I...Sorry you post got lost in moderation for a bit. I think both questions are answered by this passage from The Realmgate Wars vol 4. - All Gates (p. 243):<br /><br />"The battle for control of the Mortal Realms continued. While gods and demigods pondered their next moves, and the Sigmarabulum rang to the hammer blows of Reforging, an insidious evil was taking form, solidifying out of the pure madness that was the Realm of Chaos. <br /><br />Nine in number, the Gaunt Summoners hailed from the Crystal Labyrinth. There, the coven had created the Whisperfane – an impossible mind-maze filled with deadly illusions, and one of the dreaded Silver Towers. With a push of their unfathomable minds, the Gaunt Summoners could shift these twisted citadels into the reality of the Mortal Realms. There, many a brave warrior would be lured inside with promises of riches untold. Many entered, yet few returned.<br /><br />Plans within plans, plots within plots. Who can tell the endgame of those cabalistic sorcerers? Their methods are insane, their goals inscrutable – yet it is said in ancient and little-understood rhymes that ‘death becomes the smallest fear when the Silver Towers appear’.<br /><br />Fear them, for they are coming…"Merijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716366155171452512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012284992465362345.post-44772927949508471052018-07-16T19:47:37.646+02:002018-07-16T19:47:37.646+02:00Sorry to comment so long after the conversation st...Sorry to comment so long after the conversation started out, but I was wondering where you came across the information linking the Silver Tower to the name "Whispervane"? <br /><br />For context, I'm not incredibly well-versed in the lore of AoS (trying to catch up, and I found this post REALLY helpful- so, thank you), but I am trying to find out 1) where the Silver Tower in the game is located in the mortal realms, or 2) if the Silver Tower(s) exist(s) simultaneously in multiple realms, if there are any known and recorded manifestations (preferably shown on a map).noahcgjohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173281026473088588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012284992465362345.post-42338938638148731412017-06-16T22:16:03.240+02:002017-06-16T22:16:03.240+02:00Thanks.

As for shoehorning the new stuff into the old world, I would say Shadespire gives you a choice between placing it in Lahmia or going wild and having (insane) warbands raiding around Sylvania. The flying dwarves are actually easier. Just call them Malakai Makaisson's followers. That Slayer Engineer had a rather gigantic airship in one of the Gotrek and Felix novels if my memory serves me right.

The miniatures are of course great... just harder to figure out how to shoehorn them into my WHFB armies. ;)Lasgunpackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529298072677726064noreply@blogger.com
