The idea was less multigenerational and more constitutional, we know that guntar will try to fuck up things otherwise... He is basically leman Russ with the self sabotage.

continuing that thought. Magnus' legacy will be something people will have problems violating. If he makes a dawi backed deal with the Eonir i, then the empire as a whole will be unable to violate it with regular political shenanigans.

Nordland will also be unwilling to give up it's trade monopoly.

Quite possible, one of the Jade Magisters- Carlotta, accompanying Magnus in Accursed Albion was once a Shalyan!

"Thank you. I may not have cut it in the Cult of Shallya as a priestess, but…," she stopped and sighed. "Just…thank you. For letting me save them."

Her part said, the Magister turned and left rather swiftly.

"She was in the Cult of Shallya?" Magnus said quizzically. "I never knew."

For that to happen you need to convince Magnus, Naraiel and the high king to all agree to meet and work out a deal which is unlikely.

Unless... Stephan and Freddy manages to convince Naraiel to send a contingent of Eonir to relieve the Dawi at the Waghh at Karaz Ankor. Assuming of course, that the Druiichi Crisis is over- it could be monumental enough that it might shift some perspective, if not on Elves as a whole, then at least for the Eonir.

It's a risk taken in the face of the apparent Beastide however.

Not sure that'd be likely to happen. Why would the Eonir go so far out of their way to help someone that is not their direct ally.

Anyway, if the Beasttide does come, everyone will be too busy to send aid to KaK

Beavers and their actions are natural, even helpful, parts of nature, so I doubt it gets the same response as a human or dwarf harvesting timber.

Human actions are also natural and a part of nature. Especially in a world like Malus where their very thoughts can shape the world around them because of the Winds of Magic.

Naraiel is already here. The high king owes us TWICE over after not coming to our defence and the Karaz Ankor would benefit from a source of elven materiels. Magnus knows this would become an important source of stability/unity in the empire and he trusts Fredrick.

It is as mentioned unlikely. But they could get future dwarf security benefits, if not trade from:


Karak Ornsmotek from across the sea (as an increased security net) and maybe the new Karak Ungor just beyond our borders.

If they are being unruly at the diplo table, then we can always poke at Stephan if he's up for mediator duties on the Eonir side of things.
 
Laurelorn Beavers are on average five times larger than IRL beavers, and generally just scavenge branches and the like. Almost as if the trees are deliberately throwing down some that can be regrown later rather than have to suffer being gnawed at from the base. There have been incidents however between some Forest Spirits and the beavers, quiet but vicious skirmishes. Laurelorn Beavers are considered by the Eonir as more difficult hunts than some lesser stags, and it is well known that their teeth make incredibly sharp knives or arrowheads that can punch into metal armor like a powerful crossbow might, while tail slaps can break bones or necks.

The real questions are:

How big are the dams they make?

And how fluffy are they?
 
Now I'm stuck with imaginings of a Secret, Millenia-Old War between Super Beavers and Forest Spirits.

New Total Warhammer Beaver Faction when?

Edit: Dunno which Dam Lord Id choose for my faction, but I hope the River Paladins arent too OP. God knows the Lumber Legions will be powerful enough, especially with Mudslinger Auxiliaries ranged unit and their muddy terrain movement bonuses.

They wouldn't go way out of their way to help Dwarfs period. Beasttide or not. Not happening.

The Elves have intervened canonically in fights the Dwarfs are in on their side, and they left with nothing worse but nothing better—the latter is emphasized.

Reasonably big.

And pretty fluffy. Their pelts are incredibly waterproof, but also quite fluffy. More than a few Nordland Roadwardens get to go about in cloaks that have the rain and snow just about slide off of them while keeping them quite warm, even in the deep depths of winter.

Tell that to the Forest Spirits, which are the context of this talk, with their history of violence against those non-animals that chop trees for firewood.

Yeah, it especially doesn't help that, of the three elf types, only the Druchii beat the Wood Elves in how unlikely they are to ever ever ever ever ever make reconciliations with the Dwarfs in a way that doesn't piss off both sides

Well the closest that exists to that Edit: Edit 2: are Beavers from Against the Storm:

Beaver

Beavers are hardworking and honest, but also quite demanding. They are gifted woodworkers and enjoy engineering . Beaver firekeepers know a lot about different burning techniques. Fuel consumption in Hearths is decreased by 20%. Needs are unique requirements that can increase Resolve of this...

Edit: Word got caught in my teeth.

Edit 2: Was still caught in my teeth.

The fauna of Mallus are definitely more aggressive. Remember that romantic picnic where a bear got ripped apart by Oskana? Pretty sure barring starvation or defending young bears would normally retreat from a predator so much larger than them.

Any blurbs to share about Laurelornian woodpeckers or termites @torroar ?

Spites, the smaller tiny Forest Spirits, enjoy hunting down and eating termites, which many of the specifically tree/wood-based Forest Spirits don't especially like very much at all. At the same time, woodpeckers are not actually as hated as you might immediately imagine. They actually peck and drum to dig out insects in the wood a lot of the time, and are perfectly happy to eat berries and seeds as well, it entirely depends on what food source is most abundant. Of course, some woodpeckers also enjoy tree sap, of which again Laurelorn has the highest grade of the stuff outside of Athel Loren and perhaps a few places particularly blessed by Taal, Rhya, or the Lady (and one or two spots that Ahalt jealously holds), and while a lot of the time most trees are not super necessarily into such things, it's not that much of a bother when given enough time and general natural balance they can restore/heal up from such things. In fact, the IRL European green woodpecker is purely an insectivore/carnivore, while I mostly found the tree sap ones in North America. Overall, drumming is more a method for communication, so its entirely possible that the hardier trees of Laurelorn have specifically grown touch patches that the woodpeckers drum on without causing any actual damage or issues.

What about honeybees? S-tier bees means S-tier honey means S-tier mead. More valuable than gold! :V
 
sounds like they're's all sorts of dangerous beasts in the world even discounting the stuff that are used by the named factions. Malus just seems to be incredibly terrible to survive in never mind create a functional society.
 
True. But one of the fundamental aspect of Warhammer is that anything can be killed by a normal man with a good ol' blade to the face.

Well, unless you are facing a dragon in which case you need to be legitimately superhuman, artillery or have supernatural, because well, dragons.
