Tutelage: Study with Matriarch Mire
Illusions AND hexes are perfect for my plans

Let Andre go off. Having him as a champion AND having him for influence in the military are extremely useful. Tell him we love him and to take care of himself.

Let Anders go off. I’m... not wholly sure on the matter of regency, though.

Free Time:
Attend the Lich’s Court PLEASE let us convert this to a meaningfully close bond
Contribute to the Dire Kangaroo Rat Business this is basically the market option AND socialize with exotic peoples AND bonding with Pennete
Socialize with Imperials I think doing this once in our minority is essentially mandatory given our home situation

+1 to most of this, but without socializing with the imperials for now. We really need to get as much as we possibly can out of the court of the Lich, so spreading our downtime in only 2 directions as opposed to 3 seems like it'd get us more success on that front.

+1 but let him be our regent its possible it may backfire but I dont think he means any harm to us or our kingdom and ultimately will be a useful asset in the future I say its worth a shot plus getting in good terms with the people who run a major religion almost always comes with major benefits if you can suck up to them enough (and major headaches if you dont)

Also replace Socialize with Imperials with Organize Hunts in the Desert with your Peers

[Shadowclaw777]

(Nah, Dragons are cooler and with an eventually specialty with necromancy we could make undead dragons of course and dracoliches, also it

Education: Study the Dragon Gods

Let Anders go off, but he doesn't become regent,

Free Time:
Attend Texulchimum's Audience Chamber
Contribute to the Dire Kangaroo Rat Business
Study in Texulchimum's Grand Library: Study the School of Transmutation

We really should fit one Study in the Grand Library Option in our career, multitudes of knowledge is possible so why aren't we taking advantage of it?, transmutation magic so that we eventually get shapeshifting magic of course.

+1 to all this EXCEPT switch Socialize with Imperials for Seek Romantic Attention (mostly from Imperials).
Since we're learning "etiquette" from the quasi-Imperial vampire queen, our free socializing can be more, er, targeted. For those sweet alliances who bring huge tracts of land, or something like that. We're only nine, that's what grownups are always talking about, right?

Seems like the biggest threat right now is the Bloodstone Plateau. I’m thinking violence is probably going to be needed to repel the Bloodstone Plateau. That’s my reasoning for hunting in the desert, prepare Arawn to lead a mobile strike force against hostiles.

I'm against promising Anders a position as co-regent or regent. I think it's better to wait and see what skills he has when he's 17.

But

But Biomagic

We can invent a breed of mounts to turn our canoe raiders into cavalry raiders. And a breed of raiders to turn our cavalry raiders into oh gods what are they please learn necromancy instead.

I don't trust Anders. I don't specifically distrust him either, but if Penteram offers him a cushy post and the clergy starts fawning over him he might drift into their ways of thinking without even realizing it. I don't think we should give him the regency as a result, but obviously we should phrase that as not wanting to interfere with our mother, who's done an excellent job so far.


Interestingly, it looks like the only Apollo question we noticeably failed was regarding our brothers. I wonder if saying we'd exile or execute them would have been enough to get us into the necromancy business.

That being said, what he said about it being possibly more trouble than it's worth sounds about right to me. Notice how almost every other brother we've got, led by the greatest general ever, is in genuine danger of being overwhelmed by a bunch of uppity priests. A necromancer monarch might end up with similar issues at a fraction of the military strength.

[Fluffe9911]

We really do have to start learning proper court etiquette at one point before it bites us in the ass assuming we still have some ambitions for reuniting the empire, seriously how do we expect to keep the empire together (assuming we get it in the first place) if we dont know the culture and customs of our own people we might as well be foreigner's at the current state (ignoring we are already foreigners to our own kingdom)

Im just worried of a worst case scenerio where our current people dislike us for being too imperial and the imperials dislike us for being too Mahallon

[IronyOwl]

Unless the bishops win the war, we are faaaaaaar from ruling any Imperial citizens. Building a solid base at home is way more important than formally learning how to suck up to Imperials just in case we get handed several kingdoms through no fault of our own.

[Fluffe9911]

You are 100% correct but it still feels like we are just kicking the can down the road we gotta learn atleast some basic stuff at some point eh whatever ill keep pushing for it when the opportunity arises in the future but ill drop it for this vote.

[Powder Miner]

We're not divorced from Imperial politics in the slightest, though - on the royal and noble level, everyone we are going to be dealing with in our brothers' lands AND in the highly politically connected Imperial world is Imperial, so if we actually have any serious ambitions on our brothers' kingdoms (and frankly even if we didn't. since those politics WILL come to us) actually getting some education and connections on how to deal with Imperials well is necessary lest we stumble into our ostensible goal assbackwards and half-blind.

Why are we not using the library? Knowledge is power, and even if we don’t want lots of power, knowledge can be applied in lots of ways

If we believe that the given options are decent choices for learning, then write-ins are of no great advantage.

[BlackPaladin99]

we need to learn some kind of abjuration or protective magics so we can put alarm wards around us and our siblings so we dont get assasinated

+1, but instead of Organize Hunts in the Desert with your Peers. If we need to get more magical knowledge to impress the Lich and that other dude, we need to spent our efforts there. Martial knowledge seems way less pressing since we sent one of our family members to become a military general

So just Study in the Texulchimum’s Grand Library: School of Abjuration Magic in replace of it.
