(Huh. What does it take to get rid of that dark elf? Or demon elf now, I guess.)
If the Karante has located the GodForge, start the creation of a prototype soul. The eventually resulting creature shall have strong emotions, strong sense of individuality, a predisposition towards stealth regardless of the eventual body, and the ability to enter a state of near single-minded pursuit of a goal lasting as long as it takes to reach that goal or until doing so becomes impossible (tasks indirectly related to that goal shall be taken as necessary. Can't reach goals if you starve in the process). Ideally the resulting creature shall be so inspired during that pursuit that its state of mind compensates for bad luck or slight lack of ability.

"Now why would the villagers know so little about the town they supply and are supplied from? Surely the town has something to hide."
Try to devise a spell to divine the presence or absence of valuable ores or gemstones in local soil and stone.
Have several villagers versed in herbalism search the surroundings for plants that may have other uses than food, anything goes, really, and bring back a sampling of seeds for later planting (if the plants can be used as food as well, that's no problem). Otherwise, keep the business as usual.

I'm pretty sure that those at least count for differentiating the Age of Fairy Tales and Age of Twilight and such.
And yeah, unleashing hell was an easy way to go to a new Age of Myth.

(What is the duration of Summon Flame Elemental? Depending on the die roll, I guess?)
Recall and/or gather any knowledge about the town and villages of immediate concern available in the village and my memory, especially regarding military might and potential imports/exports.
Consider designs for a forge of elemental flame.

Let's try this.
Ruler name: Pendim Hyrdar
Ruler's single 'best' skill: Fire magic
How the ruler came into power: He has demonstrated his power to key people showing how it could make everyone's lifes easier.
Why the ruler wants even more power: Because power is access to more knowledge. Especially secret and forbidden knowledge.
Future plans, after the kingdom has been conquered: Ascension to divinity, of course. What other goal would someone have?
Faction name: Golden Alliance
Faction description: Villagers with a number of mages, and lesser conjured creatures that are supposed to take the brunt of battle. The conjured creatures should hopefully be stronger and more plentiful in the future.
Treasonous offenses, and reasons for committing treason: Has secretly experimented with life-prolonging magic.
Any miscellaneous details that do not fit in with the above: Likes to wear bright white clothes and golden jewelry. He works hard to not have fire magic be his only magic skill, realizing the folly of overspecialization.

Me, for one, but not for long.
"The extreme surface of Krigg necessitated new paths in vehicle design, and one day I was sighting some of the proposed designs. A few engineers took the concept of a all-terrain walker and ran with it. Thankfully, they did not prevail against the voices who opposed putting two or more tree-sized weak spots onto combat vehicles. A more promising design was a multi-tracked vehicle composed of a few semi-autonomous modules that could easily compensate for each other called the Winder for its locomotion. The engineer also had proposed mobile crew seats to follow gravity in case of gross driver error, but early tests showed that the drivers took this even worse than the alternative, and that it would grant no advantages in a combat situation. Further tests with remote control and other means of piloting were quickly scheduled." - Ander Samuels, Planetfall Observations

Would you prefer them called gonne/hand cannon? That may work better from a historically correct standpoint.

The Karante gazes upon the Shadowcraft with some measure of incredulity. Deeds outside its portfolio had come easier to it than this task that was far closer to its nature.
"Shall we leave it be for the time? I think we shall. Shall we consider the elves? I think we shall."
Set aside the Shadowcraft for later refinement. Turn the land the new Karus elves dwell upon, and a small region around it, into a sanctuary that can only be found by true elves (not aquatic elves or shapeshifter elves or dark elves) and those lead by true elves.
Also, locate Vraccas' GodForge.

Suggestion for Ochita: Grab the Dark Elf and toss it into the void pool of Shere. Either we get rid of the dark elf, or we learn that the pool leads somewhere. Either result is a success, right?
---
(Sooo... am I really the only one suggesting actions for Ochita?)
Edit: Ochita is back, it would seem, so no need to suggest actions.

I've been having some issues with my internet connection today and yesterday, getting worse evenings. If the connection holds, I'll try to reply to the outstanding PMs.

Different types of jewelry can be used separately, that is, with enough pearl jewelry and gold jewelry, you can get +2 to morale. Trade rates, right, I missed those - the merfolk would want 3 units of building material for 2 units of pearl, subject to bartering.
