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 think it's less they don't make runes for peaceful purposes and more like most people just can't afford it. Runesmiths can and do rune all their personal non combat stuff up but the average dwarf can't afford runic weapons let alone luxury goods. And since you're living on a deathworld, once you do become succesful enough to comission rune equipment, it's pretty much always going to be combat or profession related gear first and only the really wealthy can pay to have mundane goods runed up for convenience. Kraka Drakk and the north in general is a bit of an outlier since Snorri subsidized the costs for an entire generation back during the incursion and there's a lot of runesmiths bringing the costs down a bit.

On that note, one day in the waytapped future, we better flex our adamant wealth by giving Gloin an adamant tableware set. The knives can have MAlaric on it.
 
I wonder if one of the big reasons Snerra isn't interested in relationships is that every dwarf seems so incredibly grim and cold next to her; she might only be interested in someone who can meet her where she is at without dragging down her mood all the time.

There are no intelligent big cats in warhammer, afaik.

But... i present an alternative: Unicorns

1) Intelligent
2) Shiny
3) Drawn to purity and selflessness... and we know the thought process behind Fjolla's most recent (unfortunate) deed
4) Antimagic!

Unicorns are a great idea, but just because canon didn't have intelligent cats, doesn't mean they aren't out there, this world is AU after all(plus I just think her history of rejecting most men for so long, making her a crazy cat lady would be funny)

So we have 3 traditionally opposed creatures becoming friends/Allie's/pets of dwarves, can anyone guess what is next and which Zorn dwarf has a heart attack first?

I want to say our girl Fjolla ends up entrancing some of the big cats(long tooth or white tigers) with her gems and light runes so they follow her as a crazy cabal of cats, making her a rare married crazy old cat lady.

Second thought is Nain ending up helping with some of the boats(special equipment to handle salt water and still be a good weapon at sea) and ends up with sea serpent swarm.

Finally, our dragon babies need to go take their own followers(like maybe a chimera or a group of Demigryphs)

Nah, the dragons will loop back around and be the ones to find humans :V
 
The mentions of the mammoths being spirited away by the Skytitans makes me wonder if there will be Ogres getting involved in the future as the next big enemy wave considering their Great Migration is what will screw with everyone in their paths and cause the giants to devolve.

Instead, they found a total of 24 jumbos, apparently drunk, sleeping near the place where mahua flowers were kept in water in large pots for fermentation.

"We went into the jungle at around 6 am to prepare mahua and found that all the pots were broken and the fermented water is missing. We also found that the elephants were sleeping. They consumed the fermented water and got drunk," Naria Sethi, a villager, told PTI.

There were nine tuskers, six females and nine calves, he added.

The villagers tried to wake up the animals but to no avail. Following this, they informed the forest department.

The flowers of Mahua tree (Madhuca longifolia) are fermented to produce an alcoholic drink, also called Mahua. Tribal men and women in various parts of India traditionally make this liquor.

Forest department unsure about intoxication
Upon reaching the spot, the forest department personnel in the jungle had to beat drums to wake the herd up.

The elephants then went deep inside the forest, said Ghasiram Patra, the forest ranger.

They've simply never acquired the taste yet.

Isn't that in a few thousand years, when the Dragon Emp smashes them with a warpstone meteor? Until then, they seem happy staying on the plains and out of the moutains.
 
I've never been a fan of Dwarfs with cavalry, but Dwarfs riding on Mammoths in ridiculous howdahs that are essentially mobile bastions is such an incredibly awesome and yet still thematic image I'm actually surprised its not a more common fixture of the 'Dwarf motif' in fantasy in general.

It probably won't be Mammoth cavalry, since the Mammoths seem to hate any idea/look of being compared to their non-sapient cousins.

Instead think runic armored phalanx of sapient mammoths trampling lesser enemies beneath their feet.

Also they can throw bolts, trees, runelords, and boulders with there trunks and tusks. Plus if they become accepted imagine a mammoth with a talisman around there trunk that could strengthen, maybe allow a long range attack. I don't know it's just you could be a total gremlin about this.
 
Remember Snorri's bout of inspiration about weaponizing Dwalin's voice with runes?

Imagine using a mammoth's trumpeting, which is naturally so much louder.
 
Hm... How many actions are we thinking of putting into the Coronation Gift next turn? My personal thought is either 3 from Snorri, or 2 from Snorri and 2 from Karstah. The former seems more likely so that Karstah could also finish up the Smelter, but I could be missing something.
 
I have a question about Dwarf stuff, and although it's a bit off topic I think this is still a good place to ask: do we have a date for when the Dwarfs invented steam power?
