Bear in mind that the same canon has the one in a thousand squared, that would as Mathilde puts it: "If that was the case, the Empire would have maybe thirty Wizards, and that's including recruiting from Tilea and Estalia-"
True, I suppose. It is a shitty situation.
Actual problem, Collages not having dormitory for the women is not sexist. It is just stupid and inconsistent detail. Lets say it was true first years of the collages. But what about 180 years they had since? That is long enough to figure out what is a woman and how to house them (which is same way to house as men but whatever).
"Ha! Would could a woman ever do, in the end?!"
this type of posting isn't better. while I don't agree with them, (see my post about the difference between writing about sexest settings and stupid sexism) this type of targeted 'call out' post, without any argument attracted, is just as, if not more toxic.
To late to delete now. But let me rephrase it into.
Someone quoted Gunnars a few pages ago-
And there's this from a Runepriest.
Thungni found it, Gazul severed it. Runes were discovered by both, seemingly acting separately.
I stand corrected.
Being fair, the thousand squared thing is not an actual thing in the book, it's something that Boney mentioned as passed around the fandom. The book itself says something like "the most learned agree one in a thousand has the potential to learn magic".
Loremaster is the Dwarf term, Court Wizard is the human term. She's technically both, but she's giving up the titles by the end of the year.
Handle the military matters of those newfangled gyrocopters (which requires a good amount of technical knowledge due to maintenance and such).
In charge of the gyro coppers.
I can imagine some cheeky Rhunkit suggesting to a Cult of Thungni representative that the basics of Runesmithing should also be taught freely to all young Dawi. (If they're descendants of Thungni.) Which will probably go about as well as you'd expect.
Honestly, depending on what dwarfs can actually do with those basics, it wouldn't be a bad idea.I can imagine some cheeky Rhunkit suggesting to a Cult of Thungni representative that the basics of Runesmithing should also be taught freely to all young Dawi. (If they're descendants of Thungni.) Which will probably go about as well as you'd expect.
I am actually hoping it would work like that in the future with Rhunkit stuff becoming pre-apprentice study. I doubt it will happen but hope springs eternal.I can imagine some cheeky Rhunkit suggesting to a Cult of Thungni representative that the basics of Runesmithing should also be taught freely to all young Dawi.

The apprentices were breaching oaths at the time. The Rhunkit have sworn no such oaths, and therefore are in no way bound by them, so it's perfectly possible for them to believe that the apprentices were right to die, and yet still believe that the knowledge of the Rhunkit should be propagated more than the Cult of Thungni allowed.
There's literally female LMs. If the Colleges had been shit to them during their Apprentice years they would do something to fix that, even of it requires blasting a few male Magisters in the face.
It's not the writing that is sexist. It's that the writer tried to depict sexism (to add to the grimdark) but didn't use their brain while doing so and also didn't have any actual conscious experience of everyday sexism to be able to organically include it without mangling it. Like when an author tries to write fantasy racism but has no idea what it actually looks like and you just pity his inability to ask a friend or co-worker with some actual real life experience.
Lead Sky-Throngs. I'm pretty sure that if someone somehow managed to convince a bunch of K8P Dwarves to use flying mounts or magic carpets or whatever that Gotri would automatically get jurisdiction, even if he has no clue about them.
I'm not so sure I share your interpretation of BoneyM's WoG. He said it in the context of them not being interested in becoming assembly line style mass producers. But the Apprentices in question committed "right and proper" suicide because of their oath breaking, which is always considered perfectly suitable, whether it involves Runes or not.
