Is that canonical Warhammer lore or just something for this quest?

Canonical. Sigmar's Heirs has descriptions of what people from each province tend to be like.

Fun fact: as lots of races/factions in Warhammer are parodies of various ethnicities, the Giants are a parody of the Dutch
Yeah the easily distinguished national flags only particularly got going around Nationalism, prior to that it was often heraldry chosen to pack as much meaning as they could into every inch of cloth, and they also generally weren't that many independent forces on a given battle that memorizing how they look at a distance was a problem.National flags as a general thing essentially post-date the time periods that Warhammer is based upon. The Stirland flag looks like a pretty typical regimental battle standard to me.

Hmm, i think Marienburg is a more accurate expy. But i guess the Netherlands deserves two expies in the setting.Fun fact: as lots of races/factions in Warhammer are parodies of various ethnicities, the Giants are a parody of the Dutch

Do the Robes need a name?
Mathilde, the Mist Dress of Mistery.
Mathilde, the Mist Dress of Mistery.
The Ward Robe?

No. It makes sense when it's something impressive and rare like a dragonbone staff or a gromril sword, not for something that exists just to save Mathilde the bother of casting a spell manually.

Yeah, makes sense.
I was in large part wanting a lead-in to post my terribley brilliant Mist Dress of Mistery pun.
Then I came up with Ward Robe, and honestly, I've been cracking myself up over it for a few minutes now.

We're waiting until we get proper silk to make a new set of robes.
...we really should look into what's going wrong with that.

The first one is ok, but let down because we don't have a dress, and it doesn't do mist.Yeah, makes sense.

The second one is great, and now I want to make some sort of invincible mega robe so we can call it the ward robe.

Still no skill clothes shills in silk robes
no silk sheet treats for sleeps
still silk flows solely from silk roads
not though weavers wail and weep

Have we tried teaching the spiders themselves to do the weaving? Eight arms would presumably help a lot, though you'd need to redesign the loom.
Or just have a proper dwarf grumble about silk robes being more difficult than reclaiming a Karak.
We haven't yet. The We ought to be good weavers once they get the hang of it.

Well, it's definitely not a reference to Jesus, because the calendar based off him doesn't have a year 0. Neither, as far as I can tell, does the Islamic calendar.
Huh. Strange.
So the questverse shares that with the real life history, despite the presence of gods, magic, a different human origin and realistically implausible human feats?
You are the QM, whatever you say goes, but honestly I didn't expect that at all.
They're still human, average height still varies based on the same variables. It's not an evolution thing if that's what you're thinking, it's a nutrition thing.

See, that is why any setting that has magical items being "rare and precious" (and thus given to pcs with care, so that each has one or two at best) is unrealistic:
Success brings success, magical items bring success, one magical item brings more magical items, the rich get richer because there is no mechanim to prevent that (and no, being mobbed doesn't count, because a person with magical items stolen from ruins knows to hide them and one with magical items granted to them got them as a favour meaning they have institutional backing). You either have non or are ready to start gaining more.
I would have thought that the colleges would feed Mathilde well, given how young she was when they got her?

Generally malnutrition during early childhood will still have a pretty large effect on your growth even if you get a better diet later.
Undernutrition-induced stunting is pretty much irreversible after the age of 2.
To an extent. There's also quality - trading a lower quality magic item for a better and more useful one can happen.
Mathilde only did that once (with the Bright wizard ring) because most of her equipment is top tier from the get go; but the number of people who can get Kragg the Grim to personally craft them not one but two magic items is very low as is the number of people who have a godly artefact.
Most Magisters don't have a dwarf favour pool and are also way less accomplished in the Colleges; quite a few also wouldn't be that good at enchanting - which mean they've got to very carefully manage their smaller CF budget for all their needs (or get wealthy if they can do that).

Yeah, I agree, but WHRP claims magical items are super rare fr pcs period, not that higher rarities are hard to get.
(also, I dunno if our stuff are top tier. Kragg is not as good as ancient runesmiths or Alaric the mad, the Colleges are not as talented as the elven or Nehekaran traditions, and our staff is not as good as he legendary magic +2 staff. The only thing that is probably top tier is the coin, everything else is just top tier as far as our capabilities of obtaining things are concerned)

I think you are underselling Kragg.
Sure, there have been better runesmiths than kragg... But their works are not in circulation.
Branulhune is definitely in the same weight class as a Runefang.
That is, unless you have a very exclusive top tier with godly artefacts, with just sword of Khaine and the hammer of Sigmar.
