How can the Asur cave (or not) when they're not, institutionally, the ones in charge?
They can no more force Caledor to listen to us than we can.
Also, I suspect that the Kislevite and possibly dwarven segregated sub-networks don't actually drain magic from the world. They may well just change its form, but don't stop the overall magic level from rising, which is what's needed to stop the world drowning in magic.

Whaaaat, that pirate was completely unaffiliated with Marienburg! Sure, he spends a lot of time here and we've paid for his services as a privateer for years, but we'd *never* stoop to base piracy against our beloved cousins in the Empire!

Then you won't have trouble handing over their heads, won't you?
Oh, well, if we find him, sure. It can take so long to track down these sailors and then there's all the bureaucracy, you know?

The opportunity to steal Marienburg's fleet without even having to muck around in Marienburg is certainly a plus side for Project Company Town. Maybe after a research sabbatical.

Kislevite one is manually managed by Ancient Widow while Dwarven one uses it power to Runes of Valay that keep Karaks safe and probably spends power untill its gone back to warp since if it didn't rune of eternity would last forever without the waystones which it doesn't.

to be fair, its currently not that in the other continuity either.

Do you think caledor knows or cares about stuff going on on the outside? Because i personally doubt it. This elf has offered Hsi existence to protect the world and that's what he doing.
What he is not doing is checking every incoming call if it's a friendly or a not friendly. He has people for that. He trusts the elf's to understand that they need the network to function so he gave them the codes to authorize expansion or destruction. If you could have a full talk with caledor you might convince him that you also should have those codes... But we can't talk to him and the elf's definitely have the codes because they do reconnect waystones.
Well, most of the walls are still there
Hold on. If there are indeed special codes, shouldn't the Grey Lords, being Golden age Archmagi, know them as well?

The question that gets into is, "Does using magic (for spells and such) use up that magic the same as if it was shunted out with the Vortex, or is it just converted into a different form of magic that still contributes to daemon manifestation?"
In theory, if it's the first, then the function of the Vortex could be replaced by a sufficiently high wizards/m^2. Or magical infrastructure.
I'm thinking that after the malekith thing, the elves kinda changed their passwords... Or the grey lord's just never were in those specific cycles. Who knows.

The key thing is the Grey Lords were exiled Golden Age Archmagi. There's ways to magically remove memories in Warhammer, so it might be that Ulthuan didn't feel like taking chances that the folks who decided to try and enslave Ulthuan's oldest allies wouldn't also try to screw around with the Waystones 'in an hour of greatest need'.

I think the Dragon enslavement isn't a thing here, because Boney didn't know to read Brunner the Bounty Hunter.
-√π parallel universes ago, why?When was the last time you changed your password?

It has been answered Sartoi said you need to spend the Dhar as well and I think and the dwarven answer was even Kragg couldn't make runes fast enough to spend 1/10 of Altdorf if he were to spend rest of his likfe doing it. Rune of Eternity on the other hand is made by Ancestor Gods so it is capable of spending all that power while Ancient Widow is a godess.

Sufficiently high might be in the realm of 1 wizard/m^2 over the entire world.
I'm not saying it's actually feasible.
We don't actually know how much the rune of eternity consumes. We know it's a lot. And that it's enough to cover all karaks... But i seriously doubt it comes close to the gigantic magic strudel that's vacuuming up the juju.

Enough that without K8P, Vlag and Dum there was a deficit.

IT has flex room in that the more power there is more mega projects the Throne can activate and spend the power. And perhaps they can even add more megaprojects in the future to spend more untill it can replace the Vortex. Altough maybe not.
True, though how much difference there is between "fully operational" and "fully topped up" is hard to say.
(Also i will say that vlag alone probably would have been able to restore the rune of eternity just through its location and the location of waystones up the chain. Their suuuuper northern and sipping energy directly from the chaos wastes is probably enough to power lots of shit.)

I mean, he canonically talked to Morathi once. It was entirely to threaten her about her really dumb plan, but he's theoretically capable.
I doubt the Rune of Eternity uses much. It's a distribution and monitoring system, rather than a power hog. The other projects it's linked to seem to be what was actively draining the power.
