You know thinking about it, after we inform the Grey College about the whole Skaven Civil war it makes sense that they would inform every Order aligned group with a beef against the Skaven. Seriously this is probably the weakest the Skaven as a whole are going to be in a long time, so we might as well take advantage of it.
I hope we tell the Karaz Ankor as well.
 
That is not true. Abelheim died fighting the undead of Sylvania, which only exist because the forces of the Horned Rat tried to invade the Empire. Ranald, by contrast, has done absolutely nothing to help the Abelheim situation, but he didn't contribute to the events leading up to it.
I was going to give you an Insightful, but then you made the outrageous claim that Ranald had nothing to do with random chance taking Abel down.
 
And of course our perfectly reasonable MAP spell got renamed to Multidimensional Aethyric Polysevirric Projection by some Bright jerk.

Bright Wizards!!! *shakesfist*
Well, it wouldn't be Warhammer if somebody didn't stick an extraneous letter somewhere in there.
A second grey mage would also have the advantage that they could mindhole with impunity and try different techniques, without too much setback on our work.
He'd still probably remember what we were doing with him, though; mindhole only works on single individuals. If he started losing time like that, even though he's got a clear indicator of it (with the outside light), it sounds like something he'd notice.

THEY DID WHAT!? that's a grudge right there.

[] Ask Belegar if we can borrow his copy of the Dammaz Kron.

I was more thinking getting a bonus on the dice or equivalent but that too.

It could also be Tzeench.

He'd remember his interactions with us, but not with the other interrogator. And losing half an hour from yesterday (if we arrange for the mindhole to happen while he sleeps) is never going to be noticeable.

Nice omakes. Too bad they're non canon. Still nice to see this character's possible views on the campaign. We have too many interesting folks around us and we arent even giving them the courtesy of interacting with them (though I havent really voted for them as well). BonyM is just too good at offering a feast and limiting the choices.

Mathilde's Mystical Matrix: A means of holding a spell in stasis inside a living creature. It is limited in that it can only contain spells that would normally be cast on someone else, and can't be used on Wizards or magical creatures, but it takes only an hour to set up and requires no instruments or ingredients. It was adapted from a similar mechanism used by Sylvanian necromancers to work with Ulgu instead; currently the Amber and Jade Orders are working on adapting it to their Winds.

Mathilde's Multidimensional Aethyric Projection: The 'MAP' provides a visual medium for depicting any low-resolution two or three dimensional shape the caster can picture. Long-lasting, easy to sustain, able to be edited on the fly, and simple enough that it is likely to be convertible into other Winds.

Aethyric Vitae: When the energy of the warp goes straight from the unreality of the Warp to an area where reality is largely uncompromised, instead of disintegrating into the Winds it condenses into a liquid. It can be converted to more conventional energies with the exposure of any of the Winds to break it into large and equal amounts of all eight Winds, or can be converted entirely into Dhar by exposure to Morrsleib or Warpstone. Currently, the only known source is a Wisdom's Asp caught inside a mirror-trap box under unknown but very unlikely circumstances.

Yellow is moved/categorized, red is actual changes. We gained *11* college favour, from some combination of 'coauthor on the paper making MAP into MAPP and thus lesser magic', 'favours from introducing a new lesser magic', and any immediate skaven report gains, so thats super nice! Pays for algard's work last turn and the enchantment training!

Edit: Also, its just super awesome for our instinctive spell work to have lead to a new lesser magic, given how few there are! Its likely not going to rival aethyric armor or the like for 'you must have this if you want to journey safely in the long run', but it'll likely become standard for classroom diagrams and for any wizards going into military strategy or even civil planning style jobs

Seriously this is probably the weakest the Skaven as a whole are going to be in a long time, so we might as well take advantage of it.

From the looks of things so far, Bretonnia is making a full-blown assault on the two major Skaven concentrations in their land (Black Chasm is near Bastonne.) They're both heavily occupied by Pestilens, so they can probably make these major moves without much risk of blowback.

The Empire looks like it's being more cautious for now. Ubersreik was hit by Clan Fester, another Pestilens Thrall Clan and I believe one of the mentioned Traitor Clans. Under-Nuln is noted to be a fairly small Skaven garrison, though it is occupied by Clan Skab, who are noted to be pretty elite warriors of Skavendom, and I think they actually have a seat on the Council. Still, the two biggest concentrations of Skaven: Under-Altdorf and Under-Middenheim are being avoided for now. Understandable though. Under-Altdorf is second only to Skavenblight, and Middenheim's presumably still going through its weird business.

Either way, yeah. People are taking advantage of the Skaven's preoccupation with Pestilens and Mors. Wonder if we'll see that list expand to some of the Tilean City-States. Not Skavenblight obviously, but some of the cities might try and hit their Under-Cities, and it's pretty much certain the Karaz Ankor will be getting their hits in once they get the news.
 
Also on Bright Wizards and their naming sensibilities:
They probably had to put the P for Polyphyrric somewhere, to differentiate it - I'm grateful they deliberately placed it so as to preserve "MAP", even if it's spelt wrong now.
 
Lore question, though: can a woman become Empress Regnant, not just Empress Consort? That is to say, if Heidi has a girl, is this the presumed heir of the Empire of Man, or can only men gain the imperial throne?
When the current Emperor dies the next Emperor will be elected by the Empire Counts. They won't vote for a child so there will not be a need for an Empress Regent. I''m not sure if there has been an Empress yet, but I'm resonably sure those they can happen if the Elector counts vote for one.

This is mildly bothering me, its 'Polysevirric', i'm not sure where the polyphyrric spelling came from...maybe
