Warhammer Fantasy: Divided Loyalties - an Advisor's Quest

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Reader mode
While the circumstances for mundane application aren't liable to come up often, we have to consider General of Fog is likely powerful, given the drastic upgrade to the narrative that Windreader got when it became Windsage.

Mixing winds turns hoomans nutso over the long run, which is why Teclis taught by splitting them up.

Presumably because it curdles into Dhar, although how the elves avoid that is an interesting question. What about doing it outside the caster, and having one or more casters per wind, and keeping them compartmentalized so they don't become Dhar?

They do it by being good enough that they cast each individual spell in perfect parallel and get them doing the desired effect individually without mixing together.

"Doing it in Series" is more a level of "Use one Wind to push another Wind in a direction you know it'll move towards without too much pressure (Which would create Dhar)"

Is Quaysh dissallowed by the laws of magic if we "success need no excuses" it?

I think you're missing the emphasis of General of Fog on utilization as a GENERAL, ergo a commander of a full army. Not a hero.

Eh, we have a spell of summon army.

That's why Abel gave us the Liber Mortis after he made it absolutely clear that the Castle Drakenfels should fall no matter what. So even if the armies of Stirland, dwarves and halflings fell, Mathilde would still have access to a legion.

No, actually. Storryeater is a lost cause, trying to turn him against Ranald is like trying to make me turn on Abel. I respect my opponents enough to not challenge them on this.

So instead I'll say this: @storryeater, have you asked Ranald what you should vote for? Who knows, maybe he is a big fan of the ducklings and want Mathilde to raise them well, we can't presume to know this.

Casting multiple spells perfectly in parallel sounds like something multiple human casters could in principle do with practice.

Fair enough, Ranald, what do you think?

(written after the dice roll) huh... he agrees with my on general (2 4s) but doesn't feel strongly enough about my options to go full hog.
storryeater threw 4 4-faced dice. Total: 13

Hunh. Thought we weren't getting these for at least one more turn. Guess the plan changed. That out of the way:

THORGRIM DIDN'T EXPLAIN AZRILBEZAZ TO BELEGAR? THAT... THAT... I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF A SUFFICIENTLY INSULTING TERM FOR THAT. THAT SHODDY TUNNEL BRACING OF AN EXCUSE FOR A LEADER!

I am genuinely infuriated about this. I take back most of the nice understanding things I said about him.

That sounds suspiciously like you think the line of Dwarven High Kings reaching back 10,000 years didn't make the right call in their policy of absolute secrecy.

Sounds like manling talk, to me. Surely if keeping silent was wrong, an ancestor would have spoken up by now.

"'Just as the Dwarves do,'" he repeats. "'Just as the Dwarves do.' Oh, Grimnir give me strength, Valaya give me wisdom, Thungni give me eyes to see the unseen. First Thorgrim did not send aid. Then the Crown was reassembled. Then Thorgrim sends aid. Oh, that sly old bastard."

"You think-" you begin, and then stop yourself, realizing that this fits exactly with Algard's concerns with Ulthuan. Magic being siphoned off across a continent for the benefit of a single central power, leaving those being robbed in ignorance. "Oh."

"'So long as the Rune of Azamar endures, the Karaz Ankor shall never fall.' Right there in plain sight, lying to all our faces. It's bloody powered off the Karaz Ankor, for the benefit of Karaz-a-Karak. I thought I'd put his beard to the fire when we spoke, but he's willing to send aid to fortify because it lets him rob my Kingdom blind." You remain silent, extremely uncomfortable with how this is escalating but not able to point out any outright errors in his reasoning. He sighs again. "Thank you. Once more I am in your debt."

Normally, you love to be praised in this matter. Today it leaves you cold.

Thorgrim... :facepalm:

As always, things would be a lot more straightforward if an Elf in authority stepped forward and said 'we are an independent geopolitical entity from Ulthuan, we renounce all their actions, here are the borders of our land claim', but the Wood Elves seem to think that an arrow from a treeline is a valid form of geopolitical protest and the Dwarves are unwilling to give Elves the benefit of the doubt.

^^See this, Thorgrim? It's a depiction of the exact elgi attitudes the Karaz Ankor hates so much - it is, should a few words be swapped out, your current situation. That's how dumb you're being, Thorgrim - not just shoddy like an umgi but dancing around the topic like an elgi. Have you learned nothing from the War of Vengeance?

I have a lore question for anyone who knows. Do College wizards from different Colleges ever cast combined spells of any sort, using multiple winds at the same time to achieve some combined effect, or would that be breaking new ground?

Here's QM word on the subject:

It's considered theoretically possible, but it's theorized you would need eight people channelling exactly equal amounts of their Wind, and all eight would need to be mentally compatible with the other seven.
