"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"

Dwarf women don't have beards, they plait their hair.

Point of order: dwarf females use plaits instead of beards. And ours are long and neatly combed according to word of Boney.
 
I think people are thinking about this twisted. I doubt Ranald could trick dwarves into thinking someone was a Dawi. Also, Ronald doesn't plan so much, he just does things sometimes, and occasionally stacks the deck.

Ranald, being Ranald, decided to try to see if He could steal a Dawi soul from the Underearth. Why? Because it was there, it was difficult, and it had never been done. So He succeeds, and gets away without being caught, and decides to reincarnate the soul, giving her a tendency to magic, leaning towards the least dwarfy magic possible. Why? Because it amuses Him, and why not gamble with this stolen money? Then the gamble paid off way to well, and the dwarven gods are like 'who the hell is this', especially Gazul, who worked through her. The ancestor gods start looking for her, and what do you know, they find a missing soul, they track that down, then find it all leads to Mathilde.

Female warhammer dwarfs don't have beards, they have braids, which Mathilde already has.
 
Technically, Kragg can take us as an apprentice now :p

also, strictures of the Cult of Thungni say:
Never allow any non-Dwarf who has somehow acquired some knowledge of runic magic to pass on their knowledge.

So if we discover something about waystone runes, we can actually teach it without it being a death sentence.

But only to dwarfs.
 
Now the best thing to happen is Mathilde rolls for her reaction when she hears the news, rolls a 1, and proceeds to become completely convinced this is the truth.

Dwarven Infection Status: Complete

Edit: Wait, what if the Dawi is Mandred?

Anyone got the quote of when Mathilde started plaiting her hair?
Yay, I beat Pickle!

So true, and speaking of Dwarf Infection @BoneyM Does Mathilde still keeps her hair loose? or is she using braids?
It keeps her hair secure when it could be a safety hazard.
And uncut these last few years, perhaps?
She's a busy woman, haircuts would just be a waste of time.
Well, quite.
Half an hour spent brushing out your waist-length hair every night is simply good time for reflection on the days events.
And braiding it in the morning or when required is useful time to contemplate the risks ahead.
The Grey Order encourages meditative activities like these instead of more traditional methods of meditation, because they can be kept up without risk when one goes undercover.

Humans do not have affinity to specific winds, at least most of them don't. Someone like Xerus could stumble into colored magic by virtue of temperament alone, but Mathilde is no Xerus, she was taken in to the Grey Order because of her age and because she imprinted on Reginald like a duckling.
