Actually he might have chosen not to serve.

Intentional or not I shall think of it as some top tier Author trolling xD

If she dressed in Dwarven fashion it would be difficult to tell whether she was a tall Dwarf or a short human.

sounds like a stealth bonus.

No one expects the Dwarven wizard Inquisition!

"She'll ride aboard the Volans," Borek says, his own Reikspiel heavily accented but passable.

"You may have your pick of the steam-wagons to travel upon. Loremaster Weber is staying aboard the Volans if you wish to be amongst Wizards."

"With the Bachór Charodei? Nie. I will stay with the," she waves a hand at the nearby Knights, "leshiye towarzysz. Kovnik Joerg is sensible." She nods as if that settles everything and walks away.

Well, Borek certainly read her wrong.
And Ice Witch shows she does not like wizards.

"Indeed. Karag Dum is in your debt."

"Karak Kadrin is in our debt," she replies. "Our agreement?"

And she really does not give a shit.
With a single sentence she implies that his Karak is quite unable to repay that, so they're getting their payment from another one.
Ouch!

I meant intentionally pretending to be a dawi, but... yeah, that actually could probably fly, Greys and their grey areas.

Why would we pretend to be a dawi? I mean, the infection seems to be a lot more advanced than we thought, but it's not possible to reach that level.

'Sides, dawi fashion is excellent, and I'm sure Matty wouldn't mind.

Let's be social now, while there's nothing big going on.

Speaking of dwarf infection:

Mathilde has picked up the attitude that if you don't wear a dozen tools, then it wasn't a proper work.

"Mathilde Weber," he says thoughtfully. "The battle-mighty weaver. I'd call the name rather on-the-nose, had you not been born with it. The games destiny plays, eh?"
You give a nod, more at acknowledgement at the shot across your bows than the commentary on your name. "Indeed," is all you say, wondering where he found the time to look into your origins while preparing for the Expedition.

I don't get it. What was the shot across her bows?

Sorry, I was unclear. I was comparing her to both Weatherwax and Gehenna, both of whom have Give No Fucks energy, but in importantly different ways. You are right that they are not much alike.

I'm not sure how much I agree with that. Let's look at her first scene:
BoneyM said:
Johann, Adela, and yourself had been making your way through the Skaven books on engineering for background information on the lighting mechanism when the Wizard chosen to educate you in Gehenna's Golden Hounds had arrived, and your first indication that they're here is Johann leaping out of his chair and hurrying towards the entrance, and then a noise like a gong being struck with a frying pan shatters the studious silence. In walks a woman no taller than you carrying Johann under one arm, wearing a golden robe that looks like it was extremely well-made before someone ripped the arms off and severed everything below the knee. Her bare and muscled limbs are as golden as Johann's, her pale skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair cut very short suggests Nordlander blood, if not Norscan. "Right!" she says, dropping the grinning Johann onto the table with a thud. "I hear there's a bloody weird Grey that wants to learn some juicy secrets."

On the one hand, this is the woman that told Johann he shouldn't gild his face until he can fight of arbitrary amounts of hungry peasants, going around with ripped off sleeves to show off her golden guns. That's an intense fuck vacuum.

On the other hand, she clearly cares a lot about her cute apprentice. So there's a huge fuck reserve there. I wouldn't be surprised if Ljiljana has some apprentice she cares about, but I don't think she'd be this expressive about it. Kragg style "You're relatively unterrible" is what I would expect at most.

For that reason, I think Ljiljana Give No Fuck energy is stronger. Gehenna has too many positive fucks. Incidentally, I give it even odds that if some peasant actually tries, then she'd give the poor guy some coin, because he must clearly be in dire straights. Though she wouldn't lose sleep over punching his head off if he didn't behave.

On something of a tangent: Johann getting carried in under her arm like a puppy by the scruff by a woman as tall (or short) as Mathilde is intensely adorable. It doesn't say, but I'm convinced that he gets carried all the way to the library like that, and still participates in the conversation.
 
I first say while I'm still worried about Borek, it not as bad as most of us thought and he does know what he doing at least here.

And the vote.

King Kazador Thunderhorn

> He has decades of experience in combat and warfare, and so efficiently purged the mountains near Karak Azul that the greenskins learned to climb mountains. And then he made his Throng learn too so they could follow them. Don't underestimate him.
< Hmm. Kazok, Kazgal and Kazgrom like tall women. I wonder if she likes bearded lads? Sure, they say that manlings and Dwarves can't have children, but have any of them actually tried?

That's Kazador ever since the battle under the caldera against Mors. :D

Does Mathilde know the 'engineered by Old Ones' origin of many species, including humans? Is that general Dollege knowledge? I wonder if she'd pick up on this and wonder. Made by who? Or what?

It's a theory that floats around from a few Ulthuanian religious and historical texts, as well as a few scattered runestones, but general consensus is that it's part mistranslation and part Elves being intentionally obtuse. There's a lot more evidence for beings like Isha and Rhya than there is for these mysterious 'Old Ones'.
