Or it pushed the reserves into an acceptable not deafing the High King level, thorugh i do think Eight Peaks is likely to be large enough a nexus boost the charging into a positive.

Um. Mathilde is a grandmaster in her chosen field.

My guess on how the Protector would work while on the Elfcation is that the Shadow Warriors would see the message of "Mathilde's cool" as coming from Loec, and thus while they wouldn't "fall for it" in terms of being subconsciously affected, would still see it as a very good form of vouching for her character.

I'm pretty confident that the alarm was going "the power for the RoV is draining from the reserves", given that it evidently started immediately with Karak Vlag's disappearance. If the alarm has stopped, that means that there is sufficient power from the network to keep the RoV going.

I mean there's that, but there's also the fact this Dwarf who likes to read the Liber Mortis and translate Demonically descended languages in her spare time somehow infiltrated her way up to being both a Lady Magister of the Empire and be Godmother to the likely future Emperor, all the while living in a literal Doom Mountain. Mathilde's subtlety has layers.
Really, are the other Lord Magisters even trying?

Lets be fair now. That was definitely on the clock for Belegar.

Also: Mathilde is so cool that the entire Dwarven empire wants her. Think about that. 
Yeah, but her chosen field is magic.
Considering even Rangers are viewed as exceedingly eccentric for wanting to stay so long in the sunlight... Mathilde mastery might be undeniable and indeed could be considered as good as possible from a Dawi POV however the subject matter is really iffy.

Honestly, I think we are grandmasters of subtlety. No joke, we have been using one of the most subtle techniques ever. The Kansas City Shuffle.
While they are focused on what we do overtly, they do not notice what we do NOT overtly .

Wasn't it implied that it was ringing before?, did Thorgrim heard it when he put on the Crown?, and i recall he mention it as a possible part of why his uncle was eager to die.

So, I think there is another angle to this that most people aren't talking about.
The way people talk about gods in thread, it seems pretty accepted that belief shapes capability and, to a degree, motivation of gods.
The Dwarfs have declared that Ranald doesn't just steal souls, but that he does it often enough to play silly buggers by doing things like sticking dwarfs in humans.
What does that imply about the souls of people sacrificed to chaos or to some druchii's dark ritual?
To be clear, I think that if Ranald could steal those souls from chaos or destruction, He would have been doing it already. But the God of luck needs opportunities, and desperate people who hear about the god who steals souls are going to be looking to give those opportunities.
How many people changed by warpstone are going to hold out against chaos better, because they know Ranald has pulled this con before? How many parents are going to steep their mutant kids in Ranaldite lore, because the alternatives are leaving them in the woods or burning them alive? How many people in Hashut slave pits have been taught all their lives that they belong to Hashut and that even death is no escape might decide to charge their masters with a fire in their eyes and a cry of Ranald on their lips, because what do they have to lose?
Again, I think this is already happening, not often, but happening without us. And I don't think that this incident will make the above common, but I do think that it will make it more likely, and here is where it gets funny to me.
If leaning into the lie makes the above more common, you could argue that doing so isn't just approved of by Ranald, but obligatory. And of course it would be downright unpious to not take full advantage of any benefits of doing so.
TLR - The proper response to this nonsense by Mathilda is to think it's bullshit but roll with it anyway and you can't convince me otherwise.
I regret I have but one like to give this. This is a beautiful description of what-could-be, and I adore the visuals and optimistic ideal that Ranald could impart.
Unfortunately, this is Warhammer and thus we can't have nice things. But damned if I wish that couldn't be the case, just for one man in the Hashut slave pits or in the deep woods of the Drakwald.

Thorgrim was of the opinion that the disappearance of Karak Vlag + Dum causing the Runes to fail is why his uncle died of wounds he should have survived.
Presumably, the alarm would have started when Vlag was pulled into it's bubble.

Huh. I wonder what Panoramia's going to think about the fact that she's apparently dating a dwarf now.
That's the issue right there. They're trying too hard. Mathilde has stopped trying. She just does.
Action of thought is the sign of true mastery (and also of fools, but it's said Ranald loves those best).
Please guys, let's resist publishing 'Humblebrag: The Paper'.
Well at least until Mathilde returns the Phoenix Crown or destroys the black pyramid or something.
Speaking of that, if Mathilde ever wants to go out with a bang, the second secret of Dhar used on the entire black pyramid at once could be... well it might break the planet but besides that, it would probably kill Nagash.

Could be, How long was the time difference?, it should have been long enough for his uncle to believe that they were forever lost, with no chance of reclamation, or he believed reclamation will have no chance from the beginning.
I took the meaning as his uncle losing the will to fight on because his Empire was doomed, not that the failing runes caused his death.

Honestly, we are at the point we do not need to humblebrag.
Everyone will know our name before the turn's end.

Eh, I could see it meaning he wouldn't respawn, or at least have a harder time of it, but I don't think destroying it would instantly kill him.

I didn't meant they literally caused his death, just that the loss of spirit did him in.
This is SV's fault for being so collectively horny for the Dawi
I think Maugan Ra has a funny post about that obsession somewhere, though I am honestly only like 50% sure whether it was them or someone else.
Gotta have a burglar for your Dwarf-home reclaimations.
Hold on, could this mean that Beastmen, or at least Minotaurs, are descended from Polar Cows?
She's very Oinkbane the Deadly in how she goes about things.
My dream is for Mathilde and Alith Anar to meet during Elfcation, and then Loec and Ranald start bragging at each other about how their favored mortal is more awesome, while the two of them just awkwardly stand there.
