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. :^)

Huh.
Can anyone remind me if this has changed any? Has Brynna having just 1 standing been unchanged, or has it decreased?

Also guess Lorna is the sole candidate for Mrs. Clause

Brynna standing doesn't seem to have changed since we collabed on Defense in Depth.

Given that Dawi live for centuries to millennia, what is the Dawi view on acceptable age gaps for marriage and romantic partners? Would it be considered creepy or inappropriate for an 800 years old Dawi to marry a 400 years old Dawi, or is that considered OK because they are both within the "Elder" category?

I dunno if you're just asking for curiosity but unfortunately I need to put on the anti shipping gloves for safety here: Snorri is currently is the really not over his wife category and may remain in that for group for a very long time.
Additionally standing is a respect and fame measurement not a measurement of how much people like you, see Vragni.

I would suggest keeping the shipping goggles off, if I were you. Other than the already stated 'still grieving, despite her being centuries gone' part, the quest has ten year turns. Not the best lens for shipping, if you ask me.

Also the Lorna relationship is more like a new university lecuture to the old tenured professor.
Up to this point we've seen no hints of anything romantic and we have no reason to think the update would change this.

Also Otrek Standing is still higher so if we were to do shipping thats the one we should focus on.

Snorri is no homewrecker! Otrek is out of bounds.

I dunno pretty sure Kaggra canonically came close to telling us to say away from her fiance.

[ ] Princess Kaggra Redaxe of Karak Vlag: The Princess, and if things go well your future queen, marches toward you. Her axes strapped to her back, red braids swinging and her Runic armour glinting in the firelight as she plops down unceremoniously. Both weapon and armour are alright pieces of equipment by your reckoning, but the look in her eyes makes you think this visit is for less official purposes.

Pretty sure that theres no other possible interpretation.

Is this what thread madness is? Look I'm trying my best here, the update's going? It's in the latter half for suresies.

Playing this entirely straight, Dwarf Romance is a path I've left particularly vague for a bunch of reasons.
1. despite my flagrant shipping habits I don't particularly have a talent for creating entire cultural practices and traditions about romance. Besides a few very broad strokes I thought of in my idleness I havent nailed down a quest canon for it, and theres enough of a canon that I'm fine leaving it as is. Like I'm not averse to having bits about romance in the story, look at Dolgi and Jorri for Pete's sakes, but I'm not the guy you go to for that >_>
2. Laziness.
3. It's not ...very relevant to the quest? IDK, if it ends up happening I'm fine with writing it and there's a cultural impetus for Runelords to have kids yadda yadda... look if we get to that bridge I'll have something hopefully.

I kinda assumed that the backstory was set up this way because soulcake didn't really want to write about romance.

Well not for Snorri at least and even then Im leaving that up to the players...eventually? Yeah still grieving so not soon. Really its my attempt to delay a waifu war :^V

Or it's set up to provide a potential narrative arc of recovery from loss and then embracing new opportunities, paralleling the broader dwarven experience of the suffering of the Chaos Incursion becoming the Golden Age.

Im not that smart, but I appreciate the implication that I am.

Also with there being way more dwarf guys then girls most guys don't get married.

Bad argument. Snorri "Moneybags" Gift-Giver the Runelord could get nearly any dwarf gal he wanted.
He's got everything:
  1. Great beard
  2. Good prospects
  3. Owns his own mine
  4. Direct (if distant) relation to two Ancestors
  5. Fantastic with kids
  6. He's an Elder

You have only yourself to blame for this. But I'll understand if you want to change the omake reward to a -5.
Good luck delaying the waifu war.
E: Wait a moment!

:O
What about Dolgi's wife? How could he cheat on Klorah?

Actually, I've been wondering. How rare is it for Snorri to have 2 different sisters in law? Well, one of them is dead. That has to be, well, not rare, but at least uncommon among dwarfs given that men make up two thirds of the dwarf population. I would expect a fair amount of unmarried dwarfs.

Does Snorri meet more married dwarfs because of his position as Runelord @soulcake?

Jorri's wife is still alive, and Hroki is dead, so having 2 sisters in law is not on the cards. We really don't want Snerra's mother to die anytime soon.
Unless you mean two different sisters in law from two different brothers, in which case I'm misspeaking.

But it probably is somewhat rare that all three of the brothers got married.

Wouldn't it make sense to have 2 brothers in law? There's more men than women, so the likelyhood of a woman remarrying should be higher than a man remarrying.

Not to mention, Jorri's wife is still alive, and Hroki is dead, so having 2 sisters in law is not on the cards. We really don't want Snerra's mother to die anytime soon.

I specifically said sister in law.

As for Hroki, well.

To Igun, your grandniece, and your mother's namesake, a third of the wealth set aside for her children as she was Hroki's most direct heir, as well as twelve casks of ale brewed six centuries ago.

Seeing as how Snorri's grandniece is Hroki's most direct heir, Igun (Fjolla's mother not Snorri's mother) is Hroki's grandchild. Therefore Hroki's wife and children are dead

Yeah, I misunderstood your original post, missing the fact that all three brothers were married.
 
Given how much oaths consume dwarfs, it is extremely hard to think of Dwarfs remarrying-ever. If there are dwarfs who did then you could probably count them all on one hand.
