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. :^)

I wonder, hear me out here, Barak Azamar turns Snorri into a gronti yeah?
stone skin and all right?
that includes his beard yeah?
Would turning into a gronti, then dipping his beard into molten gromril to gromril coat his beard be considered sacrilege or would it be considered the ultimate form of beard accessory and wealth flexing?
Look at me I am so god damn wealthy that I can COAT MY BEARD IN GROMRIL!

the ultimate in showing off and beard protection all in one :V

Not sure what that is, do you mean Glimril?
I don't think theres any canon information on Glimril except that the scale armour the White Dwarf is made of it. I don't think we have a reason to believe it would be lighter.

yah Glimril
well we know their something more from part 5 that their 6 actiosn left to a more pure form of gromril and I think trl2 right that it get lighters each times so yah.. still don't want snorri beard coated in that stuff though

Adamant is iirc lighter than Gromril. If making Glimril uses a similar technique it would stand to reason that Glimril is lighter than Adamant.
The weight of the metal being an "impurity" to be burned away.
I wonder where Laihtero fits into Soulcake's tech tree.
I think it might be Adamant Purification gone too far, where the metal becomes crystalline and transparent: Completely antithetical to Magic, to the point it can't even be inscribed with runes, Utterly indestructible and completely impervious to magic, both divine and arcane. And of course a natural bane to demons.

yah Gromril - Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum this is correct
edit: actually according to lexicanum it need some part of essence of god of law to make so some divine magic.

Laihtero is pretty cool but has very dubious canonicity. It's an interesting plothook with the Goddess trapped in crystal, but there are some pretty tough questions to answer.

Like how did Tzeentch, the Magickiest god that Ever magicked get his hands on a Laihtero box, if the substance is immune to magic. The Gods of Law are the Chaos Gods' opposite number after all.
Presumably this happened before dwarf smiths were around to make boxes that can contain gods.

Very nebulous stuff, indeed.

yah most recent mention of it is from 2002 in Dwarfs Stone and Steel (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay) which not sure about canocity for it but probably very nebulous so probably in quest is found out and see if we asked soulcake but yah don't bet on it
 
Okay, I have to wonder this, as I've got a fairly large beard, and it makes eating stew and soup a huge pain, and as I just made some it made me think:

For humans, with human sized beards, such things tend to drip down, get stuck, and make messes. Dawi, with even LARGER beards, would have an even WORSE time. And Dawi hate messy beards.

So how do Dawi eat soup and stew? Do they just take slow, immense caution?

Bah! Only a Beardling would be so clumsy as to mess their beard up just by eating!


Probably they just get used to eating neatly as they age and their beard grows

Laihtero is 1st Ed RPG Material, and that edition tends to get disregarded a lot for weird and contradictory canon. So I think a lot of us are assuming non canon until proven otherwise.

Also I'm dubious about using that as a source as I'm not sure it matches the properties of Adamant that we've observed, I feel we would have noticed if the armour made us functionally immune to magic.

When does a dwarf do anything quickly without immense caution? E: Nevermind, Bird clearly has a better understanding than me.
 
I do wonder what a Runelord would make of the Anvils of Vaul. Apparently during the Chaos Incursion, when gods and daemons could walk the material realm, he travelled all across the world and raised multiple of them. What's probably interesting (particularly for a dwarf), is that these are stone anvils that can enchant nearby equipment by sheer proximity, and can be used as anvils to forge even more powerful items. The first seems like a form of transmutation that might be similar to alchemy.

I would imagine that such a thing would count as a T5 ingredient (or structural material?) to make a runic anvil. Elves might (or might well not) see that as heresy, but it's possible that we could find one without them, given that Vaul apparently raised them across the world, which might include the Far North.

There's also an item called the Hammer of Vaul, although that seems much less likely we'll ever see.

Learning about elven enchantment techniques more generally would also be interesting. That is also dependent on their own system of runecraft, which from the few descriptions we have is very different to the dwarven version. They use large numbers of runes to produce complex webs through which magic flows to encode spells.
