I imagine if the gods were truly peeved by his looking in they could have blocked him. Or made their displeasure known.

...

@BoneyM From a purely OOC perspective. Did the ancestors gods use some divine scheming to put Johann in that situation?

Possibly, It would really depend on his character whether he would see that as a sign of his inadequacy or her ridiculousness.

though i did say a while back that envy could be a cause of their relationship going sour.

So on the uptick Karnos it could be Eonir, but it could also be that Sigmarite Witch-Hunters just came into the area witch hunting and burning people, even if they did seem pretty reasonable about it I wouldn't be surprised if some peasants got scared shitless as a result and that left them open to converting.

That's exactly what an incredibly sneaky and subtle person would say!

In more seriousness.

The white dwarf literally came, fought in a huge battle, and went with no one the wiser. Still this is a question that would matter more for Johann in the end.

Grombrindal isn't quite an ancestor god IIRC. What he actually is, we don't know. The only canon explanation was given in End Times.
 
The most surprising thing in the update is the church of Sigmar not being useless.

I think that's the first time in this quest? Ideally they would continue doing that so it would be tied back to Mathilde's anti-Sigmar plot-thread.

EDIT: The rest of the stuff with Johan was pretty great, I was just struck by how atypical the Templars were shown.

He was probably quite put out by that. Had a dramatic reveal ready and everything, and then Gazul pulled history's biggest kill-steal.

I am imagining Grombrindal yelling at Gazul about how he was gonna give Belegar an inspiring speech and put him on the road to being one of the greatest kings of the age, but then someone empowered a frigging umgi to strike down the entire Waaagh and undercut his whole shtick.

Gazul: "She's not an umgi. She's a Mathilde."

I mean, Abelhelm's Witch Hunter contacts did disentangle us from the Lahmians. That was a super important and not-useless thing they did.

Yeah, I can't really make it less 'pals being pals' without it being a soft lock-in because SV is fidelious as fuck.

You've just got to train them properly! Why, Erika Kurtsdottir has slept with so many beautiful women by this point that I managed to get SV to overwhelmingly vote to do favours for a Lahmian because she was hot.

...granted I had to start that one early and not, uh... *checks threadmarks*... half a million words in.
 
So, reading through the quest, I stumbled upon this exchange, and I have a question.

Yeah I read that as him transforming Karag Nar into a simulacrum/sympathetic metaphor for Gazul's Sword in the mortal world.

Wait, no, this explanation is better.

If Karag Nar is basically a giant, mortal simualcrum of Gazul's Sword ..... does that mean the entire mountain is a holy artifact/location?
 
How could we have been so blind!? How could we have missed the most important and obvious Tower design of all?

How could we not have considered ... the Tower of Towers? A Tower which causes a hollow spire of stone to erupt from the ground

I tire of this ceaseless slander against Selena! There are perfectly non-vampiric explanations for everything.

😤

:V

The only other oddity is reports from Talabecland that there's been a fairly significant increase in the worship of Karnos, the local God of the Hunt. Unusual, but as he's not proscribed and seems relatively harmless, it's probably not anything to worry about.

I mean, he was there when we stole a gas mask and it snowballed into reclaiming a whole Karak, so I feel like he would probably guess that there was a good amount of panicked flailing involved.
