The problem is given Mathilde's vast increase in skill that her peers rapidly decreased.

Clearly, the solution is to socialize more with her fellow Magisters, who are her peers, before she makes Magister Lord! Vote for Johann socials so that Mathilde retains human contact with her peer!
An important reason to stay involved with the EIC is to gently thwart its tendency to pick up monopolies without anyone having to to slot Wilhelmina. Giving them a monopoly on spider silk serves no public good and impoverishes the trade ecology of K8P. We want lots of buyers coming here and competing for slices of the pie with their best offers and extras.
I have no idea why Mathilde would want a ship. Her library would get damp.
Sanctuary for the colleges does seem like transcendent boon material.

I think it's premature to say that the Court Wizard job of K8P is going to be boring or not need focused attention when we haven't even had any turn post-reconquest. Let's not jump any guns -- Francesco isn't Thane yet, he's still just Viceroy.
Besides which, I don't think the quest base will actually like a demotion. We're used to projects that shape the Karak as a whole, or even the Karaz Ankor. Dropping down to work for Francesco instead of Belegar is necessarily going to involve a reduced scope of ambition -- he can't provide the same level of funding in money/dwarf favours as Belegar can, and we'd be limited to stuff within Karag Nar itself; for instance, we can't flesh out the Eye of Gazul using mountains Francesco doesn't control (unless we go up to Belegar for approval, in which case why aren't we just still working for Belegar?).
Don't you mean "torrent-crafting"?

edit: Also just don't vote for overpowered traits. There's no call to turn this into some sort of Gamer/Cultivator quest - the point is not for the MC to outgrow the setting and overturn it but to live an interesting life within it.

Runes. Weapons. To even be allowed to buy things like runic items and dwarf revolvers, one needs having at least some initial favor, costs of purchases nonwithstanding!
A reminder: before dwarf favor, Mathilde was an ordinary, garden-variety wizard (more or less). With it, she snowballed.
What Mathilde can do is having each and every wizard count as having (let's say) 2 dwarf favor within the bounds of K8P, thus at least enabling them to be prospective buyers of high grade weapons, tools and minor runic items.
Technology. Dwarf-grade factories of guns, cannons, niter production, etc.
Dwarf support in materials and/or men for various expeditions, building mega-projects.
Same as Empire. Other than that, treaty of mutual defense. Dwarf funded and built mega-fortress. Dwarf teachers for worthy smiths, artisans, gunsmiths...

So not related to the boon conversation, for the EIC I saw some mention of buying out a majority stake but that it would cause the Bursar to look angrily in it'd general direction.
Could we buy a stake then just gift it to the Grey College (aka handled by the appointed Bursar on behalf of the Patriarch/Matriarch), or hell just give it to the Emperor, such that between ourselves and said stake it's majority thus ensuring Empire loyalty?
That said, would Wilhelmina be okay with this?

he is a subordinate.
by peer I don't mean skill, I mean someone who not directly under her authority.

Guys, i have been reading Gotrek and Felix books, and since we are a few decades away from them, would it be possible to recruit Malakai Makaisson for K8P Engineers Guild before he becomes a slayer?

This is something I am looking forward to. I do hope that we get to meet interesting folk during her lectures.

Social Vote: Have a drinking session with another Magister, like Herbert's Master after a lecture in a Pub, that might become something more for one night only, if both parties get drunk enough. Both parties go into the drinking session understanding and consenting to that possibility of course.
Day after: Mathilde: The romance books are, to my disappointment, but not surprise, inaccurate.

I really like the idea of using our favour to give the colleges helpful runes.
Actually, this reminds me of when we gave that fire ring to the Bright College, who said it would be incredibly useful for ensuring the safety of its new Journeymen.
Could we do something like this? Say ask that each new Journeyman from the Colleges of Magic be granted a very basic runic bundle (not our own Kragg level stuff of course) to help survival? Would this be viable? I guess it depends on the number of Runemasters available to K8P and their output versus the production of new Journeymen through the Colleges.
At the very least the Colleges would be incredibly grateful.

I really don't want to do this. It's effectively a demotion, which I am not interested in, and I don't think Belegar would want us to do this either. To address your points in order:
1) Kragg won't take the job, as he is from Karaz-a-Karak. And we can already work with him as long as we both are in K8P.
2) The Undumgi won't need wizard help though, they'll need stewardship help.
3) We don't even know where the weaving will be done, but it could be in any of the mountains. The spiders might get moved to Karagril, for example.
4) You skipped 4.
5) I don't think they are more interesting. Working from Karag Nar gives us no more access to wizards, first of all. Second, Gotri is just as crazy as Oswald by Dwarf Perspective. I also really like Kazrik and Edda, as well.
6) This can only be solved with social actions. I think we could have a real friendship with Edda for example, and we do have a sorta friend in Heidi as well that I'd like to work on.

Could we mix the ideas of having karak eight peaks be another branch location for the colleges AND have it be a guaranteed refuge for wizards if the empire turns on them?
I especially like this idea because we could integrate wizards more closely with the *new* dwarves. It completes mathilde's journey in a bunch of ways. One of the reasons she likes dwarves over most humans is their lack of distain for competent magicians. Imagine if she could share that appreciation with all of those battle wizards in sad golden cages. It would also give karaz ankor the fire power it needs to help INCREASE dwarven population growth and stop grinding itself down to avenge grudges. The dwarves mastery of runes and grounding magic could and will save lives of we can get more wizards access to it.
It just meshes with many of mathilde's immer conflicts right now. More than the eic monopoly thing anyway.

I didn't mean for Mathilde to recruit him, I meant for Belegar to recruit him when he starts headhunting...
He is a genius engineer and a radical innovator with great disregarded for the Engineers Guild traditions, and K8P is getting (in)famous to disregard tradition when it gets in the way of victory... So it seems that he will blend in perfectly here...

This isn't something Belegar has the direct power to grant. He would try, but it would require him getting Runesmiths willing to play ball, and it's not at all guaranteed that they'd see it the way Belegar does. Remember: our Favour is not the Empire's Favour, and dwarves won't share sacred crafts with other wizards just because they like us.

In general instead of asking for a specific thing, I like how In torrar's dynasty of dynamic alcoholics he always gives us an option for trade that increases the ties between factions. It gives a better sense of making a dramatic impact in the world. I think mathilde would like to show everyone what she has found.

Except there is no meaningful way we could increase that. Belegar is already fine with a college campus here, so how much more closeness could he offer?

I like the idea of either asking for a runic item for ourselves... Perhaps something to replace our robes? We get in fights a lot armour would be good.
Other than that the right to learn rune work? Or a teacher for either us or all the Wizards currently in the karak?
Or are those too small scale? I feel like just asking for the best protection the can give would let them go nuts and make something amazing without putting belekor In a tough position...

What is the purpose in your mind of a "branch location" for the colleges? I see this idea floated in the thread a lot, but I don't really understand what the educational benefits would be. For normal universities, the purpose of a "branch location" is to provide educational services to a population of students who have a hard time traveling and need to stay closer to home.
K8P is on the edge of the world. It's much less convenient for the vast majority of wizard students to travel to than Altdorf is. So like, what is a branch location supposed to accomplish exactly? Why should anyone go to K8P rather than Altdorf to study?

Waaay to small scale. The Boon is worth more then any hundreds of favours mcould get us. If you really want rubic items that much, and I think we have more then enough, then just spend some of our 59 favour on them.
