Have some faith in our babies, will you?

It's not like we're letting them read books that are dangerous like the Liber Mortis or our more saucy romance novels. <.<
Nature and nurture are in play, and any queekish books reek of nurture. I believe we'd be hard pressed to find one that doesn't teach, at least part, of the Skaven mindset.
 
Definitely feels like a strong opening, though I worry about the comparison to divine magic. Still it doesn't seem too bad. Worst case, we piss off a couple priests.
 
It begins to sound like millions of voices began to cry in Waaagh only to be brutally silenced.

It's probably wise for Mathilde to use the strength of the material and her preparations to draw the audience in, rather than attempt to strike up a rapport with such a diverse group using her moderate Diplomacy.
 
That's a topic of a very different lecture, which would be so astoundingly classified that only Algard could attend it.

What about the other Patriarchs and Matriarchs of the Colleges?

Well then, I guess we might one day need to give a lecture to the assembled Patriarchs and Matriarchs of the Colleges, the High Priests of the Empire and several Rune-priest masters so that the forces of order know how to forge highly classified superweapons to act as the strategic deterrence of the Empire and Karaz Ankor.

He said only Algard. So only Algard.

You don't build a classified superweapon and then give a lecture on how exactly it's built.
 
Pretty much. I don't expect it to go wrong. It's the only part of the opening I could think of that could possibly give us trouble.
Especially since she had to compare it to something and had already said that Waaagh power behaved somewhat similar to Arcane and Divine energies.

"Hey Algard, remember that battle mountain we made? It works. Lecture dismissed."
Mathilde: "Incidentally the Light HOrder's choir casting techniques looks like orcs"

:p
Also, their choir masters look like orcs. And so the other choir members.
What I'm trying to say is that the Light Order is basically orcs made of meat not fungus.
 
The defining of magic and divine power was probably a poor choice, but most priests know the colleges views on these things.

Won't make friends with it, but can probably brush off it a few times as long as Mathy doesn't keep doing it.

Probably would be conducted over a small keg of fine dwarven ale. Because I imagine she would not take too long on the wizardly bits, beyond "here's how it works, manual controls are nicely intuitive". And then go "Gazul? Real. Definitely pays attention when the tower is fired. It's a bit unsettling." And then ale.

It might also help that it basically opened with "Greenskin Magic is not actually like what you do" and probably doesn't intend to speak of much divine magic directly from here on out.
 
And if it's actually similar enough to cause problems, we just send a bill for the pen testing we did for them, and act like it was intentional
Depending on how smug the recipient might be, that might not be a good idea.
"An expense well spent! Now the College no longer has to worry about whether or not there's a plausible reason to use the countermeasures we came up with a while back, and I no longer have to wonder if I've attended this lecture yet or not. Congratulations on the successful delivery, by the way. Much better than your next one."
