Lorebeards

Amidst the usual chaos of Lorebeards, a trio of episodes shall stand out as being parts of a larger whole! For the Old World has returned from the realm of Morr to delight us all once more, but that comes with quite the long list of changes to the lore! So join Andy and Sotek as they delve into what all has changed about the lore of Warhammer Fantasy since the End Times!

Join Andy Law and Loremaster of Sotek as we venture into the haunted deserts known to most as the Land of the Dead. Here we'll explore a fair bit of lore not only about the fallen nation of Nehekhara, but also about the Tomb Kings themselves all in pursuit of understanding the one and only King of Kings. That's right, Settra the Imperishable has arrived on Lorebeards at long last to grace listeners with his divine presence! So let's make sure to show proper respect towards Khemrikhara lest we draw his ire. Settra Does Not Serve! Settra RULES!

The holidays are finally past and the plague daemon of COVID defeated, which means the time has finally arrived for a brand new season of Lorebeards! Join Andy Law and Loremaster of Sotek as we step back a bit to start 2024 on a fresh note, really taking the time to explain the Warhammer World and many of its fundamentals from concepts to species. We hope you'll enjoy this fairly dense dive into the wondrous world of Warhammer Fantasy to prepare yourselves for a full year of Lorebeards ahead!

THE FINAL EPISODE OF 2023 IS HERE! Join Andy Law and Loremaster of Sotek for one final journey as we attempt to track down and understand the mysterious Advisor of the Total War Warhammer trilogy. Some believe him to be a simple tutorial mechanic, but what if there was something much...deeper to this old man's story? What if he was no simple mechanic, but instead the central figure who the entire Total War Warhammer storyline revolves around? Come along as we crack open the Tome of Fates to find out just what happened to this mysterious man and the tragic mistakes he made along the way.

Join Loremaster of Sotek and Andy Law as they take one of the greatest mysteries in the Warhammer world. The true identity of the Lady of the Lake. Just who is this enigmatic aquatic Goddess? Is she Lileath, the Elven Goddess of the Moon? Perhaps she is Ladrielle, the Elven Goddess of Mists? Or perhaps there may be even stranger answers lurking within the purifying mist. Take the Questing Vow and come along as we search for the truth behind this labyrinthine character.

Join Loremaster of Sotek and Andy Law as the titanic gates of Mingol-Zharr-Naggrund are swung open to reveal the hellish environs within! The capital of the Chaos Dwarfs, or Dawi Zharr as they call themselves, is an immense ziggurat of obsidian that looms upon the Plain of Zharr out in the Dark Lands. Today we'll be delving deep into the choking mines to try and uncover all of the secrets that may be found within the city. From the structures and history of the city itself to mysteries it may be hiding such as the true nature of the God Hashut, Father of Darkness.

Join Loremaster of Sotek and Andy Law on a journey to understand the divine mystery that is Myrmidia, the Goddess of War hailing from the lands of Tilea and Estalia. An immensely powerful and beloved deity, Myrmidia holds the unique position of being one of the few, if only, Gods in Warhammer to willingly take on a mortal form so that she might experience what it is to be human. We'll explore this fascinating tale while also uncovering the secrets of Tylos, a story that shows the incredible dangers of hubris.

Careful what you touch or breathe in on this episode of Lorebeards as Andy and Sotek venture into the diseased tunnels of Clan Pestilens to find the infamous Lord Skrolk! A truly ancient Skaven possessed of sorcerous might, the Plaguelord is swarmed with mysteries as anything else would surely die from his aura of pestilence. What might we discover behind this strange Plague Priest? What happened to his eyes? Just how old is he? All this and more we'll find on the journey ahead!

Down from the Misty Mountain rides the Lorebeards alongside the WAAAGH! of Grom the Paunch! Everyone's favorite fat goblin is truly a figure of legend, having smashed his way across the Old World and beyond. We'll delve fully into the stories behind this legend, from his humble beginnings all the way to his epic invasion of Ulthuan, the island home of the High Elves!

Lorebeards emerges from the darkness of Geheimnisnacht, guided by the holy light of none other than the Grand Theogonist, Volkmar the Grim! Join Andy Law and Loremaster of Sotek as they delve into the history and themes behind the iconic leader for the Cult of Sigmar!
