That's it. The status Quo only exists because the Horned Rat doesn't want to stop playing.

Hell, even GW agrees. The Skaven getting their act together was 80% of the reason the End Times occured.

The Skaven even got Mazamundi and Kroak killed in EoT while neutering Nagash by blowing up his pyramid, three people who'd very easily fit into a list of top 10 most powerful beings in Mallus whom the Skaven got the best of.
 
Quick question . How is the Taalites presence around the Iceborne Flame?
I recall all priests wanting to do something about the area...
Imagine most faiths in Ostland have some presence in the compound but I do wonder about general relations.
Do they ack as scouts and patrol? Is Ulric brother sanctifying further out?

Uh...no? Why would they have a presence in what is essentially being built up as a Temple of Ulric? It's a temple of Ulric, not a temple of multiple gods. The Iceborne Flame is a clear fragment of the Flame of Ulric itself, it has no other holy components to it from other faiths or gods. I don't recall saying this at all atm, sorry. Like, at all. I could be wrong, but I feel like I'm not.

The Cult of Taal spends most of its time spread throughout the vast wilderness of the province???

As for the correction thing, I've fixed it, thanks.
 
mhmm, guess it is too early to expect the Temple of Iceborne Flame having a settlement grown around it, with all the amenities that would imply...
Thanks for quick answer, even is I'm somewhat certain, somebody already asked of it.
 
We gotta turn the iceborne flame into a fortress monastary, if not a fortress cathedral, a monster of defense and center of worship.

Kind of like Fire Emblem's Gareg Mach


Or the vaticans castle sankt angelo

(Pics for inspiration)

We're already building a gigantic fortress there. We decided to do so during the Elector's Meet of 2337.

we gave them 5000 gold and as many siege weapons as they can fit on the walls and I am pretty sure the cult of Ulric will endeavor to match if not exceed Freddy donation if only to save face

Kinda sucks that it is still under construction when the Salkalten battle started.

Hopefully it's defenses will be enough to hold off a serious beastmen attack.

I'd like to see those beastfucks try to take it from them

i mean, considering that the beastmen are appearently a serious threat to talabheim, the second strongest fortress city in the empire, are besieging Middenheim, the strongest fortress city and are successfully blocking Altdorf, numero 3, with all the shamans, I think you are underselling the beastmen a bit here

Well, at this point I am expecting a cidadel within a fortress surrounded by rings of forts and strongholds...
Jegow on steroids as a base, hehe

Also another note...
Was Natasha EVER in Nuln?... cause, pretty sure she never attended a Meet...

I know that Natasha was at the meet where Frederick didn't burn at the pyre. Pretty sure she was there, that was the same meet Anna and Magnus (our heir) attended, Magnus gave up his bed to Roland because he lost a spar, we invited Roland to Karak Ungor.

I was doing a re-read and it occured to me there may be a strange parallel between Kyrian and Magnus Jr. You know how Laurelorn kinda got rekt by Ghorros because it's armies alongside prince heir were in Athel Loren. Now torroar said head honchos of Beastide haven't showed up yet, so odds are Malagor and co. will send at least a 2nd wave sooner or later. If Magnus reaches Talabecland before that it would mean a not insignificant part of military would be somewhere else while Ostland get sieged. I don't have any insight to share just think this was kinda interesting. I suppose dice rolls as dice wills
 
Yeah the level of defenses and build-up required to make a super temple fortress out in the middle of nowhere compared to a major city means that it takes a lot longer, not just to get supplies there, but to actually build it. They were throwing caution to the wind and working around the clock in shifts with everyone from priests to peasants and so on to try and build things up, but this isn't Black and White where you can just hold a bundle of building resources over a building and click to make it go faster.

The Iceborne Flame is defended by the faithful <- a true statement.

Anything more than that cannot be properly corroborated at this time.

Well, it may work that way in the Chaos Wastes, but that's there, not here. :D
 
To be fair with blood boi he would punch the rock and pulverize it until the fortress show up that soft magic it up is tzeench Mo.
 
torroar said:
Well yes Khorne can sneeze and create a three hundred foot tall two mile wide fortress of bone and solidified screams in the Realm of Chaos just like that, but out here in the real world people have to actually work to build their citadels of faith :p

Well, I kind of imagine that in the transitional zone, where Chaos reigns but does not reign utterly supreme and occasionally has to grudgingly nod the head vaguely in the general direction of reality, there's a band where it kind of does work pretty much like those old 'god games' such as Black & White and Populous. That is, reality is malleable and how much people can accomplish has a lot to do with how much attention their god is paying, but the god's attention is still in some sense a finite 'currency' that has to be spent. So the big floaty divine hand can accelerate a building by sprinkling bones from the bone pile on it, but it can only be in one place at a time, or whatever.

This is mostly just me being light-hearted and bantering, and playing around to be clear, though I'm not joking or knowingly misrepresenting things. No need to waste your time replying if you don't feel like it.

No, no, that sounds about right. Even in areas just past the border into the more material realm, like Norsca, are capable of having radically altered landscapes and things as Chaos surges and ebbs and flows and all that. I doubt that the Chaos Gods themselves would actively do that sort of thing, but there are magical rituals in-universe which can create whole structures with no gods required. Like the necromancy one with the warpstone that props up an entire tower, a permanent one. I can definitely see sufficient channeling of Dhar and favor of the Dark Gods and magic and what not able to do lots of funky stuff.
