FYI on paper schemas:
A - Apprentice
PA - Perpetual Apprentice
J - Journeyman
M - Magister
LM - Lord Magister
BW - Battle Wizard
MP/MM - Magister Patriarch/Matriarch
SP/SM - Supreme Patriarch/Matriarch

Expanding on that:

E.C. is used for Elector Counts
S·T·T·L is placed after the name if at the time of writing the contributor is deceased.
Other titles (Professor, Loremaster, Runelord) are spelled out in full.

The name of the branch of the Colleges is placed in brackets after the name. (Light, Celestial, Amber, Jade, Grey, Amethest, Bright, Gold)
 
That does not seem at all like an obstacle to writing smut. If anything, leaning into tsundere archetypes, will-they-or-won't-they type plots, and cranking up belligerent sexual tension should let Elven smut practically write itself.

Like, imagine how hard the Phoenix King probably has to come down on the literature market to keep TyrionxAlarielxFinabur from saturating Ulthuan, or worse, escaping quarantine to the Old World.
Does that mean, depending on the translation it could be an action drama, a love comedy AND a tragedy at once?
Landed titles also get abbreviated; we have E.C. coauthors (Abelhelm and Roswita) on some of our work, and when I asked Boney if we had made the Van Hal line our pets:
Hmm, so that'd be...
K - Knight
B - Baron
C - Count
EC - Elector Count

Not sure if theres Viscounts and Marquises, those are usually granted to border province lords, except in the Empire basically every province has a hostile interior border to the nearest significant forest. And Dukes are higher than count, so that'd be weird, but there ARE Bretonnian dukes and they are nominally friendly.
 
Overly Vulgar Romance +3 - Druchii / Extensive Skaven
Romance +7 - Extensive Imperial / Extensive Druchii / Extensive and Obscure Skaven
Honestly it kind of impressive that there is non-vulgar Druchii and Skaven romance books.
Suppose it makes sense in a way. People fantasise about what they don't have and civilisations with chronic backstabbing as their state religion are very short on Warm and Fuzzy Feelings.

Side note, anyone else noticed that the Liber Mortis isn't actually listed anywhere on the character sheet? Somehow I doubt it is the 'Necromancy: Extensive Imperial' part of the library. Did we lose it?

So, our future dragon friend apparently really had hate on for Druchii, and there was a Druchii here in K8P doing mysterious things with Moulder.
One possibility is that they were working together to take him out. The Druchii would do it for revenge, and Moulder would absolutely salivate over the possibility of getting to work with the body of an Emperor Dragon.

It's probably too late to be certain now, but it might be something to tell the Dragon to make nice. We could ask the Elf Ambassador, but I doubt he'd tell us much, or if he even cared to find out. Qrech might possibly know something, but telling us would go against Moulders interest, so he won't be eager. We might have to run some kind of gambit. It might work if we frame it as the dragon being an enemy of Moulder, but we don't actually know that, and we don't know if Qrech knows. So uncertain odds on an uncertain outcome. Still, the dragon might enjoy that there was a Dark Elf in K8P and he spent the rest of his life regretting it.
 
So, as I've been picking over the last update, here is a bit which I don't think got a lot of attention.
"Good enough for me. Expand the Gyrocopter hangars, and when the Okral arrives, put the Engineers to work on building up it and the Aircorp. Maybe we won't need them against the dragon, but we'll soon be looking beyond our Karak and I want the tools to intervene quickly and effectively.
With King Belegar looking to expand his Aircorp into a force that can intervene quickly beyond the Karak, that's going to be another layer of potential security for riverine trade in the area. We know that Gryocopters are able to fly at least halfway to Karaz-a-Karak and back (given that one of our Gyrocopters made it all the way to Karaz-a-Karak) which, looking at the maps, is a pretty significant area that Karak-Eight-Peaks can exert influence over. Of immediate value is the ability to send air support over to Karak Azul in case they are defending against a Waaagh.

It may also force any Greenskin force traveling north through the Badlands closer to the sea which would allow Barak Varr's monitors to harass them before ever reaching Barak Varr. And, at the very least, it will allow Karak-Eight-Peaks to harass any Waaagh's approaching Karak-Eight-Peaks overland.

Overall, it certainly seems that with an expansion in his Aircorps, King Belegar is going to try and take a more proactive stance in exerting his military influence in the area around Karak-Eight-Peaks, which will hopefully make trade even safer in the area.
 
Uhm, wasn't local Moulder wiped out? I don't see how that matters anymore. Could you explain? It's not something I've considered.
Well, whatever the Dark Elf was doing, it's probably not a betrayal of anybody beyond the local forces to tell us what he was there for.

Though, probably Qrech doesn't know much about that.

Hmm, I'd agree if it was some miscellaneous local Moulder maneuvering, but the Dark Elf is part a diplomatic thing, and likely concerns the clan as a whole. It's possibly it's two individuals doing something together, and that makes it ok to talk about it, but I don't rate the chances that high.
 
It's worth noting that, assuming that Boney would have used the same schema of 2d6 topics being available to us and a roll on the same topic table we saw, the original plan @LightLan proposed had a reasonable chance of working and finding us our missing magical vocabulary; not a great chance, but better than I would have thought. So, props to LL for modeling the QM better than I did.

I think there's also an element of "Thorgrim's useless about sending the Aircorp to aid other Karaks, so I'll make my own to ensure Karak's can get needed support".
 
I think the dragon use to be one of the dragons for Loren. It speaks Elgi and does not seem to hate dawi. It may be thousands of years old and have fought in the war of vengeance. We don't really know except for it's apparent hatred for the Druchii.

We know from a roll that it used to live in Naggaroth.

Presumably, the Drucchi pushed it out and it took exception to that.

(Also, Athel Loren is one of the last places I'd expect to find an Ice Dragon)
 
Another character sheet update:
Ratling Gun mechanism and countermeasures (FRESH) (can be written by Johann)
Looks like we got him unblocked on that nonsense!

(A reminder to all that prior to the release of an official update, you should confine discussion of/quotes from new material to spoilers or inline spoilers.)
