She's got a good head for business and great with people but doesn't really bring anything special to the table.
She'd be good for binding Wingbardy but it would no doubt cause Brodchard to declare war. While we probably are going to have to fight them at some point, I'd at least try to talk things out/fight when we are better prepared (namely being able to dump a load of spies/saboteurs in their back yard).
Connects us to a member of the Feathersian League, has first claw knowledge about the wider world along with the people, things and things-that-might-be-people in it, along with being very well connected:
And finally she'll be able to give us good advice in a field that we are admittedly not the best at: combat and military actions in general.

And now to look over the turn results:
And well (points at Aquileia) we have more pressing issues along with that smoking mountain.
Huh, that was surprisingly about the tech level I expected for our ships. For those unfamiliar, the cog is a ship that can be used for a ton of roles. As a bonus the design can carry a lot of cargo/passengers and since all our soldiers fly, we've basicily invented carriers.
Cold relations with Aquileia now but if it comes to war, 'bardy might end up siding with us considering we've been the ones actually helping them. Brochard on the other hand is apparently yelling at Talonuelli for accepting badly needed help.
Gemstones, gold and silver aren't that important. (feels numerous judging glares directed at me) Look, those things are mostly useful as money or trade goods to foreign nations. Money's nice but having the native resources we need to properly equip an army is better. Also we'd need to do exploration in order to find new people to trade with anyway.
And well (points at Aquileia) we have more pressing issues along with that smoking mountain.
Soon all shall learn to fear the mighty battle-cry of Griffonia.
Cool. Not something that's very god against stone buildings but nasty against weaker things like say, sailing ships and can also be used as very nasty anti-infantry weapons.
Well better to have the scum of the kingdom working for us rather than against us.

hopefully the Aquelians don't have ballistia on their ships.

Along with potentialy giving the Royal Army in general some TLC:
I don't know how strong this is in comparison to Aquileia's standing forces but yeah.

Guess this turn we will just be ramping up our military. @Questor any chance taking the military queen will give us an extra military action?

I've been thinking about that, and I'd say it's likely I'll wind up going with that. It certainly makes sense.
it would be rather nice getting another military action. Get ahead of Aquelia and another step towards uniting all griffons under us.

I'm hopping to take a look at the smoky mountains next turn just to see what it is if nothing else because I rather not have that come out of nowhere and bite us in the ass.
would all our wives give us an extra bonus in the field the specialize in? Like if we choose Candidate 2 "Frida Bronzeclaw" we'd get an extra stewardship action or if we choose Candidate 3 "Genevieve Talonuelli" we'd get a third learning action?

Hey guys how about we discuss the mystery Griffon and any other avenues instead of locking us into into a decision we might not be able to take back from the get go? Or at least wait till next turn to see what all our options are and what the backlash will be from our current actions will be?

Well as far as i can see there is no write in option so we have to pick a wife this turn.
1), there is no "Reject all" option.
2), it seems that the mystery lady is mysterious enough to not be in the known charts, meaning she is either a transformed changeling, a spy or just someone with Sneak to enter a royal reception without being in the books. Even as I'm willing to offer such options a benefit of the doubt on them being benign instead of malign, they would quite likely lack the political background to justify the marriage for our nobles and neighbors who would have a shitfit about it.
3) They haven't approached us while it has become known we are now available, so they don't seem to be in the position or aren't interested enough to pursue us.

Im assuming that since she already ran away if she didnt want to do it she would have ran away before she could even be presented to us as a candidate.
