I'm pretty sure the main one I really want is the Waystone project, but I'm interested in learning more about the other options.

Let's see exactly what the EC want with us.

I want to know why someone thought it was useful to have a LM managing the whole thing.

I think one of the reasons that *we* were told to be Ranald's high priest in Kislev is that. Well. Shalyak is different from Shallya yes?

I think we are in an interesting position as a friend of Ranald's to take stock of the situation in Kislev, the history of Ranald in regards to Kislev, and set Ranald's worship in Kislev on a path befitting that harsh land. I don't believe it will be a permanent post, but it is something I'm not sure non-friends would be capable of doing for him.

I think it can be well understood as assisting our ancestor-god in the resolution of a longstanding shame. We can return, but this is likely something only we can handle properly

as for votes? Moar Info All Vote :V

Note that even if Hedi wants to use us for something else we will at least have to do enough toddler minding to offer cover which to my mind at least is still too much toddler minding.
My imagination is captured by someone's idea of Mathilde and Mandred being Rick and Morty.

I can think of two words that would explain why: magic frogs. Here's another two: vampire pirates.
I know that, you know that, the thread knows that. Mathilde doesn't, and it would be perfectly in character for her to check.

Furthermore, why a Grey LM and not a Light or Amethyst one? Both would be better against undeads. It could be because Mat's awesome, or because a shadowmancer is needed.

Grudge-etiquette would require him to demand compensation from Thorgrim before retaliating, so I think diplomacy would eventually resolve it before that point.
The problem is Thorgrim cannot in good faith offer compensation because he is not at fault, but he also cannot explain why he is not at fault so it comes down to trust the High King because he is High King. If Belegar is unwilling to do that you get a flash point. Keep in mind dwarf going to war with dwarf is not impossible, really really rare yes, more so now than in the golden age, but if push comes to shove hard enough... well.
Another problem being that Grudge etiquette does not demand you can't stop an ongoing theft.
Belegar would be, in his own mind, perfectly justified in stopping an ongoing theft via destruction of connecting waystones.

I don't expect it is likely to happen, but i would also not bet on it not happening in the next couple hundred years, and both Belegar and Thorgrim are both driven enough to live that long.

[X] Markgraf of Eastern Stirland
A Markgraf exists to transform troublesome land into a land of productive and obedient tax-payers, usually after said land has been conquered. Historically, it also apparently exists to create rivals to the Elector Count that appointed them, which is probably why the letter made it so clear that no inheritable position would accompany the title of Markgraf. It still remains a position of extreme power, prestige, and influence, second only to the Elector Counts themselves. And it would be quite a feather in your cap if you could one day boast to have pacified Sylvania.

With Karak Vlag returned, the only pass through the World's Edge Mountains that is not dominated by an existing Dwarfhold is Mad Dog Pass. It seems that Barak Varr wants to change that. Many have tried to make something useful of the sprawling, anarchic lands known as the Border Princes over the year, and one of the few times it was managed was almost two thousand years ago, when Emperor Sigismund the Conquerer established the province of Lichtenberg. With Dwarven support, perhaps you can follow in his footsteps.

The status quo but Much Bigger. I would at least like to know what sort of weird stuff the Karaz Ankor has to offer.

[X] The Waystone Project
Biggest and arguably most important thing we could possibly do. And as it would be on our schedule we could take as many side adventures as we can justify to ourselves.

[X] Spymaster of Wissenland
Sticking it to the Skaven for a while seems a worthy cause.

[X] Border Princess of the Howling River
I do find myself interested in seeing the ruler-advisor dynamic from the other side. Of the presented options this is the closest to our home, one one with the least politics and the one with the most potential for carving Mathilde's greatness into the history books.


[] Sinecure
The status quo. Not terribly appealing.

[] Markgraf of Eastern Stirland
…other than visiting bro and little sis I have no interest in Stirland.

[ ] Count of Sylvania
And even less in being hereditary nobility there.

[ ] Ambassador-at-Large to the Karaz Ankor
Politics should be avoided like the plague.

[ ] Bodyguard and Tutor to Prince Mandred
Illegal politics should be avoided like super plague.

[ ] Governor-General of Swamp Town
We have far too much invested in the Old World to abandon it all for the New.

[ ] Ranaldian High Priest of Kislev
Politics should be avoided like the plague.

[] Nagarythe
We have just been on an adventure, I would prefer a break before another.

[] Research Sabbatical
Pure backlog research would get old fast.
