Lorebeards

There are countless mysteries to be found within the Warhammer world, many of which will probably never be answered. Some, however, have enough nuggets of information that we can glean various truths about what may lurk beneath the surface. Today the Lorebeards are offering and accepting condolences for we must venture to those realms that no mortal may traverse without paying a heavy price, the realms of the dead. Say your prayers to Morr for protection and come walk the Afterlives of the Warhammer World!

Say your prayers to Morr for protection and come walk the Afterlives of the Warhammer World!

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!

There are many dangerous and foreboding cities to be found in the world of Warhammer, but there's one that stands above all others when it comes to being truly cursed. Once the mighty bastion against Chaos in the North, Praag suffered a brutal fate at the hands of the 12th Everchosen, Asavar Kul. After its utter annihilation and defilement at the hands of Chaos, this twisted ruin was rebuilt by the stubborn people of Kislev in the hopes of taking back that which the Dark Gods had stolen from them. Join Andy and Sotek as they venture into the whispering alleys and proud spires of Praag to unveil its history, tragedy, and legacy.

While the Lorebeards have been busy digging through the old dusty tomes of the World That Was and exploring stories that lead right up to the End Times, Games Workshop has themselves been busy prepping the Warhammer World 200 years earlier for the upcoming examination of the Great War Against Chaos. One of the biggest things they've been up to is a fantastic, free map available to everyone on oldworld.com which includes TONS of information, locations, and points of interest. But how do Sotek and Andy feel about this Old World Map? Is it accurate? Is it interesting? Well let's find out!

There are countless horrors to be found within the Warhammer world, but not all nightmarish creatures are equal. Among the deep forests of the Old World there persist rumors of a horrid entity known by many names. Known as Gor-Dum to the Dwarfs, Cyanathair to the Elves, and the Shadowgave to Men. But to the Beastmen, the true Children of Chaos, he is Morghur. A repulsive fiend who perpetually mutates both his own body and all things around him, the Shadowgave is far more than a simple Beastman. He is, in truth, a terrible God of Mutation that ever attempts to force his way into reality so that he might track down and devour the Divine. Join us as we bask in his corruptive presence to know the truth behind the true God of the Beastmen.

A special treat comes to Lorebeards as we're joined by a special guest, the one and only PancreasNoWork! An iconic rising star in the content creation sphere of Warhammer, Mr. OrganIssues is a spectacular individual with an eye for memes and excellent sense of humor. A fairly recent arrival into the world of Warhammer Fantasy compared to the ancient Lorebeards, we'll be delving into his history with the setting and chat about the journey of getting into Warhammer Fantasy!

There are many mighty heroes and powerful villains to be found within the Warhammer world, but few can boast of remaining undefeated over thousands of years while serving the utterly ruthless and unforgiving Khorne. Arbaal is an unstoppable beast upon the battlefield, riding upon an immense Flesh Hound given to him by the Lord of Skulls. What can be learned by dredging through the ocean of blood left in the wake of Arbaal? What does he represent and what might be his destiny as the world rampages on? Come along as we head into the Blood God's domain to seek the truth!

The Lorebeards are back with the first character feature of Season 7! Of course the stalwart Dwarfs are the only right and proper option to take such an incredible slot! However our path does not take us into the proud holds of the Karaz Ankor, but instead into the wilds where a great tragedy took place. One of the absolute oldest characters to be found in the entirety of Games Workshop, Josef Bugman is a legendary brewer and ranger who's sad tale has swollen in both scope and importance over the years. So fill your tankard and best grab some tissues for the story that awaits us is not a happy one.

A brand new series has come to life on Lorebeards as Loremaster of Sotek & Andy Law tackle the near infinite possibilities of "What If..."? That's right! This is the first episode of taking a potential scenario in the Warhammer World and discussing what might have happened if things had turned out differently. In this case, the Lorebeards shall be exploring the idea of what may have happened if Lord Mazdamundi had seized control of the Lizardmen's destiny in his interpretation of the Great Plan that he reveals in the 7th Edition army book. That for the Great Plan to be fulfilled, all creatures of Chaos must be eradicated and the various races of the Old Ones must be returned to their places of origin. How will the various factions handle this? Who will survive? Who will fall? What are the consequences of the mightiest Slann alive rising up to steer the course of the planet's Fate? Let's find out!

The time has finally come for a brand new Season of Lorebeards! That's right, we're on to Season 7 as Loremaster of Sotek and Andy Law return to bless the world with more wisdom and lore goodness. What better way to start off another year than with a classic Ask Us Anything? This episode features Andy and Sotek answering any and all questions that the community comes running to submit! What will we end up discussing today?

A rare treat is when the Lorebeards shuffle away from simply exploring the lore that is written by others and instead put on their creative hats to make something entirely new! There have been quite a few requests for a return to this format after the popular Tamurkhan Brother's/Throne of Chaos series so at last the time has come! This time the Lorebeards will be calling upon Skink artisans and Kroxigor movers to assist with the construction of a brand new Lizardmen Temple-City! Along with a considerable amount of aid from the live audience during this stream, we'll have to figure out where to put this city, how to theme it, what structures it'll need, and much more! This stream probably won't be that great for podcast format so do pop over to the Loremaster of Sotek channel to find the VOD if you're so inclined.

There are many bizarre and horrendous curses to be found across the Warhammer world. Whether its transformation of the flesh, loss of the mind, or erosion of the spirit there can be countless magical threats for one to fear. There is one curse, however, that uniquely preys upon the most desperate of humans. A creeping horror that burrows into those vulnerable people forced to turn to cannibalism as their only hope of survival. The tragic process which twists a normal man or woman into the troglodyte creature known as a Ghoul. Join Andy & Sotek as they shine light upon the origins of the Ghoul Curse, how it manifests, and what becomes of those that fall prey to its sinister touch.

We all know the horrific power that is Nagash, the Great Necromancer and Lord of Undeath. One of the most powerful forces to torment the Warhammer world, Nagash is practically a God who utilizes endless legions of undead and rotten monstrosities to crush his enemies. Yet he does not work alone in his grand designs to dominate all things. Even as far back as his rise to the position of Priest-King of Khemri, Nagash has relied upon Nine Dread Lords to enact his will and lead his armies. Later granted the title of "Mortarch", these vampires, wraiths, and skeletal champions have gone down in history for their incredible power and ruthless efficiency. Join Andy & Sotek as they dive into the known individuals ascended to the highest ranks of Nagash's Undead Legions. While only a small number of the original 9 are remembered, the full roster of the End Times individuals are up to be discussed! This bonus Wednesday episode does include heavy chat interaction as well so it will be interesting to see in what Tier each Mortarch lands!

No matter where one might go in the world, they'll not set foot in lands that haven't felt the heavy tread of Golgfag Maneater! One of the oldest named characters in Warhammer Fantasy, Golgfag truly is the greatest mercenary to ever live. He's fought, killed, and eaten damn near every creature known and will happily accept anyone's coin. Not only has he achieved legendary status due to his own exploits, but has even spawned an absurd number of copycats to the point that "Maneater" is just the standard term for Ogre mercenaries now. Join Andy & Sotek as they pick the truth out from the myths like gristle off a roasted Rhinox leg to fully discovery the legacy of Golgfag Maneater.

One of the most popular Wednesday night formats that has emerged amongst the history of Lorebeards is our totally-not-insane Tierlist streams that rank a particular subject within the Warhammer world. Today a rather sinister yet comical subject matter has arrived to be ranked! That of course being the infamous Council of Thirteen, the masters of the Skaven Under-Empire! Join Andy & Sotek as they delve deep into the history, strengths, and Lords of Decay ruling over each of the Clans. How will they rank up? These streams include a considerable amount of community involvement so we'll have to see what happens!

Welcome back to Lorebeards, where Andy Law & Loremaster of Sotek journey throughout the Warhammer world to educate the masses on all the wonderful and horrible things that can be discovered! Today we'll be venturing into the Eastern Steppes, north of Grand Cathay's Great Bastion. A wild windswept plain of incredible size known for being the last uncorrupted land before one reaches the Chaos Wastes. Among the tall grasses and cracked dry patches lies an entire nation of incredible size, despite having no cities or stone foundations. Instead it is an colossal tide of Giant Wolves and Hobhounds pulling settlements built upon wheeled platforms that roams around to stay ahead of Chaos hordes and strike at vulnerable targets to loot and plunder. This is the Hobgoblin Khanate, made up by the titular Hobgoblins. A strange sub-species of the Greenskins race that are infamous for their backstabbing nature and nomadic lifestyle. Without further ado let's get into it!

Join Sotek & Andy Law as they finish off the birthday/anniversary episodes of Lorebeards with the grand finale of Sigmar Heldenhammer! The legendary founder of the Empire and totally not a war criminal, Sigmar is one of the most important figures in all of Warhammer Fantasy. After all, he does wield THE Warhammer. In any event, Sigmar has a GREAT many stories about his life that we'll be exploring today. As there is so much to cover, today we'll be focusing far more on the mortal life of Sigmar and see how far we get!

After FAR too long of a hiatus due to the ravages of Grandfather Nurgle and Clan Pestilens, the Lorebeards have finally returned! For this stream we resume where we left off with the Anniversary Special, turning our attention fully on the bizarre multiversal sandbox that is the Total War Warhammer universe! There's been tons of patches, DLCs, and FLCs added to this game over the last near-decade, but if executive power were given to Andy & Sotek, what insanity might they unleash to try and craft the perfect game? Well grab your drink of choice and settle in to find out!

The time has come for Loremaster of Sotek & Andy Law to continue their celebration of a year's worth of Lorebeards after Grandfather Nurgle wreaked a bit of havoc on the schedule. After several visits to the Temples of Shallya, Andy is well enough once more to carry on the fight against the greatest foe of any Warhammer fan...the End Times! While the Lorebeards have faced off against this calamity before, this time they'll be focusing on several specific aspects rather than just the overall events. So prepare to see some angry nerds rant and rave against Lileath and the dying of the light!

LOREBEARDS IS OFFICIALLY (A little over) ONE YEAR OLD! Andy & Sotek are delighted to celebrate a full cycle around the sun of delving into Warhammer Fantasy lore. It has been an unparalleled pleasure to engage in weekly discussions about our favorite setting with you all whether it be about the myriad races and characters found across the width of the world. To celebrate this occasion, the Lorebeards have decided to dedicate an entire month of goodies for everyone to enjoy! The first part of this 4-part series shall be to....ASK US ANYTHING! A unique stream in which we'll be doing our damnedest to answer as many questions as possible in the time allotted!

At the absolute beginning of all things, they came on Silvered Ships from beyond the stars. The Old Ones, ancient cosmic beings, are the true architects of the Warhammer World. Seeing some grand purpose in this speck of dirt floating among the infinite expanse of space, these alien sorcerer-scientists began their mysterious work. From moving the planet closer to the sun, to elevating many of the races that would come to dominate the world, to crafting the immense gateways hanging in space above the world that would one day lead to Catastrophe. Join Andy & Sotek as they attempt to decipher the bizarre mixture of truth and myth surrounding the enigmatic Old Ones and their Great Plan.

For millennia, the mountain realms of the Dwarfs have been pulled slowly but surely into decline. Their once impregnable holds within the Worlds Edge Mountains were cracked open one after the other during that terrible time known as the Age of Woe. Among the mighty karaks that fell, few were felt as keenly as that of Karak Drazh. Join Andy & Sotek as they delve into the the history of the hold that came to be known as Black Crag and how it devolved into the greatest Orc Fortress in the world. From its initial claiming by the Greenskin scourge to the modern age under the iron fist of Gorfang Rotgut, this tour through the depths will be one to remember!

At the top of the world lies the hellish lands known as the Chaos Wastes, where countless warbands dedicated to the Dark Gods roam the earth to seek glory in the name of their patrons. Of these, none are more terrible than the Tormentors. A hideous legion of Slaanesh worshipping monstrosities led by the mutated majesty that is Dechala, the Denied One! Just where does this serpentine monstrosity come from? What is her story and how did she become one of the mightiest champions to serve the Dark Prince? Join Andy & Sotek as they wind back the clock to the bygone era known as the Cataclysm, to explore a tragedy unlike any other upon the isle of Ulthuan. A story of trauma, desire, and an insatiable hunger for power!

The End Times have come, the legions of Chaos are spilling out across the world to drown all in a tide of horror and magic! Or...is this actually the beginning? Hunker down with Andy & Sotek as they guide you through the nightmarish tale that is the Cataclysm, that epic conflict which ushered in the true start of the Warhammer Fantasy world as we know it! Prepare for a tale of the ultimate struggle as Gods, Heroes, and Ancient Empires strive to weather the first great Storm of Magic known simply as...the Cataclysm!

A month of effort culminates in the grand finale of the Tamurkhan's Brothers series! After delving through the imagination of Sotek, Andy, & Chat the time has finally come to try and tie everything together into a coherent storyline. This episode uniquely featured Loremaster of Sotek dusting off his ancient Powerpoint skills to make a presentation which collated all of the information from the prior streams together to help paint the overall picture. Enjoy the end of this epic experiment with the Lorebeards!

It's another one of dem dang tierlists! This time the Grand Provinces of the Empire will be stepping up to the plate to be evaluate and judged by the all-knowing Lorebeards! How will your favorite Province of Sigmar's nation stack up when put under examination? Will the live audience vote them up to glorious S tier? Or down into the fiery depths of D! Be sure to listen in and find out!

A new BONUS set of episodes has arrived for the Lorebeards podcast! As you've worked your way through this series, you may have enjoyed the delightful episode focusing on Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord that Andy Law & Sotek did some time ago. One thing that came up during that stream was the fact that Tamurkhan was simply one of 4 Brothers dedicated to each of the Dark Gods, that being Nurgle in his case. There was supposed to be 3 other brothers featuring epic adventures to follow them each as they all seek out the Throne of Chaos! So please enjoy as Sotek & Andy change gears from the idea of simply teaching the lore....to instead using their immense combined knowledge to create some! This episode is the third of this storyline and features the Tzeentch Brother.

Yar har har and a chest of Lizard trinkets! Of all the shorelines to be found in the Warhammer world there are none more dangerous and cursed than the Eastern shore of Lustria known to the wider world as the Vampire Coast. Founded long ago by the Arch-Grand Commodore, the Emperor of Lustria, the Pirate King of the Vampire Coast known as Luthor Harkon. Just how did this eccentric Lord of Undeath come to reside in Lustria and what is the legacy of this horrific realm? Join Andy & Sotek as they sail brazenly into the haunted mists.

Among the constant backstabbery and scheming found among the Skaven, there is in fact another far more sinister force lurking just beyond the veil. Within the Realm of Ruin, the domain of the Great Horned Rat itself, there are titanic monsters of nightmarish power known simply as Verminlords. These Daemons are the mightiest servants of the Skaven's foul God, always watching the Mortal Realms and attempting to twist the endless plots in their favor. Join Andy & Sotek as they investigate the nature of these twisted abominations and what their existence means for the Under-Empire and beyond.

In the southeast of Bretonnia, nestled between the Grey Mountains & the Vaults there lies an immense forest the likes of which is found no where else in the world. Athel Loren, the first great wood in the world blessed by the seemingly-divine gifts of the Old Ones. A magical realm full of fey spirits, Elven Demi-Gods, horrific monstrosities and far more. The paths here are strange and ignore the laws of space and time, but just what is the history and nature of this place? Join Andy & Sotek as they cautiously wander into the depths of Athel Loren.

The Realm of Chaos yawns open, not to spill out corruption and nightmares as it often does, but instead to welcome all who dare upon the road to the Brass Citadel. Khorne's mighty fortress that stands at the absolute center of his realm, where the God himself is said to reside according to various myths & legends. From the hell-forges manned by Daemon-smiths to the impossible mountain of skulls upon which stands the throne of a God, there is much to explore within the Blood God's domain. Join Sotek & Andy as they prepare their offerings of Skulls for the Skull Throne!

Another special BONUS episode has arrived for Lorebeards! This time Andy & Sotek do something COMPLETELY different as they call upon the sacred and somewhat unhinged art of Tier List Rankings! For this first ever Tier List, the Loremasters educate the community on the various Phoenix Kings that have ruled over Ulthuan since the first to the very last. A rather humorous episode with considerable amounts of lore on the High Elves in particular.

Draw your daggers and prepare to offer bloody offerings up to Kaela Mensha Khaine, the Bloody Handed God of War and Murder! One of the most powerful Gods worshipped by the Elves, there are many dark secrets to be uncovered surrounding the dread Lord of the infamous Widowmaker. Join Andy & Sotek as they plunge deep into the heart of these mysteries to unveil many truths about the Elven pantheon. We'll be discussing quite a bit on Khaine in regards to his history and nature, along with the various myths surrounding his impact upon the world. This includes topics such as the War in Heaven, the nature of the Elven Gods, how they're seen by other races, and the Cult surrounding this fell deity in its various aspects. Along with much more!

The night is dark and full of terrors, but not all threats are so obvious or detectable as ghouls and daemons. Some monsters hide behind coy smiles and lustful curves in plain sight through the use of humanity's natural weaknesses and clever sorceries. Join Andy & Sotek as they embrace the shadowy secret society that is the Lahmian Sisterhood, one of the most powerful organizations to be found in the Warhammer world. This legion of Vampires is well structured and carries a long history full of manipulations, betrayals, seductions, and bloodshed. We'll be learning about the Undead, the Lahmian bloodline of Vampires, their Mistress Neferata, and how this supposed evil may well be the world's greatest defense against the End Times and the Legions of Chaos.

Prepare for a long journey as the time has come to make the arduous journey to one of the largest cities in the entirety of the Warhammer world. Wei-jin, the Capital of Grand Cathay & the mysterious Palace-Complex known as the Celestial City that hovers above. Join Andy & Sotek as they scour the urban sprawl to uncover fascinating secrets of Cathay and its ruling Dragons along with studying the history surrounding such an ancient location. We'll be learning a considerable amount about the nature of Grand Cathay with the aid of specific locations and notes on constructions, leading to deep discussions on the nature of Yin and Yang magic along. Some discoveries could well be darker than others. This also includes a hefty chat about several historical events involving the mysterious Monkey King, Skaven, Daemons, and more!

The forest is dark and full of terrible things, but few are more horrifying than that which claims the darkest places from which to spin their webs. Join Andy & Sotek as they creep into the dens of monstrous spiders to learn the eerie truth about the strange and alien deity that lurks just outside the edge of reality. In this episode we'll be heavily discussing the Forest Goblins of the Warhammer world along with everything associated with them from the various types of spiders they ride to the history of how Goblins ended up in the dark forests to begin with. We'll also touch on the unique place the Spider God inhabits within the world compared with other Warhammer Gods and what its existence may imply about the nature of the divine. Best check if you have arachnophobia before delving into this one!

To finish out our tri-week saga about the various elements of Warhammer Fantasy featured in the recent Thrones of Decay DLC for Total War Warhammer 3, the time has come to turn our attention back to the Empire. Join Andy and Sotek as they delve fully into all of the subjects surrounding her from the Cult of Morr and the Amethyst College to the heroic Theodore Bruckner and the Elector Countess of Nuln herself. This episode is JAMPACKED with details about the Empire so the Sons and Daughters of Sigmar are in for quite a treat!

There are many prophecies swirling throughout the mists of the Warhammer world, but few are of such dire consequence as that of the Throne of Chaos.
