Carve twice is repetitive.
That'd be Lancer then. Which fits, they have terrible luck IIRC.

The underlined should be Vladimir, in terms of substance I broadly agree. the act itself was grave no matter who one does it to.

Fixed, thanks.
Ranald stole it all for Mathilde sadly.
Better question, did Abelhelm have any regrets or wishes? 1-3 star ruler might be on the table.
Mathilde and the Grey Order wiped the slate pretty clean and it was Rose's decision that stagnated the last bits.
I'll give a 3 star saber/rider a la Jason though. He ended with a decent crew that could have been legendary had it gone better with how it turned out

Rather fitting for a Grey Magister advisor, when you think about it. That she has this effect in spite of her general good cheer is just Ulgu things.
Everyone else: Complicated, flawed, and expensive solutions.

Obviously that is a bad idea, but I know who I'd be having Mathilde heckle from the sidelines.
Ljiljana is a well-seasoned and very skilled Ice Witch, but Niedzwenka is an ancient horror that inflicted itself upon an entire city for centuries and it only stopped because the lines between its original people and its hated foe became too blurred for its vengeance to still ring true. She's like if Melkhior got bored of doing Vampire things in the Forest of Shadows and started showing up to journal clubs in Altdorf.

His wish was that he wanted his children to be free from his duty, so I'd say he has regrets.
(Pickle, do you know where that Boney post is about Abelhelm's plans for after the campaign?)

Exactly.
"Baba Niedswenka, what was it that has stopped your crusade against Erengrad? What spares out children from your wrath?"
"Too much Ungol blood in you. There is no longer enough pure Gospodar that I can hurt at will without harming Ungol. No longer any point, without that."

This quest has had some really interesting pivots in directions at time. While you could see the logical line between reclaim Sylvania, and Rebuild waystone network for Dhar purification, all the things that happened in between would very much not follow that line of thought. It's one of the really cool parts of quests i think. The way both rolls and several quester interactions makes a narrative you wouldn't really see in a normal written story by a single person.

This reminds me a comic series where King Arthur gets resurrected by a bunch of British Nationalists, but he immediately kills them because they have Norman blood - they weren't Anglo Saxon enough

While real peoples lives can have "arcs" when viewed from a little distance, they rarely if ever have the traditional three-act structure of a written work. Quests work well at emulating that.

King Arthur was a Briton, he'd kill them for having Anglo-Saxon blood.

When you manage to loop back around to being double wrong
Arthur would probably not like Normans, but he would like Saxons even less if you're gonna go down that route
My big problem with doing one is that I don't think we know enough to write one that accurately reflects him.

Geographically? Karak Izor and all its allied holds.No, what we are going to need is enough dwarf miners for 27 km of tunnels and Switzerland. Huh, what would be an equivalent in whfb?
I suppose it would probably need to make a lot of assumptions about his time as a witch hunter. It'd be kind of hilarious if he had an ability to summon versions of his companions from life, so Servant Mathilde has to fight an Abelhelm with a copy of her working for him lol.

Yeah, i think the quote by Mark Twain(according to google), kinda summarize it in a good way "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't."
All stories you read have to kinda follow this one truth. It has to be believeable. But a quest, with dice rolls? It absolutly doesn't care about what's "realistic" or not, just like real life. Which means you get incredible scenarios that in an ordinary book would make you stop because that's way too ridiculous.
Abelheim dies in the final charge to save Sylvania? Yeah, that's what the dice says. Anton finds a giant dragonlord, yeah so sayeth the dice. Mathilde manages to swipe away Mork's coin reserves, it's what the dice says. Making a narrative out of that, when you are a good writing can make for a very compelling story. I think, it's absolutly one of the greater benefits of a quest format.
There's been so many possibiltiies we've seen and missed out on, as result of the dice. Ranald, god of dice and luck being the patron of Mathilde, is perhaps the most fitting option for what kind of story this is.

At first glance it's a funny thing to have for a graduation test for every Grey Journeywoman.
Then you remember that the College got outlawed once during at least some Wizard's lifetimes and it becomes something of a pointed statement of the Grey's towards the Emperor.

The Emperor does have at least one advantage over Vladimir- the Silver Seal is a quite good protective talisman.

I'm not too clear on whether we're still trying to make tributaries work in Kislev this turn or not. The assassination went smoothly enough that perhaps there's enough time to talk with Boris and have him approve the tributaries gang gathering the ice witches, some priests and as many hag witches as can be found to spread them as far as possible.
But perhaps not.
That may have been part of where Boney got the quest-canon version of events.
But perhaps not.
Realm of the Ice Queen vaguely says (in the section regarding miscasts for Ice Witches) that Ice Witch magic has been already "cleansed" by the Ancient Widow's cold heart, which is why they have a different miscast table to wizards and priests. It also specifies that the main duty of the ice witches is protecting their Ice Magic, which courses through the land via the leylines, which consists not just of Oghams but also elven ruins and Scythian or Belthani sites. This is consistent with the claims that the Ancient Widow either is the spirit of the land of Kislev itself, or was trapped there by the Dark Gods.
That may have been part of where Boney got the quest-canon version of events.
