I think Time is rather more scared of Kragg's disapproval than our ability to kick it in the temporal nuts. Plus Melkoth already pulled that trick to confuse it, it'll be on the watch for Grey Wizards now sadly.

Finally, a sound reason to develop our time-travel spell,
and with its invention, open the timeline to those (thus-far apparently absent) homicidal time-travelling students.
skip backwards half a decade, quietly nest somewhere the 'real' M.Grey would never be seen dead in (Marienburg?) and spend a comfortable while sitting on the beach sipping schnapps and getting the AP backlog out of the way.
Wow, L.M. Mathilde, where did you ever find the time to write all these books?
I went on a hunt to see if Boney has banned time travel, and unfortunately
he has.
However, I did find something else of interest:
he has.

This is very true. He still might enjoy the trip for self development in such a big port, but on the other hand if he wants to make it he can ask us to come along.
Eike is probably more capable than any of us at surviving in the wilderness or a WHF port city.
Was reading through word of QM, and this recontextualizes the Beatified option we had. Not only would we have been a saint of Ranald, but we would have been one so significant that word of us would spread beyond insular communities.
I'm glad we decided on the Waystone project, but damn it would have been amazing to be Ranald's high priest.
Sounds like a good opportunity to see how swamp town is doing.
Is the Frozen Throne of Ulric quest original? If not, what's the source?

There's the Winter Throne in Tome of Salvation, page 70.
Ulricsson Haargald, the order's current leader, is a greying giant of a Norseman who, it is said, has not spoken for over thirty years, and consumes only melted snow.
Wow... that sounds like the most worthless leader imaginable, you could literally replace him with a snow carving and he would be just as useful.

Do dwarves do birthday parties? I'm guessing they do something like it because of the importance of age to them, but is it a big celebration with gifts and food and such?

Grudgelore says that there is a celebration when a Dwarf reaches Longbeard, though it says that it's not measured by strict age but rather by if their beard touches the floor when they are standing straight.
2 Karaks so far.
Maybe he's learned to communicate like an old dwarf, in disapproving glares and low wordless glacial grumbling.Wow... that sounds like the most worthless leader imaginable, you could literally replace him with a snow carving and he would be just as useful.

Folks interested in time travel may also be interested in @kingreaper's recursive fan-quest, The Broken Mirror.
Could be both, Cathayan magic is weird like that.

Likely not in this case:
If we want cat apparitions we could just capture Dark Hounds like the Golds and give them a cat shaped binding. We already have notes on how to bind and train Dark Hounds, though the instructions are for Chamon. Binding more Riders is probably a better use of our time and limited Apparition slots than making a second spell though. I am hoping that since the binding went well we have room for plenty of apparitions. That could be something Ranald helps make sure goes well, if he isn't boosting the interaction with the Dämmerlichtreiter legend.
Hey Boney, how much has Mathilde's accomplishments shifted the general consensus among the Karaz Ankor towards the idea that when it comes to Umgi/Elgi magic, specifically Ulgu magic, or as it is more likely known as by the average Dawi, "Whatever the fuck Mathilde uses" magic = best magic?
Sure folks like Kragg or Belegar would know that each wind has it's own strengths and weaknesses, but I'd imagine the average dawi would not be nearly so knowledgeable.

Missed a lot of the discussion around apparition form. What is the difference between [] [RIDER] The Dämmerlichtreiter, and [] [RIDER] Mathilde on a Shadowsteed? I didn't think the legend had diverged enough for there to be a meaningful difference between the two.

Mathilde on a steed is basically a full looking clone of Mathilde, the Dammerlich is basically a recreaction of the little wooden figurine stirland peasents sold, which means hat, and gear sorta accurate but a general non-describt face.

The former is a more generic figure shrouded in fog and shadow, while the latter is a copy of Mathilde.

Mathilde on a Shadowsteed looks like Mathilde, the person, including her face. The Dämmerlichtreiter looks like the wooden figurine that Stirlandian locals are selling as charms, with less detailed features and an indistinct face but identifiable through the hat, robes, and steed.

The former is a different height and has a visible but indistinct face; the latter is a direct and exact copy of Mathilde herself.

I doubt the average dwarf knows anything about the different kinds of wizards. Even aside from that, the dwarves are very focused on craftsmanship. I suspect they wouldn't attribute anything to kind of magic Mathilde wields, especially since they very much distrust it. Instead I'm sure they believe that Mathilde is the one making it great.
