I had the chronology wrong too, then, I though the Chaos Dwarfs happened before the Norse Dwarfs.Definitely separate schisms. There is very little connecting the Norse and Chaos Dwarf schisms. The Norse Dwarves were cut off from the Karaz Ankor around -5500 IC at the start of the Great Incursion as the Underway passages weren't complete enough for movement between the holds and they were isolated as a result. The Chaos Dwarves fell to Hashut around -3900 IC, around 500 years after the end of the Chaos incursion after a lengthy siege by chaotic forces. The source, outcome, time frame and cultural frame work of both schisms are entirely different and couldn't realistically be counted as the same schism.

Tbh, I don't even think the Norse Dwarfs can be called a schism. More of a Splintering, due to it's unintentional nature.
Huh... they did not have Snorri Klausson, then.There were apparently cultural tensions before then, with the Norse dwarves moving that far north so they could experiment with runecraft in a high magic environment in a way the southern holds disapproved of.

Angels appreciate alliterationTo be fair, Pan made drugs. That doesn't mean she does them.
Can I convince you to wait until we have our tricked-out gyrocarriage? Their reaction to Sir Weber arriving in style should be entertaining.Turn 24, in the year 2481.5. This was about three and a half years since the last time we were there, and it's now been about five and a half years. Personally, my preferred rate of visitation is "once every five years or so," so I'm gonna keep voting for it until it wins.

[ ] Thorek Ironbrow, to witness the arrival of the first Dwarf in Tor Lithanel for over four thousand years.
You know, I don't have a problem with the social action but I don't understand why it's happening now.
Thorek is going to show up and... what? Have a look around and then leave again? We haven't yet finished gathering everybody or taken the action to have the big meeting where everyone throws their Waystone knowledge in the pot. I'm not at all clear what Thorek is actually going to do in Tor Lithanel! Is it just a show that "yes, we actually have Runelord support" to build confidence?
You assume the dwarf runelord is going to take cues from what must to him look like a child, a child savant true, but still absurdly young. It could be that he is going to go right to the nearest waytree and start pocking it.
Turn it around. I expect he's always busy and has no time to waste, so he would want to show up when everything has been prepared for him to begin work and not before. I mean we don't even have a workshop space for him or a guide to take him to waytrees and answer whatever questions he wants to ask.
Would he actually assume we could make a workshop to his specifications? From what we understand of dwarfs they want to make their own workshops, Kragg certainly did in K8P.
Apologies if this has been asked since the update, I only have a limited time to go through the thread today, but I find myself missing Panoramia. I assume we don't have altogether that much to talk about to justify a social action, but she is very nice and was really helpful for Johann so I wanted to check in.
