At worst, perhaps we spend the College Favour to bring in a keen Magister to act as our holiday cover with Belegar while on Elven Internship Sabbatical.

Ah, I was thinking along the lines of a place where travelers and other followers may come to worship Ranald in secret.
Ranald probably has people randomly duck into it when they're lost or on the run instead

Algard can't be Matty's College Dad, that's Regimand's position. Algard is more like a College Grandad or cool uncle.

[X] Plan Redshirt v5 (Different Max Action)

Yeah no. Taking people's suggestions is part of how he got where he is, at this point, in this thread, he's Redshirt. But that's not his fault or something, it's a product of forums, quest and the structure of this whole thing. Near any popular thread I've ever read had a couple of folks who had that kind of name recognition from the readers who are the primary plan makers.
The requirements often include making a couple of popular plans, or listening to what people suggest, as well as being there early and often when it comes to floating your plans. But once you are in that position, well congratulations. You are now, essentially, a volunteeer mod in the thread. Nor for behavior, but for plans. A gatekeeper.
Your voice, and the voices of a couple of other folks with name recognition in thread now matter much more than most. When you post your plans they get more attention than others. "Well I'll just wait for The Guy to post his plan". That's just how forums work, when there is a lot of people. Lots of folks, where they come here, will just read the update, maybe have a look at what the QM said and liked. Maybe do the same to someone like @Redshirt Army or another they generally agree with, to keep up with the thread. That's enough for them, why trawl through dozens or pages every time?
Best result most can hope for is to convince you(and the thread) to make some edits to your plans or have input on them before they get put together. That's just popular threads and quests. Hells, your plan and your slightly different plan are currently neck and neck in the votes.
TLDR: It's a privilege, a burden, and someone is going to have to ride that horse anyway. Godspeed planmaker, we thank you for your sacrifice. But if some of us see it coming and you(and thus much of the thread) don't listen, the salt will flow, flow, flow...
But that's just questing.
... So I scrolled down the smiley options.
Hey everyone? Have you seen the smiley options? Look at the flags!

Dominos Falling in the Border Princes
- Location
- The underworld
his name was Josef and he was going to be a king
well he was going to be a king for a while, he and his "Band of Friends" were preparing to take a kingdom from a partially stupid border prince before he heard the call to help retake a dwarf hold and the silver offered would have made sure he would have kept the kingdom he would have conquered at least for a while.
but it was there that he overheard a conversation that would change his life forever, some traders speculating about the new trade route and the great wealth to had but also the danger once the river canal was finished. once he had brought them a drink and had learnt all he could about the project he knew what he had to do. if somehow the river were to be made safe and stable whoever controlled it would be filthy rich but he knew he never be able to hold more than a small portion of it and even if he could protect it from monsters any slightly stronger border prince could come and knock him off his throne.
for this to work he had to build alliances to secure his position even if that meant sharing power with others, so he set about building a coalition with the other mercenary leaders that he managed to convince to join him once the current campaign was over, while his men did the same to whoever they could find that was interest, but unfortunately the dwarfs were not interested considering your quest a sideshow at best and the EIC while interest in your goal want proof you can pull it off before they risk investing there money into your dream. well, you hope the Dwarfs of Barak Varr will be more interest in funding a kingdom that sole purpose is to protect their new trade route.
they had even regular meetings to decide what form of government there yet to be founded kingdoms will have as well what taxes their hypothetical civilians will pay and how they will restructure their army. No one wanted to be screwed over or the coalition to disintegrate at the first crisis plus there were plenty among the Undumgi that gave them help in forming the foundation to what could become a great kingdom.
as most of the powerful people that will lead the colation are mercenary leaders or a few merchants that see an opportunity none wanted to be anything but in charge and a disdain for useless nobles so instead of having a king the new kingdom, we will have a great council of the rich and powerful that decide the laws and taxes of the land, it will grow over time as ether new border prince join or new people rise to influence in the community and shrink as those on the council fail to keep themselves relevant .
also, it was decided since the extremely vulnerable position and everyone will try and take a piece from us, the new kingdom needed to be devoted to war and expansion up the river and only when they have dominated the river will be able to expand outwards. as such you need to transform your band of misfits into a professional army luckily a very experienced and successful dog of war group lead by Alfio and his subordinate Vidiano who will train your soldiers as well as lead your forces in times of war, who just so happened to both be the first who agreed to help build your vision as well as help you become the first among equals.
.....
josef opens the door as the rest of the council files out, he is both tied and happy as he receives a grin from Alfio as in this meeting it was decided that most of the taxes and tolls will be ether expanding the kingdom by building a new fortress town a few miles upriver in unclaimed territory or expanding existing town to make them more attractive to passing merchants making the inroad he was building with the EIC bear fruit, strengthing his position and the rest of the money going to pay the soldiers making them some of the best paid and most important people in the nation to be, making everyone at the council happy as they all fighting men that will be protecting the countryside but the other person it will benefit most in time is Alfio as he being in charge of training and leading them in war giving him a lot of soft power on the council and support among the troops.
as Josef and Alfio leave the rented room and asking the tavern owner to get them a beer and get into a discussion about the possible name of the new country before settling on the Riverlands they never notice a flickering shadow or the door quietly open and close again, leaving them to there drinking.

Are we ever gonna do anything with these? They're in our inventory.

We are hoping to use them in an enchantment project. We just need to be better at enchantment first before we use them. Like a lot better.

People were talking about using them as a focus for when we eventually try to enchant our Masteried Aethyric Armor into clothes. Trying to get a Mastery version of a spell into an enchantment is tricky, so rare components that are thematically appropriate might help.

Maybe we cam do something with them when the Spider silk becomes available. Or maybe for the staff? Or maybe it would just be another shiny bauble in our Hoard.

How are the scales of a dhar-mutated dragon evolved to live in the sea thematically appropriate to ulgu?

I believe dragon materials are receptive to magic in general and can be altered to lean towards Ulgu with a bit of effort

For the sea is dark and full of terrors.
But seriously, even if these arent usable, they would at the least be a possible bargaining chip to gain whatever it is we do need.
Is it a touch spell? Using a touch spell on eshin warpstone poison might not be the best idea.
That's "notice and reach once" vs. "notice reach out weekly".
