I feel that the entire dwarf race has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, emphasis on Obsessive.

Edit: Eshin'd. As someone who's also with OCD, I agree.

What would be a worse thing to do to a dwarf:

(a) Give them a grudge they can never avenge?

Or

(b) Give them a debt they can never repay?

The former, definitely. With the latter you can at least give your all, even if you know it's not enough, it's at least trying and at least making progress towards the spirit of repaying the debt. The former, however, is like a wound that can never heal.

And in the case where the debt is owed to a people that no longer exist, you can at least honor their memory as best as possible, and try to help others in the way that those lost people helped you. Paying it forward, in essence. There are at least productive ways to at least show the spirit of repaying the debt (even if it can never actually be repaid).

Considering they went extinct five thousand years ago, probably not.

A shame, it would have been an interesting ethical conundrum for the Dawi, one where presumeably they can't just rely on tradition and have to decide what the proper thing to do would be on their own. They would have to, as a species and cultural group, decide whether their own monopoly on sacred secrets is worth keeping even against a people who haven't done anything to them.

... Are you guys, gals and other pals sure I can't convince you to have Mathilde go full necromancy? Just because you're currently dead doesn't mean you have to stay that way.

Not enough power, a human necromancer probably doesn't have the power to resurrect Sky Titans.

We need to find Cython's kid who took up Shyish, befriend them, and then make them read the Liber Mortis.
 
Runes with magical resonances aren't uncommon. Chaos has them, Skaven have them, Elves have them, the Colleges have them. If the Sky-titans have them - which I haven't seen a canonical source for, but it wouldn't surprise me if GW had been cribbing from the Jotunn - it wouldn't necessarily be a game-changer. What makes Dwarven Runelore unique, and uniquely useful, is that it isn't subject to the whims of the Winds or the Gods or the Warp.
