I mean, I honestly can't see the Grey College losing here. Their base quite literally doesn't exist, can open new entrances in weird places to resupply, and is ridiculously hard to even detect (let alone access).
You try besieging a group that you can't even find, and which can literally Teleport supplies in if you somehow counter their whole "invisible flying agents" thing.
I also can't see the Grey College actually winning a fight against the entire Empire, but that's not really the point 😓
Other colleges seem to be less well-defended than the GC (if only because they have a physical location that can be shelled back to the stone age) but they often have whole traditions focused around hiding out in the wilderness + secondary campuses. They'd suffer, but I'd expect several of them to survive in some form.
And of course right now they could probably emigrate to K8P, because the Greys have been doing some sword-Diplomacy

The Amber College could probably survive for a very long time. They have no definite base of operation and their entire shtick is surviving by themselves in the wilderness. They could hide and wage a guerilla war in Empire forces and hardly ever get caught. The more powerful wizards would especially cause problems with Kadon: changing into a dragon, attacking vulnerable position then flee and change back into human.

I am almost sure all of them would survive somehow. The hedgewise have managed to survive for literal millennia of everyone trying to burn them all at the stake, mostly because they serve a function in rural communities, one the local priests of Sigmar cannot match no matter how much they huff and they puff.

IIRC only three of the colleges in quest canon were actually under siege. The rest they couldn't figure out how to access, or in the case of the Grey couldn't even figure out where the entrance was, or in the case of the Amber went "...I'm not going first" the entire 15 years.

Eru Illuvatar? *cocks pistol* You mean Sigmar, right mortal? Right, Mortal?Now, i am not saying that we should forge magic rings to hand out to elector counts, that are connected to another magic ring we keep for ourselves.
But i am hinting at it quite heavily.

I mean I don't even know why people want us to be sauron at this point. We're one set of fireworks away from being Gandalf.
Edit: In hindsight, Perhaps Drakenhof was our fireworks.

So you're saying we should give the Liber Mortis to a Halfling?

Nah, as the Magical artifact we got from someone else, it clearly needs to be kept in the family.
Probably wont show any hidden messages in fire though.
Given that the thing is wrapped in spells of protection, likely Dhar ones odds are the attempt to throw it into a normal fire will send a message. Tragically the message will be: 'Die!'

I'd expect they were remembering the original Enemy Within campaign, not the reboot.You remember correctly, but we don't actually know what the motive was behind the law. Maybe it was to stop driving mutants into crime and heresy, or maybe it was some other reason. It's supposed to be revealed in the upcoming The Empire in Flames, but that's still two Enemy Within books away.

Who has the right to do such things by the way? How did that Fat Emperor manage to give an Elector position to the Moot?
Two Chaos Gods would be wholly inadequate at manipulating anything like a parliament. One Chaos God could only really do a supercharged version of bribery and corruption. Only Tzeentch would have a chance of more serious shenanigans and if you don't give the Commons too much power then that danger shouldn't be to great.
On the other hand, I am currently listening about the French revolution on the "Revolutions" podcast and ho boy was that a mess. Let's just say that if an Emperor says that everyone should freely and without censorship discuss the problems they have and then elect representatives to some kind of legislative body there's a good chance that all four aspects of Ranald are going to have such a field day that you might mistake him for a Chaos God.
Hmm. Who else could be given an Elector seat to balance that out? A worldly one would require conquest and I remember that the Taalites and Rhyans didn't want one. Is the same true for Morrites and Verenans? I guess the Ulricans could get a second one? Maybe Nordland related as to not just give the Ar-Ulric two votes?
We should make some trinkets for our friends. Nine of them should have enchantments to summon Shadow Horses and then we can give those to various Human knights and lords. Seven we create with Johann that give his Windsight ability even to Dwarves. Three unique ones for our friends in Laurelorn that we hire Elementalists for, so that they provide something even Teclis can't. Just Fire, Air and Water though. Earth is more of a Dwarf thing. And one we make just for us. On that one we start with invisibility and then layer more and more enchantments on it over time.

Funnily enough, only the Emperor seems to be able to propose new candidates for having a vote in the Elector's Meets. Given that Karl's attempt to make the Supreme Patriarch have a vote failed, it probably got changed after the days of Ludwig the Fat, where the Emperor could seemingly just do it by their own authority without anyone being able to gainsay them.
Hell, the whole (inglorious) reason why the Cult of Sigmar even has their votes is because the Grand Theogonist of the time lavished so many fine dinners onto Ludwig that he died from heart failure.

"the silver savage" is what Mathilde means in Eltharin

Asarnil called her Ma-thil, which in Eltharin means "silver savage". Since we're a skilled swordswoman from the Queen of the Silver Depths (aka Karak Eight Peaks), Mathilde accepted the moniker.
"Dawongr" means "dwarf friend", "Azrildrekked" means "the one that ended the silver journey" and can be interpreted as "the one who reclaimed Karak Eight Peaks", and "Dawizhufokri" means "dwarf torrent crafter" and is a reference to the time that Mathilde "crafted a torrent of living dwarves" by rescuing the Okral, while also calling her a "dwarf-like wizard", since "torrent crafter" is the polite dwarven term for a wizard.

The Silver Savage comes from when we recruited Asarnil for the KD Expedition:
Azrildrekked:
Dawizhufokri: Combine Dawi, meaning dwarf, and zhufokri, meaning 'torrent-crafter' or wizard.

I think there might have been an element of "all the other provinces were on board with screwing with Stirland and Averland".
That or, like, lots of bribery. The Empire has had a long, storied history of political corruption, and this period was the corruption-est.
