If this were Xianxia land, we'd totally steal it after snorting our nose in disgust and saying something about how the Von Raukovs were toads lusting after swan flesh and killing 3 generations of their family for having the gall to hide such a weapon from their overlords (I got bored and started reading xianxia novels again after years of ignoring that stuff. Its infected my thinking)

What about Natasha? Also does Anna even know how to craft magical items? Alexandra spent decades working on the ledstali and Agatha and Alisa at least are implied to have taken part in the crafting of the Dusk Scythes. Anna's magical education was significantly more ad hoc from what I remember.
... The more I learn about that genre the more I'm glad I've missed out on it.
I know of Virtuous Sons but BoC?

Nagash could probably do it, but he's broken like that. Maybe if Morghur is killed by Battle Wizard tier Hysh magic enough times it will diminish him until he fades away or if he was physically tossed into the Vortex, but there's no simple way available to us that I know of.
Celestial Exalted could do it, if anyone were to write that crossover. The sheer power of those are something I've come to appreciate even more after reading assorted Warhammer Quests. I could go into more detail of how, but the ability to truly and permanently kill demons and undead alone would be a gamechanger.
So they do have it now and it's not waiting to be found in some ruin somewhere? That's neat if it's the case.
I mostly only know Xianxia from memes and parodies, are any of the serious ones worth reading?

Nope. Ariel is beyond Battle Wizards and uses Hysh (nearly killed Malagor dual wielding it and Dhar as we saw from one of the Crowfather's interlude remembrances) and she hasn't managed to do it permanently.

Honestly not a fan. It feels very much 'these rulers are totally perfect and they built a wonderful society where the only problems are invaders' and I just... really don't feel it works in Warhammer Fantasy.

I don't think we've read the same information about Grand Cathay. There are hints of indoctrination of the populace and all the bad things that happen to those citizens that defy the god-king's rules, the leaders, the dragon children, are at odds to the point it allowed the Monkey King to take over, etc.

Talk of sieges makes me wonder how long the one against the Everpeak could possibly go on for since Waaagh assaulting it is huge and can't face it directly so best bet to is break it under hills of dead greenskins against dwarf defenses.
On the one hand, Greenskins can totally assault a location near 24/7 if they wanted to, but also have some pretty dangerously smart leaders in Waaagh.
Could be short or long.

Honestly given the centuries it took Eight Peaks to fall, the others falling in mere years as a consequence of the Time of Woes, I wouldn't be overly surprised if Karaz a Karak, even with so much knowledge and power lost, could survive a siege for decades. But you can't run an empire while your capitol is besieged, so, Gondor Karaz Ankor calls for aid.
Gotta wonder what the hell a siege that lasts for centuries even looks like. I assume it had in and off periods with a constant pressure that ground the Dawi down in a war of attrition, but it's hard to imagine Greenskins staying in place for so long, even if some came and went.

Nothing about Natasha. Already listed her stuff. Also, Anna creates engeneiring stuff, like the weird axe she got. Not magical, but certainly high quality and unique.

First off, welcome and good luck reaching the end!
Yeah, pretty much. Bipolar dice have blessed our every interaction, even beyond the battles, and will continue to do so. Though not quite as extreme as Mountain Vietnam.

I'd say most certainly. We've got examples of there being different festivals and customs from village to village elsewhere in the Empire, why not Ostland? It's just unfortunately one of the least-developed provinces in the source material, in deference to Reikland, Middenland, Sylvania, etc.
Certainly days dedicated to the minor gods, something probably called like Crashing Day or Guvuar's Day or such where people headbutt one another vigorously while drinking heavily to both numb the pain and celebrate the winners and so on.
Definitely some celebrations of Kakoral in the Northern March, on those cool breezy grasslands. Which could take forms of races on foot, singing into the winds, all sorts of things.
I would also say that there's probably stuff for Narlog as well. Narlog's Vapors is the Ostlander term for the inevitable (for most) effects of the province's rampant alcoholism. You know, the steady degeneration of the body/liver/etc. Narlog, being the God of Negative Eventualities, would have festivals or days dedicated to sheer positivity, I think. Celebrations of life, of joy, in almost any measure the people could find, something to steady their spirits in the once-Forest of Shadows which was so crushingly destroying to psychology and lives. Things like a noble magnanimously deferring some tax payments to a later date, someone outright forgiving another's debt, donations of a crop to help a farmer who was going to be destitute because his own had failed, etc. Momentary defiance to said Negative Eventualities, and yet defiance all the same has its own potency.
That sort of thing, maybe?
Anyone who wants to try their hand at coming up with some can do so! I can promise approximately zero awards other than other's enjoyment and favor.
And possibly other stuff. Possibly not tho.
They've seen some tamed ones, eaten meat from an untamed one, run from one. Those old snapshots were, after all, snapshots, picked out from multiple years of travel. РокМороз is a different sort, though, given that it was put into hibernation by Shoika personally, and so has a slightly different sorta vibe than the others they've met so far.

the mental image of the twins running does not grok in my brain lol. I just imagine the glide everywhere smoothly and always shoulder to shoulder. I hope theres a scene we get to see of them telling Freddy about their adventures and what they did. probably will be a omake.
makes me really want to see a reunion with the (and alex) of the whole family.
I hope they still have their necklaces, there are new hands to be added now that the family has grown so much!

Yeah I believe some of the influence the colonial Hohenzollern branch brought back was mentioned in the Wulfenburg info post.
Warhammer Fantasy: A Dynasty of Dynamic Alcoholism
Wulfenburg "Wulfenburg is loud, it is dirty, and it is violent. But what else could you expect from a people who choose to live in the north like that, constantly fighting off everyone and everything over their chosen plot of land. But we must be thankful for them, for all that we sneer at them...

A question, because I haven't seen it pop up again since it was first mentioned though I'm not caught up.
Did you give that giant obsidian claymore that you got from Zacharias dragon to the elves?

Yeah, there's a certain amount of crossover, but that's natural after 1) Sharing a border for longer than the Gospodars have ruled Kislev, 2) Having conquered a good portion of Kislev for a few generations, 3) Marrying the sister of the Tzarina+signing new trade agreements/treaties.
As noted in the Minor Gods of Ostland Informational post, however, not all that cross-over is necessarily a good thing. As evidenced by Ostland having a Minor God of Bear Hunting, a very antagonistic sort of relationship with Ursun's folk and Kislev in general.
I mean...
Plus they were flat out sprinting and scrabbling around all rough in the dirt clad in nothing but plate-armor-strength-but-invisible-to-the-naked-eye-Aethyric-Armor and their underclothes over in Nippon against Anpu.
In general, yes, they affect a sort of frictionless glide sort of thing, thanks to the voluminous nature of their robes.
Except when they, by the demands of the battlefield, do run around. Then its more like one large or two smaller clouds of purple/black/ivory rumbling around.

Ostermark has some cultural crossover with Kislev too, what with shared looks, horse raising, minor gods, etc. Been more peaceful relationship wise that Ostland's past though. Also share the largest border these days so most trade goes through them I suspect.
Nah. Night's Razor ended up given to Arthur von Hohenzollern.
