Fuck. YES. I fucking called it. Honestly, I prefer this to any of the other options. Like, Damn.
 
Thankfully there is a (considerable) chance van Horstmann won't be evil.

Also keep in mind that at some point in the not-so-distant future I'm going to have to roll a will check to keep van Horstmann from being entirely loyal to the Empire and an overall charming and helpful person just to fuck with the thread, and that's going to have a really high DC.

And even if he is evil as long as he doesn't break cover during this expedition that's indistinguishable from him being a well behaved Magister.

We should take this opportunity to compare notes with this experienced and talented magister now that we'll be traveling together.

Agreed.

If he's legit, he's still most likely a very talented and driven young Magister of Mathildes generation, and a friendship with him may well pay off narratively.

If he's a servant of Tzeentch, the perceived betrayal from her friend falling to chaos will make for a great story and there are great narrative parallels between Egrimm/Tzeentch - Mathilde/Liber Mortis. It will also potentially provide plenty of plot hooks in the future where Mathilde tries to root out his Cabal.

Wurstmann aside,

I'm just going to guess that Apesto is in Tilea, because of course there'd be a place called pesto in Fantasy Italy.

No no no. This place is named "No Pesto." Pesto is expressly forbidden within the city limits.

If he wants in on the romance he's gonna need at least three heads, that way he can kiss Mathilde, Panoramia, and Cython at the same time.

Two dragon heads. One own head. Works.

Somewhere in the warp, Ranald is holding the symbolic representation of Mathilde and Horstmann.

He gently bumps them together and whispers: "And now, kiss!"

Or it could be Tzeentch. Sometimes you just can't tell.

Nah, this is totally Tzeentch and Ranald both playing a children's card game to screw each other over and just happened to have the same plan of throwing their best monster at the other guy's and hoping they've got enough trap cards and spells to come out on top. Or something, I don't play that game.
 
Thinking about this further, we might actually be rather lucky we didn't get some of the higher ones, the Magister Patriarch especially. Divided Loyalties remains true, and having the Patriarch would raise alarm bells on my part, especially given what happened to the last one that campaigned with Mathilde.
 
@Chopak
I mean I'd say don't worry about it honestly.
It's just meta and uncertainty.
We don't know what's canon and Mathilde doesn't know the guy or the potential future.
But that's just me I think.
 
@BoneyM, how does possession of the Anvils work? Kragg has "his" Anvil as does Thorek, but what does that mean?
1) Runelord in question made that Anvil, so of course it is his
2) He did not make it, but it is his property because he found or inherited it
3) It's collective property of the Runesmithing Guild, but some number of top Runelords get to use the Anvils for free
4) It's collective property and Runelords are expected to contribute (basically, pay favor) to use the Anvils, Kragg's and Thorek's are just those that they most frequently rent.
