Well, the centre of magical research outside Bretonnia, Laurelorn, and Athel Loren. And whatever was happening with Marienberg's own college of magic.

"This is a branch college, bound to the colleges in Altdorf, that just happens to have a lot of wizards that work with Runesmiths (ideally)" vs. "This is a joint-project by the Colleges of Magic and the Runesmith Guild of the Karaz Ankor, with a whole tangled knot of Quest Title"?

And suddenly, it became clear how the dwarves reached the conclusion that Ranald stole Mathilde's soul from them.Ranald after receiving an enquiry from the Karaz Ankor Conclave, 2486, colourised:
Yep. Legally, those are two completely different entities.

So if this is canon, it means that Ranald is likely didn't try to inform the Dwarves himself, and also didn't try to trick the pantheon that a non-dwarven souled Mathilde was actually a dwarf, two of the leading alternate explanations. Guys, I think we're a dwarf. All the other explanations make little sense.Ranald after receiving an enquiry from the Karaz Ankor Conclave, 2486, colourised:

Just a quick question. Who was the Patriarch of the Grey College during Mathilde's apprenticeship? I'm thinking about expanding.my time travel idea into an actual omake.

I wonder how one makes an inquiry of a god of another race...?

So the Great Deeds aren't really usable there... but we could try to talk to the Colleges themselves? Or the Articles don't allow for international projects like that? I'm just trying to understand if this is a jurisdiction issue, or you're saying it's impossible.

I'm pretty sure the dwarves asked Ranald about Mathilde, and he failed his will save not to fuck with them. Instead, he told them he stole a dawi soul from the warp, and what are they going to do about it, not be grateful for the recovered holds?

Guys, this doesn't sound like Boney only replying to specific objections until someone lands on the one that isn't a "No"
It's not gonna happen period.

By being a literally concave of demi-gods.
edit: well...some of them are living ancestors and not 'just' elders.
Of course, the Articles are laws of man, not a holy book. The Emperor, with the support of the other notables of the Empire, could amend them.
Not that it would be done casually, but the alliance with the dwarves is the Empire's oldest pledge. It's far older than the Articles in fact. If a dwarven king were to issue an invitation, "Let us jointly study magic for the benefit of the Empire of Sigmar and the Karaz Ankor," well... it
at least not beyond conception to see the Empire going, "Let's do it and be legends."

This has some interesting implications, could it result in the Dwarfs looking at humans differently, it might not be some natural thing that their work ends up so shoddy if someone with a dwarf soul can end up acting just like one when raised like one.
My dude, you are missing the point. Do we care that officially it's an imperial institution if de facto it's an international one?
It gets the job done.

Ranald, after remembering he is Ranald:Ranald after receiving an enquiry from the Karaz Ankor Conclave, 2486, colourised:
EDIT: I am not apologizing for the shit cropping, its new years, you try to actually do something approaching precision.
Under Imperial jurisdiction, magic can only be studied or performed by Magisters. Any international magical research project would have the problem that it would be bringing non-Magisters into Imperial jurisdiction for the purposes of studying magic, which is automatically a breach of the Articles.
The lines are a little blurred when it comes to Magnus the Pious.
Not really. The Gunnery School being set up in K8P was like if the High Elves asked for a branch college to be built on Ulthuan.
I feel like the Gunnery School is a very different animal as far as the empire is concerned.
They can only really learn stuff of the dwarfs in that area, e.g they have a lot higher chance of learning dwarf secrets than the other way around.
when it comes to magic, it's a bit more in the air who will give up/lose trade secret first.

So, now's it's time to think about things, all political like.
How can we draw the borders so that each side is happy and autonomous, yet full of happy coincidences where a runesmith goes "Bah! if only I had a way to better see the flow of those blasted winds I could have finished this project years ago!" and a student is like "Why do these things keep exploding? if only I had some way to better tame the winds into predictable, controlled parts!" and then they stare at each other from across the hall.

By my understanding, our most recent in depth look on Kislev is "Realm of the Ice Queen" where, apart from the mention of the opera, there are like three different mentions of something strange and powerful buried beneath Praag, INCLUDING one that's about the hag witches basically leaving Praag to it's own devices in part because of older and more powerful hag witches going 'don't worry about there, there's something buried beneath Praag that'll look out for Praag even if we're not there." Arianka specifically might not be part of the current canon, but SOMETHING being underneath Praag is and canon is very eager to gesture in Arianka's direction.

I'm trying to figure out if it's a blanket "you can't do that" or a "they can't say no." Case in point:
This is a hard no. Thus, joint research project does not work. We could still make a branch college though. It'll just mean less cooperation.
