Among the top four, who are all good picks, I think I'd rather drop Edda instead of Belegar.

Who's the most important figure for the EIC? It's not Mathilde. It's not Wilhelmina. It's Roswita, who permits it to operate and rules the territory it's based out of. And Roswita's primary objective is to pacify Sylvania. It would be useful if the future leader of the EIC had an eye for things that align with that focus.

Belegar has the same Stewardship score as Edda—but where Edda's been doing economic development, Belegar's focus is logistics. The EIC has complete dominance over Stirlandian government contracts, and a large part of that is supplying the army. Spending time with Belegar allows her not just to meet an awesome friend of Mathilde's, but a king who's led and fed an army twice the size of the Army of Stirland.

Actually, I think that's public?

Edit: No, guess not.
Nah its public that we know Heidi, aka the Empress.

Us being Manfreds Godmother is a secret, because part of that is the whole Ranald wanting to have an Emperor favourable to him in play.

...We should probably take Heidi up on her offer after the waystone project, if that offer is still open.

As someone who voted for Mandred's tutor, I highly doubt it will be. Waystones seems like a lifelong thing tbh

I haven't been able to catch up on what the arguments are for the various leading options, so I just voted for the 3 in the top four that appealed to me the most. And also The We, because I really really like them and I think there's better justifications for Eike to meet them than for having her meet Cython, as much as that tempts me as well. The We are at least significantly economically relevant.
 
...Whilst I don't think it's going to be Lifelong (If only because we're only 36), yeah I underestimated the amount of time. Got 'Elfcation' confused for it instead of Naggarythe

"Mandred darling," she calls out, and the lad turns from tormenting the former Emperors. "Come and say hello to your Godmother."

"Speaking of," you say as the boy approaches, "what's the cover story for how we know each other?"

"The truth told sideways is the best lie. We met in Stirland and hit it off, and I've decided you'd make a suitable protector for the lad if anything were to happen."

From this, it seems like only the Ranald ritual is secret.

Think in terms of terminating a computer process, or a science experiment. There's no aspect of 'slowly' when we think of termination in that context.
"Interminable" means "not terminating," AKA "unending, neverending, or endless." It doesn't mean "can't be terminated." More on that below.
I was going for 'impossible to stop', which fits the definition.
It really doesn't. The definition is "neverending" and other synonyms thereof, not "impossible to stop." It doesn't mean that it can't be stopped, it means that it doesn't end. I think you're being confused by looking at or thinking of the definition of "terminable" which is indeed "capable of being terminated" and inferring that since "in" is a negating prefix, therefore "interminable" must mean "not capable of being terminated." But the word is never actually used to mean that because as a language English thinks that being intuitively understandable based on knowing underlying principles is a failure condition. Seriously. Look in as many dictionaries as you want, you will never find a definition that matches that. If you use "interminable" to mean "can't be stopped," it is not a usage that fits the actual accepted definition of the word - it is a usage that fits a definition that is theoretically valid if you assume that English operates on a consistent set of rules, but that will be a definition that you have applied to the word yourself rather than an actual part of the definition or an alternate definition. Because English actually doesn't operate on a consistent set of rules, basically ever.
