I think the way it works is, Ranald always hears you even if sometimes he just points and laughs, while Sigmar is much more hands off but when he does feel like it he can provide more assistance?

Because I am not I the mood to vote for damage that would going traitor a possibility. It was not Sigmar who really failed it was the hammer pope and sadly their have been incompetents and one or two traitor who have mange to get the position thought they did not ho. But that is also the case when it comes to the Emperor and the Ar-Ulric. I really do not see how developing some kind of hatred for Sigmar or the Empire as a whole will be anything but detrimental to doing our job, working with the new count who is related to a Witch Hunter and our survival. Almost every part of the empire we asked for aide sent us some so hate the empire as a whole makes little sense to me. Also how the hell is coming to the conclusion that even great warrior can lose their life in the confusion going to take a way something we set during character creation. Bravey is intrinsic to our girls character and we will not lose it if we develop a less then healthy sense of cautiousness that we could come to terms with later. We are a wizard and our job is not to get stuck in to melee combat unless we have to.

[X]Dwarven ale is a valid coping mechanism.

[X]In the confusion of battle, even the greatest warrior can lose their life pointlessly.
PS. MBoney Are both Knights of the Raven and members of the black Guard of Morr based at Siegfriedhof because they are two different orders that both serve Morr. The Knights are the aggressive ones who hunt vamps and other undead while the Black Guard spend most of their time on guard duty. I ask because both groups have been mentioned in updates.

Probably shouldn't bet on that. There's a few different ways that could go if it wins - nihilism and pacifism come to mind, and I haven't sat down and given it proper thought yet - but one of them is definitely saying goodbye to your Brave trait.
Whatever wins, this trait is going to hurt. The most important person in her life and the closest thing she had to a love interest died in front of her. That's gonna leave a mark. The choice to be made isn't how much it hurts, but how it manifests.

You know what else would undermine Mathilde in battle, tho?
Rolling a nat 1 and getting gut wounded by a random skeleton. War in Warhammer seems hella dangerous.

You are aware that dhar does in fact make you insane? Quite literally - dhar corruption twists your mind and soul something fierce.
If you want to study magic then that is fine, but dhar is literally the second worst form of magic you can try to perform(tied with high magic for humans), only outdone by the chaos god lores.

But Nagahs looks fine for someone who's born few thousand years ago.
Regular people ('s bone) doesn't look that good after a hundred. Why ethic if you have aesthetics?
Erm, you guys do realize, that our future boss, Abelhelm's son (daughter?) was trained as a Sigmar's templar, like all Van Hals before him?
He might very well be more pious than his father. Or even a fanatic.
Advisors he picks, now or later, might also be Sigmarites.
So, choosing an anti-Sigmar option, strikes me as unwise.
Ps. Not to mention, all those witch hunters which were under van Hal's firm control?
They no longer are.
We really don't want to be in their cross-hairs more than we already will.

That new map is pretty great, @BoneyM. Looking forward to seeing our intel network version of it lighting up sectors of Sylvania.
It does highlight that there are a bunch of Sylvanian towns that our purge never made it to, and which are still not paying taxes. I know we didn't have the troops and endurance for the campaign, and there were solid practical reasons for the choices we made, but darn it, we were right there! Now it'll be another generation before those places are purged and occupied.

Maybe so, but we're not guaranteed an advisor's position, and more importantly we aren't being forced into one anymore, so we can always leave if the interpersonal conflicts get to be too much.

Then it'll be our utmost duty to save them from wasting their efforts on a god that would abandon them at the drop of a skull.
Also if we want to spend dwarven favor on math/engineering teachers. Having a dwarven engineer friend is a good reason to pick and leverage Math or Cannon related traits. Now for approval voting.

And last, a shoutout to @BoneyM for including Abelhelm's Bridge in the update. Sidestories pay off, guys!
