And as there is some OOC reason to suspect the golden arm is in fact an Old One Magitech blaster, it might be Johanns' trippiest trip down jarringly-worldview-shattering-memory-lane yet.

"This is Magister Johann, we keep him here as a reminder of why we never use post-cognitive magic on Lizardman artifacts."
"That's just a frog?"
"Exactly."

The Imperials do not know the odd lizards make the strange magitech down south. We think they are all savages who ate the builders of the Lustrian cities or something.

I don't regret voting for Waystones, but having Mat go to Lustria and discover that those « primitives » have better wizards than the Elves would have been hilarious.

It occurs to me that if a Library charter (or a part-Library charter) won, BoneyM could be absolutely evil and have Horstmann show up as the most qualified potential librarian.

In-character, it'd be a no-brainer for Mathilde to recruit him. Out of character, we'd all spiral into paranoia because if he turns out to be a cultist, then this is a perfect opportunity for him to implement the sacrifice-rare-tomes-to-Tzeentch part of his canon plan, except worse because the reveal would tank Empire-Dawi relations.

That sounds fun! We should do that instead.

[JK] Plan Van Horstmann Best Librarian
-[JK] Branch College
--[JK] Headquarters: Secret Chaos Realm hidden inside Karag Nar
--[JK] Charter: Library (handling the magic subsection of the Great Library, sacrificing rare books to Tzeentch)
--[JK] Colleges: (all, but mostly Van Horstmann)
 
I do kind of want an ace gunslinger, though. With a dwarven revolver. And impossibly impractical showy tricks. And later he gets his arm sliced off by Mathilde the Ulgu Ninja.

...Er, wait, something weird just happened to my train of thought.

The colleges are at least aware that the Lizardmen have good wizards.

If nothing else, one of the Celestials Mathilde spoke with lost a magic duel against a Slann.

Notably, that was also the guy who could pull a star out of the sky, which is probably a highly dramatized description of Cassandora's Comet. So he was probably a badass.

Hubert had been quite informative, knowing better than to side against his dear teacher, and following his directions you make your way to the quarters of Magister Kereveld, who had sparred with young Hubert during his apprenticeship and seemed to have his head screwed on straighter than most. According to apprentice rumour, he had disdained using the stars to tell the future and instead used them to tell true north, and signed on to a flotilla to Lustria to seek his fortune. He instead found a continent filled with unfriendly reptiles, and after tearing a star from the sky to bludgeon a sea serpent and coming off second-best in a magical duel with some sort of magical frog, he had turned right back around, returned to Altdorf, and resolved never to leave his home continent again.

Here is the wizard and frog.

Not necessarily. He met a pissed off magic toad. That does not necessarily mean he was able to establish that the toads and the lizards were part of the same faction. Also the implication is that they have strong wizards. I doubt he got enough of a look at the magic to figure out anything about skill
