High Priest of Ranald, here we come!

Also, note that a pretty important consideration is probably us staying somewhat near 8 peaks so we can continue research and library-ing

Eh, I think K8P has legitimately hit the end of its rope as a place of employment. It's stable, wealthy, and secure, and while it'll definitely be our home, we've outgrown it as a place of work

I disagree on both counts. I don't think Karak Eight Peaks can meaningfully be our home if we're spending our time pacifying Sylvania or tutoring Mandred -- players will want to invest and engage with those areas and characters -- and we've still got worthy work to do here (to pick an example out of a hat, Waystones).

In that you possess unrivalled insight into the problems that will face any administrator of these territories, it pleases the Grand Countess to offer the position of Markgraf of Eastern Stirland to the Lady Magister; if that is not suitable to her for concerns of inheritance, the inheritable titles of Count of Waldenhof, Count of Tempelhof, Baron of Mikalsdorf, and Baron of Nachthafen will also be revived and granted in the coming years, and the Lady Magister is considered an ideal personage for any of the above, should she turn down the title of Markgraf...

Roswita is just... offering us Sylvania?

...guess this is the sort of caliber you run on as a famous Lady Magister...

We're not solving the Waystone Problem by bashing our head against the wall there chum, we need to get out into the world to make headway there.
 
There's an awful lot of chicken counting going on assuming that Mandred is the future Emperor.

If his father figuratively rolls a one next year and dies, then there'll be a new Emperor elected and it most certainly won't be him, and that new Emperor could well have decades to prepare to put their own heir or friend on the throne. Even if Mandred is of age at the time an Emperor dies, someone else could easily win election.

However, High Priest of Ranald tickles my fancy, just for the lolz.

On one hand, getting more into empire politics is very tempting, so protecting and training the next emperor sounds great.
Same for becomming an ambassador to the dwarf holds.
But on the other hand, i am really invested in the waystone project, that has so much promise to it, the ability to fix tantied waystones, or even make new ones, would be an amazing game changer.
 
Massive hype.

I've always loved segments where complete strangers call upon us in a professional capacity (see that noble/merchant who traveled to ask us about expanding into Stirland, for example) because it makes the world feel alive. But this? With all those plot hooks? And that amazing last line?
I am incredibly excited for the next chapter! Thank you so much!

I have absolutely no interest in any of those options.

There are only two things I want us doing if we're not being Belebro's advisor

A) Working for Thorgrim as his weird-shit troubleshooter and repairing the waystone network.

B) Going on our elf-cation to Nagarythe.
 
Legitimately though, if people want to solve the Waystone Problem, the answer is not "Double down where we are", if the problem can be solved locally, it would have been by now.

Swamp Town is legitimately the best option with regards to that, because it puts us theoretically in range to make contacts in Ulthuan and Lustria who might have valuable data on the project, while the infrastructure we've set up back home work on the problem from that perspective.

For all that he's one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Warhammer Fantasy RP, torroar's take on Lustria is not necessarily the same as BoneyM's.

If the option is on the table, it is viable. If I were to bet, it's also the option that most delves into the setting's Deep Lore, as it's how we can get contact with the non-Dwarf Elder Races.

Yah I agree, I was talking about settling part, just wanted to let people know how hard it gonna be and how trying to make swamp town a city, just preemptively lowering exceptions to a realistic amount that all
