What about two humble and codependent necromancers?
You know I just mentioned the old chestnut about dwarf necromancers in one of my quests in response to old 1st Edition lore and then I realized, thanks the the Conclave of the Ancestor Cults and the fact that she has the Liber Mortis Mathilde is probably the only person in the history of the world who could actually become a dwarf necromancer. Not really an honor we want just something I thought would be cool to share.

I suppose that it makes sense that the first dwarf necromancer would follow ancient traditions and spend a lot of time studying to make sure they do it right before ever casting their first necromantic spell.

Not especially keen on the reanimation of the necromancy prospect (badum-tiss)-
-but I think I figured out how Ranald pulled off the Soul Heist, if indeed there was such a heist.
Gotri is for sure scoring well, but I feel Ranald's bet is ahead on points at this time. He neglected to mention to Morgrim that He'd be putting the soul inside a Wizard.

Ranald made a bet with Morgrim- to swap Gotri's Umgi Nuln Engineer soul for Mathilde's Dawi Ranger soul- over who would turn out more... amusing, Radical, inventive and disruptive to the status quo.

Well, if you believe an old-and-debatably-official Halfling army list, in 30 years time he's still adventuring in the Moot with his three traveling companions- Aragand, Legles, and Giblit.

I think this is a case of Ranald being too clever for his own good, and Morgrim of all gods got the drop on him.
Morgrim, watching Mathilde being instrumental to the reclamation of K8P, rescue Vlag, and all the other shenanigans she did.
"hah, you really got me this time Ranald, alas, you won the bet, woe is me, how could I live with Mathilde being so helpful the the dwarves..."
Edit: now I think what shenanigans would a rune poker Gotri would have come up with.
Not familiar, but I assume a gandalf expy? Human wizard of what lore?

You know what I want to see? A social action or something trying to figure out how, exactly, that Conclave came to the conclusion Mathilde was actually a dwarf soul. I'm just really curious if there was something actually going on there, or if it really was just cultural impetus.

The old army list I mentioned had a group called the Comradeship, with one of them being a Grey Wizard named Olorin.

Heh, possible that Boney cribbed it from there, but that is an easy reference that I won't be surprised if it was made independently several times, warhammer is filled with it if you look in the right places.
Of course, I still hasn't found something to top 40k all time champion in that regard, the first named inquisitor ever, Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau.
...to be fair it was at the time of the first edition when the lore was a bunch of writer throwing funny things at the wall and was half a parody.

Ah yes, the Inquisitor of whom nothing is known about beyond his (very silly) name and the pocket dimension coat where he stashes all the guns on his equipment list.

See, an inquisitor so good at secrecy and working in the shadow as their kind needs to be, that he managed to sneak beyond the fourth wall and hide his abilities and most of his history from even the writers.

Before coffee was widely available the safe drink of choice was alcohol. Coffee is a stimulant well alcohol is a depressant. The time of the switch is known as the enlightenment.

This is stunningly oversimplifying things.
Besides the fact that the period before the enlightenment gets a bad reputation despite the innovation that did occur during that time, there were many factors that helped contribute to the enlightenment. Of those, coffee did play a part, but I would argue that it was more due to the development of cafes that provided spaces for intellectuals to speak with each other while drinking coffee than due to the effects of the drink itself.

Dang, I guess his joke didn't meet standards of academic rigour. And here I thought it was peer reviewed.

The combination of my love of history and hate of coffee makes me pedantic.Dang, I guess his joke didn't meet standards of academic rigour. And here I thought it was peer reviewed.
Edit: I do apologize for being so irritable in my response. Sorry about that.

This passage confuses me, because it says only the face on the throne is one we recognize, but then it lists a bunch of faces near her (who would presumably be in front of us) whom we also recognize.

By the sound of it, it's the same underlying mechanism as Wyssan's, just concentrated on a single exceptional target instead of an entire rank-and-file unit.

Each individual sentence is factual.
