I mean, there's almost certainly many dragons in Caledor without a rider.
iirc, I asked Boney if we had to mention to the Gold College that one of the Skaven artefacts was a Brass Orb when they bought the lot from us.
The gift that keeps on giving.
That's Imrik's entire long-term goal, isn't it?
I'm late on this because I was sleeping, but when this was brought up back in December, Boney said Arcane Marks wouldn't be a problem for purposes of not exploding into more Winds, because there's still plenty of parts in Mathilde's soul that aren't Ulgu. It'd only be impossible if she got every single common Arcane Mark and I think also a few custom ones he'd have to come up with.
Well, now I wish I'd gone over those posts a lot more than I did. That answers those questions.
I'm not so sure that Hedge Craft is actually just using Earthbound magic, as Boney pointed out when the narrative first described non-Teclisian magic that explanation is kind of a way to explain away something the Colleges don't understand and it doesn't entirely work as an explanation.
That doesn't really sound like what I would except an Earthbound spell to feel like, Earthbound energies shouldn't feel unfamiliar to Mathilde (right?) and the spell itself seemed a bit too high powered for what Earthbound magic should be able to achieve.
While it's not very canonical, the Prince of Altdorf tie-in short story to Total War Warhammer touches on the topic. When it looks like Boris Todbringer is going to win the election, Kurt Helborg says that the Reiksguard are loyal to Reikland and the Holswig-Schliestein dynasty above all, but Karl Franz rebukes him and tells him that if Boris is crowned Emperor Reiksguard should follow him and relocate to Middenheim.
It's also mentioned in Tamurkhan: Thrones of Chaos, where she originally appeared.
It's not directly from canon but there are hints in canon that could be extrapolated into something like Deathfang's story.
Caledorians send their children they think can ride dragons to the White Tower, their actual write-up never comes out and says it but that's the only way the Dragon Mages makes sense.
Seeing this quote posted by mathymancer... This is a bit of a longshot, but could Hedgecraft be related to the unknown force that divides the Winds? The whatever-it-is that imposed reality upon Mathilde's accidental mini-Liminal Realm? The energies would seem familiar because boundaries and division is similar to Ulgu. And it would seem distant and hidden because, well, that unknown force is.
I see no reason not to put everyone on it. Figure who has anything to contribute, and then winnow it down to specific people on the follow-up actions.
not only is it one where getting as many perspectives as possible on it will be useful, but putting everyone on it also means we only need one AP to keep everyone satisfied for that turn, so we can do actions that only take a single other member like visiting a nexus with Thorek or Askel, or recruiting Bretonnia.
Ok but if we have figured out the base we don't need them anymore. I do want to involve them before we make them totally redundant because otherwise you have bretonnia as the outsider who wasn't involved.
Sorry, what mug? I was too busy staring at your "Asur da Best!" t-shirt.
Ah good, everyone has forgotten that I simp infinitely more for Bretonnia than the ElvesSorry, what mug? I was too busy staring at your "Asur da Best!" t-shirt.
Even if we manage to get a working Waystone together, there will be room for improvement. We should get it to the point where they're offering concessions to us to have the privilege of joining.
When we have a working prototype it's almost useless to include them aside from "here join so that we can fleeze you for everything that it's worth."
