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. :^)

...damn. There's an Odd Student. Can we let Yorri nab another one?

The triplets are interesting but Svina will likely be picked. I'm guessing AP hoarders will only pick one apprentice thus Just Svina.

Not... Sure in the anniversary vote. Will think more on it.

Huh.... Wonder what exactly the tongs can draw since the description is 'drag the material and immaterial to his forge with such ease.' Deep Magic perhaps? Wonder how the synergy between the tongs and KKR would've been.

I would hazard the ability to draw magic from the winds themselves, forgoing the need for reagents.
Broken AF.

Snorri better throw Vragni an WindEye.
Wouldn't want that wazzok to stone himself not seeing what he's doing.

Thungni still has Gormwand and a tablet with some of his first runes and some lore unaccounted for. Everyone been assuming he left them with his clan but with two of his artifacts found people are going to be looking for them.

Prompted in part from questions in Discord, I can reveal a few things regarding a few Ancestral artefacts in more detail. The list is obviously not exhaustive, but I figure these are the ones that you guys care about/or Snorri won't need a dedicated interlude to figure out where they are.

DrongrundumThe Thunder Hammer of Grungni, the weapon He wields in His martial aspect.Likely in Snorri Whitebeard's keeping.

But seriously, I wonder how Vragni would react to knowing Snorri has the exact same sentiment about one dwarf not being enough to carry the future.

Probably get pissed about how we decided to approach dealing with that.
 
I'm leaning towards:

[ ] [Anniversary:] Now I'm not discounting the work of Morgrim's folk, but I can't share a toast with whatever that new gadget is. [Progress development of Far Northern Dawi preferring allies over tech.]

For the anniversary bonus. Snerra's working on befriending the Mammoths, and the Mammoths already seemingly intervened to help the Dawi in at least one case (that town/settlement that got overrun by Trolls but the bodies of the dead were strangely preserved and laid respectfully at the settlement's center). And I'd really like the North's *thing* to be gathering allies and friends. The Brana, the Mammoths, maybe even Albion if we ever get there.
 
Welp, guess that explains where the orange runes came from. How the hell did Vragni find those tongs. Soulcake plz, show us the runes on them. Here's hoping Snerra grabs gormwand for the northern sweep.

This crop of apprentices really is wild. Izgrom continues to be best dragon, and damn, I want to know how what happened after that insult from Grimgal. Zharrock is getting fat lolol.

How exactly did we lose 6 greedy hearts in a turn? That's uh, not ideal considering where they're going.

For the anniversary, honestly, I like the Gazul one, and the air ships. The northern allies one is cool, might get us Snow Elves, but is not great for tech advancement.
 
[X] [Anniversary:] Zhufbar seeks to harness torrents of a different sort. Harness the sky, gas that lifts and madness of youth. [Experiments with lighter than air ships start earlier.]

Been fantasizing about this since we friended the Griffons.

Fleets of armored airships lightened with the Dolgi featherweight rune and guarded by onboard Brana flocks/crew? Yes plz.

[X] [Number:] 1

[ ] [Number:] 3
[ ] [Apprentice:] Svina Brunasdottir of Clan Bolgisson
Age:
born c. 482 A.P. Training will begin turn 62
Description:
Churlish and foolish. Ruby Red hair and golden eyed. Dolgi's Granddaughter, a troublesome precocious young lass with dreams of becoming a Skyrider and schemes to annoy you. She has turned your heir against you.
Gift:
Not even twenty and she already has a Gift just slightly stronger than Dolgi's was at 30.
Notes:
- Grunclesbane: A foolish child who does not know how to leave her elders be. Bah!Will occasionally gain trait experience from you.

[ ] [Apprentice:] Yorri Oldorsson of Clan Winterhearth
Age:
born c. 478 A.P. Training will begin turn 60
Description:
Brown of hair and grey of eye. An auspicious name to be given to such a strange lad. Quiet in a way that looks empty headed but is, as you learn, borne from silently observing the world around him.
Gift:
Stronger than you were at his age.
Notes:
- Student of the Odd: A curious mind, likely to wander off

[ ] [Apprentice:] Alma Almasdottir of Clan Winterhearth
Age:
born c. 471 A.P. Training will begin turn 61
Description:
Light Brown hair and bright blue eyes. While her name is a minor crime, and cause for much internal despair, the lass herself is a natural study. Raised on stories of the legendary Gift GIver and the lady Bright Grin that trickled to Winterhearth Hold from Kraka Drakk, she sees you and Snerra as the goal all Runesmiths ought to strive for.
Gift:
A great talent, roughly between Snerra and Fjolla by your estimate.
Notes:
- Productive Spirit: Return [1 heir action] after 6 turns.

I would like to pick up these three. We still have 1 Heir action even with them all, and I like the idea of an apprentice who reveres Snorri, one who treats him as her grumpy old Gruncle, and the last one who gives him constant PTSD flashbacks.

The dreams of an adamant helicarrier are possible. If we can make a mountain of adamant in the shape of a dragon fly, we can make an actual boat fly as well.
