Lore, Careers and Questions

Nice of you to turn yourself in.

Anybody knows what the latest post was about?

I’m curious to know what the imperial messenger is reporting, but I guess we’ll find out next week. I haven’t got the faintest about Lohner’s dream, though, I just find it disturbing.

Not so sure. At the moment it seems they are dragging the chronicles with filler content. Lohner’s dream doesnt do much for me in terms of world building, unless this leads to some obscure reason to return to Ubersreik once more. At the moment I guess it only adds on the “bad premonitions” everyone gets.

No, it’s pretty clear: Versus Mode will be released next week.

Franz Lohner’s Chronicle - Career Convection — Warhammer: Vermintide 2

At least a bit more interesting today. Opens up more choices for a potential fourth career. Or it is just to solify her new found belief that personal values and own justice stands above silly institutions.

But Grandmaven of the Endless Conflagration is a pretty cool title. Hard to turn that down.

Interesting stuff with Sienna. It may or may not be a hint for her future career.

Knowing that we’re all (im)patiently awaiting Sienna’s next career, this has to be some sort of hint towards it (I mean “Career” is in the name). The fact that it’s the College and not something deity related I feel is the hint. I’m not versed in the lore beyond what I read from here and the Reddit but I’ve always felt Master Vigilant as the most likely from the possibilities. Couldn’t the College asking her back be a hint towards that? Would also tie in to the talks of Sofia as MVs go after Necromancers

Sienna as a Master Vigilant would be a sight as she’s probably going to go 40k inquisitor level of collateral damage and burning down the whole town in pursuite for a single rogue magic user.

EDITED: Not saying that it can’t happen, but such a thing would be a sight.

I think it is a hint that it is not going to be tied to the College of Magic

the Bright College are reaching out to their, ahem, brightest and best and trying to lure them back to Altdorf. The idea, I suppose, is to hand down the college’s scattered experience in as simple and efficient a way as possible. And if that means Altdorf has a few more senior flame heads to send out to defend the borders, then so much the better.

Implying that if she would join the CoM she would be beholden to different engagement, which do not suit the U5

Time was, Sienna didn’t want anything more. Maybe that’s still the case, maybe it ain’t, but it doesn’t change the fact the Ubersreik Five need her. I’m not taking her place, not with my knees.

And with Out of world knowledge we know she is staying

Olesya’s Dispatches - Bardin’s breakfast device — Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Again, so much “filler” with no news concerning the lore surrounding the Ubersreik 5. Just to drop something interesting in the very last paragraph:

“In your next letter, give me any news you may have concerning the necromancers operating in your part of the world. No, not the ones from the old days. I’m interested in someone new - you’ll know her by her fiery disposition.”

Seems that Sofia is visitting Bretonnia. So that would move her from Estalia away. And it would mean that now at least two characters (three if we take the simply Lileath connection) are lore-wise invested in Bretonnia. Wondering if we will soon hear about Gorekson’s offspring appearing around Bretonia which would - given with the emphasis on these lore points by Be’lakor - create more and more reason for the U5 to visit the frog- and snail-eaters. When for some reason Be’lakor also starts showing interest to Bretonnia and Victor following suit then it will go full blast there.

Franz Lohner’s Chronicle - Stature — Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Bardin best dwarf. Not sure where and how to sort in that comment about Catrinne and the “lower orders”. Is that referencing something?

Other than that, the current content of the FLC’s as well as the now bi-weekly release seems to me a bit that they intended to be further in development and release already. Like there is some actual content planned which has been hinted by the FLC’s and on which newer one will build on but the delay in development now means they also have to delay the lore pieces.

You know, that’s a pretty good observation. My guess is that whatever it is that is supposed to have been released already, is something that has to do with Sienna’s sister somehow. Latest lore pieces all seemed to build up to her. Maybe it also has to do with Sienna’s new class that has been confirmed delayed?

I took it to mean she’s nobility. Unless I’m missing some lore.

Didn’t they just skip 1 for the holidays? It’s happened before

Damn. Well, I do hope that it’s temporary. Regardless, they have been champs for keeping these up for as long as they did.

Trail of Treachery… mentions of ghosts… might we finally face Sophia??

Maybe, her being a ghost would be the most fitting undead

Banshee are supposed to be Witches that fear parring the threshold due to deals they have made with the Daemon folks

Do Ghosts and Necromancers belong together in Warhammer Lore? Last I heard she was still in Bretonnia. As for where we are going … Tockstadt … a quick search did not yield any results. It sounds empiry.

The title could be related to Sofia although her treachery happened long ago. Will be interesting to see where this goes story-wise.

Well she was burned on a spire wasn’t she ? So she could easily still be active as a Banshee

Banshees, are the bitter, restless spirits of long-dead sorceresses, enchantresses and witches that have in life plagued the lands of the Old World for centuries. They fear crossing the void to face whatever punishment awaits them for their evil deeds, and so it is an easy matter for a Vampire to bind them to his service.

That way we can have a Banshee lord working under the binding of Nameless who work alongside the Nurgle Chosen and has disseminated it’s agents in the different spots.

So in a way, they fit together, it’s unclear if Banshee can have magical abilities, I think a named one could in the Rpg
