I agree, and furthermore argue that it should be the Nekeharan books.

Mostly because I want to write the Nekeharan Currency Books next turn and it would be narratively satisfying.

I can't help but think that the Cadaeth-Aksel-Totcher trio must think the others of the trio are fascinating, being a sort of alternative take on being highly attuned to forests and nature. Lots of notes-comparing, insights-sharing, and "what's it like for you?" going around, I'd guess.

Cadaeth is part forest-spirit. Aksel is soul-attuned to a goddess of a huge local forest. Totcher has part of her soul made of/transformed into the Jade wind of nature and life. That's a group whose members approach a forest from the perspective of the divine, the arcane, and the soul.

I fully agree with the sentiment but I'm obliged to point out that Aksel's a Hedgewise, and much as he may say it's a gift from Haletha, his type of magic has been claimed by several other groups as being a gift from different gods, from the seasons, the sky, and even 'none of your business'.

And IIRC Boney's said Hedgecraft doesn't give you Arcane Marks or any equivalents. So... I'm not sure you'd say he's soul-attuned to Haletha - or at least, not in the same way divine casters of gods are.

...I guess it's possible he could be a priest of Haletha and a Hedgewise, given that L.M. Krammovich can do Ulgu and Hedgecraft, but we're not too clear on how that works, so who knows.

Reading the Nehekharan books would be cool, because I want Mathilde to get more into the deep lore and magic behind it, but I'd rather she write up the papers on the Seviroscopes next. Coin papers and books can be an emergency stash of writing if she doesn't have anything else to write about.

A well made point Sir and/or Madam and/or neither.
But consider, if you will, this.

Funny haha baffling and unexpected publication subject/theme meme.

So really, my hands are tied here.

On the topic of Eike, I thinl that if you truly want to get her over prepared, then it might be a good idea to make her take greater risks, in a kind of journey under our tutelage. I fear that if she waits too long we might stunt her development.
 
I'm somewhat confused as to why Gotrek and Borek are credited for Linguistic Deviation in Southlands Lizardmen Runes and Polyphenic Theories of Lizardmen Society, could someone explain?

Hey @Boney , when are we going to get our pending Dwarf favour for the Rakilid book and the pending college favour for the Anti-Waagh lectures?

When something happens that allows their respective benefits to be fully demonstrated.

On another subject,is demonology still a thing in warhammer fantasy ?,i remember reading my father roleplay book of first edition warhammer and how they described demonologist as complet madman/fool for doing that,but i have never (or at least that i remember) seen them mentioned somewhere else .

It still exists, it's just shifted in vibes from naughty academia to cultist malarkey. Demonology was based on Faust, mystical alchemy, Goetia kind of vibes, and Warhammer Demons developed their own distinct vibe by 2e so that was largely left behind.

@Boney so can we get a social to see How Roswita is doing with bringing another Van Hal into the world, or would Mathilde being there be too awkward.

"Hi Roswita. How's the baby?"
"Fine, presumably."
"... Where's the baby?"
"That's classified."
"Good talk."

Mathilde didn't feel the need to credit the entire expedition she got the papers on, but Gotrek died on it and Borek loaned her the money to buy them.

...Should Gotrek and Borek be retroactively added to the Windfall and Golden Prosthetic Talon papers, then?

Edit: I guess Borek shouldn't be on the Windfall paper since he didn't fund that one.

Normally you don't add everybody who helped you unless they are helping in academic sense. For other people a thanks in the intro is common way to acknowladge them.

That is true today, but Warhammer is still in the 'opening pyramids with dynamite' days of academia (at the very least anyone messing with a pyramid wished they had dynamite :V ). I do not think there is much in the way of standardization.
 
Is it wrong that I am looking forward to when we will be needing a military operation for something, just to see what kind of insane army that Mathilde can throw together through her various contacts?

Like what kind of theoretical army could Mathilde throw together if she needed to?

We could try it and find out by going in for a big Forest of Shadows campaign. There's three whole Nexuses to be claimed there, and we're not taking them with three wizards and a wolf.

I'd want to get the Brettonians into the project first, if only so we can have the add some Knights to our forces. Plus more magical power is never a bad thing.

Off the top of my head; Lots of dwarfs, Knights on exotic mounts, wizards, and some big heroes depending on what they're fighting and if she can get someone to front the capital to pay Asarnil (as Mathilde doesn't really keep enough liquid assets around for that sort of thing).

Depending on where we are having the Campaign we could likely get Middenland to support us. At the very least they can get some Ulrican fanatics to act as the frontline troops.

Similarly the Winged Hassars might be something we can get from Boris. Since they canonically act as mercenaries when not being used by Kislev itself, so I can imagine that Boris can tell them to help us without too much in the way of political issues.

As much as I want to get Bretonnia involved with the project, I'm not sure how useful they would be in a Forest of Shadows campaign. The only forest they have any familiarity with is Athel Loren, and the Forest of Shadows is sufficiently different enough that Drycha had difficulty operating in it. I'm not sure how knights will do at all.

And for magical power, damsels are cool and all, but maybe empire battle wizards would be better suited for it?

Bretonnia is in fact home to forests of it's own. The Forest of Arden is as dangerous and as dense as any forest in the Empire- it's said that there are villages in Artois so isolated that they don't know that Bretonnia is a thing.
