Can someone help me with understanding our Father coin bit? Does this mean that Ranald has 5 facets now technically but because it's a secret and not worshipped he still gets to embody his Fourfold nature?

It's not entirely clear, but I think that the Father face of the coin is not a facet of Ranald in the same way as Ranald's four known facets. Also see the phrasing in the description of the coin:

Ranald's Coin: A somehow five-sided coin dedicated to the four known faces of Ranald, and to His relationship with His daughters.

which can be taken to mean that the fifth face of the coin is dedicated to a fact about Ranald (His relationship with His daughters) but not a facet as such. In any case it does seem to be secret and I doubt there are any priests of the Father like there are for the Night Prowler and the Gambler etc.

We have hints right to the possibility of their identities? Territories tinged or between Ranald's and Shallaya's.

If the territory theory of Panoramia's spare is close to the truth, a motive could be that there's overlap with a stronger deity that risks consuming them.

Depending on how planny Ranald's gift was, the cult could even be related to the waystone project. It seems appropriate at least, Doylist because the faith option prioritizes prior responsibilities and Watsonian that Ranald knows that it's gonna be Mathilde's goal for the forseeable future. An Ice witch can probably give a vague riddle or something too if you think about it.

Here is a summary I've written of the current theories. Here is a brief argument for the Haletha theory (part II is the relevant one). Of the available candidate, Halehta/Haleth and Hekarti are related to the waystone project. Also The Lady, I guess, if you think that's likely. We don't have a lot of hints (except for the clearly correct Haletha theory, I will literally cry if it turns out to be wrong I swear) but we are hopefully going to buy a book on minor empire Gods so we might know more soon.

Do we have a current inventory of which book categories are in the library?

Currently, we have Mathilde's library on her character sheet. The Great Library isn't quite far enough along in the process for us to have had to make decisions about "what is Mathilde's personal stuff" vs "what is the Library's." But for now, this rundown captures everything that we have direct personal access to, bookwise.

I'd like to learn more about Loec from the perspective of the Elves. Also, I've been keeping this in reserve, but there is a God of Dancing in Nordland from Tome of Salvation Page 82. His name is Loerk:

"Loerk, Lord of the Dance:

Nordlanders who develop warts on their feet are said to have received the Lord of the Dance's disfavour. Those opposed to dancing on general principle encourage these unsightly growths to expand by rubbing them with toads, and during big festivals, these men and women proudly sit with their shoeless feet propped up to show their disdain. Some whisper that these folks are in fact Artho-following Middenlanders."

In case you're curious about Artho, this is from page 81:

"Artho the Unmoving:

Celebrating tradition and the old ways, a few crusty old men and women keep stone idols of Artho on their person. This way, whenever they confront some development or change that they perceive threatens the moral fibre of Middenland, they yank out the idol to remind others of the values and customs Middenlanders ought to abide by—and if their protests fall on deaf ears, the idol serves as a useful club."

Someone had a lot of fun writing Tome of Salvation.
 
... Because @Boney called it the kvinn I am now imagening a Dwarven Ikea... You get flat packed stone furniture most which is over 2 tons. You get a manual with a longbeard grumbling you through the setup process... And you get goat balls and goat dogs in the food section.
 
So I was checking the wiki pages of the Supreme Patriarchs because as it turns out End Times replaced Gelt because of a convoluted set of circumstances that I won't repeat here with a completely new character that somehow gains a pivotal role in the story (Gregor Martak), and when I came over Volans' page I saw this image and I have to wonder where it comes from, because I don't remember seeing it in Realms of Sorcery:
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/w.../Volans.png/revision/latest?cb=20160204134747
Anyone have any idea where it comes from?

The link doesn't work unless your browser has it cached already. This is because the host has blocked outside links from using it. To get around that, after going to the link, click in your address bar and press Enter. That should reset the referer (sic) and let you see it.

I'm not in favor of blinging our ride when Mathilde doesn't yet know how to drive fly, and we also don't have a pilot either. Besides, Mathilde (and the thread) will have a much better idea of what kind of enhancements we want on the gyrocopter once she's actually able to take it to places outside the usual dwarf transportation routes.

-[X] Hekarti
-[X] Loec

Any chance I can convince any of you to go for Hoeth over Loec? Or at least to approval vote for it? Loec is nice to have and definitely on the shortlist, but I don't see why we want it specifically now instead of somewhere in the next three turns. But if I had to choose between Hekarti and Loec this turn and no Elven gods at all this turn I very much prefer Loec. Do you feel the same about Hoeth?

I'm not going to vote in favor of blinging out the Gyro before we have even decided who is going to pilot it.

We could always try using our transcendent boon from Vlag for that, since light runes are simple runes and Karag Vlag has literally thousands of Rhunkit. It might not go over well, since being willing to mass produce runes to survive literal Hell does not necessarily imply a willingness to mass produce runes in other circumstances, but if it does it could be pretty great. I love the idea getting a huge delegation of Karag Vlag dwarves to visit Karak Eight Peaks like some sort of NegaOkral.
