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. :^)

Freyda will almost assuredly get the Northern Kings to agree to her proposal and with good odds of them agreeing to ideas she considered outside her reach before. You'd be throwing your weight around in this manner, and it will show. With Silverbrand in Ornsmotek there's sure to be pushback there because of it. Gain +2 Standing with the Cult of Valaya. Unlocks Options. Cost: [70 Favours from Kraka Ornsmotek, 50 Favours from Kraka Dorden, and Ravnsvake, 30 Favours with Kraka Drakk]

I feel that Vragni should be left alone, if the war with the fimir be put at risk by any fool's stupidity and pride let it definitely not be us who is willing do so. Our wife is gone and it has taken centuries before the pain became only weekly thought on we will likely never marry again but she would brain us herself if we swore an oath that we would never love another even a tenth as much as we loved her.

Fully supporting the proposal is honestly what I would prefer to do. But I am just not sure if we have the time, actions, and with the super library being started, reputation to go full hog on this without something suffering. Whether that be a backlash from Vragni or having to shuffle too many things around running too low on actions from ourselves and the hearthguard.
Fuck it changed my answer lets ride this going crazy train all the way, if we need to do more things we do more things, we need to ass pull something out what else is new. When have we ever gone partially into anything either it is a good idea and deserves maximum effort or it isn't and we should stay away. We are the gift giver the eldest runelord of the north we have held our hold against the worst chaos could offer we have when Karag Dum was taken we took it back and if these things we must do again we shall. But having proper dwarfs keeping an eye on this area and keeping the threats down would be nice, if the beardlings get in over their head because they thought that they knew what they were doing with only 500 years under their belt. Well then we shall come in to help the fools who need a proper elder to grunt menacingly at and harangue them for their inadequate defences after all DEFENCE IN DEPTH.
P.S. Changed my answer again too much pushback and too many plates in the air is something I think may end up being a real problem if we go too far. I do not want to end up with lots of nearly succeeded instead of just a few great successes.
P.P.S Could we wink wink nudge nudge the matron that this is all we can reasonably spare if only there was some big strong dwarf who could be even better than us and more helpful. Then just leave the century old woman to play the prideful stubborn fool (Vragni) like a drum till he begs to be allowed to help 10 times more than we can.

Thule said this Getting more of Norsca under dwarf control is for the best, not only would it keep our Karak safe, it would also make it even richer as Karak Drak is the gate way to the rest of the empire, so all trade go through it, and it will allow us to have more manpower on our side once problems start coming leads me to change my vote for the final time

Hmm, if we ever take another apprentice, i hope we can chose one from a Zornish clan.
I would like to know more.

Also, i noticed that the rune trades with individual runelords we have had so far have been with women (lorna, then valma, and now brynna)
Admittedly the runelords of Drakk skew female (4:2)

Brynna is a good bean - thrown into an entirely unfamiliar culture and does her best to adapt and improve on things for herself and the people under her watch. Her choosing to sit next to Snorri makes her stance clear on the whole Vragni kerfuffle, even if she might have some professional disagreements with Snorri.

Voting for everything I'd find interesting to read. Also note that the locked-in Rudil social doesn't count against the three things we can pick.

I awake. I answer questions both pre and post-doot now.

@soulcake how stiff/light is gromril and adamantine? I have no idea if you will allow the quest move in the direction this all would require (let alone if people would vote for it, or if other characters would go for it especially without our admantine)...but at this point I'm curious.
I assume Gromril is x times stiffer than steel, with it only becoming workably ductile under sufficient levels of heat otherwise there needs to be a lot of force to move it. Adamant is several times more stiff than that, and if it has Runes put on it the metal almost "locks," into place. Obviously, if you beat it thin enough it starts to be more flexible, but that only goes so far. Its fantasy super metal that GW never bothered to go into depth with and has two different explanations of its properties.
@soulcake, I have a couple of Runes for you!
[Weapon] Rune of Wooziness: Weapons bearing this Rune inflicts dizziness, nausea, and inebriation upon their targets. While not directly lethal, an enemy incapable of focusing in combat is a dead enemy. This Rune was first struck by Thorim the Drunk, who stumbled his way into creating this Rune in a drunken fugue.

[Engineering] Master Rune of Impalement: Ammo fired will strike near instantaneously with no loss in altitude and damage, and has a high chance of breaking through armor and (to a lesser degree) magical wards.
Wooziness: added.
Impalement: Added. Probably derived from the Rune of Penetrating.
I still don't understand what Vragni's problem with Snorri is. What is so radical about Snorri's productivity?
You are a vegan, you generally don't give a hoot about what someone thinks or does and you largely keep to yourself unless asked specifically about it but you have very strong opinions when pushed.

Snorri is essentially a meat-loving obligate carnivore constantly having barbeques and offering meat to everyone around you and being especially flamboyant about it and you live right next to his house. All in all, it's not enough to kill him over but it certainly grates when he's going around everywhere with "eat meat," stickers and yelling to the world that he loves the taste of animal flesh.

Also the smell of his barbeques wafts from his house to yours frequently due to prevailing winds.

It's not an entirely accurate summation of the situation and heavily favours Vragni's POV, but suffice it to say that Snorri is pressing a lot of Vragni's annoyance buttons very hard and very frequently.
@soulcake
What's the story if/when we go into negative favors on something?
You owe them something. You can work it off proactively or wait for them to come to you, with an understanding that it will be a bit of a faux pass to ignore the request.

@soulcake: will Snorri test his hammer's new ability in the next update?

Iunno, probably. We'll see if the Fimir feel daring with the rolls.

Hmmm, i just had a thought @soulcake . With how we are seen by kraka drakk. How many snotlings called snorri are there? Is it a statistically significant number?

Snorri is the "Dave" of Dwarf society. There are very many Snorris in this world, but that's more likely due to Snorri Whitebeard, eldest son of the Ancestor Gods than it is you. Though you certainly have some cause for the name popping up in the Far North. If I had to guesstimate, I'd say that Snorri is noticeably, but not overly much so, more common when you hit Kraka Drakk and beyond than it is in the southern parts of the Karaz Ankor.

Also, regarding Rudil social, I just put it there as a sort of teaser as to what will appear in the next doot. Please still pick three.

Time to test if the Deep magic capabilities of our gear empower runic works around us. I think we might get insights into Deep Magic as a power source here.

Also, I like the idea that Snorri is capable of character development, as much as an ancient Dawi he is. So my vote doesn't go for what is supposedly in character, but what is more likely to lead to interesting angles of character development over time.
 
[X] [Line:] In general. There has only been one, and with Valaya as your witness, there will only ever be one. From the moment you wed you belonged to each other, and not even death would have you break that oath.

I just wanted to vote this. Mainly because Snorri suffering a broken heart and yet still lives on is one of the major theme that constitutes his character.
 
Question are we the Snorri that becomes best bros with Malekith before we die which causes him to be in an emotionally vulneravle statew which then causes him to be seduced by his mother?
