There's also the fact that in-Quest the former MP of the Grey Order was named Olorin, which is another of Gandalf's name.
Don't make posts like this.
So, placing my bets on the next social, Eike is the short bet, as it just makes sense to visit her while in Altdorf.
But my long bet is on 'Social interaction initiated by someone else', as these trips to the city seem to historically be the times that people try and get in contact with the even harder than normal to catch lady grey wizard.
And my stretch bet is that it will be the Grand Theogonist that will try and get a meeting with us.
because if I was a member of Holy Schism quest, I would really want to know what is going on with this 'Lady Weber' whose name seems to be popping up around the Elf-thing, seems to be starting a two steps from heretical organisation, and who just magic some dwarfs back into reality this turn.

Honestly, I was thinking that Thorgrim would want to talk with Mathilde.
I thought that he largely gave up on that, by Word of Boney.

though I'm not convinced that he didn't still want to talk to her, but that he just got sick of a certain god making sure that he never got to be in the same city.
Thorgim: Ok fine, you bloody cat, but I'm making sure you get a grudge added to the deal!

Considering the last die roll, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a surprise Eshin-friend visit.
It's a long shot, but not my longest by a long shot.

Would be funny if we got something similar to the meeting with the Al-Ulric, who I'm pretty sure thought Mathilde was a devout ulrican on account of Wolf, just with the Grand Theogonist spending the meeting thinking that she's a devout sigmarite since she has spent most of her life aiding dwarves.
I'm confident that the comment 'all wolfs are born of Ulric, but not all die of him' means that the Al-Ulric knows that Wolf is a ranalded puppy.

Pity the agendas didn't line up though. Would have been nice to look upon Thorgrim with windsight like we did Roswita.
I wonder how much Shyish and Ulgu there would have been in Thorgrim when he was in the "my people are all going to die, and i am the only one allowed to know"
And what he looks like now that he has some hope.
More Chamon probably, for logical planning, and some Azyr, as the hope that his people have a future beyond him sinks in.
Dwarves cannot have ambient Winds inside of them without slowly petrifying, and to prevent this they undergo the rites of Valaya shortly after birth to keep ambient Winds out.

I'm not, that could just as easily be in reference to Wolf's status as a familiar.
(Which is not too say that he thought Mathilde was an Ulrican)

Oops, forgot about that.
So our windsight lie detector doesn't work on dwarfs then?
Good thing dwarfs are typically terrible liars
It doesn't really work on people. It only tells you what someone is feeling, not why they're feeling it. Someone might be full of Ulgu because they're lying to you, or because they're trying to remember the lyrics to a song.

Ah, yes, the time when Mathilde nearly shanked the messenger from the Chancellor. (Okay, I'm exaggerating, but still...)

The only way he would know that Mathilde is faithful is if he noticed that Wolf was a boon from Ranald.

Think my initial read on that exchange was the Al-Ulric saying that Wolf wouldn't "die of Ulric" since he was now a familiar, but that being a familiar to an ulrican was the least bad reason for not dying "of Ulric". The "one faithful to another" wasn't him seeing that she was a ranaldian (ranaldite?), but rather him still assuming she was an ulrican. That said I would have to go back and reread it, this is just me going off the vibe I got from the chapter on my initial read-through and seeing the quotes now.
He is a high priest, and we can not only see divine magic but identify which god it belongs too. If we can do that, he almost certainly can as well, unless Ranald was intentionally hiding himself, which to be fair is something he would do.
But I think it's safe to assume that if he saw the familiar bond, he saw the touch of Ranald as well. It's not like we make any attempt to hide it.
My reading of the "one faithful to another" bit might just be a way of saying "follower [of Ranald] to follower [of Ulric]" instead of "wizard to high priest" or "Dame to an Elector". He was inviting us to speak as an equal.
It's like the Starke thing all over again. The thread assumed that he assumed that we were faithful to Sigmar, when all he did was ask us if we were faithful. And we are faithful. We use our 26pts of Piety to pray to an approved god. Assuming a faithful person in a polytheistic society is faithful to the same god as you is, in my opinion, a little bit foolish, and I can't see either the Ar-Ulric or Starke making that mistake.
