Sidenote, it always seemed strange to me that the Asp eats Ulgu. From the description of hunting artists, I'd have guessed Azyr and Hysh.

Art loves ambiguity and things that resemble other things. Furthermore, a great deal of art is, fundamentally, lying in a way that is also telling the truth. Art is super Ulgu.

Does anyone remember the reference where we found out how long we'd need to know Kragg to find out how he felt about us in the character sheet?

Ok, I give up. We have met him. Worked with him. Interacted with him. Even spent a social action on him.
@BoneyM How do we get Kragg's Dramatis Personae entry?

When you've known him for at least 1% of his lifespan.

He's, what, 1400 years old? We're getting there, but still a few years to go.

Thanks for this, I spent a while looking also!

1650 ish, I believe.

So that's 16.5 * 2 = 33 turns. We met him in turn 19, so that's Turn 52 (or maybe 53). So still about 10 turns away.

EDIT: he's just under 1600. So only 9 turns away.

Also the 1% is a minimum not a guarantee.

We took 2 karaks, I think we get along about as well as a manling can.

There was that comment Boney made that was brought up recently about how to gain his respect that I'm forgetting. Pretty sure it got gilded, but IDK how to search for a gilded post.

It's a very long time when you think about it. Think about all that AP he's had. Think how much Mathilde could have done with same amount of AP

Assuming Kragg quest started when he was 30 years old (dwarf coming of age), he's had 18816 AP.

Mathilde has had 252 AP.

Ag 30 years old he'd barely be an Apprentice.

It takes a really long time to train a Runesmith and even more so for one to become a Runelord.

Then there's the constant keep Anvils up and running grind.

Kragg has still had way more AP than Mathilde but considerably less so than what his age might indicate at first glance.
 
Okay, I'm taking numbers from Kraggs wiki page, but they don't seem to be adding up? Or I'm adding them up wrongly.

"Kragg the Grimm reached his 1,620th year in 2512 IC". It's currently 2490 in quest, which is a gap of 22 years, so he's 1598.

Kragg forged his first rune, a Rune of Stone, in 892 IC.

2490-1598=892

2512-1620=892

Kragg forged his first rune the year he was born?

Kragg's age comes from Stone and Steel 1e, his first rune comes from Warhammer Armies: Dwarves 4th edition.

Kragg was a talented youth. :V
 
And now we know why Kragg has such a hard time finding apprentices.

Already out of diapers and not a single rune made, what is wrong with the beardlings of today?
- Kragg, maybe

Now I'm (creatively re)interpreting this as Kragg all but instinctively aiding the performance of the Rites of Valaya on himself as an infant and being credited with the craft of a rune as a result.

Since the rites seems deeply tied to runecraft and is a form of the practice an infant would be exposed to, it seems like the sort of thing that could maybe happen. Particularly as a once in a thousand year accident.

Okay, but here me out: we could speedrun the Kragg Dramatis Personae: all we got to do is give time a good kick in the nads then skip forward half a decade while it isn't looking.
