I dare to hope that Kragg aims to forge our new ironfist and Urgdug's gift.
It would be nice, but I doubt Kragg would just leave for that, there might be more going on then just that
I think the beastmen have had a rough couple turns, we marched into the forest and wrecked them and a pivotal artefact, then they marched an army into the mountains and got stomped on by the Dwarves.
Just brutal, I think they will either try something soon( a turn or two) or settle down for a while.
I actually fear that these Beastmen were just the Vanguard to secure the passage for the whole Beastmen crusade
I mean if we look at the signs it certainly looks bad
1.the Omen was involved with the things in the North
2. beastmen probe borders from the south,
3. people are currently fleeing from the north towards Kislev
4. the lack of Norscanraids
That sounds to me like another invasion of chaos, which in worst case will attract the attention of the Orcs and convince them that the 'bestest foigt' is with the Empire
Ugh. People are overreacting a bit. Just follow Magnus's lead, whatever he does.
I gotta have to say I find it funny how in times of doubt we always pray to Magnus, through given what we always end up doing, I'm not sure how much that helps
Gunthar took exception. Gunthar the Imperial Supremacist who prefers Imperial things over non-Imperial things by default and dislikes the Gospodar on general principle because they've had a history of slavery that didn't exclude Imperial citizens.
Actually Gunthar has a problem with slavery in principle, which is one of his major beefs with Kislev
There's a great big Waagh preparing to bumrush somebody, and the beastmen are getting restless. Even if the Empire cares enough to muscle into Kislev, this really isn't the situation where they have the time to.
Actually with the Waagh bumrushing into the Skaven and the Empire as a whole not being aware of the upcoming Beastmen crusade this is the perfect moment to start shit like this
Especially with the Blackfire pass being reinforced like it currently is
Guys, Rumor Mill is called Rumor Mill for a reason. We dont know why Kat did this, so I suggest you all stop jumping to conclusions and just wait and see what happens next.
Actually, given that the Ostland rumors are 90% true and rumors are more reliable the closer their source is, we can safely say that much of this is true,
What we should consider however, is what we don't hear because it's not notable enough
Honestly speaking, Sigmar's missionaries had no bussiness preaching there, and even Ulric's presence causes some religious friction, due to the competing claims with the Ancient Widow.
Actually they had, given that Kislev was an imperial Colony at some point
We just need to support whatever the Emperor and the heads of th major religions decide on. She's not worth buring any political capital to help. We just can't be the ones starting this mess.
You know what I would dig, Magnus telling the religious heads not to do anything, because he has been aware of our goal to turn Kislev into a meat shield the whole time
The Sylvania crusades also exhausted the Empire's manpower reserves.
Actually it didn't given that they were mostly made of common citizen, that were recruited by the Wolf and the Witch Hunter crusade
As such should most of the armies of the Empire still be fine an ready for war
"Consorting and harbouring people as bad as Norscans" describes Marienburg, Tilea and Araby as well.
And yet I don't see you arguing when people call for their deaths
Are these double standards that I smell there Qeqre
I actually have a good question. How is the Wild Hunt going for the wood elves and the braetorians.
What does interest me, is it just a Athel Loren thing or is the Wild Hunt something that happens across all Wood Elve holdings
I wonder if there are any special natural wonders in Ostland that could be converted into a holy site of Taal and Rhya.
It's called the Forest of Shadows and it 's not very nice
Alex is also helping her make sure that she doesn't get too bad.
I'm pretty sure that is already a failure, given the recent events,
I'm yeah Alex is preventing Kattarin from just going ahead with murdering her opposition, because it's literally 50% of Kislev at least at this point, but I think that's all she can do at this point anymore
Not to mention that people don't have have seemed to consider that she after all that time in Kislev has actually grown attached to the place especially since it's one of the places her ancestors come from and another place she calls home like how Natasha despite not being born in Ostland considers it home.
HAhaha, good one, you remember the passage of Alex visit, where she admitted quietly in the dark that she follows our politics of turning Kislev into a meatshield for the Empire right?
I don't know where you come from, but in my place we don't turn a whole people into meatshields if we are attached to them
Sounds like skaven-nip to me.
That was actually my first impression as well,
Still my hope is that this bell at least, won't ever be corrupted by the Skaven
Seriously? When I said bring her home Permanently I meant from Kislev. if Alexandria wants to travel the empire or beyond it to other places other than Kislev which I have problems with due to them scarring her as the post above your points out than that's fine. Its her decision but enough is enough.
Within the Nothern Hemisphere, given that as an Ice Mage she get's trouble the further she moves south
Alex has the trait Scholar of the Ancient Widow, which shows at least some attachement to Kislev.
Dude, I gotta have to tell you something, despite what Kattarin say, does Kislev not equal the Window
Can Freddie really just order around anyone born in Ostland? Does this mean that the Elder of the Moot could just tell the Halflings living in Ostland to come home and if they don't comply they are traitors? (Well, at least those born in the Moot.)
Freddy can order anybody who is a Citizen of Ostland, which Alex is
Also, Alexandra is, as far as I know, not our ambassador to Kislev. She is Kattarin's Royal Aide. So if anyone who gets to order her around it is Kattarin.
Actually her position is that of somebody who is being send to the Court of Kislev to from Kattarin about the ways of nobility and all that entails
The martial equivalent would Squiring under a Knight
one with, if memory serves, the potential to even be more powerful than Katarina.
That one is false, Kattarin is literally the Window's Chosen, you don't get any more powerful then that
She can take care of herself.
One vs One maybe
Given that this will become a full blown civil war, nothing is guaranteed and everybody can die by a lucky shoot,
Also Alex has never seen large scale warfare and as such could not be expected to make the optimum choices in regards of her survival during a civil war
And, frankly, I feel like pulling her out now might just lead to a civil war in the future; one that could very well draw us in and take quite a bit of casualties to stop.
At this point the civil war is unavoidable unless Kattarin steps down/ gets killed by chaos, so that Mattarin can succeed her and unify Kislev again
Which probably won't be happening given that Kattarin is Kattarin
As it is, Katarina might be able to thread the needle and keep it from exploding, though it seems unlikely at this point.
Dude, I think you might have missed the memo, from Alex visit, but Kattarin want it to explode, so that she can just go ahead and kill her opposition, never mind that her opposition at this point is half of her population
it's everybody else in her camp that keeps her from lightning everything up
beyond the fact that she's gotten alliance agreements with both us in particular and the Empire as a whole,
That's actually wrong, what she got is an agreement between Kislev and the Empire, which is all the difference needed, because that means that the Empire can stay out of a Kislev only civil war
