Hmm... What books would we need to buy in order to make the Kislev Ice Witches Side Quest easier and more understandable? Probably too broad and uncertain a topic; obviously, you can try to get all the Kislev books, in hopes of learning enough legends and history to be able to make a wild guess. But this is a completely scattershot method. We don't know what exactly it is we are helping to retrieve, so no real way to get a book on it. Pass, I guess.
Another thing to get would be the Great Steppes books to learn about the nomads that we're going to be stealing from -- except we were already planning on getting Great Steppes or Kurgan stuff, so.
Daemons of Chaos, like another poster mentioned.
Hmm... I wonder if a book on monsters and gribblies would help? Something like "Monsters of the North"... though, that's probably just covered by "The Chaos Wastes", isn't it?
You could also try to get the College's books on Sorcerers and Sorcery, if you're expecting to run into shamans and Sorcerers, but... Kind of a fishy purchase.
... Hm. Say,
@BoneyM, are there Beastmen up north? Enough to warrant getting books on Beastmen?
I think it's likely that dribbling AV on the coin will just generate some "loose" divine energy here in the world. I agree that there's no reason it would meaningfully empower Ranald.
Yeah. Maybe it might, however, empower the Coin if we're lucky?
Or, produce Ranald-affiliated loose divine energy in the vicinity. Which Ranald can use to do... I dunno. Stuff? In the nearby vicinity.
EDIT:
I'd like to once again note how dwarf-compatible is this dragon. His only complaint about dwarfs? They trusted the damn elgi. And the dwarf s would agree with it
To be fair, I wonder if Cython
doesn't actually know about the distinction between Druchii and Asur?
What if he doesn't know that the Asur had a great big civil war, and that all the huge jerks left and headed for Naggaroth?
Maybe he's interact with far, far more Druchii than Asur. That would sort of affect and influence his opinion of Elves. (Well I mean, we know he lived in Naggaroth for a while, so obviously yes we know that he's got tons of knowledge/experience of Druchii. I more meant, even
aside from that thing where he lived in Naggaroth for a while, maybe even outside of that he's wound up meeting more Druchii than Asur. Or Asrai or Eonir for that matter I suppose.)
