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. :^)

spend a turn to do some reagent research?
Ooooooh nice! This saves us a ton of favor in orders.
favor running low *discover's durin consertation answer* snorri goes on another drunker binge and makes enough runic toys and equipment for everyone in The North, everyone in debt to him again :V

Yes, and Snorri is a runelord. He shouldn't just be executing his junior's designs. He's not an apprentice who hasn't gone on his journey yet.

I think, tbh, that the person who does part one of a design should also have to do part 2 to construct it. If Snorri trusts Karstah to design something, it should also be her responsibility and her reward to build it.

Karstah planning and executing is already something she can do on her own and kinda defeats the "working together" dynamic she has with Snorri.

Also, a junior on the way of becoming a peer executing a senior's design is a bad look if it happens systematically. A senior executing that junior's design shows both trust in the junior and the senior's confidence in their position.

Besides, it's not like Karstah has never helped building Snorri's designs, Khazagar was mainly a Snorri design but Karstah did a lot of the groundwork for the contruction.

works as training for karstah, she designs everything, her master makes it showing he trusts her and shows her that her designs are good, or if not good.

kinda like the situation where smith's apprentice piece is used by family, do you trust your work with your family life?
 
Also trying to think about a Banner to make the Heartguard more durable ( I know, it's been discussed before ), and I had a thought. Mostly from the weird Slave Wyrm they fought. My brain initially wanted to slot in the Rune Of Plaguebane somehow, but I just couldn't find a way to phrase it that felt right. Assuming that everything works, of course:

Rune Of Hearthward (Banner), Master Rune Of The Mountain Soul (Banner), Rune Of Hope (Banner)
They are the guardians of Home and Hearth, Ancient and Resilient as the mountains themselves, Beacons of Hope in the darkness.

Mountainsouled makes the individual dwarves beneath the banner more durable and capable of regenerating from wounds that do land.
Hearthward protects them against fatigue and disease, hopefully poison, and combined with Mountainsouled, might be able to make them close to actually tireless as well.
Hope is there because... well, it felt right.

I could see switching out Hope for something, maybe make it related to carrying the light of the hearth instead, but I wanted to get this idea of my brain.
 
shame we cannot have multiple banner stacks, imagine if every hearthguard each had a banner attached to their back on a pole.
 
Here's an idea for a piece to allow people to use Windsight without needing to give up an eye. An eyepatch with the runework done on the front and the "contact point" on the back of the eyepatch, allowing it to replace the sight without losing the eye.

Can't do the runework onto the front of an eyepatch. Go back and check the first turn 58 results to see why - rule of form issue.

I mean we can also mount it on diadem, so the prosthetic eye test on the head as a third eye.

It's like the third arm prosthetic idea.

would that not run into the rune of form issue for the prosthetic i mean? at least with the head you can still control and see out of it probably and use the prosthetic eyes shoved into it and connect to it.
 
With his windsight eye, could Snorri look at young Dawi and be able to tell if they have the Gift even before they pick up the hammer?
An eye that was so full of dark magic that, even in death and after it had been destroyed, putrid black smoke wafted off the socket like the worst sort of steam and black while black, viscous blood dripped down and polluted the ground.
'and black while black'? I think two of those words were supposed to be deleted.
Snorri: what would you give up to solve Durin's Consternation?
Conclave: Anything
Snorri: then rip our your eye and gain my knowledge as I do for you *takes out his windsight eye in front of everyone from his own socket and holds it up still glistening wet*
Fitting, since Odin is most likely the origin of Santa (and also Gandalf).

The eye would rest on one's forehead, probably would have to actually close the eyes to use it.

In the end the idea of a third eye is also a thing the elves have when it comes to windsight so better than reinvent the wheel.
 
another experiment is to see the difference between a non detailed and a detailed gronti under the eye, or maybe see if carving physical copies of the wind channels into the gronti would improve it even more.
