Leaving aside the problem of sourcing AV, I feel like it's a bit too volatile to be used in such a way. Even if it was possible to use it in a combustion engine it's unlikely that engine would ever make it out of a lab or workshop.

Yes, because its a terrible idea. Aethyric Vitae expands rapidly into a gas, if said gas experiences pressure it becomes Dhar.
We just saw it happen, and I'm PRETTY damned sure the maximum internal pressure of a lizard's stomach is vastly lower than any plausible engine.

Also, if you plan to use the engine on anything moving you'd be carrying the entire highly jolt-sensitive liquid fuel supply with you. Get up to any appreciable speed, and that's a disaster waiting to happen. Even a stationary engine would have potential problems with transmitted vibrations, to say nothing of the vitae's potential to intensify accidents if something goes wrong with the engine.

@BoneyM talk to the Queen about acquiring the lore of Ranald? Or of doing a thing with two magics without exploding?

Given that it is a very small supply to work with, it's not really viable for fuel. Plus, without venting immediately it would likely all turn to Dhar inside the engine. And that's not even getting into the fact that putting it into an engine would likely set it off due to the chamon inherent in the metal.

Honestly, I want to focus more on world-building here for the moment. Also Mandred a cute and I'd love to see what we get him for his first birthday.

This is fascinating, and something we've all looked forward to for months. No surprise that it's all but a unanimous choice.

Both of these are quite interesting to me. We've struck up a rapport with Max, and I want to see more of it, and Gretel has established herself as the favourite duckling.

We've already met with Francesco, and I'd like to keep Sozic confined to her excellent omake series, to make sure that there's no risk of major contradictions. Ozwald seems like a refreshing and entertaining choice.

We're meeting with the head honcho of the Wolf Boys - it seems very likely for Mathilde to seek out the local Ulric representative to gather information.

[ ] Anton, to see how his firearm factory is going.
[ ] Wilhelmina, to see how she's going when she's not a terrifying financial juggernaut.

We've just had an incredibly stressful six months. Mathilde taking some time off to meet with her old friends will do her good.

And this is an excellent write-in. I'd like Mathilde to keep in touch with the Empress and Mandred. Too bad about the misspelling in the vote, but it's too late to change it now.
