    If my memory serves me, the duel between Gelt and the Bright College patriarch was described in the White Dwarf magazine when Balthy was first introduced. The duel went more or less like this: The bright wizard thought that Gelt's challenge was laughable, and was sure of victory, since he only had to stay away from Gelt, whose touch would turn him to gold. The moment the fight started, he unleashed a blast of fire at Gelt, who conjured up a metal shield to protect himself. The bright wizard wanted to finish the fight quickly and turned the beam fo fire into a continuous ray of deadly heat. Gelt's shield began dissolving, and the bright wizard focused all his power into the beam. Just before Gelt's shield failed, the fire mage realized that his legs were beginning to turn into gold. His focus lost, he stopped the spell, and Gelt walked up to the staff and took it, with his opponent half-gold. Gelt explained that he used the heat ray as a conduit to 'touch' his opponent, and that magic of metal is an amalgam of several winds of magic, fire wind included. The fire patriarch then pledged his fealty, with just his head not yet solid gold, and Gelty released him so ghat they can both fight the enemies of the empire.
    That is what i remember. I may be messing up the details, it's been ages since I read that.

      Yep, that's the one in 6th edition I referenced just below. See Warhammer Armies: The Empire (2000), p. 54.
      Gelt: "Thyrus Gormann, you forgot that the essence of Metal is in equal parts Stone and Fire. This has caused your defeat. I could take your life now, but the Empire needs your powers against its many enemies, your Order requires your leadership, and I would rather have you as a friend. Do you recognise my authority?"
      Gormann: "Aye, you won the duel in a fair fight. You are our Supreme Patriarch now and you will have my respect and my loyalty... until we meet again here, in eight years."
      Gelt: "I'll be ready, Gormann. I'll be ready."

    The 6ed Empire army book has the official story on how he became Supreme Patriarch. It basically comes down to him and the current Supreme Patriarch (Fire). He turns the fire magic of his opponent against him and it ends with the fire wizard encapsulated in metal (doesnt kill him though). From then on Balthasar Gelt is the Supreme Patriarch.

      @@8eewee Well, gold is much, much denser than bone. You'd probably gain about a hundred pounds or more immediately.
      This would also likely cause your shins to break- or at the very least bend into being useless. I'd bet that would be rather painful. If you had the misfortune to fall on your chest or back, either could easily become seriously deformed- possibly killing you outright and definitely making life difficult. Breathing would be difficult in either case.
      Without blood platelets, you'd become deathly anemic. Might take a while to die from that, but effectively you are suffocating because there is nothing to carry the oxygen from your lungs to other parts of the body.

      Nevermind the fact that even if you survive this somehow, your bonemarrow being turned to gold means you can't produce red or white blood cells anymore. So if you're lucky, a cold takes your now massively immunocompromised self out before your cells effectively suffocate, as your body is unable to transport enough oxygen to them.

      @dylkiller3501 Год назад

      Pure gold can also bend from pure muscle strength alone. Even if your head didn't cave in, a much more painful death would be possible. Swinging a sword would snap your arm, taking a step would break your leg, turning your head would snap your neck, and screaming in agony only would bend your jaw like the world's worst bendy straw. Your body would literally be tearing yourself apart and stabbing you from the inside with gilded shards of snapped metal.

    "Gelt" is just antiquated German for "money".
    Jiddisch, the language used by central European Jews, is a mixture of a lot of languages, but most prominently German. This is also why a lot of the Jews that migrated to the US have German surnames.
    Contrary to common belief, surnames ending in "Berg" are not specifically Jewish, they are specifically German. ("Berg" - "Mountain")
    "Ashkenazi" translated means: "German". It derives from "Ashkenaz" - "Germany".

This is the greatest reward, more than even gold, for the fate of your soul is an eternal concern. Now come, follow me.

    I don’t quite get the Etymology of Gelt, as it is literally an old german word for money. The current one being Geld.
    And Gelt coming from it “Es gelte/ gilt “
    meaning somewhat along the lines of “It’s valid, it is worth.”
    Yes. Hannuka Gelt is a thing, but now guess where the name Gelt came from.
    Well. I mean unless the lore is weirdly antisemitic (or maybe openly and very weirdly celebratory) as materialistic jewish oligarchs with no regards for human lives seem to be abundant, especially from the east european countries where Hanukah Gelt comes from I would think he’s less… that and more an opportunistic idealist.
    But now that I think about it, it would truly be fitting. Eh. Not that it matters. I won’t judge anyone fighting back in nam.

    • @CaptainPrincess
      @CaptainPrincess 2 года назад

      old warhammer lore does have a healthy sprinkling of Classic Bigotry here and there so it would be just as reasonable for Gelt to be kind of antisemetic
      MODERN GW are ofc trying to fix things but theyre not going back and completely rewriting everything from scratch so the old writing will peek its ugly head now and again, its just the way of things
