...hmm.
Excuse me, did you mean skaven?
I mean, yeah. Shadowsteed would like a word.
Put like that, you might have someone who applies ghyran to fire. It would take really rare circumstances (maybe someone tasked with keeping embers alive so they can be later used to start new fires?). I guess it shows the difference between the human and elven approaches to magic.
I think that's an elven spell?
Is it? How in the fuck is that Cardinal Ulgu? I'd assume "conjure an animate steed made of magic" would be, like, Cardinal Ghur or something.
Sounds like a Burning Shadows Mastery.
Galenstra knew how to cast a textbook version of Shadowsteed, though. Would elves ever use spells designed by humans? Or any non-elven mages except for long-forgotten Lizardmen, who I don't see riding horses.
Far as I'm aware, Morathi's immortality is explicitly from some ritual she devised, given that she gave Hellebron an imperfect version of it that wears off quickly and takes more and more sacrifices with every use.
Not even just Grey Seers, Ikit Claw has been alive for at least 800 years.
Doesn't Alith Anar have a Crown that can temporarily stop time according to his 8th Edition kit? When you have an artifact of that level of power, I would no longer question how you lived thousands of years.
you know, I half-forgotten, but the Liberty of dusk might be the only chance of finding out the name of the Archmage of K8Ps during the golden age was... not his full collection of notes, obviously, but maybe a name and clan on some registry or mention as a contributor or something.
so what your saying is... if we can become seen as the* authority on a magic topic: waystones, mists, windherding etc
Yep yep, makes sense, good point well made and all, but if the Elves did get Shadowsteed from humans, I don't understand this reaction:
Still, when I first read it, I thought it might have been surprise that the uncultured barbarian human could cast the very useful spell, one that's not about killing things. It could be our unique customizations, but they're neat, not show-stoppingly awesome, right(?)
If we're talking about what Thorgrim's age is, Belegar here gives a little bit of a hint. We don't know how old Thorgrim was when he took the throne, but Belegar is in his 90's right now. So it's been around 190-200 years since he became High King.
This line was already amazing the first time I read it, but it feels even better reading it after knowing the results of the Dum expedition. Sometimes a line that already hit hard hits even harder in hindsight.
