Dunno if someone's already mentioned this but... If Mathilde is officially a Dawi, then you can say that Dawi are, in fact, capable of wielding the Winds of Magic.

Kragg Doesn't Noticeably Disapprove of This(+100 relationship)

This line reminded me of this bit, especially the bolded part.

Belegar tugged his beard thoughtfully as he looked down at the small crater. He looked to his right, where Ulthar and a couple of his lads were trying to measure... something to do with the firing position, with a brass device of angles and lenses and a great deal of numbers scrawled into the dirt. Then he looked to his left, where Kragg the Grim was giving the crater the stare of an old and cantankerous Dwarf that is looking for and failing to find a reason to disapprove of something. And finally a cautionary glance upwards, even though some of the more sharp-sighted of the Rangers were keeping an eye on angle and would shout a warning if there was any danger.

On the distant peak, tiny figures he could barely glimpse through the shimmers of heat haze danced back and forth, engaged in what a borrowed telescope had shown him was a series of simultaneous arguments quickly devolving into fistfights. Every now and then, a loser would be determined, and moments later...

zoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG

whumph

And somewhere in about a 90-degree arc of where the greenskins had aimed, a new crater splattered into existence. They'd yet to get within a hundred yards of the advancing Throng.

"You know," Belegar said thoughtfully. "Mayhaps the manlings legalizing the Zhufokri wasn't such a terrible idea, after all."

"Hmph," said Kragg, in a tone of voice that would terrify most lesser Dwarves, but one that Belegar had learned was only his baseline level of disapproving. "Takes more than one good axe for a workshop to prove itself."

"If you dig a mine and get fifty cartloads of muck and one fistful of gold," Ulthar said thoughtfully. "What you've got there is a gold mine."

"Hmph," said Kragg again. But there was no arguing with a good mining metaphor.

Ever since Mathilde started doing Mathilde Things to Karag Lhune, Kragg has been grumbling about how she keeps doing things he can't grumble about. Granted, they're mixed with things he very much can grumble about, if for no other reason than how insanely risky they were.

Ahhhhh.

Does this mean getting fired due to a prejudice against our trade (wizard) is a grudge worthy offense now? Is the Grey College an officially recognized Guild?

It might actually be. Or become one.

After all, a dwarfs trade is never to be disrespected.

Unless they just declare Wizardry to be some aspect of Lorekeeping I suppose, but that doesnt sound like dwarfs.
 
Well, the obvious solutions seems to be finding the real identity of Rhanald, cousin of Thugni, and thus a very minor ancestor God with a claim to exactly "1 dawi soul, does not expire, cannot be combined with other coupons or offers".

Mathilde is an excellent insulator of Dwarfness.

I'm pretty sure she is a conductor given how much of it has gotten in her.

Based on observed behavior I hereby postulate that Mathilde is in fact the first Dawi semiconductor.
 
I wonder if this declaration would mean that the various dwarf Cults would teach her more throughly than they would before.

This might make learning Gazul Lore, Thungni Lore, and the theorised Arcane Khazalid more valuable.
 
I just realized. We need to go flex to the Empress at the first opportunity.
She convinced the Empire that she was the long lost heiress to an extinct line? Big deal, we convinced the dwarves we were a dwarf soul reincarnated as a human.

    I've started to think that giving Mathilde almost free rein for the expedition is turning out to be quite like rolling double or nothing on the results of the expedition.

    Mathilde Weber has entered a fell mood, and decides to fully apply herself to a task. What does she choose?

    [ ] Double down on her assigned task (anti -dragon defenses).

    Instead of simply building a basic defensive tower, Mathilde will personally invest her time and reputation among the Colleges of Magic to create an umgi enchantment monstrosity. It will be ugly, barely reliable by any basic good dwarf standards, and be made with ingredients reclaimed from beastmen and chaos cultists. It'll also stop a rampaging emperor dragon in its tracks.

    [ ] Learn High Queekish.

    Dissatisfied with the incompleteness of her work on the Skaven language, Mathilde decides to personally infiltrate Skavenblight to capture the materials she needs to translate High Queekish, a direct descendant of Daemonic. Depending on circumstances, she may cause shenanigans while there.

    [ ] Assist Kragg.

    Mathilde will use her reputation and favor among the Colleges of Magic to commission a Sevirscope for Kragg, so he can examine the runes within Bok. Additionally, she will also commission items she can use alongside her belt to descend directly into Karak Dron, where she will seek materials related to the Rune of Sorcery.

    Mathilde's Mathilding again.

    This time around our choices are for her to fuck around with Chaos, waltz into Skavenblight, or jump into an active volcano.

    People have started wondering over whether to be upset about the Dwarfs declaring us a dwarf in spirit, but... Have you guys considered blaming Ranald for this? :V

    Since, it sounds like it's thanks to him bragging about it, that the Dwarfs came to that conclusion. :V

    It wasn't the Dwarfs that spontaneously decided to declare Mathilde an honorary Dwarf; it was all thanks to Ranald!

    So, blame/praise Ranald. :V

    Blame him. It's more fun that way.

    Though lets be real, Ranald is probably cackling at the sheer absurdity of it all.

    Ranald is almost certainly smugging at everyone who cannot get away from him about this. Regimand probably will, too.

    I like the idea that someone posted earlier that it was Ranald himself, manifesting to Thorgrim.

    We always assumed the coin would inform people through vague magical means, but it turns out that it really works by Ranald showing up and saying, "Hey, check out what Mathilde just did!"
     
    "Great news Mathilde! after digging in the archives for weeks, we have managed to restore your proper place in the genealogy, unfortunately we could not restore your beard"

    "Ah, it's ok i can live with that"

    "Well, if you call that living, walking, a mere shadow of your former self, your birthright stripped away like a long abandoned mineshaft, the whispers following you "there goes the beardless freak""

    "You know, i could probably declare a grudge for that"

    "But doing so would still not restore your beard"
