By now the High-ranking dwarves should know more about Ranald than the sanitized version Mathilde told Belegar.

That was certainly an inspired way to represent the God of Thieves, Gamblers, Conman and Rebels. :V

And then they get Mathilde as representative of that. The cognitive dissonance is screaming externally.

Seems Grombrindal turned up to complain about being shown up by a Umgi.

a disembodied Dwarven soul, which has subsequently been incarnated in the form of an Umgi.

New title: Legally a Dwarf.

Also! We now have proof that Dawi can use magic. They just need to be reincarnated as an Umgi to do it!

Say, what do we know of Grombrindal, anyway? Did Belegar ever have a double take moment, like one of those movies where the advice giving character turns out to be Jesus or something like that?

Notificaton: Gazul says that the reincarnation was voluntary. The Dawi > human soul shall reincarnate again into Dawi once everything is fixed.
Grudge is requested to be rescinded due to circumstances.

Notification: Request reinforcement for Expedition. Need more slayers.
Notification: Ranald is grateful for the loaner.

UMGI ARE OFT TO DISAPPOINT US, WITH THEIR SHORTSIGHTEDNESS, SHODDY WORK AND OTHERWISE UMGI LIKE BEHAVIOUR.

YET KING KURGAN WAS A WISE DWARF, AND HE DID NOT BIND US TO THEM FRIVOLOUSLY.

It is good then, to be reminded every so often about why he made the decision he did.

A FINE THING TO HAVE ONE SUCH EXAMPLE PRESENT; FOR NONE OF THE BEARDLINGS THESE DAYS WERE ALIVE DURING THE GREAT WAR, AND HAD NO MAGNUS THE PIOUS TO SHOW THEM WHAT A SUFFICIENTLY UN-IMGI, UMGI COULD DO.

*VAGUELY, POTENTIALLY, ONLY MAYBE CONSIDERED SLIGHTLY POSITIVE GRUMBLING*

At any rate, once this campaign is over I want Mathilde to take a short vacation to Wurtbad to check in on things. And more importantly to allow our inevitable dwarf escorts to tell the local children how the Dämmerlichtreiter stole a mountain from Chaos.

Does anyone know why the dwarf High King of Sigmar's time the Chaos worshiping nomads are both called Kurgan? Is it just GW being silly or is there a lore reason?

BECAUSE THEY STOLE HIS NAME. A GRUDGE FOR SUCH THEFT-

/undwarf
It's likely because the Norscan tribes and Norscan dwarfs had a long period of intermingling before the former fell to chaos and those who didn't moved south.
/redwarf

-DEMANDS RECOMPENSE! UNBAK! UZKUL!

I mean, it is not completely implausible given Mathildes relationship with her god. If Ranald had stolen a soul out of another gods afterlife for shits and giggles, he would certainly keep a very close eye on them in life and give them the occasional boon, but wouldn't put the same expectations on them as he would for a normal priest - after all, they aren't a worshipper, but a fun hobby.

Oh, yeah, the Protector, forgot that's on, hah. Yeah, that'd explain how big of a- was- wait a second-
- The Protector: When you act in a way that defends an individual or group from a danger that you did not cause, they will become aware of what you have done and will believe you acted selflessly in doing so.

Would- would further supplying the Rune of Azamar count as 'defending' the dwarves against the danger of chaos? Karak Vlag was an old hold, right? Should be supplying the network too, not acting as just a relay. Then again, the 'defence' is probably too abstract, and Mathilde has no idea that that was ever an issue in the first place, I'm just overthinking things.

I hope, anyway.

Was Mathilde always a believer in Ranald? I thought she sorta picked it up during her time as the spy mistress of Stirland
