I think it is more likely to cause issues between the Colleges and the Court, than between us and the Colleges. They would probably understand that we are taking a sensible career choice and not hold it against us. However, we might see a reduction on what we can expect from the college and almost certainly not become Patriarch: not becuase they dislike us, but because they want their affairs separate to that of court.
Belegar is a great boss, but for those hoping he becomes High King, keep in mind that the realities of the Dwarven Inheritance does not favor that possibility as much as you might think:
Belegar becoming High King means ruling over two Holds at the same time, unprecedented and radical by Dwarven standards, making it unlikely to occur without extreme circumstances. It would also give him even more stress as he will have further divided loyalties, trying to split his attention equally between KaK & K8P otherwise his rulership might be called into question as biased.
I'd rather even label it as a mostly diplomatic project, making Asrai, High Elves, Dwarfs, human Order wizards and most likely human non-order older magical traditions all work together and share information they didn't want to share for millenia.
Boeny has said again, again, that they will not turn the quest into a Traditional CK-Quest
I would not say that if we gain some personal favor with the Elector Counts and the other people we might actually get the Colleges as an institution a place in selecting the emperor and other imperial duties. This will help in the independence of the Colleges and allow them to never again lose their place in Imperial society after the loss of legality thanks to that horrible time. This might be our excuse in ensuring that the Laws and Ideals of Sigmar's empire would benefit our primary loyalty and this is not politics but ensuring the stability of the Imperial House in the name of the Colleges.
Belegar proves once more that he's the best Dwarf that has ever Dwarfed. When he walks into the Glittering Realm, the Dawi are going to be standing on parade to welcome him in.
Good Lord that's a lot of interesting stuff... Fire dragons? Dragon diplomacy is Fun™ but so much other cool things as well.
Ah, Rosie has learned that it's best to just throw us at the problem and then step aside.
And we're officially a bad influence on Ranald. Our heroic tendencies are rubbing off on Him. I'm not certain whether to be concerned or not.
As long as you don't run afoul of the first point: the ideals of Sigmar's empire and many will argue that we'd be breaking them at the slightest excuse.
Actually, most might get interested in this because being able to influence the Imperial House has long been the dream of the Colleges and if the next emperor becomes the product of the Colleges' upbringing then we will be upstaging the Golds then because they've got Karl Franz so the Greys should have Mandred with Ranald's blessing all over him how is he not going the perfect material for our college's expertise and beliefs.
Disaster averted, for now at least.
That is incredibly tempting.
She has come a long way. Might be something to do with being the longest lived Stirland EC in living memory. She actually thinks she has time to think long term.
That is actually somewhat disturbing. I was given to understand Mathilde's dismissal was due to the possibility of her exploding, not a matter of being unreliable.
Ha! Yeah that makes sense. She has watched Mathilde conjure miracle after miracle on behalf of Belegar. Seen what a few months of her attention did for the war against the vampires. Now she is thinking about how things could have gone with her working full time.
This very much seems like the sort of 'loophole' that the Grey College would string a noose around. Wouldn't prompt immediate trouble but it will have very scary people looking at us very closely for any sign of indiscretion.
That… actually doesn't seem too bad. Mathilde is at best an amateur at actual political shenanigans. However for problem solving in the area of smiting unusual enemies she is amongst the best. Being the Empire's bugbear slayer has some attraction.
I think this is the first time someone in-universe has tried to appeal to the Boat Faction.
Obviously not - but I meant do our own research into the basics on our own as a side gig so that when we do take it up as our main focus, we don't have to have someone explain the absolute basics to us since we already know it.
I think this is missing an "of" between incarnation and Cor-Dum
Earlier in this section, you referred to Cor-Dum as "it"; here you use "he."
This sentence feels very slightly wrong. Maybe it should be either "An entirely new form twisting who we are" or "An entirely new form of twisting of who we are"?
Hunh. Well, I was wrong, and the people who proposed that logical argument as something Belegar would find convincing were right. We made the right call on that last vote.
...hunh. The Loremaster-at-Large position definitely feels like a "hang out in K8P and then go on random adventures" job from this. I'm kind of super in favor of it now, since we can do research in our off-hours while at home in K8P and still satisfy the folks who want ADVENTURE.
And she just rolls with the wordplay. I love Roswita.
Is this meant to be "shitty" or "shirty"? I expected the latter, but the former works too, I suppose.
I straight laughed at this. I'd say you don't choose your family, but Roswita probably has a couple times by now, hah.
If you really like to explore new world, then go ahead vote for it, I'm not going to.
