For the elves, a single divine weapon of unrivalled power that only the greatest of champions could hope to wield.
For the humans, One Neat Trick that any idiot can pick up and use to devastation and volatile effect.

The creation of a knightly order drawing perpetuals from every college and train them into a force of mounted magical warriors. (Great boon for knightly order, vlag boon for runed equipment)
Counterpoint: A flying tower is really just a very advanced and fancy fortification, which is one of the most traditional things to add runes to.
Which ones and how? We're already allowed to earn money and spend it on useful things.A whole lot of future problems and issues with us getting that financial prowess can be sloved if we get rid of that vow.
Look we're on the cusp of taking over the silk trade.
That's a whole lot of money.

We can already make a paramilitary river navy through the EIC. And we can also make a land army as a knight of Stirland.There a difference between some useful pocket change and the ability to fund a small army.

Mathilde of Many Colours.
@Boney, the same way we can make ourselves free of the vow of poverty, could we make Eike free of it? Maybe the both of us?
Hell, how much can we stretch it? Could we make her apprentice / heirs too? Her entire bloodline?
@Boney Would it cost anything to ask each of them what they are planning to do with their Orbs on top of our actual request?
IIRC it caused the duels by driving the reader insane.Doesn't the Light College has a BÖOK left by Volentus? The one that was the cause of the Night of a Thousand Arcane Duels? We should ask to have access to it. I'm really curious about its content.
We'll use the Gambler's side of Ranald's Coin for it. It should reduce the risks significantly.
You're very likely to get seven answers of 'one more Battle Altar in rotation' and one of 'powering the defences keeping something contained that I can't tell you about and you don't want to know about'.
No, it's the Lights. The Lights are the ones with the best mental defence spells in the Colleges, period, and it was a Light that went insane. The Greys have NO mental defence spells.Edit: Also Mathilde is a Grey. If someone has a chance to evade or neutralise mental effects from an artefact, it's the Grey.
@Boney on a note unrelated to the actual vote, I gotta ask out of curiosity: just how classified is the AV book going to end up being?
I imagine the Colleges won't exactly advertise that the blood of not-daemons can be used to create Orbs and Liminal Realms, but I'm wondering if any wizard above a certain level would have access (Magister, Lord Magister), or if the book would be strictly limited to the ones actually researching ways of obtaining AV.
@Boney, memory tells me that we'd need 30 CF for a flying tower, +10 CF if we want to steer it. Without attaching exact numbers to what the rewards are worth, could we get a flying tower from the Celestials alone?
