This is an excellent point.
Yeah, OK, I think I'm coming around to Kislev. The downside is "Mathilde will be expected to overachieve." But, like...
- The League of Stirland
- The Drakenhofs
- Karak Eight Peaks expedition
- Waaagh Birdmuncha and the reconquest of the other peaks
- Queekish
- Karak Vlag
And we still get spooky multiwind magic ladies. Multiple flavors, even! Can someone tell me about the Hags? The only thing I know is that they can heal Chaos corruption with bear piss.

I'm leaning towards Laurelorn personally, but have to note that as a tiny, ever shrinking nation state, they're highly unlikely to have a lot of spare muscle to toss around. This is in addition to general elf manpower issues.

I wonder how honest this excuse is knowing that Collages of Magic in the Empire does not lend out books either
Keep in mind this is not their library of exotic cookbooks, this is seriously ancient and seriously dangerous magic. 'We are not giving you unrestricted access unless you work for us' seems every bit as reasonable as the runesmith secret keeping which no one seems to be calling out. We still get some of the information elsewhere but filtered through whichever elf mages leaves the forest.

Yeah, I really like the Fay Enchantress as a character and I'm tempted by Carcassone, but compared to Laurelorn and Kislev's offers it's a lot less exciting.
Do Ice Witches use multiple winds or just the really weird Lore of Ice? Genuine question. (Damsels are implied to have wood elf ties.)
I mean, I say this as a huge fan of her who's definitely leaning towards Carcassone because of it but:I mean, I want them pretty well...
Less memey, the Fay Enchantress is sort of a bigger deal than anything that the Kislevites have as far as I can tell.
sounds good, but not like Morgiana is going to convey that much assistance herself.
We already have used K8P, and while it's useful I think that accessing any of the shinies will give us more help on the Waystone project. I'm definitely leaning most towards Laurelorn, then Kislev or Carcassone, then K8P.

Ice witches aren't using multiwind. They are channelling the ancient widow. The damsels are multi-wind. Remember the conversation with Liljanna, they don't channel the winds.

Thing is that we are working for them. They wanted us to fix their waystones and came to us.

Full cards on the table: I am a huge Bretonnia fanboy who would probably at least preference vote Carcassonne as a second pick to finally get away from the Dwarfs even if the only info we had got was a letter from the Duke saying "You get nothing but the pleasure of our company."

Chaos Orcs.
Though the significant advantage of damsels and possibly Morgiana is still in play there.

If I had the original magical writings of the first Everqueen I wouldn't let them out of my library either. Like, I'd have guards on the door, I'd cross universes and get Master Wong to throw shade at anyone looking in the direction of the Library.
No we are not. We can only work for one polity at a time, they are the ones who have control of the project though its physical location, everyone else we are working with.
Vlag doesn't really have Runesmiths right now, though. They have what they call Runepokers, which I'm pretty sure are people with Runesmith potential but no Runesmith training who learned by way of being stuck in the warp. They may well be able to help us in their own way but conventional Rune knowledge isn't something they'll be bringing to the table.
On the other hand, whatever knowledge they do have they'll likely give without any reservation besides their own, and if the Cult of Thungni doesn't like it then they should have rescued Karak Vlag themselves. So it may well be worth more that we'd think.

I don't think Ice witches can do multiple winds. They have their own special lore which nobody else gets, but unlike damsels who can cast spells from multiple winds. Their style is really more like divine magic scaled up to battle magic levels, as far as I'm aware.

Well that and they'd be understandably invested in insuring that they don't get swallowed up by Chaos again.

The downsides are having to deal with Iron Orcs (we are not expected to help
) and Bretonnian loophole shenanigans.
That line was immediately followed by them just so happening to bring up an evil they're having trouble banishing. It's like how they pretended not to see Mathilde until they knew the correct form of address, or how the Duchess was there as a 'translator' but was clearly talking for herself and didn't translate a single sentence. They work around the grand narrative they're trying to weave.
Damsels get a free pass from any societal expectations, and a lot of them take advantage of it. So they'd be used to magic-users showing up in whatever outfit they please.

I don't think Laurelorn even considered Collages a possibilty, proabably thinking that they were too ignorant to be helpfull up untill they saw our Waag and Peace lecture transcripts which impressed them that we know what we are talking about.
You are talking about literally most diplomatic elf faction on the planet.

It's pretty clearly that, Liljanna pretty much outright said as much.

I've done some wiki walking and tracked down who the big names were
Caledor Dragontamer, creator of The Vortex (for completeness).
The lady Astarielle was Everqueen to the High Elves of Ulthuan and the first wife of Aenarion the Defender,
Maruviel was the daughter of Aenarion's first son Morelion
Princess Yvraine of Avelorn was the daughter of Aenarion by Everqueen Astarielle.
We won't give you access to the books if you're not working on site.
But really, i can't blame them for not wanting to move books that old and that precious out of their stronghold/library. They might as well be holy relics.
Every option has it's ups and downs. The "downs" of not taking Laurelorn are the easiest to quantify. No B O O K.
All the options have upsides and downsides.

Ulthuan. Erengrad has an Elf quarter bigger than Altdorf, but smaller than Marienburg's.
