Lorebeards

There have been countless Warbosses from the various Greenskin tribes all across the Warhammer world, most of which fade into obscurity rather quickly. Yet every few centuries one Warboss will rise up to lead a WAAAGH! of such earth-shaking might that it changes the course of history or brings entire civilizations to their knees. In the annals of the Old World there is one such Orc Warlord that stands above all others such was the destruction he unleashed. Join Andy & Sotek as the Lorebeards get swept up in Gorbad Ironclaw's wake as he charges in to devastate the Old World!

Hidden near the frigid mountains of Kislev's mountains in the north of the Old World, madmen whisper about a monstrous city of vermin and abominations that burrows impossibly deep into the earth. Like an open, festering wound the Skaven city of Hell Pit belches corruption and fetid gases into the air that swell with warpstone dust and pour down greasy black rain which causes mutation and death. The Lorebeards are in their hazmat suits and ready to lead the brave and the bold down into the capital of Clan Moulder. Watch your step as nine circles of the beast-breeder and monster-maker clan await!

There are few titles more dreaded in the Warhammer world than that of Everchosen, those ultimate Champions of the Dark Gods that are fated to bring about the End Times. They are not guaranteed victory however, as the 12 Everchosens that came before Archaon would be struck down by the various forces arrayed against them. For how important these figures are in the fight for the entire world, being the only figures capable of uniting the various Legions of Chaos, there is surprisingly little lore to be found on most of them. There are some bits recorded about the 1st, 2nd, 11th, 12th, and final Everchosens, the rest remain totally mysterious. So of course the Lorebeards are up to the task of building a custom Everchosen to fill one of those empty slots! Enjoy as Sotek and Andy work with a live audience to craft a unique Everchosen from scratch and how they made their mark on the world.

In the northern wastes of the Warhammer world, there persist myths of how a once great empire rose under the control the mighty Kurgan tribes. Yet for all their supposed might, a far greater power emerged in the name of hateful vengeance in the form of the almighty Skulltaker. A terrifying daemon in the form of a Herald of Khorne that is the ultimate challenger of the Blood God, who exists to challenge any and all that claim themselves superior. Join the Lorebeards as we wipe away the copious gore covering the origins and history of Skulltaker and where the saga of this mighty daemon goes.

A very special episode Lorebeards has arrived as Andy & Sotek are joined by none other than Alfred Nunez Jr, often known as 'Mad Alfred'! One of the original writers to flesh out the Warhammer Fantasy Dwarfs back during 1st edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and a passionate map maker who has massively expanded the world with towns, villages, and cities of his own creation that may-or-may-not have been accidentally stolen by Games Workshop and various Games Workshop Licensers, particularly when it comes to Estalia and Tilea! So join the Lorebeards as they chat with a true legend of Warhammer Fantasy's history!

In the depths of cold fens and sucking bogs of Mallus (The Warhammer World) there persist myths and legends about terrifying mist daemons that prey humanity. If only the so-called 'civilized' races knew the truth of those lurking within their black stone towers squatting in the cursed mists. The Fimir, as they call themselves, are far older than any other race to be found upon the planet with the exception of fellow primordials like the Dragons and Dragon Ogres. There are ancient tales that whisper the Fimir were the first worshippers of the Dark Gods, tapping into the most basic of early sorcery to reach out to unformed monstrosities in the beyond. Despite being one of the first favored races of the Chaos Gods and leaping into ascendancy during the Great Cataclysm, the Fimir would ultimately fall from the favor of their Dark Masters into obscurity and ruin. Join the Lorebeards as they burn back the cursed mists of the Fimir and reveal the truth to be found in the marshes.

Another one of the bonus episodes, this time the Lorebeards return to their beloved "What If" series! Last time we wrestled with the idea of what if Lord Mazdamundi had taken over the Great Plan during the final years of the Warhammer World, but this time we have a fresh twist! Turning back the clock to near the beginning of the Warhammer World's timeline, we instead focus on the idea of 'What If Aenarion Had Survived the Cataclysm?' So rather than facing his death at the conclusion of the Cataclysm, he shall carry on living in the world that he helped save. What will be the consequences of this slight, but powerful change to the history of the world? Come and find out!

In a very unique episode, the Lorebeards will be checking out the Khuresh Fan Project headed up by 47KKR and his team. Combining their skills at lore, art, modding Total War Warhammer, and writing, these brilliant gentlemen have come together to create their version of the Blood Naga of Khuresh! So please sit back and relax while Andy and Sotek check out this incredible fan project which is so much more professional and lore-accurate than most official ones!

Is that a beautiful sunrise coming over the western horizon? Nay, it is the arrival of the Radiant One herself, Alarielle the Everqueen! The current Avatar of Isha, Alarielle is an incredibly important character who stands as the mortal representation of the Mother Goddess to the Elves. A powerful wizard and surprisingly capable against the Forces of Chaos, the Everqueen is one of the oldest known monarchs to be found within Warhammer and their story goes back thousands of years. Join Andy and Sotek as they set sail to the Gaen Vale to discover the truth behind the Everqueens and what we can learn from the tale of Alarielle the Radiant.

A growing series of popularity on the Lorebeards channel has been building things within the universe of Warhammer and allowing the community to guide many of the major decisions on whatever it is we craft. A perfect situation as it also allows us to teach about certain topics, in this case how Gods work within Warhammer Fantasy and discussing their function. So come along the journey as Loremaster of Sotek and Andy Law lead the chat on a journey to create a brand new God in the Warhammer world. Where will we end up? What will it look like? What are the domains of its power? Who will worship it? Let's find out!
