I was telling Siegfried VII that if he is, he should get Brian's permission to remake the MK Guild. I think he's waiting until he has the book in his hand though first, to see what exactly they've done.

We have a completely new character for that, heard of the Loremaster
Prince Deral Lionbane, head of the House of Lionbane, Lord of Lionstone and Warden of Tor Charta
Luna, try not to beat them too hard. They are proud about their pseudo-glorious past and their present nothingness, you know.

Anyone else think the character of the new mage knight a little amusing. But of an over achiever, but never really stuck at anything long enough to get good at it. Just couldn't decide on his major when studying, and before he knew it he's graduating without mastering anything. Perhaps he just spent an afternoon watching YouTube videos on how to do it (isn't that how we all become 'experts'?)

He's also going to be one of the most useful casters in the game. I don't care about mastering everything. He's mastered enough to be awesome already!

This pretty much describes me...
And yeah - the Gem is dead, long live the Loremaster. He's pretty much everything I've ever wanted in a High Elf character choice.

It might be possible.
Also, don't discount the Dragon Mage! His Lore may be much more limited, but he makes up for it with his mighty scaled steed. Now that he can wear armor, this guy might start showing up in lists as a combat mage.
I'm really looking forward to rocking the original flame chicken (dragon mage). I took him to a tm a few months ago and he had some fun. He's a great combo with LSG core, and now he can be armoured properly and has 3+ scaly skin (not to mention a s4 breath weapon), he'll make a nice counter point to a dual Phoenix list if I can get the points to fit. Thinking a loremaster, ridden flame Phoenix, dragon mage and a frost Phoenix in rare. Target saturation!

This. I just want to make sure the character exist (although it is almost 99,9% sure my now anyway). I'm sure we'll have plenty to discuss regarding the Loremaster, his builds, his uses etc...

Hey fellow mage knights! I have a conundrum: how to make the loremaster into a one man magic phase. Given his potential points cost and the limits on our ability to generate power dice, I can't see me affording or getting proper use out of both him and a Lvl 4. Spell selection alone would drive me more crazy than my opponent. So how do you rule a magic phase based on a Lvl 2 caster, potentially with the book, and no guaranteed big dice advantage? I suppose you could draw out dispell dice, but you probably need to use as many dice as your opponent. Perhaps the aim would be to get down to 2 dice to you and have used all your opponents dispel dice, and fire off two spells on single dice? I'd be interested to hear how you'd approach him.
Mage Knights are a reality again, at least in the 9th Age, no the Radiant Gem isn't back, even better, Honours.
