During her work managing the branch college and waystone Project, Lady Magister Weber learns, much to her shock, the she is the Senior Fellow of the Grey College, and has been for quite sometime.
That would be quite the memory unlock. Especially when she gets to the end of the new flashback and realizes that the person responsible for locking her memory was her, and now she has to do it again to keep the Grey College org chart properly obfuscated.
Anyway, pre-voting time? Here's mine:
[X] (LIBRARY NAME) Kron-Azril-Ungol/the Incorruptible Library of Karak Eight Peaks
First, I like having different but similar/compatible names in Khazalid and in English (technically Reikspiel, but eh). The argument for Kron-Azril-Ungol won me over from Karaz Kron (it also makes the Khazalid name stand out a bit more from the sea of Kara- words). And I decided that I actually quite like the Incorruptible Library for the English/Reikspiel name. I feel like it works on multiple levels. "Incorruptible" has the obvious and more typical meaning of not being subject to corruption in the sense of the corruption of morals/administration, which is actually quite apt for a library built in honor of a Grey wizard (who are charged as an order with rooting out corruption within the Empire as the Sword of the Emperor), and that is being built and administered by dwarves. Who have famously strong views on dishonesty and corruption of any kind.
But more than that, there's also corruption in the more poetic sense of the material corruption of decay. The Incorruptible Library is one that will not be corrupted in purpose, nor shall what it holds be suffered to be corrupted in form. Integrity in both spirit and substance.
Which, incidentally, also synergizes well with the Khazalid name that Redshirt Army came up with.
[X] (BRANCH NAME) Weber Institute for Intercollegiate and Extracollegiate Sevirric Studies, simply the Weber Institute for short
I see the branch as being (hopefully) as much a part of our legacy as the library in the long run, and I'd like to bring a similar level of seriousness to naming it. I do also actually care more about putting Mathilde's name in it for the branch than for the library (the library will, presumably, still have a tasteful statue or something explaining the dedication). She's a wizard, and this is very much part of her career and life's work. I'd like to have that explicitly acknowledged by her professional peers.
I'll also note that all of Mathilde's other punny/acronymic names were things that could be presented to others as a fait accompli, that will exist and be of use regardless of their feelings on the name. The branch is going to be something we'll need to recruit people for. The acronyms of Mathilde's name are mostly okay, actually, but the outright jokes, nah. Imagine whether a name is something you'd like to use on the letterhead of official correspondence from a college, is the standard I'm working from.
[X] (LIBRARY) High-level policy
[X] (LIBRARY) Head Librarian
The one thing I'm sure of is that I don't want this Transcendent Boon to be just a fire-and-forget exercise. If nothing else, Mathilde
deserves to be involved - this is her reward because she loves books and this is something she dreamed of, and I think that at least IMO part of the reward is getting to actually watch that dream coming to life and be a part of it.
