[X] Battle: General of Fog
Perhaps you should embrace the role of General that fate seems to insist on thrusting upon you, and deepen your understanding of deriving and concealing information on the battlefield.
[X] Battle: Surreptitious Intervention
Or perhaps you should focus not on when you lead the battles, but when you turned them more personally. Eyes and blades in the right places can make all the difference.
[X] Karak: Polyglot
Between Khazalid and Queekish, you've found there's a great deal of benefits to expanding your linguistic lexicon.
[X] Karak: Windherder
It's said the High Elves can achieve miracles by using the Winds in parallel. You'll have to make do with using them in series, having other people handle the other Winds, and making sure they keep a safe distance from each other. But cultivating this ability expands the possibilities exactly eightfold.
[X] Personal: Poker Face
Acting like you always know what's going on has gone from a source of personal amusement to a vital diplomatic first line of defence. Perhaps this should be cultivated into a deeper understanding of the art of bluffing with no cards.
[X] Personal: Xeno-Affinity
Your circle of friends and acquaintances includes Dwarves, Halflings, seven flavours of Wizard, spiders, a wolf, a litter of Wolf-Rats, and to your surprise, one Skaven. Who can predict the benefits to cultivating an ability to find friendship amongst those most different from you?

Thorgrim... :facepalm:

^^See this, Thorgrim? It's a depiction of the exact elgi attitudes the Karaz Ankor hates so much - it is, should a few words be swapped out, your current situation. That's how dumb you're being, Thorgrim - not just shoddy like an umgi but dancing around the topic like an elgi. Have you learned nothing from the War of Vengeance?

Oh, keeping secrets is very Dwarf. If the Runesmiths had ever written anything down, they wouldn't be so reduced in the modern day.

It's even harder, given I'm sure Thorgrim swore an Oath to High King Alriksson to never reveal anything. And for better or worse, Dwarfs always keep Oaths...
 
... Why do I for some reason feel like Algard is calling me out personally.
Don't be ridiculous, Omegahugger. We haven't once managed to acquire limitless power from dubious sources!

Not for lack of trying, mind you.
Mountain Mystic is my pick for personal, because we are basically obligated to troll them in harmless ways,
want windherder trait because research and human high magic possibility
I like the idea of Mountain Mystic, but I don't like the wording of it. 'Walking alone with Ranald'? Is this a crack at our lack of love life? We walk with a multiethnic squad of heroes, wizards and anthropomorphic animals, thank you very much. Our mystical mountain is filled with people!
 
While my personal preference is for Xeno-Affinity in regards for Personal Growth trait, I feel like I must fight for my runner-up, The Mom Friend.

Not only do I feel that, from the way it's worded, it could apply to such things as poking Kragg to see what's up, shoving our nose into Roswita's vampire and Wizard problems, and shipping EddaxKazrik, but it is also precisely the kind of quirk I want Wizard Lord Mathilde to have. Where she has humbled the corrupt, cast down bastions of evil, reclaimed kingdoms, and shattered armies...and if you get on her good side, she will dote and fuss over you until the end of days.
 
Sounds like manling talk, to me. Surely if keeping silent was wrong, an ancestor would have spoken up by now.
Why, if only there was someone in the Karak who could call upon the spirits of the dead and ask for their wisdom.

You know, some kind of 'divine things from the dead'-ater person, that would be useful.

I mean, we still have Checkov's still living Ancestor in our Karak, remember?

I am pretty sure this was his purpose for coming here.

I keep forgetting the white dwarf showed up for the dwarf apocalypse and instead he's just sitting around drinking K8 microbrews wondering when the party is going to start

That's helpful, thank you!

First thought; we could take advantage of the snake juice producing exactly equal amounts of each wind when it transforms to get the quantities right.

Putting anything into 8 parts that could resmeble a star makes me nervous

How independent the Colleges are from each other depends a great deal on your perspective. There can be a lot of value in bridging those gaps.

You've seen a lot of terrible things. You were responsible for some of them. It is necessary to grow at least a little numb to the horrors of the world, so that one can continue to combat them.

This isn't 40k, Chaos needs a bit more than stuff with the right number on it to work.
 
I am really surprised how bad Mountain mystic is doing considering how popular it was before the latest update.

This really shows either A) the effect of one update can have on the threads opinion e.g. the introduction of elves made people more interested in elves.

Or B) the vocal minority and the silent majority Were really not on the same page on this one.

Mountain mystic is cool. It's just not nearly as cool as our adorable ducklings or friendships.

I mean, it's the runner-up in the Personal section right now, and there were a lot of people shilling for Xeno-Affinity before the update. It's doing about as well as you'd expect based on the previous thread sentiments.

I suspect he shows up pretty often, but he only shows himself if he's actually needed

We didn't need him.

Sure, what Thorgrim's doing is very dwarfy - but it's also very elf-like. The two races aren't so different, and pointing that out would cut all the deeper for its truth - and cutting as deep as possible into Thorgrim Shoddy-Tunnel's soul is really the whole point of the comment.
