Nah, not the Mannan situation but rather give Magnus the full details about what went down in Laurelorn. I figure some fo that was sensitive enough to not be put down in letters.

Your post did also mention the Manann situation and I responded to that.

As for going into details about Laurelorn, I think what went on there (and relations between their provinces and Laurelorn) are between Frederick and Naraiel and her and Stephen respectively.

If she wants to reach out to big Magnus to let him know more, and maybe work out an agreement with the Empire as a whole that's her prerogative.
 
are you still reading through story if so spoiler but if you are talking about what I think your talking and not just fredriuck get mad when something bad happen to him or his family then
khaine
TLDR?

Khorne and Solkin ( think that's vengeance guys name) tried to play pokey sticks with Fred's soul. Sigmar bitch slapped slapped them and a dwarf god came and fixed up the mess afterwards.

now he's just a Beserker because that's how he's always fought. Plus being healed every 5 minutes also helps a ton . I don't think there's a single non chaos person that's been Humpty Dumptyed back together again nearly as much as Freddy

as my post said if they wasn't just talking about how fredrick get mad sometime for good reasons, say his family getting hurt exc,
I thought he was talking about how when we had khaine mark on us for a while we had those modifiers and de modifiers on dice rolls and the weird red rolls too cause symbol of khaine was literal etched into our tongue
 
Yeah but something feels strange about it don't you think
Talking about the red rage/haze thing? The thing that was a thing before KU?

That, is a retroactive result of genetics, and the khorne Norscan landing a hit on Freddy way back in the Salkalten reclamation.

Each of the Elector families had something unique to their family over hundreds of years. Some flavor text unique to them, a hidden trait. Look, you do not stay in power for thousands of years without chaos tainting your families soul somewhat. Especially in the North.

Think of it as a mutation without being identified as a mutation.

Oh so that's why
 
Frederick has always had an angry berserker in combat thing.

It's got nothing to do with that hit at Salkalten, origin-wise, or other stuff later on - such factors only exacerbated, sometimes temporarily, sometimes not.

The reasoning behind its introduction is really much more mundane, ya'll.

Bull see red be angry smash.

That's pretty much it. Bull iconography, provincial animal, God of Bulls being a deity in Ostland, Ostlanders formerly being Udose tribesman who ran around in blue paint and not much else. See red, smacking ensuing. It later developed over time into a fighting anger haze thing, powered with adrenaline and anger.

Uh...didn't really mean for it to be a threadmarked post? Was just a response. I can do it if the thread seems like they want me to?

Any time you post something that's like 500+ words I feel it really really adds to my understanding of the setting, characters, and quest, and I'm sure it would be valuable to latecomers to read in the future as well. I'd go so far as to say that anything of that nature you put together is worth threadmarking. I take them in almost the same way as I do the updates themselves.

Hmmm, I made a wrong conclusion.

Does this mean that the other elector count families don't have some kind of unique flavor text like the red haze for the Hohenzollerns?
 
I mean...eh? Maybe? Who knows. I wasn't writing them specifically. I literally just based it around the animal being strewn across iconography all over the place. There might be some...I don't know...wolfy flavor to the text if it were a Middenland quest, or something about cool demeanor with sharp glares and sudden acts if it were the eagle of Nordland. Uh...something about monstrous ferocity with poisonous stinger tail coming out of nowhere like a Manticore for Ostermark? Maybe? Grim boundless energy like the revenants that are so nearby if it were Stirland? Something like that? I dunno.
 
Little off-topic, but have you guys seen Total War Warhammer 3 trailer?

I'm bringing this up because apparently story mode from game will be considered canon in Tabletop game reboot.

And Kislev, Cathay and Chaos factions are playable.
some of us have. Torroar probably has and was talking about it a few pages back due to the changes made in the setting about Kislev and Cathay.
 
So, this is very much a Slowpoke.jpg, but:

I finally got around to reading the Zacharias arc in detail, and I'm laughing my head off to discover Solkan got rejected by a five-year-old. :V
 
Just small color question. How did ostland go from blue and naked to black white and red?

You would think somehow the traditional colors would stick to the provincial heraldry.
 
Canonically? I've got no answer for you.

It just goes from naked Udose tribesman wearing blue paint and dueling one another with two-handed axes to Ostlander citizens with the checkerboard black/white and red bull in the center in the canon sources.

Some tribes don't even get that much details. All we know of the Ostagoths, for instance, who became Ostermark, is that they believed in unified fortified settlements and yet proved unable to hold off a huge tide of Greenskins, which is when Sigmar showed up and helped out.

I'm sure I could muddle out some reason or another if given a bit, but I'm trying to write out a Brink update at the moment and see whether or not a planet gets blown up.
 
Okay, I absolutely take back any bad thoughts I had about the Karak expedition. The battles were grinding me down but holy shit everything from the Gazul(?) thing is pure fucking gold and I love it and I love horror and I love this.

Maybe it's an affect of the greenskins and woad magic rubbing off? Humans needed to be faster(red) tougher(black) and more deadly(white) to survive the dangers so they switched from lucky(blue) to the Ostland flag... would that work as an explanation?
