Keep in mind one of the theories about the parentage is 'daughters of Ariel and Orion', which is to say avatars of Isha ad Kuronos, the former me which is a good theory for being Shayla, so all it would take is an elf Avatar of Leoc in the mix and... yeah magic godly elf babies.

I mean… not wrong.
I think at this point he deserves a capitalised 'the'.
The endless plot hooks of Boney's worldbuilding.
…this implies that some cheeky git notice Mathilde floundering through the bureaucracy and rather than help they rushed off to tell Dragomas who in turn decides to sit back and watch rather than help.
I suppose this is what Mathilde gets for gallivanting around the world Doing Things rather than spending time at the
Between her weapons and allies I suspect Mathilde could make a credible claim at being one of the most powerful Wizards in the Empire.
I like him. Very Gandalf.
Whenever I think I'm used to Warhammer names by now, I am confronted with GW apparently deciding that someone's parents didn't see any issue with naming their daughter "Daughter".
I'm kinda compelled to assume that Tochter Grunfeld's name is partly or wholly a druidic title of some sort rather than a first and last name, just to protect my sanity.
Really hoping that was the intent on GW's part as well, I guess.

Interesting thing about Sisters of Twilight is that their lore got a complete overhaul between 6th and 8th Edition.
In 6th they were a kid named Naestrahan who ventured into the Forest of Athel Loren at some point and was thought lost until she came back as two different people, Naestra and Arahan, during the Battle of Pine Crags in 1350 IC. They were the ones to kill Grungni Goldfinder the greedy adventurous Dwarf who led a Karak Norn expedition to Athel Loren. In 8th Edition they appear around the time that Ariel locks herself in the Oak as her representatives/heralds, which is around 1700-1800 IC.
I think Boney is likely to go with the more modern interpretation instead of Naestrahan, but I just thought this was worth noting. The Sisters of Twilight and Eltharion get some of the most significant lore overhauls that I can remember.

What is the difference between a spy, and a friend?
You don't have to pay your friends.
But more seriously, there is little difference between a spy, and a friend who is willing to confide in you.
So apart from EIC, MAthilde is leaving spy cells everywhere she goes, it's just that they are dormant ones she needs to individually activate when needed, instead of them passively drip feeding her information.

I like this except for you giving him T 4. Even elf Heracles (Khorhil captain of the white lions, strong enough to crush a druchii's spine and internal organs through their plate armour with a bear hug only has T3. The only elf with T 4 on the tabletop is malekith with his darth vader armour.

I really think we should use our next EIC action to actually give The Hochlander a actual shadowy headquarters. We got an option to put it in our old sunken palace and that fits very well.

Yeah we had a whole discussion on this. I personally think Korhil deserved T4, and GW's insistence on never giving any Elf other than Malekith higher than T3 is odd and most likely a balance decision. It's one of those things that I just can't grasp, like Shadowblade having WS10 a Weapon skill that no other mortal in 8th Edition has (Tyrion gets it in End Times. You can argue he isn't mortal by that point).
Also, Korhil has S4, same as any other Elf hero except for mages. You're telling me that there's no discernible difference in power between Tyrion and Korhil?

No there is. Each number on the stat sheet is a spectrum. To translate it into rpg stats Korhil would have str 49% compared to Tyrion's 44% or something. And gw is too consistent with giving elves a lower toughness ceiling mechanically (across all their game lines) and calling them out as reflectively frail in the lore for it to just be a balance descision. Certainly the average elf is pretty much as tough as a human but they have a lower ceiling for both str and toughness before they need supernatural assistance to go higher.

And I feel like Kadoh is that guy. I'm running under the impression that Kadoh is an Everqueen equivalent:
This might not be the case, but it is part of my speculation. I actually went easy on the statblock. I wanted to give him more so he would match up against the Everqueen powerwise but then I cooled down and decided that what I gave him was enough.
I might very well be wrong, I just hope you can understand why I made him the way I did.

- being near locations is my passion.
See, this is the sort of generosity and compassion from Settra that I don't think I've seen explored in fiction before.
Ngl, I thought he was a bit of a blowhard or was deeply insecure but this casts him a new light. What a lovely chap. That aside, someone should pobably should let him know that our cities aren't ruins but are just... shit (how embarrasing!)
If we do ask him I don't think a plain thank you would be enough tbh. We'd have to get him a card at the least and probably a gift basket too.
Edit: Oh! Is our modified gyrobomber ready/comfortable enought to pick up Anton + his dad for a holiday of a few weeks to K8P (and meet Pan), or would it be much better after the comfort runes are added?/Is having a dedicated pilot or not relevant for that journey?

It was my objection too
. But Elf super-beefcake having T4 is not too much of a stretch imo.

I also gave Johann S5 and T5 and I didn't see any objections to that. The only human in 8th Edition with base Strength 5 that I know of is from Tamurkhan, Lietpold the Black, who is also the only mundane human with WS7 that isn't Kurt Helborg.
I don't think the people making Tamurkhan cared that much about balance/narrative consistency.

Johann is more overt with his chiselfingers and transhumanism.
Something which no elf would consider doing
