Im trying to read the Thread but its to fast. Will post this and go back to readingo so sry if its a repeat.
Im a bit pro border princess as well besides the reason above (im a but dubious on the 2nd one) I would like to point the geographic position of it.
Its right between 2 dwarven holds (KaK and Varr) and near K8P.
Meaning the quest would maintain its dwarflike existence even if dif and we could engage more in dwarven politics if we wished so.
Also its near enough ti K8P that the social part would be reaming the same.
With dwarf support we could hire a gyrocopter to keep the bullshit travel time (i believe Sylvania location near Zhufbar would allow us as well)
Not really an argument but as a cool token could we build the smoke and mirrors tower to check range? It would be awesome if after a days work in the border princes we could teleport to our penhouse to cuddle and maybe check the waystones.
On another subject i really like waystones but turing it in a full job makes me sketchy but I will reserve judgment untik Boney presents us. Any other option that would allow us to keep social contacts and poke at waystone would be favoured

Folks, read to the end.
These aren't all the options. These are just the ones arriving via mail. The full update will have all the options, including the ones involving staying in Karak Eight Peaks.

Not really - his tutoring doesn't end abruptly when he's of age anymore than you or I automatically stop studying when we're 18. He's going to be the future Emperor. He has a lot to learn about a lot of different things. We'd also be the bodyguard so, nah. Also our lifespan is finite and we're already in our 30s. If there isn't more to that job beyond the description, I'm not too enthused about having a reduced pace of research and exploration for 20 years.

I'm pretty confident her motivation here is "I love my son, and I trust nobody but Mathilde"

Oh yes I know that I just find Tutoring and protecting Mandred really interesting @picklepikkl I am waiting to the update though to see all the options though.

Not going to have a chance to keep up with the thread now, but I am going to say something...
My biggest regret was not buying the title of princess when we were in 8peaks expedition.
Now the dwarves want us to be a princess, and we will be quite close to 8peaks anytime we want to visit Panoramia.
Live rarely gives second chances, even more about being royalty.
You wont make me change my opinion.
Princess faction rise up, our time has come!!

Smells like "standard" CK2 format. Not keen on that even though BoneyM would definitely make it interesting. And to be honest I didn't like the parts where we returned to Stirland. Though being the Markgraf of Stirland after destroying CastleDrakenhof has some nice sounds to it
. And I know who I'd want as my Piety advisor. From Journeywomen spymaster to Lady Magister Spymaster. Another full circle. Not really interested in working for another province after we invested do much into Stirland.
Can someone please tell my not native ass what "Ambassador-at-Large" actually means? Can't find the definition and directly translating sounds like Ambassador that's stationed in dwarf territory or without assigned posting at all.
If it's literally Bodygourd then it would eat most of our time. Leaving next to nothing for research and Adventures, ho! If it's veiled "Special Agent in Her Majesty Heidi Service" then it's tempting.
Don't know too much about Lustria other than that it's not-MesoAmerica, but with the colonists getting struck by diseases rather than natives. And Lizardmen. And Slann.
Starting arc would be mission to Kislev, but then what? I wonder who this letter is from. Heidi?
Border Princes are filled with rivers aren't they? Having a Dreadnought as our base of operations would put capital back in capital ship. Or we could get Belegar do something else for us that would ease the recolonization. This option has "use the Boon" all over it.
That's why I said "Imperial Household" which is its own institution. But you're right, it could very well be a role where Mathilde could become "next in line" for Imperial spymaster.

Sigmar worship isn't that prominent in the Border Princes, not nearly as much as the Cult of Myrmidia holds.

Some quick analysis/guesswork:
Markgraf of Eastern Stirland: Pure CK2. Mathilde will have to divide her time between ruling the "Eastern Stirland" and her own personal interests.
Spymaster of Wissenland: Advisor during wartime, similar to our position under Belegar while we only had 3/8 of the mountains. Only this time, we don't have any convenient orcs or dragons to distract the Skaven with; only whatever internal divisions they may have.
Ambassador-at-Large: Half advisor, half wandering troubleshooter? It could go multiple ways how this works out. We'd definitely get to say at our Karag Nar Penthouse.
Bodyguard and Tutor: Big mystery how this one will work out. It could be doing jobs for the Emperor directly, or it could be Altdorf politics, or the tutoring job might be somewhat complex mechanically. *shrug*
Governor-General: Pure CK2, and a complete setting change. By far the most distant of all the offers we've seen so far.
High Priest of Ranald: Somewhat CK2? Somewhat advisor? We'd the head of an organization that is stridently against being an organization, and we'd be working under an authority that doesn't actually talk using words much at all. (Remember the letter?) Maximum Cat, tho.
An Umgi of proven trustworthiness: Pure CK2, local to K8P, somewhat subsidiary to Barak Varr. Great location in need of refurbishment.

It involves dealing with Imperial bs and having to deal with the dwarves when they get pissed at Imperial bs.
An Ambassador to more than a single polity. So she wouldn't be the Ambassador to just Karaz-a-Karak or Karak Eight Peaks or wherever, she'd have Ambassadorial powers to any Dwarfhold she visits.

That seems overly optimistic if we take any of these jobs we're no longer going to be living in K8P and there's not going to be time available to poke at the waystone given all the other priorities we'll have.

So, I know I've been spending the time since the mini-update dropped reminding people that this isn't all the options and we haven't seen the ones from the Karaz Ankor, including presumably "Waystones" and "general magical troubleshooter to the Karaz Ankor," plus possibly some surprised. I know I've been saying for literal RL months that I don't want to leave K8P, I want to get more embedded in K8P. I love it here and I love the characters and I want to build a life here.
But. To prove to the thread that I am not a 100% grumbly sourpuss with a one-track mind, I will say that I intend to approval vote for the Sylvania option. Why? Well, I really like Rosie, and I really like the relationship arc Mathilde and Roswita have had. Sylvania butts right up against the Karaz Ankor, so it will let us split the difference somewhat and not go too far away from our stomping grounds. It's right next to Zhufbar, for instance, for those still holding out for Kickflip Guns. And it will let us see more of the old gang, like Anton and Kasmir and Wilhelmina. I think it would be a good time.

we would still have to activetly spend effort tamping down and if not then we get debuff/ it not domaint religion but it still prominent also the fandom pages says this Princes from the Empire often emulate the stronger emperors of that realm, having a heavy military emphasis. Sigmar is often worshipped in these regions, and the princes may try to reproduce the institutions of the Empire in miniature. while general one doeans't say much about religion of borderland. So in imperial region of borderland we have to spend a lot of effort discouraging sigmar worship

Reminder that the Magister Patriarch of the Light Order is nearly 120 and LM Melkoth is probably in or near the triple digits.
Mathilde is actually very young for her rank and the job of tutor to someone who will 100% be the Elector Count of Reikland, aka the province where the Colleges are in and also has a good shot at being Emperor is a very big step forward for taking Algard's position once he retires.
Like it is not quite as personally tempting as being ambassador to the Dawi... but make no mistake - this is a very sweet gig.
We've had from BoneyM that the Waystone Project would not be an ordinary project, but a long term commitment that could be a job in itself. The work of possibly multiple decades.
