The Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast

Those of us who are about to die, salute you.

Welcome to the pits!

In this episode, we dive in to some of the deadliest fighters to ever grace the blasted wastes and bloodied sands of Necromunda, the Pit Fighters.

Slaves without rights, mutilated by their owners and forced to kill for the enjoyment of their societal betters, these warriors have broken free from their oppressors and have set out on their own journeys.

We look into the legalities, the origins and some personal feelings of our own when it comes to this one.

So strap on a shield, have an arm replaced with a giant set of sheers and know that not all of us are going to make it out of this one alive.

Hello citizens of Necromunda.

You are in violation of Helmawrs law. Disperse now or risk punishment. This is not a drill.

After all that illegal chat last episode, we have decided to reign in the criminality and focus on a group DEFINITELY not involved in anything questionable, The Palanite Enforcers!

The long arm of Helmawrs law, the Enforcers represent the iron grip of The Imperial House and their domination of those below them.

From their questionable recruitment methods, to their interpretations of the laws and een the various factions within the Enforcers themselves, this episode dives deep into theories on their origins, theories on their purpose and a few sneaky gang ideas to get your imaginations going.

So take a seat. Write a list of friends and family who have committed crimes, prepare your confession and we promise the beatings will stop.

Hello there Scummers!

After a massive weekend of playing in Arcromunda IV, the boys give a breakdown of the weekend, with an emphasis on breakdown. Spamuel gets political.

But we then get into the meat of the episode with the Criminal alliances!

In this episode we look into the Rogue Factoria, renegade manufactoriums creating discount gear at prices you would not believe, just don't hold them to close to your limbs, head or bidy.

Next up, the Cold Traders. Whether it is xenos weaponry, shipments of black market combat boots or heavily armed mercenaries with a penchant for collecting the teef of their enemies, if the price is right, it's yours.

So settle in, make sure the juves are looking out for the Enforcers and enjoy the episode.

Greetings, scummers!

Gracing your airwaves this evening is a new series by your favourite uphive megastars, The Upperhive Lorekeepers!

We give you a rare look into the lives of your betters, those noble families of Greim and Catallus.

Greim is the military powerhouse of Necromunda, their control of not only the production of arms and armour across the planet, but also the soldiers who bear them, making them the most militaristically powerful house after The Imperial House of Helmawr.

The Ladies and Lords of Greim are one and all, brilliant strategists, skilled in the arts of war, whether on the battlefield or the lavish halls of the spires.

Catallus are the pinnacle of social standing and grace within noble society. Their family known for their lavish parties, shrewd business minds and matchmaking skills.

House Catallus swing diplomatic acumen like a warrior with a blade, their faces covered in anonymity to ensure the praises go to the house and The Emperor, instead of an individual.

So join us as we travel the noble paths, spreading the glorious knowledge from our minds to your ears.

This is Upperhive Lorekeepers and you’re welcome.

Hey there, scummers!

In this episode, the boys go over the two gangs we have been building up to with this whole series, The Genestealer Cults and The Malstrain.

We go over our theories on the Malstrains evolutionary path, the experiments that the mad Magos Hermiatus put the surviving purestrain through, whether the patriarch even exists anymore and their relationship with the GSC we know and love.

Spamuel learns about the letter D, Nathan learns that Heaven is a half pipe, the pair of them discuss evolutionary dead ends and we all have thoughts on the viability of infecting the already infected.

So settle in for a bottle or two of snake and close out this series with us, cause whether you’re a loving child of The Four Armed Emperor, a nuclear mutant variant of Malstrain, or just a lonely Ymgarl looking for a friend, this episode is for you.

Please remember to send us your GSC themed lore for our next listener lore competition, where you are in the running to win a brand new copy of Hive Secundus, entries close October 5th 2024.

Greetings and salutations, scummers!

In this episode, the boys take a trip into the absolute number 1 tourist destination on Necromunda. The Secundan Exlusion Zone!

From the sunrise over the Dust Wall, the sight studded stretches of roadways and many friendly and welcoming settlements and fortress precincts, it is also home to the pristine jewel of Necromunda, Hive Secundus.

Come and explore the libraries and data stacks, peruse knowledge from all across the Imperium and as far back as the Golden Age of Technology.

This reviewer gives it 3 enthusiastic thumbs up!

But on a more serious note, we take a stroll down through the histories of the area, the rise and fall of the second greatest hive city of them all, the folly of Hermiatus and the fallout left over by the Imperiums wrath.

So strap on your flak armour, night vision goggles at the ready and pray to whomever you think will keep the stealers off you at night, this is Hive Life.

Please remember to send us your GSC themed lore for our next listener lore competition, where you are in the running to win a brand new copy of Hive Secundus,
