But we did tell Panoramia we were interested, so yeah. its on the record.Well, technically, no. We voted to romance Panoramia. The dragon never got to the level of "profess romantic interest in," though it was close.

Citation? I haven't been able to find anything with Mathilde calling them by their names, except in inner monologue.
You wince as Asarnil's blade flicks out twice, faster than the eye can see, and a scream of pain rises from the Norscan as he clutches at his face. "Most notably," you continue, "he was blinded..." Asarnil circles his foe, and you wince again as the Elf's greaved leg lashes out with a crack of shattering bone. "And crippled by Khaine," you finish, almost drowned out by the second crack.
Ah. Khaine isn't one of the Four. Or, at least, that's what the elves claim, and he's one of their gods, so they should know, though the similarities between Khaine and Khorne are, uh, noteworthy. Khaine was even an option for patron deity at character creation separate from the question of whether we had been compromised by Chaos.
So yeah, it's an understandable thing to get confused about, but saying Khaine's name is not the same as invoking Khorne, the Violent One of the Four.[ ] Khaine: God of Blood, Battle and Murder, believed by some to be the brother of Morr. Khaine cults sometimes crop up among soldiers and mercenaries, and though made infamous by the worship of the Dark Elves, the High and Wood Elves also pay homage to him. It's the sort of thing best kept to oneself.
But other than that she seems to exclusively use epithets.You take a moment to digest that. "Okay, then... so we're still facing Slaanesh daemons, if anything. Do they have a Greater Daemon?"
Khaine's not a Chaos God, though? It's only directly mentioning the names of the Chaos Gods that Mathilde refrains from, the Order gods/goddesses are often and openly invoked directly by various characters.Don't know if it means anything but, well, here it is. I think that there are a few more but this was the first one I found.
Khaine, not Khorne, different people.
Khaine is elven god of murder and war and shit, Khorne is the chaos god.

The only example I've been able to find of Mathilde saying the name of one of the Four is this:
But other than that she seems to exclusively use epithets.
Citation for reasoning!Well, maybe this is nothing but I just felt that I should point this out.
Asarnil did because the field in which he grows his fucks is completely barren, and Mathilde echoed him because she was focused on the report instead of Chaos OSHA.Did Mathilde slip up on her training here? She tends to not use their names.
Inner monologue still counts, maybe.Citation? I haven't been able to find anything with Mathilde calling them by their names, except in inner monologue.
Hmm.The only other oddity is reports from Talabecland that there's been a fairly significant increase in the worship of Karnos, the local God of the Hunt.
Nah, Karnos (local god of Hunting) is most likely a mispronounciation of Kurnous (Elven god of Hunting).
The real crime here.The dragon never got to the level of "profess romantic interest in,"
What? No. We need it now.and now that we're voting to spend even less of our time in Karak Eight Peaks, a teleportation tower seems even less likely
Since they live in the Warp, shouldn't thinking their names have a qualitatively similar effect to saying them?Citation? I haven't been able to find anything with Mathilde calling them by their names, except in inner monologue.
I'd like to submit the theory of opposite being true. The Kurgans live up north and close to them. They are more likely to be cautious about their names out of sheer survivorship bias. And their versions all end with the same -eth ending, making it likely that it's a purposeful corruption.Most reputable scholars of the subject very cautiously agree that that Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle and Tzeentch are corruptions of Their true names, which are probably closer to how They're referred to in Dark Tongue: Karneth, Slaaneth, Nurgleth, and Tzeeneth. But many still find that shaky ground to bet your soul on.
Wowowow I finally caught up. This story is incredible. I didn't know anything about warhammer coming into it and still don't understand a lot of the references but it's been fun to follow along!
Some questions I had:
- Why did no one vote for the teleportation tower when Mathilde was building her tower? That seemed so cool! Teleporting!
- What's the plan for Gehenna's hounds?
- Why did Borek (Karg dum guy) gather hundreds of people together for an expedition to go to this castle just so he could abandon everyone and walk into it alone? Why didn't he just go by himself in the first place?? I was so confused at that part.
- Finally, y'all seriously voted to romance THE DRAGON??? 😂☠
We don't even need one. Mathilde can ride a gyro anywhere in range of the Karaz Ankor anyway. At worst you're looking at a 3 day round trip.And we could just spend the Dord Favor to finally get our own gyrocopter for basically the same result but with a significantly less action cost.

Yeah we have an open invite to borrow a gyrocopter, but getting our own allows us to do more personal stuff, especially since we plan to deal heavily with elves.We don't even need one.

We can paint it Red and make it go even faster.Yeah we have an open invite to borrow a gyrocopter, but getting our own allows us to do more personal stuff, especially since we plan to deal heavily with elves.
Really, we have personal travel on a lock. It's just on the other stuff that a personal gyrocopter is for. It's an option anyway.
"No, Panoramia."
Mathilde sat curled in her favourite chair, tongue half poking out the side of her mouth in that endearing way she had when engrossed in a particularly tricky magical problem, or juicy passage. Her shadow hovered over her shoulder, intent on whatever Mathilde was so focused on.
With a final series of bold horizontal strokes, Mathilde set her notebook down in her lap. Panoramia could see the sketch of a slimline two-seater gyrocopter, covered in runes, with speed lines behind.
"I don't think it's 'fair to say' I'm having a midlife crisis."
K8P-Altdorf and K8P-Stirland would still keep time down. Also, if there was any truth to the speculation that K8P-Altdorf was even possible, then building the primary tower in Altdorf in the first place might allow Laurelorn-Altdorf and then Altdorf-K8P.I don't see how. Surely you're not expecting to be able to make continent wide teleportation towers with bare enchanting and no ritual magic? The kind of scale of teleportation you're asking for so that its relevant to travel from K8P to Laurelorn is far beyond any result that can be expected of Mathildes current skills and we don't have the CF to bring in Grey magic specialists that might be more pussiant in this area.
You act like that's nothing. Even needing half a day to commute between one's job and one's family/girlfriend often means that one only sees them on the weekends. Three days would put it firmly into LDR with meetings for special occasions or during vacation only. And this is in an age before telephones.We don't even need one.

They do that. But their Shamans clearly still have a tradition of not naming god names lightly.The Kurgan ride on pilgrimage to Karag Dum to poke Morghur for mutations that can be potentially deadly. What you are proposing is not what is demonstrated on every step of the way to be true.
