On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

What's the closest hold to Kraka Drak? I'm assuming Karak Orsmotek or however it's spelled, but I just want a confirmation to be safe because I have an omake idea involving our friendly murderbirbs and a ranger from other hold

Is someone willing to give a quick run down on why we choose those runes for the prince's commission. What's the goal there?

I wrote up my thinking here.

So for Gimli's talisman I've pivoted to liking Jreengus's idea the most and am willing to give this an artists go. The idea here with the belt's physical structure is to evoke a champion among dawi and to remind Gimli of our speech to him about how to King, while serving as a reminder of home and using some snazzy materials on it. One bar of adamant goes to the three rune plates in the middle around the buckle area since I hold to the policy that stuff that goes on our royalty should be adamant if at all possible.

Now, the Runes, I'm drawing a lot on what Jreengus has said: The idea here is to evoke Grimnir's valiant charge, the sheer force with which he hits his enemies with a battle cry. The idea is to also evoke the impact of a meteor, whence Gimli manages to become King in several centuries time. Wandering is to evoke the idea of great speed over any terrain, like a bolt or meteor searing a path to its enemies without being impeded, Impact is for greater momentum and force of the strike, and then Grimnir is for battle acumen and fire as in Pyrestrike and the feeling of The Charge. The idea that when you charge, you are doing as Grimnir did.

Did we ever have t4 magma wyrm hide or did that get used at some point? I wonder if we could put an order in for some more given how often we tend to use magma wyrm parts compared to all the other wyrms.

I'd say that it is Kraka Dorden. There are probably minor holds closer to Kraka Drak, but that is the closest major Hold. After that it's Ravsnvake.

We do have that! I forgot! I need to change that thank you. @argenten and @okcorral I'm updating my thing with Shard Wyrm Hide.

Probably best for you two to just vote using the name, while I appreciate the full copy paste, it can make the tally messy when I need to fix mistakes like this.

There are several minor holds and townships and various other settlements near Kraka Drakk yeah, as those basically fall under its area of rule and protection. Snorri's referenced them a few times IIRC.

You know, 1 bar of adamant should be enough to put plates on all of the belt not just three, since 1 is enough for a battle ax head

I am using one bar of adamant yeah, just splitting it between the three plates.

Went back and specified that more clearly.

I haven't been following the discussion on the wedding amulet, so I'm confused - why did we decide to switch from a Kingly Wisdom amulet to a Mobility amulet?

Bird yells raised a good point in that going for a theme is more likely to end up as something like Pyrestrike or Hailmantle than straight wisdom or what I was going for, since runes are very physical and preferential to straightforward stuff. Jreengus had a good option that I also found I liked so I went with that after thinking about it.

I've seen it put forward a couple of times now that we can circumvent any difficulty in producing esoteric rune effects like "good kingship" by just writing in a theme, and with a lucky roll soul cake will be obligated to put in a combo effect we would have had trouble to formulate on our own. I don't really agree with this idea, because it presupposes we can lock in a specific end result. Consider how things went with the cloaks: the written-in themes for them were "relentless, unstoppable and valiant king" and "redoubtable, vital and skilled heir" respectively and, on presumably good rolls, the result was a firebomb cloak that can be triggered manually and an ice mantle that deflects projectiles. It should be pretty clear these cloaks don't in themselves make Otrek more valiant or Gloin more skilled, yes? Instead soulcake wrote some combos that were consistent with the broad themes suggested by the write-ins but nevertheless produced very specific, and tangible, effects. If we go for a write-in for Gimli and get a good result, I think there's an obvious possibility that, instead of handing out a combo with all the benefits of a hypothetical rune of wisdom like some people seem to be gunning for, soulcake will write a talisman befitting a young prince aspiring to be a good king, with a specific physical effect of the sort we could conceivably have cooked up on our own.

None of which is to say writing in a theme is a terrible idea, of course. Even if Snorri produces a talisman that "just" makes nearby enemies awestruck by the wearer's majesty, or whatever, it would still be a perfectly good end result and a fine thing to give Gimli. But I really do think, if making a rune combo that imparts leadership and soundness of judgement is difficult with Snorri's current rune library, those difficulties will still persist even if there's a dice roll involved.

Here is what I'm talking about.

Some discussion about the mobility amulet happened before and after that post, in some parts, but folks have been talking about it for a little while at least.
