Sadly, I don't think the trend of necromancers carrying loaded guns so that they can better put down what they call up has caught on yet.
Though who knows, maybe the Stirland Repeater will change that.
Wait, can we even buy books on minor Gods up to extensive and esoteric? I thought the books on divinities available to us also go up to extensive, unless the divinity in question is Ranald.
As someone with faulty memory and recently read it. To be fair Abelheim was what I remember, whether there was an Abelheim at one point and my mind auto-corrected it could be possible, but from search bar his name is Abelhelm Van Hal. On the other side a pretty consistent correction were names. An example would be confusing Grimnir and Grim(hild?) was something I remember. So it could be that QM also wrote Abelheim at one point and people hit the ground running with that.
Weird that I remember Abelheim though, might just have forgotten already then got affected when I read it. But yeah, search bar is full of people who write Abelheim while QM only shows up with Abelhelm. He even replied to people who wrote Abelheim without correcting them.

For Minor Gods, yes. For that topic Esoteric isn't the deep cult secrets, it's books that include things like The God Of That One Weird-Shaped Rock That Used To Be Near Hintertupfingen Until That Flood.
He's always been Abelhelm, but Abelhelm and Abelheim look the same to me unless I'm actively looking for it so it doesn't surprise me that I haven't noticed people calling him Abelheim.

Alright, so follow up questions @Boney:
-Do dwarves even have books on minor Gods of the empire or is that topic too obsucre? If yes, to what level of rarity?
-So I'm guessing elven books on specific Gods are limited to extensive?? Or do elves have different attitudes on those things?

Not a single threadmark by Boney currently contains the word "Abelheim" with an i.
@Boney I've got to ask. Did you correct exactly that typo in some of the older chapters relatively recently (i.e. this year)?
I wouldn't explicitly ask this since I know you read the thread. But I am genuinely questioning my sanity here.

I never have. But like I said, they look identical if you're not looking for the difference.

The Barak Varr book seller is our source for Dwarven and Imperial books. I would assume the empire is the best source for books on Imperial gods.

The weird thing is that I feel like I have been. I've seen plenty of commenters say Abelhelm and always thought they got it definitely wrong. Questioning this makes me question all kinds of things.

I think, considering Starke, that he's at once furious at our weakness in faith over Sigmar, but also relaxing a bit at seeing a crack in our otherwise near-perfect record. We have been racking up a suspicious amount of wins without any clear losses.
Too obscure. Dwarves usually don't pay attention to human Gods.
Not so much different attitudes, just an unofficial channel and a very isolated culture that isn't used to a category that isn't 'one of us' or 'enemy'.
So, welcome to the dimension where we shot Harambe. Things are... interesting... here. By which I mean bad.
So, just making sure I got that right - we can get Elven Gods up to esoteric?
I'm torn. I kind of want us to take back-fill for maximum B O O K and to make our library more impressive for negotiations with other libraries, but extensive and esoteric books on three topics (Hekarti, Atharti, and minor Gods) is 750 gc, which is...a lot.
Eh, what the hell. We should have something like 800 gold sitting in our fief, maybe spending so much money will give us a reason to visit it.
[X] [LIBRARY] Back-fill.
[X] [DWARF] No purchase.
[X] [COLLEGE] No purchase.
[X] [PURCHASE] Minor Gods (The Empire): Extensive and Esoteric (250 Gold), Hekarti: Extensive and Esoteric Eonir (250 Gold), Atharti: Extensive and Esoteric Eonir (250 Gold)

To cap this I'll just admit QM is correct and that we just fed into each others' rationale. Patient zero is Exmorri here, replied to by the next guy without the spelling being noticed. Either through independent means or memetic, Abelheim still kept getting used. Today, there are ~700 posts using "Abelheim" with an I, to 3.5k posts using "Abelhelm" with an L. That means about 1/6 mentions of Abel are misspelled on average or about 17%. NOTHING INSANE HERE! NOSIREE!

The last time we had a library purchase vote, I did a big effort post on what books we do and don't have:
I'm standing by what I said last time, and voting for books that will make it a better, more rounded, public library.
[X] [LIBRARY] Barak Varr booksellers: Faiths of the Old World, Medicine, Tradecraft

Can someone help me with understanding our Father coin bit? Does this mean that Ranald has 5 facets now technically but because it's a secret and not worshipped he still gets to embody his Fourfold nature?
We have hints right to the possibility of their identities? Territories tinged or between Ranald's and Shallaya's.
If the territory theory of Panoramia's spare is close to the truth, a motive could be that there's overlap with a stronger deity that risks consuming them.
Depending on how planny Ranald's gift was, the cult could even be related to the waystone project. It seems appropriate at least, Doylist because the faith option prioritizes prior responsibilities and Watsonian that Ranald knows that it's gonna be Mathilde's goal for the forseeable future. An Ice witch can probably give a vague riddle or something too if you think about it.
Just curious, if this has been discussed already, sorry for bringing it up again. The page count was intimidating to sort through.
