Dull to read about and dull to actually be in are two different things. Vacation stories and photos are famously boring for everyone but the people who did them. I'm sure Eike would be able to find plenty of things to do and different cuisines to try that wouldn't make for an interesting story.
The best part is that even with the Actual Waystone Leyline Passcodes, the Mk 1. B.O.R. still has a pretty strong use case. For riverine areas that you need to clean the Dhar or EBM out of, but you don't want to plop down the more expensive Jade Tributaries (much less the other options). It's a phenomenal triage tool, and exceptionally movable.
Sarriel is identified as a god of dreams by Tome of Salvation. However, he is identified as a demigod and originally an elf by Archives of the Empire - Vol I, which is from WFRP 4e. He is also noted for being a seer in 4e. He has a very interestingly amount of overlap with Morai-Heg and Morr.
They were by all accounts direct students of the Old Ones. With all that implies.
Ha! Another ancient master humbled by elegant simplicity.
Eltharion is well acquainted with just how much the Asur have lost. Their lands. Their fellows in the colonies. Their allies of the mountains.
Put those notes firmly in the 'important, but not currently relevant' draw.
There are none others like Eltharion, not amongst the Asur. But his influence should keep the worst of the meddlers at bay.
Your annual reminder that this is very much a deathworld and hostile armies are far from the only dangers a traveller would face.
The equal of a royal wedding. And rather more than showed up for the Tzar's coronation, although that is presumably just a matter of internal vs international nature of the events.
Long ago a significantly younger Wilhelmina gave a long searching look at the untested and inherently suspicious journeyman wizard asking for money and decided to extend a bit of trust. In the time since that trust has been repaid a thousand fold.
I sometimes wonder if Mathilde is aware of her chronic dwarf-itis. Grey wizards are taught introspection and to be paranoid about their own thoughts. Could be that she knows and approves, but considers it impolite to acknowledge even in her own head.
Despite every effort to the contrary. She could have been a mover and shaker when she was spymaster. After leaving she has consistently if not deliberately taken jobs that keep her out of mainstream politics. But it seems her achevments have finally outpaced her elusiveness.
Mathilde: "I've tricked Ulthuan and the Karaz Ankor into working together again for their mutual benefit, because Ranald will find it amusing."
The Shyish might be the ghost of his father.
My understanding based on your earlier words I quoted was that it would be a completely separate avenue of actions, separate from AV and separate from waystones. Starting with Mathilde comissioning some runesmiths or apprentices to delve into archives, which is not tied to anything else and doesn't actually require powerstones / orbs of magic on hand. And then, if the search would turn up something, comissioning and collaborating for further research and if possible, making works with runesmithed powerstones / orbs of magic, which would need powerstones / orbs of magic but is not tied to any extant research. Depending on how the initial search would turn out, it could be then tied to WEB-MAT or could be still just Mathilde's personal favours / commisions to the Dwarves.
It'll be fun trying to teach it to Johann.
Many attempts at explaining the pronunciation of the inaudible later.
Johann does actually speak Elf now, though.
I thought of that. Moranion is mentioned to be a great mage who has experience with waystones. During the Great War against Chaos he used waystones to summon storms that destroyed ships from Naggaroth and Norsca. I would have just kept on assuming that until I saw Eltharion's interest in Lord Sarriel. Moranion's ghost was mentioned to vanish and I'm not aware of anything to suggest he stuck around. The Talisman of Hoeth is gives the bearer a portion of the original warden's knowledge. I think it's the best fit.
We haven't, though I imagine that'd have a different name. Boney once mentioned that books on 'herbalism' would be split between Flora of the Reik Basin and Medicine; so I'd imagine Flora as an overall topic is far too broad and all-encompassing.
Or that recognising a state as independent and waiving land claims are different. One says "these people aren't rebels to be killed for their treachery" the other says "they aren't occupying our stuff, so we can't invade to get that stuff back". The Empire and Bretonnia recognise each other as independent for example, but IIRC, have fought wars over territorial claims. I want to say that the Parravon Wars were about that in fact, but am not sure.
I figured he might. But he's still not given to fancy wordsmithin' like Mathilde. But I still don't think he speaks Lingua Praestantia, though? All the same, I guess it does weaken the joke about our himbro bestie somewhat.
At least one of them was because the Elector Count of Averland of the time allegedly said something remarkably unkind about the Duke of Parravon's wife.
Better than the Elven sailors and mist-mages who've tried for millennia as a matter of pride?
I think that was Marius Leitdorf.
