More mage analysis. All mages are recruit-anywhere unless specified otherwise. All told, Shangri-la can recruit a maximum of the following in all paths WITHOUT relying on a lucky 10% path for their mages:
Air 3
Earth 3
Water 2
Fire 1
Death 2
Nature 2
Astral 3
Blood 2

None of their mages suffer from old age. Everyone has Cold Resistance 50 or 100. Everyone has Mountain Survival and map-move 2 or 3. They have 3 stealthy mage-priests, including a recruit-anywhere mage-priest-spy. Of their 8 mages, 6 are sacred and have holy 1 or better. They have stealthy troops, stealthy leaders, a healer and are capable of casting the site-search spells for all paths except fire (they max out at F1 casters and none of them have D1 so they can't forge the cheap fire booster). All of their casters except for one capital-only can join a communion via astral or blood magic.

And I haven't bothered to look at their soldiers or their summons yet.

Again, I say wow!
