it's the most boring research project to read about of all, trying to get Boney to elaborate on how magic/divinity works in this setting doesn't interest me. We have plenty of routes to power reguardless.

That may be your opinion of it, but a lot of people, myself included, disagree. Sure, research into it has been slow because we've dedicated barely any actions to it, and most of those were "how do we handle this safely", but I think there's real potential for it to be an interesting topic to read about. And it's not necessarily about power either. At this point in the quest, there is very little that's a major threat to use—demons, high priests, chaos warriors etc and Mathilde's main hallmark is developing a wide range of tools and allies to deal with these threats. AV potentially falls into this, even if it's not stronger than anything we already have.

Which is why we have votes! But I'm voting for the plan with more updates I'm interested in, and I hope others are doing the same.
Yeah, sorry, I get a bit... irked when people phase subjective things as objective, which is very hypocritical of me because I also do it.
I don't mind this: it's your opinion and it's as fair as any other.
what I'm getting annoyed about is the people that write pages of posts about how they want to actually get somewhere on long term projects, this time for sure!
but then flack almost evey time the vote actually comes in.
it gives a false impression of where the thread planning is going.

You'd certainly figure that one, given the many different interpretations that Cults have.
For instance, the sect of Sigmarites that worship Ghal Maraz rather than the man himself.
Reminds me of a Sigmarite mystery cult I made for a WFRP game that never happened. Their main act of worship was to strike and kill a bull with a hammer, with a big emphasis on the hammer and the swing as targets of devotion, rather than the man holding the hammer, but really the whole thing was a front for a Khornite cult and it was the spilling of blood they actually worshipped.

Huh. Thanks for encapsulating why the Witch Hunters exist and why even benign seeming heresy gets stamped on with extreme prejudice.

Maybe he just isn't comfortable being seen naked.
I take it the condition of Pirates of Caribbean, of Cortez Cursed Gold, is much more violent and immediate in this universe?
IRRC, the dwarven hold have some ancient coins which King Belegar siezed as the rightfull owner's decendant might be undead or worse. Those coins would fetch a very good price in the antique store as they might be the very rare uncursed coin from Nehekhara.

The gold is, for the most part, just gold without particular curses.
The thing is just that the mummy objects to such theft in rather strong terms and usually has an undead army to reclaim it.
To put this in context Setra the Imperishable once invaded Norsca to get his stolen crown back from a chieftain. Generally speaking that is the kind of thing that does not end well because the surviving Norscane will get a Chaos invasion together, but Setra did not give a shit for three reasons:
- How much more cursed would a chaos invasion make Nehekara?
- The land of the dead is near the equator, chaos sorcerers and daemons would struggle there.
- Last but not least he is Setra.

Chaos Invasions aren't triggered by the Norse. They do raids and such, but full blown invasions are triggered by the Everchosen, not the Norse.
You need to offer him a drink from your chalice first.
Which hopefully doesn't contain hot ale.
Yes Everchosen exist at the whims of the Dark Gods, but a single pissed off champion whose village you burned when he was a kid can still burn down half the Northern Empire. I vaguely recall one chaos champion who did just that and then when his vengeance was complete the told the Four to fuck off, deal done rather than going on to burn more of the empire.

That's Mortkin's story.

Mortkin was all but the Everchosen. Like, literally when he turned the Four down he literally turned down being anointed in that role.
Also, he gathered a large army very quickly, partially because Ostland had pissed off most of Norsca, not just Mortkin. And he was already a renowned war-leader with a not-insignificant army behind him. It's not as simple as "don't ever attack the Norse, because they'll fuck you up". Especially when it's much harder for an army to cut it's way through the entire Old World to get to you.

To be fair, that was his crown. Not a bunch of pocket change belonging to an underling or descendant of his.

Skulex would be the oldest and greatest of the dragons that bonded with Aqshy?

He can be the most ancient if all the older ones are dead.
Fire Dragon means Aqshy-attuned. The 'most ancient' of them would still be younger than the five Draconic leaders who were ancient before they even arrived on this world.
