Now we can see our way clear to solving some problems.
(1) Zenmaster ascension can happen much sooner, whenever convenient.
(a) Tome of Fire: near Hallway Maze in the Serpent Temple.
(b) Tome of Wind: You'll find it in a chest in the Boogre Hag's room.
(c) Tome of Water: in Collasium, near the library.
(d) Tome of Earth: In Cet's pyramid.
Tomes of Water and Earth can be placed in dungeons before Brimloch Roon?
Shurugeon Castle, Stout Mines and Dragon Spire are all possibilities. Dragonspire has an Oracle of Earth, that would be a good place for the Tome of Earth. Tome of Water can be placed anywhere there is water.

(2) Valkyrie ascension, I can try hacking the Warlock ascension in the Brimloch Roon Priest guild so that it grants the Valkyrie class not the Warlock. (If you want to do Warlock ascension in Brimloch Roon you can still do it at the League of Sorcery.)
A special Tome of the Valkyrie can be created, it can be required as one of the two ascension quest items. Shurugeon Castle is one place for it to be placed, the Castle is full of undead.

(3) Brimloch Roon Mage quests are given in the wrong order, Treant seeds can be left around some dungeon or other.
It might be possible to rewrite the relevant code in the GMData.pak, but that might take some time to figure out.

Edit:
Hacking the Brimloch Roon ascension for Warlock to produce a Valkyrie, this seemed to work as planned. There is currently no appropriate dialog for this approach. Existing dialog is based upon burning the lich's heart.
I turned a Whiskah Priest into a level 1 Valkyrie, complete with the Gravebind Trait.
