Exploring the Warhammer Afterlives (Part 1) w/ the Lorebeards!

All across the Warhammer world, there are many mysterious and powerful relics of ancient empires constantly discovered by daring explorers and those without the sense to leave such things alone. The Lorebeards are of course the masters of handling such artefacts and of course know their true origins! The most dangerous and powerful of these items is of course those crafted by the enigmatic Old Ones, beings far beyond the abilities of any to exist before or after. Whether world destroying engines, blades that violate the laws of reality, or far more bizarre creations, there is much to dig up and analyze!

I can't imagine that this episode will be fun to listen to, but hey here it is! This was a fun bonus episode of Lorebeards where Loremaster of Sotek and Andy Law have fun talking about Warhammer stuff but the TRUE point of the stream is FOOOOD! So prepare your offering for the Great Maw as we delve into Scottish food!

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!

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.
