my comedy.
Have we considered that if everything is Ranald pretending to be something else, we can make a delicious Burrito by praying to Ranald to pretend to be a delicious burrio?
Billy Bishop says: changing your comedy? That's a bad strategy son, plus it's gruesome. Tell the same.joke over and over again, that's what I do. I hope this was helpful! 👍

If i recall correctly, In the last three hundred years, Manaan has changed because Asur talked Marienburgers into it. The carved out remains are known as Stromfels.
Deliberately sinking a seaworthy ship is antithetical to the modern Cult of Manann. Marienburg's treaty with Ulthuan required them to cut loose the part of the Cult that venerated the sinking of ships and the violent death of sailors, which became the outlawed Cult of Stromfels. The High Priest of the Cult of Manann being involved in the deliberate and unjustified destruction of a ship underway and filled with passengers would be a religious crisis and could jeopardize the relationship between Marienburg and Ulthuan.
That about give you an idea how a god could possibly change overnight, much less in millenium long cultural evolution process?
