I've discovered a truly marvelous spell of summoning his spirit to ask, which margin of this quest thread is too narrow to contain.

it is a testament to the resurgence of the Karaz Ankor that the idea of such closely interlinked clans living on opposite ends of it is no longer an absurd idea.
also Kas is cool, would be pleased to see more of them in the future

Well, you need one for the first, and it's probably a good idea to have one verify some every now and then. But one of the advantages of having a mechanical solution is that you can tune the second based on the first. Or the first ten, for safety, but you don't actually need a wizard to make them anymore.
Which order is Kas from? It wasn't clear in the update—I'm guessing Grey?
Unrelated to the current discussion, but i was thinking.
The Dwarfs don't allow the Empire to reverse engineer their crossbows and guns, right?
But what if we stole Dwarfish firearms from the Chaos Dwarfs? They wouldn't have any problem with that, right?

Yes. I didn't realize I hadn't specified.
I can think of a few problems they might have with that, but it wouldn't be considered a breach of Guild secrets.

We sort of already did that—a lot of the Skaven firearms we studied had been originally reverse engineered from dwarven weapons.

How can i not?
What about going from "quiet noise" to "loud noise"?
Going from quiet to loud is the same as going from silence to noise.

If he did get a Chaos-i-gram, it probably said we were a candidate whilst also informing him of his own candidacy. I wonder what they claimed Mathilde's motivation for taking the world's shittiest job was? We're pretty happy with where we are in life.
Having relatively recently reread some of that, I'm pretty sure the dwarves are explicitly fine with reverse-engineering skaven technology. With the chaos dwarves, maybe they'd be upset because their knowledge is extremely obviously and directly taken from the Karaz Ankor, even if they can't reasonably try to claim it'd be infringing on guild secrets to steal it from them?
Or maybe it's just that an awful lot of chaos dwarf smithing is inextricably tied up in daemonsmithing.

EDIT: Thanks
I would like to do pipes but I forgot to consider the enchantment, it would have to be able to be repaired without effecting the enchantment and I can't see a pipe or flute able to do that as it's very much a one item deal.
@DragonParadox
as far as who would want it and having to evict the local inhabitants you are of course correct. But consider this, near everyone is trying to get the Asrai to the table and make them stop going on a rampage every spring.
"Hey instead of sending that warhost at us, why don't you throw yourself into reclaiming an ancient holy site?" All of a sudden they need to be able to conserve their strength to get there and negotiate (I don't see them being ok with it being owned by Greenskins) to get there. Then if they succeed they have to be able to support a outpost there in a hostile forest. That requires support.
If they don't succeed all of a sudden they have to negotiate to get help on reclaiming it, again bringing them to the table. It's an issue that is not immediately solvable or one that should be focused on at this point, but it is an option. One more arrow for the quiver as it were.
Also it does raise an interesting thought about Athel Loren. What do they do with the magical energy? How would they respond if some of it started going somewhere else instead of them?
