Huh. Why do those feel needles? Some times trying to learn a skill just doesn't work out the way one hopes it would, especially if one only invests a month's worth of time. Rolls here don't only reflect Mathilde's skill, they also reflect chance circumstances.
I see her in the equivalent of the vague and broad "producer" role in media projects. She takes care that everyone else has what they need and do what they are supposed to, in the broader sense, while also giving important input about the Project's direction and priorities and dealing with the financers and patrons. She also has an extra interest in being up to date with the latest research results and has a say when it comes to which broad area to look into next, both conceptually and geographically. But she won't be the lead researcher in any of the subjects of interest and she won't be anyone's assistant either, except in very particular cases where an Ulgu Wizard with her particular skills is exactly what's needed. At least up until Windherding happens to be super relevant.
Johann and Max speak Khazalid and will participate in the main project at the very least as Mathilde's and Egrimm's official assistants. Practically more Mathilde's and with both of them contributing their personal talents.
The Cults of the Empire are traditionally mystery cults. They don't even share relatively basic theological theories or foundational cosmology with their lay parishioners. Wizards are similar, but for them it's more a mix of profitable Guild secrets and an imperative to keep magical knowledge out of the hand of non-mages and illegal mages. For the Cults it seem like a millennia old religious commandment.
*Heavy metal intensifies*This one isn't relevant to Divided Loyalties, I just wanted to post it because of how surprisingly hard the Empire goes when it makes battering rams. Like damn.
This may just be because I have been watching too many Total War Warhammer 3 LP's lately, but what about the Cult of Ursun?
This is before Boris revived the cult.
True, but there are still priests of Ursun around. Boris offered us some when we were considering basing ourselves in Kislev.
He said "Ursun knows me", implying he could leverage the Cult, but he also stated later on in the Ostermark mini arc that all the "true servants of the Bear" died off in the Great War against Chaos, and only cowards remain.
Here's some Boney quotes on how they're doing:
This is really cool thanks. I will say the maps are pretty low quality. They look more like first drafts for a map rather than anything really useable, but still, they're neat.Someone recently made a Mega folder full of Age of Reckoning art - including a lot of concept art - that was on the AoR website before it went down. Even has maps of individual elven kingdoms. The art was all publicly accessible and the Mega folder has been given the legal thumbs up by a GW affiliate, so no copyright issues or anything with it existing or downloading it. Here it is. In addition, I wanted to post a few pictures from there.
This looks like something Gotri might end up making. Seems to be powered by booze. We also have official confirmation that Warhammer squirrels have SAM launchers.

Ulric's also the god who brings in Winter, which can put off people who have to bear through it.
Bear like Ursun?
*gets punched for terrible puns*
And the fact that his clergy aren't always the best at presenting themselves, hence the Defenestration of Praag. Not sure if it's happened in this timeline, but still.
I'd assume not. I'd guess that happens in the 2500s and thus may not occur in quest-time at all.
This quest does have a lot of discussion, but it's hard to say by how much more than other long-runners, because I think part of the reason we get so many pages is that a lot of other quests have Discords, so all the side tangents and random QM questions get sent off to there instead of the main thread. (Waking up to the absolute nightmare that is 900+ messages in one channel is quite something)
That's why I prefer for the discussion to occur here instead of discord, it's much easier to follow everything.
This is the greatest reward, more than even gold.
There are advantages and disadvantages to a Discord. On one hand, Discord is a much better platform for just chatting and have conversations, hanging out with other people and having a good time. On the other, it is not the place for in depth discussion and going over the chat can be a nightmare after the fact.
Oh, the Waystone Project members list updated.
Eehh, it concisely communicated half of the main appeal, which is that the average joe isn't going to care too much about the elf gang signs (and less obviously, it was the ideal compromise for getting the Magical Theorist).
