Age of Sigmar background round up

[Mr Mystery]

As someone who doesn't often meet someone bigger than them, meeting someone bigger than me that wants to hammer my head into my chest would be pants fillingly worrying

Second book in the Kalxus series is up....sadly can't get it until Friday because payday.

[Mr Mystery]

Right then. OP updated with the second part of the Black Rift of Klaxus (which features a Khornate Warrior Woman. Yeah. Take that Sigmar. God of Skulls is an equal opportunities psychopath!

Didn't Khorne have a woman leading an entire invasion force just a few months ago? Like, THIS year. I think it wasn't more than three or four months back. So how is a warrior news when we recently had a general? Nice to see her in there, but given that a Khorne woman's already messed up stuff for Sigmar in the past, he probably already recognizes the equal opportunity workplace that the frothing blood legions represent.

Erik, while I do get what you're saying, are you aware of how your phrasing comes across as? It sounds like you are saying "Well there was a woman a few months ago, so we don't need to have any more women." Whereas many of us would like there to be, oh, 50% women? We'd settle for a third of characters overall really. That doesn't seem too many to ask for, it's still grossly outnumbered.

Until then we will phrase any god that figures out that once you start adding mutations, the starting stock isn't important, and when your core requirement is "capable of murderous bloodlust" and "does not object to the sight of blood" I kind of think women have enough of an edge that Khorne would realistically have a heck of a lot MORE.

And now making my way through Ghal Maraz.

Dunno if it's greater familiarity with the background or what, but this is a more enjoyable read than Gates of Azyr.

[Mr Mystery]

First story expands on the quest for Alarielle some.

Really interesting character development across the board - and you really, REALLY do not want to annoy Alarielle ever. Hideously, hideously hard!

Just starting the second story now, which is about the quest for Ghal Maraz. Opening is a prologue set 'many centuries ago' - and deals with Celemnis, a Swordmaiden who I suspect becomes The Silver Maiden - so we have our second female protagonist, of sorts.

[Mr Mystery]

Right, non-review rundown of Ghal Maraz now added to the OP.

[Mr Mystery]

Call of Archaon Pt3 - The Solace of Rage now downloaded. Shall read on the way home and update accordingly.

Wonder if Mr Haley has been able to inject some kind of character into Khornate troops?

[Mr Mystery]

OP all updated.

Got to say, the stories are getting better and better.

Great news on the female characters!
