There's also our fief piggy bank we could break into if we really needed to.
Even 'Civilized Realms' and 'Enemies of Man' fails to fit the full scope of the world. Of the five vampire bloodlines three (Lahmians Von Carsteins and Blood Dragons) are inexorably bound to the trappings of civilization for all they are the Empire's enemies. For another example Nehekarans were civilized long before the ancestors of Sigmar's tribe discovered metal-smithing, but one would hardly cound them likely to ally with the nations of the Old Wold.

We don'T talk about that.
I'd argue that - just like skaven - CD fall neatly into the 'capitalism is destructive guys' theme. Even more neatly than the Skaven because their god is dedicated to acquiring wealth for its own sake. As for destroy the world theme, the putrid river of instant cancer is kind of a hint that they fall heavily into the theme 'ecology collapse can destroy the world just as surely as active chaos mutations'. But that's my personal opinion here, Skaven warpstone/dhar pollution is no joke in-setting either but the CD status is kind of neat in that it apparently requires no 'magic pollution' to make the point. Sort of.
Then there is the slavery thing which has obvious synergy with exploitation themes. And the demons.

60/turn from Belegar, not 75, but yeah.
Our fief also generates revenue which piles up there unless we go and do something with it; last time we were there, about four years ago, we left the stockpile intact for reinvestment.
Basically, this expenditure would wipe out most of our capital on hand, but our income recently went up significantly (when we finished paying off the EIC loan and started getting the dividends ourself), so it's not bad. We're still accumulating more money every year than many people see in their lives.

I've found the solution to our Boon issues guys, it's right here.

Last we knew, 50 crowns/turn, though that might have increased if any other improvements have gone on.

Last time we were there, it generated 50gc/turn:
But we don't actually collect the money. We voted to let it continue accumulating, so the community would have money to invest in construction and to cover emergencies. We could probably change that if we visited again.

Shouldn't be too hard? I hope.
My thought is, instead of permanently owning it to the point where it stays with the Empire after our death, we make out a deal where we own it only for the remainder of our lifetime, as in after we die it is automatically returned to Ulthuan. Presumably they might insist that part of the garrison are also Elves so after we die the inhabitants/crewmen can't refuse to return it.
Seems reasonable enough.

Ahhh, the good ol' order factions, The Empire, Kislev, Brettonia, Karaz Ankor, vampires, Dawi Zharr, elves.... wait a moment... elves are not capable of reliable diplomacy.

Didn't we got a raise when we became Lord Magister?
No we did not. The position pays the same whether you're a master or a grandmaster. Tradition.
Unless you want to scam Mathilde is literally a demi-god - or at least at the end of long line that ends on the mythical Ranald - with proof - this doesn't work.
Well. It might if Ranald adopts Mathilde officially. If a foreign god adopts a

AoS isn't the worst thing, but I'm told it took a while to get there and it still lacks a fraction of the depth of WHF.
More to the point, it's so different in so many ways that it's not relevant enough for us to draw anything from it.
We stopped getting tithed at all, though Mathilde's first instinct to particularly large windfalls will probably still be "should I send this to the Bursar".

And we can easily take actions to increase the revenue that we get from the EIC, like the gunpowder factory.
The funniest thing with Age Of Sigmar is that Warhammer Total War, has increased significantly the number of players interested on something that GW has discontinued.

I think the best way is to kill Malekith. The most realistic way is to become a Shadow Warrior, like in my negaverse omake, that way Nagarythe can say it's still theirs despite it being in Mathilde's hands.

On the one hand it will be far from the Empire and require quite a drive on various river boats while paying Dwarven tariffs in Zhufbar and such.
On the other hand it will be subject to Dwarven maintenance and Dwarven defenses, but not to Dwarven secrecy. Imperial citizen in good standing will just be able to come here and copy potentially lost knowledge whenever it is important enough to make the trip.
That said, I agree that K8P is far from the ideal location. If Mathilde weren't attached to it for personal reasons I'd vote to place the Library in Barak Varr or Zhufbar or Karak Hirn.
That's a Grudging.
If humanity ever ends up living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland on Mallus or even goes completely extinct, I'm 99,9% sure it won't be due to global warming or a mundane lack of species diversity or whatever. Every flattened forest is less space for the hordes of Disorder to spread and fester. And if CO2 does somehow start becoming an actual problem then it's something a few Ghyran megaprojects should be able to solve.
Because Orc Waaaghs are a sentient natural disaster, Malekith is an immortal asshole with an iron grip, Necromancy inherently causes mental diseases that make people into dangers to others on a large scale, and all the other destruction forces are subjugated or beguiled by evil gods of evil evilness because we are still playing Warhammer Fantasy and whatever redeeming features the six Chaos Gods might be supposed to have are a springling of confetti on a large pile of horrorpocalypse.

To move Thread Madness in a slightly more productive direction, for the next 2 turns Mathilde will be working under a -10 Overwork Malus. What are some good actions she can take, where failure isn't especially risky?
I'm thinking "learn to swim" - assuming we have someone there to teach her that is, learning on her own would be pretty risky. But it's an important life skill!

We only used the second overwork slot so it will only be one turn at -10, the third one inflicts two turns of -20.
