Besides which, has anyone realized that the Library-Sanctuary-Research Institute looks a whole lot like sedition from the Colleges?
This is bullshit unless we start training new wizards there, in which case we're probably goingto need to spend our Great Deed on branch college permission, and is not the kind of thing you can accidentally do.
Theres multiple universities in the setting and the Colleges of Magic do not claim a monopoly on any kind of knowledge other than magical, and even then the Elementalists contest that claim.
Building a large library is something many wizards aspire to do, though this is much larger and more grandiose than most manage.
Making a sanctuary is...not all that uncommon for the Grey Order, though most safe houses are usually more like the Wurtbad cellar than a giant facility in a mountain.
Making a research institute is one of the things Magister Lords enjoy doing, though again, the scale is usually more like a study group because very few people are both willing and able to fund something without any significant return on investment in under a half century.
It may or may not be the best use of the Boon, but calling it sedition is complete nonsense. We were closer to sedition when we took the Knighthood.
You know, there's actually the seed of a decent Boon idea here. The trouble with the Border Princes is that there isn't really any good strategic barriers that would allow the region to hold off Waaaghs from the Badlands, which combined with relatively low value land means nobody really bothers.
One idea for a Transcendent Boon is to spend the next few centuries (or whatever sort of timeline is appropriate) building something along the lines of the Great Wall of China to create a serious strategic barrier where nature failed to provide one. It's definitely in the "might break the Karak" scale and is of somewhat dubious practicality, but the idea of turning a Transcendent Boon from a dwarf into a series of fortifications of almost unprecedented scale is surprisingly dwarfy.
We asked Boney about it before. The problem isn't building the wall. The problem is garrisonning it, and the wall would serve as a massive Come At Me Bro to the orcs of the area.
There aren't enough dwarves to do it without breaking
Honestly, my main concern for the future is potentially having to talk Belegar out of doing something that might split the Karaz Ankor. Though, we might not need the Boon to manage that.
I think if its something more than a Favor, using the Boon that way has a distressingly high chance of breaking Belebro.
[X] [WE] Scavenge the Gauntlet
I don't get the 'preserve the We culture' arguments cause what culture is there to preserve? The sort of hunter gather one? The how they act 'naturally' in the wild? Because if so that culture is already going to be overwritten since we voted to keep the We and not have them return to the wild.
Think people are projecting a native culture situation rather than a Lone Hunter situation. Its easy to forget all the We are one person, the spiders are just expendable limbs of a giant spiderblob.
