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. :^)

Hey question @soulcake
Would the Griffons of Skarrenraz Ankor see normal Griffons like we see Apes or Dogs?
Would Dwarves appreciate dogs as pets? Probably won't like cats they are too lazy.
Also had an idea for an omake to explain why Greedy Griffons do not leave the Far North too much. Is there a reason for that ever given? Do Dragon Ogres leave the Far North too much? Also would the Griffon powers of snow and storm be weaker if they left the North?

Is there a better name than Greedy Griffons?
 
Branakroki For a name.

And on that note, I split the Griffin unit into 2, Armored Griffins with about 9k HP and 100 armor, and Branakroki with Sneak, Stalk, Hide in Forest, with 30 armor and 8k HP.

Branakroki seem to be more balanced so far. Testing phase done in, eh... month? Two?

1. Us and like chimps as a comparison.
2. too short-lived in either case.
3. No time to really go spread themselves, nor do they have the pop to support it really.
4. Dragon Ogres probably leave the far north, they may not even be specifically found JUST there either.
5. No.

[Non Canon] Dolgi Bolgisson's Runesmith Survival Guide, +5 to an Apprentice Roll [USED]
  • Apocrypha
    • AN: Inspiration hit me and I want to share a short omake for you all. Based on a popular show that I watched as a kid. Enjoy!

    Dolgi Bolgisson's Runesmith Survival Guide
    ​
    Word just came from Master Snorri that there are signs of a Shard Wyrm near the Karak. So me and Fjolla are hard at work with our own projects, Fjolla is making a Banner while I am forging Griffin armor. I had just finished quenching a back plate, when Master Snorri arrived with two dwarves, most likely his new apprentices.

    "Alright wait here, while I pick up several things you'll need for your next lesson. I'll be back in a few minutes." With that said, Master Snorri left to get what I think are the weights and books in the mundane storage.

    Seeing a golden opportunity to get to know the fresh ore to the forge, I took off my gloves and went over to the younglings to introduce myself. A quick glance at Fjolla shows that she is currently inscribing a rune to a Talisman, so it is likely that she will be too busy introduce herself.

    "So you are Master Snorri's new apprentices, huh. Dolgi Bolgisson of Clan Scorrilling, Master Runesmith and one of Master Klausson's former students. The Kvinn that is engraving a Rune whilst listening in on our conversation at the back is Fjolla Igunsdottir of Clan Hrokisson." The two poor unfortunate souls have no idea what Master Snorri has in store for them. They stare at me with the same wide eyed wonder I used to have when seeing other Master Runesmiths.

    "Greetings Master Bolgisson and Master Igunsdottir, I am Nain Kazzarsson of Clan Stoneplate." The beardling bows his head, likely from years of etiquette training.

    I raised my hands in a halting motion, "We don't do that here. I'm not a Longbeard yet so there's no need to be all nice and proper. Master Dolgi is fine, we're all gonna be peers soon enough anyway." his flustered expression is pretty amusing.

    "Karstah Khazadsdottir." The plaitling simply offered her name, the lack of a clan strongly indicates that she is a foundling, perhaps from one of the Minor Holds that did not survive the Incursion, so it is best to not point it out and just nod at her.

    "Nice to meet you lass, well since you are apprenticed to Master Snorri, as a "Welcome to Apprenticeship" gift I made this guide for Runesmith Apprentices so that you'll have a easier time under Master Snorri." With that said I gave the two apprentices a tome.

    "Dolgi Bolgisson's Runesmith Survival Guide?"

    "That is right, this tome contains lessons and tips on how to survive Master Snorri's unconventional teaching method. Nain, you may have an idea of what Runesmithing is all about due to living with a Runesmithing clan and Karstah, may not know what exactly you are getting into when you are apprenticed to a Runesmith. However, no apprentice is ever prepared for Master Snorri's unique teaching methods, so this tome will help prepare and explain the various lessons Master Snorri will teach you." As the apprentices open the tome, they start to read a few of the entries.

    "Be wary of Pocket Gravel?" I shiver.

    "You'll know it when you feel it."

    "Don't you mean see it?"

    "I know what I have said."

    With that said, Master Snorri came back with the various tools in tow.

    "I see you are all getting to know each other. Good saves me the trouble and time. Wear this, we are going for a walk." He eyes the tome I gave and raised an eyebrow and a side glance at me.

    I shrug "It is just some of my personal notes from my time as an apprentice that I have made various changes over my time as a Journeyman. Should help them better understand your... uh unorthodox teaching methods."

    "Bah, you and the other apprentices I had taught turned out fine. No harm in letting them keep it though. Alright lets get a move on, we are burning daylight." With that, Master Snorri ushered the poor souls to start the harsh of years of Grumbling, physical and mental torture that are called 'lessons', and Liberal use of Pocket Gravel. I wish them luck, because they are certainly going to need it.

    • You know... with their power over the wind, over the snow and ice...

    I wonder if Griffons could wind up playing a role in Kislevite mythology and religion? That'd be an amusing thought. Kislev having Griffon imagery in this timeline, too.

    'course, they'll also have some presence in Norsca's stories and myths, too. I wonder if people'll call them Snow Wolves of the Sky or something?

    ... I also wonder what a Griffon would be like on a boat, or dealing with boats. The ability to conjure up a storm after all...

    Being able to make a storm at will basically means they can shut down naval battles from groups not Helf and Delf and Lizardman. Helves and Delves can just go through because they're bullshit, and the Lizardmen have better magical bullshit by far.

    (I like the Griffons but it would be stupid to say the KoTS could even compare to a 5th gen in magical terms. Slaan Scary.)

    I doubt it, the char sheet would probably list her as part of clan Winterhearth if he had.
    I think that he is effectively fostering her though. Its already been noted that Dolgi, Fyolla and Snerra spent more time with us than their own family.

    Tbh her fellow foundlings gave her a nickname that sounds pretty badass, so i wouldn't be surprised if she started going by Drakksdottir as a last name to ditch the foundling name.

    If we did the adoption, she would be an exception to the normal dwarf naming convention, where she'd take the name of her mother.
    But since Snorri is a widower, she'd take his name and end up as Snorrisdottir.

    In this case i think she would prefer Snorrisdottir to Drakksdottir, as it has a more personal/familial association.

    There's also the option of taking her into the Clan as a support structure (the middle road), so she'd take the name Karstah Drakksdottir of Clan Winterhearth.

    i really wonder what Snerra is building. this is her first big seclusion project

    I have high hopes that she'll make a master rune of something, with that +15 bonus, she'll probably have a similar bonus to Dolgi and Fjolla due to experience (around a century), and probably has something on top due to being a once a generation prodigy. Hmm, now that I reread that part, Dolgi also had a +15.

    anyway... i just have my fingers crossed for a really high natural roll, before bonuses.
     
    I'm just waiting for the day Snerra looks at something Ancestor made (nat crits) and points out a flaw!

    Granted it will likely be a few centuries at least before even she is that good.
     
    I really wanna see what else we can do with the Master Rune of Purification. Especially with Magic Denied as our trait.

    What would haopen if we use a T5 material with it on a Banner? Maybe with some combination of Spelleating, Spellbreaking or Warding? Maybe even Rune of Fire, since heat seems to be the byproduct of Purification.
