Huh, I just realised Magnus is 29 years old.

It makes you realise just how long this quest has been.

Honestly, I'm about ready for Freddy to die, he's 52, and I love the guy, but his time feels more and more like it's passing. Maybe he'll finally go down in the upcoming Black Orc Waaagh? Maybe against the upcoming Beastman Crusade? Maybe against some Dark Elf attack for meddling in Avalon?

Either way, it feels like the end days are coming for Frederick, and I'm actually starting to look forward to it, Magnus has become, in many ways, a more developed character, and seeing him grow up has made me all the more eager to see him rule as a grown man.

We've gone over this before many times, Freddy's time will come when it comes. He will do duty to Empire for as long as he reasonably can and pass it on to Magnus when he feels time is right if violent death doesn't take him.

Till then he is MC and we should do best by him when we can.

I personally think Freddy will die after getting into another drinking round with Bugman trying to recreate his god's drink and the both of them go off and wipe out a waaagh together before drinking enough to kill them

I expect the blood loss to kill them, not the alcohol

Though he'll probably throw himself deeper into expeditionary pursuits once he finishes legal reforms. Magnus will probably be doing the day to day Count-work (including much head smashing) while Fred goes farther and farther afield. The younger generation can spread its wings while he and the missus are abroad.

They could live to a hundred, or a few hundred if the magic and dwarf-inspired biology do their things, and it would still be wonderful. They don't have to stifle... anybody.

things I noticed in the picture are

17 eyes peering at them in the dark.
4 flagons of alcohol
3 weapons
1 shield with a wolf on it.
3 idiots having fun in a forest at night.
1 ring, at least I think its a ring and not a knuckle.
Multiple birds
maybe 1 animal but its hard to make out and I can't be sure if there is one at all.

Freddy has shown no indication that he wants to retire any time soon, and he's in fantastic shape for his age. Why do retirement talks refuse to die? It's been gone over and over again that Elector Counts generally rule until they die, and that abdication almost never happens.

I'd quite like if he would, but it seems rather unlikely.

"My wife is older than me, too," you murmur, still rubbing small circles with one hand, "And while her magic slows her aging…seems to just sort of be a thing for most magic users, it's still true. So there's a worry. Plus, I've made enemies. Being my family at all makes them all targets one way or another. I have to keep fighting, keep working against my enemies, because I know the moment I try to take myself off the board is right when my family will need me most – because that's the way this damn world loves to work. You know what, though? I've been bruised, battered, and cut apart a thousand times. But I keep getting back up, to protect them, Ostland, the Empire. And you know why?"

She shakes her head just once, her face towards your chest,

"Because I have to. I need to. It's…what I'm for. It's what I can do. And so long as I do, more lives might be saved. Forgive me for assuming, but I think your father knew that. Would he have been Eldyr, Hero of Tiranoc, if he hadn't marched out to Tor Dranil?"

Because I don't want him to fail to fulfill his promise, though I'm aware that he has no intention to retire.

...it's...it's the Northern Heirs? Of the Northern Trident? Mena von Kessel, the Blue Wolf, who has showed up in the last few updates? Magnus Redfist, wielding his hammer and making greenskins freak out, also known as Magnus von Hohenzollern? Reinhardt Hertwig, Knight-Captain of the Knights of the Everlasting Light, son and heir to Ortrud? The italic section is even parallel to the figures below? First one spoken about being Mena, second being Magnus, third being Reinhardt? The weapons are also corresponding, as are their outfits. Mena with the tattoos and axe+shield+scars, Magnus with his hammer+a drink in each hand, Reinhardt with his greatsword next to him.

Magnus was clean shaven when he was younger, as in when he was just dealing with marriage proposals, but he's significantly older now and with children. Thus, major facial hair as well as other changes.

So he's not clean shaven? I must've missed it or just forgotten since I don't remember him being described as having a beard and my only visual aid for so long was the old magnus fanart.

Hey, fair enough, my dude. Yeah, Magnus has achieved beard for a little while now. It's not as big as his dad's beard, but it's getting there. Having the Divine Mark of Dawongr may or may not have something to do with Magnus getting bearded >.>

There is only one way Frederick Von Hohenzollern gets to die.

In his bed surrounded by family and friends.
