Does this indicate it will be after Waaagh Grom? Or in your view was it just the most notable and devastating?
It depends. If you vote for the quest to take place after Grom, then it was about Grom. If you don't, then there were other Greenskin incursions.
Same with Veteran of the Grootscher Marsh, does it refer to
the Battle of the Grootscher Marsh when Marienburg bought its independence, or does it just refer to any battles fought to protect Marienburg, of which it could easily be said there were many others?
I'm just gonna go ahead and repost my vote since I made a few changes
[X] [ARTEFACT] Lightfang
[X] [TRAITS] Colonist
[X] [TRAITS] Knight of Tor Gaval
[X] [TRAITS] Student of the Mist
[X] [TRAITS] Chracian Blood
[X] [TRAITS] Student of the Spear
[X] [TRAITS] Sapherian Tutelage
[X] [BLOOD] Yes
I switched out Student of the Earth since we already have magic and the consensus we are at most getting a small, elite retinue and Hero of the Black Gulf since it doesn't seem likely to win anyway and there are arguably better choices.
Speaking of which, I would like to directly implore my fellow questers on changing some of their votes or even adding more for those that haven't filled out all of theirs like the ones bellow.
If we're going to go for a one-Elf army Martial would be our least valuable skill so Commander of the Ind Campaign wouldn't be that useful to us and frankly I just don't see us crafting items that much and I don't know valuable to us they'd be since we'd mostly be relying on high level gear so I'm not too sure on Student of the Anvil. Meanwhile, if we're going to Kislev I say that Student of the Mists is a MUST with it's naturally harsh climate and would be fitting for Fanriel considering her Homeland and I'd say that Student of the Spear would also be nice to have considering the big beasties we're likely to fight up North whether it be Trolls, Mammoths, Skin Wolves or (Rat) Ogres.
And even though I see it as unlikely to win, I'm still holding a torch for Knight of Tor Gaval b/c being an aerial fighter with our own little squadron does sound nice.
Please don't tag or quote people to try to convince them to change their vote unless there was a genuine mistake or misconception about a vote. I get that you feel strongly about it but poking at people just for voting in a way that you don't like is rude, if you want to convince people you can make arguments for traits that you like without directing them at anyone specific.
You know, if the Lady of the Lake is indeed Lileath, these four options probably combine strongly imply we have an affinity with the Britannians, especially their Knights, because they are the human followers of the goddess of dreams, Lileath, who is very likely our patron goddess. Even with Student of the Anvil, the artifacts we could equip, sell or gift human Bretonnian Knightly clients we work with, probably exceed anything all but the most powerful of Bretonnian Damsels can make.
Unfortunately, Bretonnians consider mercenaries dishonourable, and even for them it would be pretty hard to pretend an Asur Loremaster is actually just an Armed Shepherd.
I'd argue Lileath might in some fashion be the patron of Qhaysh (if we're going by Lileath's Blessing giving a bonus to casting High Magic in 8th edition) but Fanriel is a Loremaster of Hoeth.
It's kinda weird to be honest, because
Qhaysh is principally taught in the White Tower of
Hoeth by the Loremasters of
Hoeth.
If I was forced to say something on the topic, considering WFRP 4e says elves consider magic in general to be a gift from the gods I would probably say that Lileath is the patron of the act of spellcasting itself, but Hoeth is the patron of studying magic.
Isha is the patron of using magic to help people, Khaine is the patron of using magic to kill people, Mathlann is the patron of using magic at sea, etc.
We aren't making Lightfang-levels of gear anytime soon
Make that "ever".
The elves are really good at making magical items. Like really really good. But making magical items is the dawi's whole
thing. You are not matching a Golden Age Dawi Runelord, not even with an elf's lifespan.
