yeah that works, we might still have to look at the state of the hold informational, but that will be to see how many farms we have and so on, rather than needing to look at it, and several other informationals to see what's going on.

We cannot reach a human to think like a Dawi. It's not possible.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this but I think you are saying if we don't complete the stairs this turn it just leaves us with more work to do before starting the Clanhall? The stairs have always previously worked in parts, so if we want to go up 4 levels and we get it 50% done we get access to two more levels. So we only need a very low roll there to get access to the next floor to start the clan halls,. I'm happy to leave the stairs incomplete and only work on them slowly after we get that one level. We already have an armoury in the northpeak and ironbeards patrolling the depths along with the full set of underhold fortifications so it is not like we are wide open down there.
No but we can reach a close approxamation.

By teaching them how the Dawi handled grudges? I'm not so sure if our King knows how to approximate for human psychology.
I think in arda it would actually be more doable due to the examples in lore, like how they might have a deep sense of being wronged for the losses suffered by the Rhun

My expectation from the teaching action is that it will help impress traditionally "Noble" values, the importance of keeping your oaths even if you could break them, the importance of repaying debts fairly, whilst also giving him a bit more a vengeful streak. I'm not really expecting it to turn him into a tall Dawi but I do hope it will give him a good idea of what Dawi are like so he'll know not to do something stupid and get grudged himself.
Like the dwarven values are ones that have absolutely existed in humans both IRL and in Arda they just take it to ridiculous extremes due to cultural or biological reasons.

A little late to the previous discussion: The Rule of Pride, IMO, should be treated as primarily an out-of-character game abstraction to make the game more interesting by stopping players from spamming the same combination over and over. The rule printed in the rulebook is not a literal in-character rule of the Dawi and the Runesmiths. The Warhammer rulebooks occasionally change around what counts for the Rule of Pride or which runes are "Master" runes (one per army), too. Facts in the game rules do not directly translate to facts about the setting, dwarfs aren't getting faster/slower in-character when one of their common tabletop models gets buffed/nerfed.
Anyone want to make omakes on the elves reaction to us

Is there an effect for a clan being Enthusiastic vs Pleased?

More volunteers in battle, more resilient to negative morale effects. Further away from Grumbling and Kin-Strife mood levels.

I figure a fort for them is a good start. We'll have time to build it up

I was thinking the Eotheod would make for a good patrol of the northwest areas from our hold (including Angmar) once we've found as many of their kindred as we can.

Is it possible to build an extension from the Old Forest Road to High Pass?

Not really a fan of sending the clan elder off to establish a permanent presence in Angmar yet. The sulfur is necessary once we've got some facilities for it but I'm hoping we can find another source.

I have high hopes for a horn inscribed with the Master Rune of Dismay and Runes of Spellbreaking given the nature of the Discord and what happened when the Master Rune of Balance went up. My theory is that it repelled the part of Arda that is Morgoth.
But for the Eotheod, a talisman with the Master Rune of Passage. Even now, before the introduction of Mearas blood, the Eotheod are even finer horsemasters than the Numenorean descendants as was seen in the Battle of Fornost where the Northmen were singled out for their quality. Elite light cavalry being able to go at full gallop over mountains and rocky terrain is pretty impressive, even if it will likely only ever be limited to a small contingent.
@Warkeymon
Based on the fluff of the Rune of Slowness, is it unusable on a talisman by Umgi absent Dawi nearby?
