They have that pencilled in on the tentative campaign calendar for a decade or two from now. Part of that briefing may have been a desperately unspoken plea not to throw everything into chaos just this minute if you would be so kind.
Man, I always love these little bits about Mathilde's reputation. Like, yeah, she's well-known and the dwarves love and respect her, but they really don't want to deserve her full attention, because that generally means things have gone horribly wrong.
Good to see. Slow and cautious they might be, but Dawi progress ceaselessly.
Destiny finds a way I suppose.
You will hand over that expositional worldbuilding or we will seriously fantasise about dragging it from your undead corpse!
It occurs to me that this particular division of loyalty has never actually been tested. I have to wonder if Mathilde would find herself far more reluctant to break her sword word than might be expected of a Grey Wizard.
Well.

I think that was one of the origin theories for the 40k Emperor? I vote we invest in an godlike comfortable chair before embarking on that journey.
Give Borek his cash. We have held on to it for so long. It's so much the proper thing to do that it's almost the answer to a joke. I don't know how the set up would go, but this would almost feel like a punch line.
It's actually interesting, because I could very much see Mathilde not mentioning it if she was still in her early-quest mindset. Back when she was embezzling, unwillingly supporting an evil conspiracy, etc. Just goes to show how much she's changed over the years.
This actually sounds really cool.
This is probably the ghost of an Old One. No touchy.
Khsar might not have been the only one to join the Nehekharan pantheon.
"Another" prison is probably a comparison to the dwarves' enslavement in the Southlands. Might be the origin of humans, or of another Old One-developed race.
