1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,520
Hello, uh, lore crimes viewers.

2
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:24,320
We are back at it again with a fantasy fireside, but this time there's a couple things different.

3
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,640
First of all, you might notice the avatar.

4
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,240
I'm of course, Carl France and his glorious regalia is still there, but it's not Andy.

5
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,960
The remembrance there is gone with me.

6
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,520
I have today, how the Amber King, no one will remember the remembrance.

7
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,080
I've taken him out.

8
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,080
He's forgotten.

9
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,080
He's replaced.

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,840
He's currently on the end of my little wooden stick.

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,600
He's the Marsh bellow.

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,280
I have consumed him for more esoteric knowledge.

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,520
I now remember everything.

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,680
It is the, uh, Haster, the King in yellow.

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,240
So I suppose that's only fitting.

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,240
True.

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,120
Oh, he's more, um, you know, haunting slash, you know, do something bad in your underwear

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,000
kind of Eldritch horror rather than knowledge.

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,120
Being a jerk, I will say, because it's still within the first minute of the video and I

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,160
can't use bigger words yet.

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,480
True, true.

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,880
But beyond that, this fantasy fireside is going to be a bit different because today

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,400
I'm going to be telling how, I guess a little bit of explanation, how I know you're a little

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,760
bit more familiar with fantasy than Andy is.

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,760
Yeah.

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:38,400
I'm kind of, I knew, uh, well, I'm a fantasy before I actually knew 140 K. I know that's

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,760
a bit of a shock there for many people.

28
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,840
And I really, I really fell in love with it.

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,080
Um, end times.

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:53,440
I knew, I knew the end times happened, the end crimes and I was so upset.

31
00:01:53,440 --> 00:02:01,240
And I kind of, I've honestly stayed away from age of stigma for so long, but I know that

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,320
they've been, they've been putting in the work in terms of making that world good.

33
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,840
And so I'm kind of, I'm like, you know, my body's ready.

34
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,880
I'm ready to explore the setting that I've kind of, you know, been against cause it's

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,200
not the old world.

36
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,560
Uh, well said.

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,440
And as Hal said, and as you can probably figure out because you know, videos have titles

38
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,480
in them.

39
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,840
We are not in the warhammer fantasy world today.

40
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,580
Today we're going to go over age of Sigmar.

41
00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:34,120
So kind of like the first of these was what's the basics of the warhammer fantasy world.

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,680
This is going to be a similar vein for age of Sigmar granted a little bit more broad.

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,920
We'll not just be going over locations.

44
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:47,020
I'll be going over the plot of the game, the mortal realms themselves and the grand alliances,

45
00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:49,240
the faction groupings.

46
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,240
And I'm your victim.

47
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:56,440
And yeah, and since Hal doesn't know much about the age of Sigmar universe, it's his

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,840
turn to have lore just vomited all over them.

49
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,840
Definitely.

50
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,480
I'm, I'm ready.

51
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,000
And I think the view is we're all, we're just ready to hit us with it.

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Let's, let's delve into the, are they called, they're not called, are they called mortal

53
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,720
realms?

54
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,960
They're the mortal realms.

55
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,960
Yes.

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Oh, damn.

57
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,760
I was thinking of the total war, immortal empires.

58
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,960
I can already, I can already feel that this is going to, all right, I'll keep it.

59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,960
I'll keep it together.

60
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Awesome trailer, but I have to, we have to move on.

61
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,400
I can't get caught on the total war trailer cause I will.

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,060
I'll be sad.

63
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:36,360
For those of you who only know it as that thing you ignore and instead play total warhammer,

64
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:42,960
funnily enough, age of Sigmar is the sequel to the warhammer fantasy universe end game

65
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:49,640
after the end times happened, which again, bad, very bad age of Sigmar was born to replace

66
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,760
the old fantasy line.

67
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:59,160
It replaced the rank and file, the square bases with circles as they are in 40 K and

68
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,520
kind of 40 Kified the setting in a couple of ways, which in some ways is bad.

69
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,860
It's not as much of a cohesive single planet anymore, but in some ways is good.

70
00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:17,120
It allows for a lot more factions to be created since functionally the world realms are infinite

71
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,760
and a lot more homebrew because again, it's not a single planet.

72
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,800
There's a lot more room for whatever you want.

73
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,760
And while it's certainly not as well developed as fantasy was and 40 K is, I don't think

74
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:36,320
that's a issue with the setting as it is the fact that age of Sigmar launched in 2015,

75
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,320
I believe.

76
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,360
It's only just about eight years old now that really saves this podcast.

77
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,000
As soon as someone hears it.

78
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Yeah.

79
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,360
Well, later down the line, it'll date it, but for, you know, for now, this is, this

80
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,040
is the modern day for us.

81
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,040
Yeah.

82
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,320
This is sorry to all of you.

83
00:04:53,320 --> 00:05:00,920
Super future people watching this in 2045 shout out to my grandkids listening to this

84
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,920
or 800 of you.

85
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,920
I'm joking.

86
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,920
I'm joking.

87
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Let's do this.

88
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,920
Let's do this.

89
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,920
All right.

90
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,960
So, uh, but yeah, it's come together as a setting and I'd like to introduce some people

91
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,280
to it.

92
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:20,840
So let's go through the plot of age of Sigmar first, which as a spoiler, this is going to

93
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,440
be most of the video telling you what's going on in AOS and you know, the narrative and

94
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,840
the plot, cause that is what gets a lot of people into Warhammer.

95
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:29,600
Like what's, what are these people, what are they doing?

96
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,720
What are they about?

97
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:37,640
Very quickly, if like a very, imagine if you had like a very quick sentence here, why should

98
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,560
someone give this setting a chance?

99
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,120
So just like very quickly, because we're obviously trying to encourage people like I'm here,

100
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,120
you know, I'm with you, bro.

101
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,600
I'm holding hands, but, um, why, why now as it kind of turned around and you think it's

102
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,520
the time to get into ages, Sigmar law just for the people who are listening.

103
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,960
Um, at least from personal experience, I know that this it's kind of been getting more popular

104
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,880
lately, like in my local GW, they, uh, the manager was talking about how a whole bunch

105
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,680
more people have recently gotten into the game.

106
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,880
So it's kind of blowing up and something I do think I do firmly believe is that I do

107
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,320
think most of games workshops, creativity right now is going into age of Sigmar.

108
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,680
Uh, the models, the models to death, the models are phenomenal.

109
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:33,760
And 40 K's kind of gotten to a point where it has its established setting and veering

110
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,200
away from that is very difficult.

111
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,080
If not almost impossible, grim dark has to be grim dark.

112
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,080
Yeah.

113
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,660
At least in my opinion, but AOS is new.

114
00:06:43,660 --> 00:06:46,560
So it's still kind of forming in a couple of different ways.

115
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,760
Um, also it's kind of a, it's an exciting time now.

116
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Like we're witnessing the, the co-cohesions, is that the right word?

117
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,600
The kind of coalescence of this set to its identity.

118
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,600
Yeah.

119
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,960
Like it's only in its third edition right now, which I think launched last year or the

120
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,960
year before.

121
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,960
I'm ready.

122
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,600
I'm, I'm, I'm in now.

123
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,600
I'm ready.

124
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,600
Let's do it.

125
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,040
And, uh, just one other thing.

126
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,400
It's much like 40 K is science fiction on steroids.

127
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,960
Uh, AOS is fantasy on steroids.

128
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:25,120
So if you like massive scale, Titanic, everything, age of Sigmar has you covered.

129
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,400
So with that being said, I need to disappoint everyone because to talk about age of Sigmar,

130
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,280
I need to bring up the end times.

131
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Oh, so for those of you who don't know what the end times were, the warhammer fantasy

132
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,600
range as a whole was selling less than, uh, individual armies in 40 K. And I think paint

133
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,960
was outselling warhammer fantasy, which hurts.

134
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Oof.

135
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,040
Uh, so games workshop decided things had to be shaken up.

136
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,240
And the way they did this was blow up the setting.

137
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,840
That's one way to do it.

138
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:00,840
Yeah.

139
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:08,000
That being said, a lots of races, factions, and whatnot from the end times, the old fantasy

140
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,560
world actually survived.

141
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,480
The skaven just kind of teleported their capital city into the warp.

142
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:23,160
The lizard men, uh, their fancy, you know, Aztec Inca Maya mishmash pyramids were actually

143
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,200
spaceships.

144
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,080
So when the skaven were blowing up the chaos moon and causing all the fragments to land

145
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,680
on lustria, uh, or at least a decent chunk of them were landing there and invading the

146
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:37,520
lizard men, they declared that the plan had failed.

147
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,600
They got into their spaceships and just left the planet.

148
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:48,880
And most importantly of all, Sigmar held in hammer the titular God of age of Sigmar and

149
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,440
Archaon the ever chosen of chaos warhammer fantasy Abaddon for those who aren't too familiar

150
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,440
with them.

151
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,440
Slightly more competent though.

152
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,440
Yeah.

153
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,440
Abaddon or Abaddon?

154
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:05,240
I call him Abaddon, but however you want to say it.

155
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,320
He's a, I, I, Archaon to me, his backstory is a little bit better as well.

156
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Let's be honest.

157
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,320
He's a little bit better than Abaddon.

158
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,320
Oh yeah.

159
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,320
100%.

160
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,520
Even though I do have a slight confusion about his backstory, but I see, I assume we might

161
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:25,320
talk about him properly another time, but he's definitely, he's a lot more competent

162
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,680
and I enjoyed that about him.

163
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,320
Whether you, whether he's competent because games workshop just wanted the setting blown

164
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,320
up.

165
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,600
I'll leave that up to the viewers to decide their opinions on his confidence.

166
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,360
True, true.

167
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:43,840
Uh, but he and Sigmar wrestled, wrestled over Gal Maraz, Sigmar's signature warhammer and

168
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:50,520
indeed the warhammer of games workshop that if you ever look at their emblem, doesn't

169
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,400
come from 40k, that would be good old Gal Maraz on it.

170
00:09:54,400 --> 00:10:00,460
And in the city of Middenheim, as the warp was overtaking the planet, the realm of chaos,

171
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:02,460
they wrestled over the hammer.

172
00:10:02,460 --> 00:10:07,340
And although Sigmar won was a hollow victory because the world was still ending all around

173
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,400
them.

174
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:15,520
The heroes of order, as well as a Magash who was also there trying to stop it, if only

175
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,860
because he lives on the world, failed to stop it.

176
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:22,920
And the warhammer world was devoured by chaos.

177
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:30,960
We haven't mentioned the leech, the little, the little scum that is, uh, Mr. Von, yeah,

178
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,520
Manfred von Karstein.

179
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,120
Oh man.

180
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,280
It's annoying because he's quite, he's such an enjoyable character.

181
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,000
That's the one like little piece I just despise about him so much.

182
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,660
Unfortunately that little piece is ending the setting.

183
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:49,600
He stabbed, um, no, not Tecla, he stabbed Balthasar Gelt.

184
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,280
I know that part.

185
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,280
Yeah.

186
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,000
Teclas tried to take his wind of magic into his body and it was too much and he exploded

187
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
and then the world exploded.

188
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,280
But enough end times.

189
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,480
It's time to get to age of Sigmar, if only so I can stop talking about the end times.

190
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,480
Let's do it.

191
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,480
Let's fly.

192
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:15,160
So while Sigmar won, like I said, world implodes around him, but he attaches himself to the

193
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:21,800
solid core of the warhammer world, which proceeds to fly through the space and time that doesn't

194
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:28,760
really exist anymore because chaos ate everything for untold amount of time until he ends up

195
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,180
in what would become known as the realm of Azir in the mortal realms.

196
00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:39,180
And he meets this god beast, which are big old monsters that are called god beasts because

197
00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:40,840
they're very powerful.

198
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:46,960
This one is known as the star Drake Dracothian and it's revealed through this and the end

199
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,260
times as it turns out, warhammer worlds follow a cycle.

200
00:11:52,260 --> 00:11:57,560
Chaos will blow up one world, move on to the next, and then the survivors of the previous

201
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:01,160
one usually become the new gods of the new setting.

202
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:06,720
Things that are nice for a while, then chaos shows up, they start making the world suck

203
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,480
and then eventually they blow it up and move on.

204
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,240
Does that mean, I have a very quick question.

205
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:19,960
Does that when in the old world, when they refer to the old ones, was that perhaps a

206
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,480
race that survived the previous epoch, if you know what I mean?

207
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,840
I don't believe that has ever been confirmed, but what has been confirmed is that some of

208
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:36,160
the Elven gods, so I know Assyrian and Cain, they were survivors of the last world.

209
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Yo, that's kind of, I mean, I understand Cain because he's just too, I like it, Cain in

210
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,920
the Warhammer fantasy is way better, man.

211
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,760
It has to be said, he's so much more competent.

212
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,720
I enjoy that.

213
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,360
That's really, that's pretty cool.

214
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,000
I'd actually, I'd had no idea that they, is that a common theory or is that like, perhaps

215
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,080
like a deep law idea?

216
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,960
I think it's a decent amount of, it's not exactly like in the universe or as far as

217
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,720
like we would know it.

218
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,120
Okay, okay.

219
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,280
That's pretty cool.

220
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,580
Yeah.

221
00:13:15,580 --> 00:13:19,960
So it's, I don't know if it's one of the more prominent things they've advertised, but it

222
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,040
is something that's not like hidden away for the setting.

223
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:31,320
So that happens and he meets this guy, this star Drake Dracothian and Dracothian sole

224
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,000
job is to basically form the bedrock of reality.

225
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,880
So when the gods of the new world, they come in and, you know, kind of spice it up, but

226
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:47,120
Dracothian gives it its formation and either with his help or it was irrelevant of it.

227
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,820
I couldn't find anything that confirmed it completely.

228
00:13:49,820 --> 00:13:55,720
The former eight winds of magic from the Warhammer world formed the eight mortal realms and

229
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:03,560
Sigmar having been bound to the wind of heaven in the Warhammer fantasy world became the

230
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:06,960
God of the realm of Azir, the realm of heavens.

231
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:13,140
The lizard men who are in their spaceships who had largely died out except for some salon

232
00:14:13,140 --> 00:14:16,740
also made it to Azir and became creatures of heaven.

233
00:14:16,740 --> 00:14:21,900
They became demons of order with pretty much the lightning of heaven running through their

234
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:25,760
veins, which is stove metal.

235
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,440
That's actually pretty, they have like the glowing woke eyes, but it's actually white

236
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,440
instead of red.

237
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,440
Yeah, yeah.

238
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,760
It's a, it's, they kind of flip flop on it a bit.

239
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,280
Like early on they were all like demons of order.

240
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,860
Now they've kind of changed a bit where some of them are, some of them aren't, they're

241
00:14:41,860 --> 00:14:44,440
just regular flesh and blood lizard men.

242
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,160
That's a little bit all over the place, but at least some of them are these crazy lightning

243
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,200
demons that only form in the lizard men bodies when they lightning strike in front of a chaos

244
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,680
warrior and cut his head off.

245
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,520
Did my boy Lord croak, I'm on the edge of my seat.

246
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,520
Did he survive?

247
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,120
Oh, you better believe Lord croak is still around.

248
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,840
That is, I'll be getting to him.

249
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,720
He is lizard man, a doom guy, a hundred percent.

250
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,600
And no one can change my opinion on that, but he has magic instead.

251
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:22,120
Yeah, he's, he's pretty sick and thus forms the early ages of AOS.

252
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,520
And this is known as the age of myth.

253
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,760
Early on, Sigmar was kind of alone.

254
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:33,440
Dracothian kind of pissed off after he helped Sigmar out and helped Sigmar get his bearings.

255
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,240
But Sigmar wasn't alone forever because over time he came across the, some of the former

256
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,960
people and gods he knew from the old world, freed them or recruited them from whatever

257
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,520
they were doing.

258
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,760
And they formed the new pantheon of gods of age of Sigmar of the mortal realms.

259
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,400
And funnily enough, Nagash was first.

260
00:15:53,400 --> 00:16:00,560
Now for those of you who don't know Nagash, imagine a Warhammer Saturday cartoon villain.

261
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,320
He has no redeeming qualities.

262
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,680
He is the worst person ever.

263
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,840
Just giant piece of shit.

264
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:12,400
Utterly selfish in every, literally in every regard.

265
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,680
I don't think he has anything redeeming about him.

266
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,680
But very powerful and early on in the mortal realms, a very dangerous place.

267
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,240
There were a lot of beasties and nasty things crawling around.

268
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,920
They weren't even chaos related as chaos had yet to come into the planet.

269
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,840
But they were still very dangerous.

270
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:38,600
Is that similar to like how before the old ones arrived in the old world, they were like

271
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,600
dragon ogre shaggoths.

272
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,000
Like just like, just thing.

273
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,320
And obviously like dragons too.

274
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,320
They just existed.

275
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,040
It's yeah, it's kind of like that.

276
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,360
I actually hadn't made that parallel before, but yeah, it's kind of like that how before

277
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,240
the old ones came in, the Warhammer world was a lot more dangerous.

278
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,360
It was kind of like that.

279
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Only now it was Sigmar who had to deal with it.

280
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:04,020
So for that reason, he frees Nagash because he needs the allies and together they fought

281
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:05,240
these horrible creatures.

282
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:11,320
And I've even read that supposedly, maybe this is exaggeration, maybe it isn't, but

283
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,920
some of the things they fought would have even given the chaos gods pause for thought

284
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,120
on whether or not they wanted to fight.

285
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:23,200
Is that like the, again, reference to the old world, there was a dragon ogre shaggoth

286
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,880
that Archaon did it, it was part of his quest to become ever chosen.

287
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,040
It was literally like the size of a mountain.

288
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:37,120
Yeah, like he was, I think you could confuse it for a mountain if you were far away from

289
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:38,120
it.

290
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:39,640
Even Archaon was like, I'm not messing with that.

291
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,200
Yeah, it's kind of like that.

292
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:48,280
It makes you wonder like where these creatures do come from, or if that's just like a natural,

293
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,160
like you know how like obviously guests dinosaurs in our world, like back, you know, way back

294
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,760
then they were bigger, more deadly.

295
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,040
It's just a thing that happens.

296
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,960
Kind of something like that, because the mortal realms are all intrinsically magic since each

297
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,180
formed from one of the eight winds.

298
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:09,760
So depending on where they're at, you get all these horrible, different nasty creatures

299
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,000
that aren't even chaos, they're just massively powerful creatures.

300
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,120
Indeed, they're called godbees for that reason.

301
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,520
Small questions from my head, how many realms are there?

302
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,120
I know we're going to talk about them.

303
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:22,480
There are eight main realms.

304
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,880
There's a few sub realms I'll bring up, but eight main ones from each of the eight winds

305
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280
of magic of the old warhammer world.

306
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,280
Awesome.

307
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,280
So yeah, and as, and like I said, these things would have given the chaos gods at least a

308
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,840
little bit of pause for thought.

309
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,840
So Sigmar and Agash went on a rampage.

310
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:48,400
He was the first after that, he found more gods who either were already gods or had become

311
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,720
gods through the end times.

312
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,280
He found the old dwarf gods Grimnir and Grigni.

313
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:02,000
They were bound to a mountain and they refused to talk about what caused that to happen.

314
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
They just didn't talk.

315
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,360
They just didn't want to talk about it.

316
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:05,360
Too stubborn, huh?

317
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:08,120
They were too stubborn and too embarrassed.

318
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:11,360
He freed them and Grigni was like, Hey, you know what?

319
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:12,840
You did me a solid.

320
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,160
Dwarfs are all about oaths and debts.

321
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,680
I'm going to offer you my services.

322
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,200
Grimnir on the other hand was like, no, I'm repaying the stat right now.

323
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,260
What am I going to kill?

324
00:19:24,260 --> 00:19:30,800
So Sigmar told them to fight another god beast named Volcatrix, the mother of the salamanders,

325
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,440
not the space Marines, the mythical animal.

326
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,200
And in a colossal duel, they killed each other.

327
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,860
Grimnir shattered into pieces known as Urgold and Volcatrix corpse created volcanoes as

328
00:19:42,860 --> 00:19:44,280
well as those salamanders.

329
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,240
In the realm of fire this happened, so that's kind of like I was saying, it's fantasy on

330
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,240
steroids.

331
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:57,360
The pre-setting lore is a god shattering into pieces and creating volcanoes from the fight.

332
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:58,360
Damn.

333
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,720
That must've been a, sorry, Grimnir or Grungi?

334
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,720
Which one?

335
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,720
Grimnir is the one who shattered.

336
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,320
Grungi is like the craftsman's god.

337
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Grimnir is the, you know, the slayer god, the one who's all about fighting.

338
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,280
Oh, that's pretty.

339
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:15,160
So this is like the slayer, the slayer god literally got shattered, which must've been

340
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,160
insane.

341
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Just a crazy man.

342
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:28,640
After them, Gorka Morka, Gorka Morka had fused and somehow the fusion had gotten trapped

343
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,840
in a giant blob of sentient amber.

344
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:38,360
So Sigmar freed Gorka Morka and then they immediately proceeded to beat the shit out

345
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:42,200
of each other for days on end.

346
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,400
And then at just at one point, you know how like when the lion and Leman Russ were doing

347
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,480
that campaign and they fought.

348
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

349
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,520
And Leman Russ just starts laughing and the lion knocks him out cold.

350
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,400
Cause he's just not, he's not having any of it.

351
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,400
Yeah.

352
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,360
Imagine that, but it's two Leman Russes and they both just realized the stupid fight they've

353
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:05,240
been having to start laughing.

354
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,240
But literally, but they were laughing the entire time as well.

355
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,240
Probably yeah.

356
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,480
Gorka Morka was having the time of his life and Sigmar, God or not, was originally a barbarian

357
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,520
king.

358
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,080
So he was having plenty of fun too.

359
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,640
He was like, Oh, I get to fight.

360
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,480
This is hell yeah.

361
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,160
Is this inside a realm or is this in like kind of...

362
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,660
This is in the realm of beasts.

363
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:30,080
So Sigmar's going to multiple kind of like Pokemon, he's collecting them all.

364
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,360
He's going across all the mortal realms and collecting the gods.

365
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:38,480
And then Gorka Morka actually for a little while joins his pantheon as well, which I

366
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,080
know orcs cooperating with others.

367
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,080
Weird.

368
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,340
But Gorka Morka was down with it at first, mostly because Sigmar would point at something

369
00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:48,160
and say, Hey, that's a problem.

370
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,380
Go kill it.

371
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:53,000
And then Gorka Morka would go and kill it.

372
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,240
So that was his contribution.

373
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,600
Next up, he found all of the elf gods.

374
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,000
Tyrion and Teclis are back.

375
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,800
They're now the gods of the realm, Heish, Light.

376
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,360
Tyrion was blind because he got into basically a staring contest with the sun.

377
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:09,960
Wait, what?

378
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,720
Is that real?

379
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Yeah.

380
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:19,000
It was essentially the manifestation of Heish's light.

381
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,840
And since it's the realm of light, it's a very bright light.

382
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,460
And Tyrion didn't want to puss out.

383
00:22:25,460 --> 00:22:29,840
So he refused to look away from her and he was blind.

384
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:38,080
Now, I think I've asked this way before, but how is Tyrion good with Teclis after he kind

385
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:48,840
of plotted to have his ever child yeeted into the Nagash soup, shall we say?

386
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,140
It helps that during the end times, Teclis did revive him.

387
00:22:52,140 --> 00:22:54,640
He didn't quite forgive him.

388
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,960
But when Manfred stabbed, or not stabbed Teclis, but stabbed Balthasar, and that led to Teclis

389
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,080
dying.

390
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:06,560
One of the only connections Teclis had left in the world just vanished into smoke.

391
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:13,380
So between that and the fact that when Teclis found him, it was pretty much his only companion.

392
00:23:13,380 --> 00:23:17,720
And also, Tyrion can see through Teclis's eyes.

393
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,000
Not his own, but through Teclis's.

394
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,400
That's kind of weird, I have to say.

395
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,560
Weird, but I don't know, it's kind of interesting, if nothing else.

396
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,360
So that's kind of how they're making up on it.

397
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:32,840
And they're dual gods, aren't they?

398
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,880
So they're both gods of the realm.

399
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:42,280
I think Tyrion technically outranks, if you want to say it, Teclis as a deity, but they're

400
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,560
both gods.

401
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,480
Okay, okay.

402
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,140
And then eventually Sigmar finds them.

403
00:23:50,140 --> 00:23:51,300
He finds Malekith.

404
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:54,800
His name is now Malarian, because changing his name to Malarian is easier than trying

405
00:23:54,800 --> 00:24:00,600
to sue Marvel Comics, because Marvel also has a dark elf character named Malekith.

406
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:08,880
Yeah, Thor the Dark World, definitely everyone's favourite movie, hands down.

407
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,800
Awful movie or not, no amount of Games Workshop lawyers bullying is going to get Disney to

408
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,720
back down, so the Games Workshop chose the route of discretion on this one.

409
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,280
Didn't they try and copyright the word Warhammer?

410
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,400
I believe they did, and they also tried to copyright Space Marines.

411
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,480
Even though I think they tried to copyright pauldrons once too.

412
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:39,560
Yeah, that's, that's a, you know what I mean, like someone is smoking something fishy, and

413
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,200
I'm over here with my campfire and my marshmallow eating the remnants of Andy.

414
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,400
But that is, that's, you know, audacious.

415
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,360
Is that why they're called, the only thing I do know is they're called ales, aren't they?

416
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:52,600
I was just going to bring that up.

417
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,640
You'll notice if you look at the fantasy races like orcs are oryx, elves are ales, dwarfs

418
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,920
are duarden.

419
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,440
I'm calling them what they are.

420
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,520
I'm not, I'm not going with GW copyright crap.

421
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,520
It's a dwarf.

422
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,780
I don't call it a duarden if you want.

423
00:25:05,780 --> 00:25:06,780
It's a dwarf.

424
00:25:06,780 --> 00:25:11,380
I bet no one calls them by their like, their retcon names.

425
00:25:11,380 --> 00:25:14,660
Even the people who love AOS more than fantasy, like it's a dwarf.

426
00:25:14,660 --> 00:25:16,360
It's a fucking dwarf.

427
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,960
Anyways, though.

428
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:25,880
Both gods are found, Malekith, Tyrion and Teclis, and Marathi also survived, but she's

429
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,320
not quite a god yet.

430
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,400
Keep that yet in mind.

431
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,520
Allariel too, for the realm of life.

432
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:41,840
Malekith was the god of shadow, Ulgu, and Allariel is the goddess of the realm of life.

433
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,880
And you know, they're all part of the pantheon too.

434
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,420
Not always, you know, in the best of terms because one of them is Nagash.

435
00:25:49,420 --> 00:25:52,520
No one likes Nagash.

436
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,960
Even now, no one likes Nagash even now.

437
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,960
No one likes him.

438
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,280
Tyrion might have kind of forgiven Teclis.

439
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,000
I don't think he forgave Nagash for eating his daughter.

440
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,560
That makes sense.

441
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,640
But you know, they're doing their best to recreate the world as they knew it and make

442
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,200
it better in any way they can.

443
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,080
So Teclis and Grugni do their best to bring the mortals of the world up to snuff.

444
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,640
Nagash fills out the underworlds and creates places for the dead to go.

445
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,640
He also eats all of the other death gods that existed because there used to be other death

446
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,640
gods.

447
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,400
And then Nagash ate them and then there weren't any other death gods.

448
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,200
But you know, and like I said earlier, Gorka Morca just beats the shit out of anything

449
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,180
that's big enough to threaten them.

450
00:26:37,180 --> 00:26:43,040
So for a while, everything is about as nice as you can ever hope to be in a warhammer

451
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,040
setting.

452
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,880
There's some small scale conflict, yes, and there are actually beastmen, the children

453
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,940
of chaos, but not in large enough numbers to truly threaten anyone.

454
00:26:53,940 --> 00:27:00,120
And indeed, at one point, there's even a skaven incursion into one of the mortal realms.

455
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:04,160
And the entire great clan that invades gets wiped to the last rat.

456
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,360
As they deserve it.

457
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:11,040
But also kind of sad because the rat, the skaven are the best part of the whammy fantasy.

458
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,440
Yeah, well, if we know anything about them, there's always more.

459
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,760
So this plan's gone, but that's hardly all of them.

460
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,080
I do want to ask you about skaven blight by shoot.

461
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,960
We're going to talk about that later.

462
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,400
It intrigues me.

463
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,960
It's I'll bring it up shortly because we're almost to the end of the age of myth.

464
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,800
But this is around the time a lot of the factions begin popping up.

465
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,580
Some of them might not be active for a while.

466
00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:42,800
But the the like the luminous realm lords of the order are actually created around this

467
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,680
time as are the item that deepkin.

468
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,480
But for a couple different reasons, the luminous do not participate in the early age of sigma

469
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,080
universe, which for reasons I'll get to.

470
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,480
But a lot of the factions have their origins here.

471
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,600
The age of myth.

472
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,720
This wasn't gonna last forever, though, because as we said, I said it's cyclical chaos comes

473
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,840
back eventually.

474
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:14,040
Early on, it was dealt with semi easily because the gods are all still united.

475
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:19,700
Like I said, the skaven were wiped that great clan down to the man.

476
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:23,160
But they still survived because good old thank cool.

477
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,520
The biggest the horned rats, funny clown.

478
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:32,080
Yes, him and the horned rat, who's now the great horned rat and a major chaos god after

479
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,800
the end times just teleported all of skaven blight to the warp.

480
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,440
They can just do that.

481
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,800
They were just like, this is in the warp now.

482
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,840
And then the skaven.

483
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,520
Keep in mind, you know, the warp, it's the realm of chaos.

484
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,520
It's infinite.

485
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,520
Would you would you agree with that statement?

486
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,880
Hell, it's it's an infinite realm.

487
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:59,000
The word infinite is weirdly enough, infinite and yet not infinite, because again, it makes

488
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
no sense.

489
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Yeah.

490
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:08,640
It's it's even more confusing in 40 K because there are like actual places and then they're

491
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,600
not all in the same timeline.

492
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:16,440
It's it just doesn't make if you're new to Warhammer, it just think of the laws of physics.

493
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,440
Don't apply anything.

494
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,240
The warp do not apply.

495
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,720
And speaking of things that don't make sense, the skaven managed to dig so deeply into the

496
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,980
warp from skaven blight that they crashed it halfway back into reality.

497
00:29:30,980 --> 00:29:33,960
Don't think about that sentence because I don't understand it.

498
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:39,440
I do have a I think I have a slight theory about that if I can go into it, please, which

499
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:47,080
is that I assumed you say the realms, I'm guessing are they kind of like dimensions

500
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:53,160
or they they're they're more like planes of existence, you know, D&D, how there's like,

501
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,760
you know, the like the different planes, like there's the Underdark and also it's kind of

502
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,260
like funny enough.

503
00:29:58,260 --> 00:30:01,120
This is gonna be a reference to Thor, the Dark World.

504
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,640
You know, the part near the end of the film where they have all those like, there's kind

505
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,080
of like those disks of like those portals line up.

506
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,840
I'm going to be honest, I've never seen that movie and I never plan on it.

507
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,400
Well, you're the lucky one.

508
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,400
Well, essentially they have.

509
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,560
It's a funny enough a similar plot where the realms are all lining up.

510
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,060
They want to use a super weapon to basically destroy them all at once.

511
00:30:24,060 --> 00:30:29,120
And I assume it might be, is it like that similarly with the realms and age of same

512
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:35,720
or whether they kind of they're not like physically near each other, but in a sort of, I guess,

513
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:43,080
esoteric idea of like being next to each other, they can kind of line up or they are all connected

514
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,080
in a way.

515
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,440
I'd say it's kind of like that.

516
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,800
And there are connections between them known as realm gates, which is you go through the

517
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,900
realm gate and you enter one realm to another.

518
00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:56,740
And sometimes there, you know, that what you would imagine a big gate of fire takes you

519
00:30:56,740 --> 00:30:58,740
to the realm of fire.

520
00:30:58,740 --> 00:31:02,320
Other times it's weird things like you fall asleep under a certain tree, you wake up in

521
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,800
a different reality.

522
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,120
That'd be confusing.

523
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Yeah.

524
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,600
Realm gates are wacky as are the realms, but we'll get to, we'll get to the realms a bit

525
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,600
later.

526
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:18,820
Is it like the web way in Warhammer with a kind of like wormholes, not tunnels?

527
00:31:18,820 --> 00:31:21,160
Kind of, but not quite.

528
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,600
It's a similar concept, but the details are different.

529
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,360
Like no realm gate.

530
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,080
Like it's not like you go through a realm gate and then you're in the same system of

531
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,320
tunnels for every realm gate.

532
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,560
They differ between each.

533
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Like some are undoubtedly very much like the web way.

534
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,080
Others, like I said, you fall asleep next to a certain rock, you wake up in a different

535
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,200
reality.

536
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,120
It's meant to not make sense essentially.

537
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,120
Yeah.

538
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,120
It's a mystery.

539
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,120
It's, yeah, it's a mystery.

540
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,040
And I think it's held by the fact it's a fantasy setting, which you don't need to explain things

541
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,040
as much.

542
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,320
You can just go, it's, it's magic.

543
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,320
It just happens.

544
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,320
Yeah.

545
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,320
This is not sci-fi.

546
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,320
It's yeah.

547
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,320
Fantasy.

548
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,320
Yeah.

549
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,320
Okay.

550
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,320
Okay.

551
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,840
I think I'm, I think I'm on it.

552
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,360
I was just slightly, I get slightly confused about how to.

553
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,360
No, no worries.

554
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,120
Like the point of this is to explain OOS, isn't it?

555
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:16,360
It's just, I get confused about how to, I guess, map it in my head.

556
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,760
I think I've said this like just between us two as well, like in our own discussions,

557
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:25,880
like how to kind of like, I was going to, I had like a rant about this before where

558
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,240
I know what the Warhammer old world is.

559
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,960
I know where all the factions are and where everything's placed.

560
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:38,080
Cause I can look at a map and I think, yeah, AOS is slightly like, I don't have my bearings,

561
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,360
if you know what I mean, where it's hard to figure out where everyone is.

562
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:48,280
So, but it's not, so like if it was a map of the realm, it's more of a representation

563
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:54,040
of what they look like rather than where they are actually placed.

564
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,040
Yeah.

565
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,200
Like there is some maps like I sent you one now.

566
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,200
I can see it.

567
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,200
Yeah.

568
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,680
We'll put this in the video for the listeners, but just to try and give a brief description

569
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,840
just for an audio listener.

570
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:08,840
Yeah.

571
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,200
So each realm, like some realms you will find a maps like that actually wasn't the one I

572
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,200
wanted to pull up.

573
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,240
This is a different map I was going to pull up that I think is a bit better.

574
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:23,320
Like this is one of the map of the realm of Heish light where the Luminath are.

575
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:28,720
You can find maps of them that are fairly reliable, but the thing about the mortal realms

576
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:34,820
is games, worksheets says they're nearly infinite, which means they're narratively, they are

577
00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:36,360
infinite.

578
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:43,120
Like kind of like how in like science fiction, warhammer and just sci-fi in general, you

579
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:48,520
can cross a galaxy in two days, but crossing a planet takes like three months.

580
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:55,440
Oh, so the realms are much more warp like in a sense then they're much, they have less

581
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,520
rules to them.

582
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,800
They're not like a material, they're not like round material world planets.

583
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,720
Yeah, not quite.

584
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,760
There's a, there's, and when we get to the realms a little bit, I'll explain them a bit

585
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,760
more.

586
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,360
But there's each realm has its own rules, but it's not necessarily each realm is just

587
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,280
a square or like a circle.

588
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,280
Oh, okay.

589
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,600
I'll, I'll, we'll get to that.

590
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,240
I guess in a bit then.

591
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:23,240
Indeed.

592
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:28,680
Back to the age of chaos, it's creeping in early on their fought back, but eventually

593
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,880
Archaon finally appears and the Pantheon on top of that begins to fall apart.

594
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,120
Yes, it turns out Archaon, by the way, the chaos gods just sent him into universes to

595
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,440
destroy them every now and then.

596
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,400
So he's, this is like, he's like here, this is his holiday destination.

597
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,440
He's in the realms.

598
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,480
Archaon is just blowing up universes in his spare time between warhammer fantasy and AOS.

599
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,760
They figured like, well, shit, this guy did it once.

600
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,080
Let's have him keep doing it.

601
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:01,260
How, so he very quickly, just how long is the age of myth?

602
00:35:01,260 --> 00:35:04,360
Is that like thousands of thousands of years?

603
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,200
They left it up to an interpretation.

604
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,360
It's definitely not millions, but beyond like, I'd say thousands.

605
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,800
There's no specific timeline.

606
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,640
I guess it's up to you to decide, which is a kind of a running theme with AOS.

607
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:26,120
It does not like dating things or calendars, which to some point is kind of annoying because

608
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,780
it makes getting into it a little bit harder.

609
00:35:29,780 --> 00:35:33,840
But it does have a lot more room for homebrew and creating your own little storyline out

610
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,840
of the setting.

611
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:40,080
But so we do get to the point of age of, I assume then we get to age of chaos.

612
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:46,120
And what the reason is obviously called age of myth is this must be long.

613
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,120
This is long.

614
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:53,920
The age of myth must have been a long time for it to be called a myth.

615
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,240
Yeah, it was whatever the specifics are.

616
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:57,240
It was a while ago.

617
00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:02,960
I like that kind of builds into the cause a lot with AOS stuff, it often appears quite

618
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:03,960
quick.

619
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,520
Like it's oh, snap your fingers and it happened.

620
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:12,320
But in world it's been around for perhaps even longer than 2500 the coronation of my

621
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,320
boy Carl Franz.

622
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,800
Sorry, I had to read that.

623
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,520
Of course, always appreciated.

624
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:23,440
Yeah, but Ikeland, you know, supreme emperor, we all grew up in Galama.

625
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,440
Yes, all that good stuff.

626
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,280
But yeah, age of chaos time.

627
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,040
They eventually appear and the pantheon begins to fall apart.

628
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,060
Gorko Morko was the first to leave.

629
00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:40,040
He never really cared for civilization building because he's an orc.

630
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:45,320
I guess two orc gods fused together, but same difference as far as where it goes.

631
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:50,960
And he what he did the way he left was he took all of his you know, the orcs and the

632
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:57,600
Alliance, what would become Grand Alliance destruction, declared a war across all of

633
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:05,400
the mortal realms, marched across all of them with his orcs and just wrecking shit.

634
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,800
And then turned around and did it again.

635
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,800
How did they get orcs at this point?

636
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,520
Is that something they do?

637
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,280
They make orcs during the age of myth?

638
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,200
Or did they get them?

639
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:23,800
I would be told the way the orcs appear, I could not find.

640
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,480
Some of it would be Gorko Morko probably made some orcs who wanted the boys around.

641
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,960
Others, it's kind of like could be like Warhammer fantasy where they're just there because they're

642
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,880
orcs and you can't get rid of them.

643
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,680
But you know, the black mold in your ceiling.

644
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:39,680
Yeah.

645
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,280
Oh no, it's a war axe.

646
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,720
I should also mention that each most of the races have different backstories for how they

647
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:48,120
were created.

648
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:54,080
Like the ogres, I believe many of them think that they were created from Gorko Morko's

649
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:59,520
drool and therefore are representative of his great hunger because they're still very

650
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,120
hungry fat men.

651
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:07,640
Whereas like in the old world, they're made by the old ones to be more resistant to chaos.

652
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:08,640
Yeah.

653
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:13,680
So if you want, as just a thing going forward, the backstories for these races, you will

654
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:18,560
very frequently find that there are many different backstories that are oftentimes conflicting

655
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,560
with each other.

656
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:25,040
Like lost to the age of myth and the age of chaos now is just ruined it.

657
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,760
And it's just become like this is what the people nowadays in the setting think happened.

658
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:36,400
It's probably wrong or at least only partially right, but there's only so many solid answers

659
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,400
to give.

660
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,400
That's part of the setting.

661
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:44,960
But they've declared the war, is this at the same time as Archeon, Archeon, you know, boom,

662
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,160
kicks in the door and you just, you can doom, doom, all of the doom guy coming to like take

663
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,400
on some furrows, if you know what I mean.

664
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,400
Yeah.

665
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,680
A little bit before Archeon crept in, but chaos had been creeping in by this point.

666
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,760
So Gorko Morko got bored and was like, I want to fight everyone.

667
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:06,320
So he just rampaged across the realms until Sigmar smacked him so hard, he split back into

668
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,320
Gorko Morko.

669
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,320
Oh.

670
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,480
And yeah, quite the hard hit.

671
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,280
And then they kind of centered around the realm of beasts with the rest of destruction

672
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,040
after they're all kind of corralled into there.

673
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,480
Next, L'Oreal decided to solely focus on defending her realm from Nergal rather than the mortal

674
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,040
realms as a whole.

675
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,320
And that'll come to bite her in the ass later.

676
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:36,760
Tyrion, Teclis, Malekith and Marathi meanwhile left the pantheon to go beat up Slaanesh because

677
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:43,560
Slaanesh, unlike the other gods, had glut herself on elf souls and had to take time to digest

678
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,840
them all.

679
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:52,920
So she basically hid in a corner and then the elven gods found her, captured her in

680
00:39:52,920 --> 00:40:00,240
the realm between Olgu and Haish in this like weird, gatoey light sub dimension.

681
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:01,240
Which one's Olgu?

682
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:02,240
Is that the darkness?

683
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:05,320
Olgu is shadow and Haish is light.

684
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,880
After they capture her in this weird sub dimension between both of those and bound her with these

685
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:09,880
massive pillars.

686
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,880
She's not in the realm of chaos.

687
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,880
She's not.

688
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,880
She was taken out of the realm of chaos and locked in this realm because while she was

689
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,400
digesting her souls, she was defenseless.

690
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:27,120
And while they did take Slaanesh out of the great game, still other three chaos gods deal

691
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:32,600
with and Tyrion and Teclis and Malekith decided to basically just go home to their own realms

692
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,800
and create the elves from fantasy as best they could.

693
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:42,080
Which you know, on the bright side means they'll get more factions eventually down the line.

694
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:47,480
On the downside that means three of the strongest gods are no longer actively fighting back

695
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,600
the chaos incursions that are happening more and more.

696
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:57,400
Grimnir still dead, still shattered to pieces so he's not helping.

697
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:02,960
Grimni goes into self-imposed exile as the forces of chaos overrun the dwarf holds in

698
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,880
the mortal realms.

699
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,280
And funnily enough Nagash is the last one to leave.

700
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:15,320
Which might seem shocking but on the way out he basically kicks Sigmar's forces in the balls

701
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,120
so very on brand for him.

702
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,080
Betrays them and just stabs Sigmar in the back.

703
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:28,080
And this all comes to a head at the battle of the All Points which is called that because

704
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,760
unlike pretty much anywhere else in the mortal realms this is where you can access all eight

705
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,000
of them from one spot.

706
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,800
So Sigmar and Archaon take their armies and come to a head.

707
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,720
Sigmar throws his hammer at what he believes is Archaon to finish him off quickly.

708
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:47,920
It was an illusion and his hammer gets lost in the warp.

709
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,600
So Sigmar doesn't have his hammer.

710
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,640
He has no more allies and his army is falling apart around him.

711
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,880
So he retreats to his realm of Azir, the heavens.

712
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:05,160
And again, not great, it's called the Age of Chaos for a reason.

713
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:10,600
Ends in defeat and he calls upon the elven gods to ensure that his realm is completely

714
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,480
invisible to the machinations of chaos.

715
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,880
And he basically just takes his ball and goes home.

716
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:25,520
For the pantheon themselves, I guess it's kind of a, like even though, I guess they're

717
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,720
all, it's all mutual benefit, isn't it?

718
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:34,320
They're kind of not really friends, but they kind of are like, yeah, you know, the enemy

719
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,560
of my enemy is my friend kind of situation.

720
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:38,920
In a lot of cases, yeah.

721
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:47,100
Like Malekith still thinks Sigmar's just stupid barbarian who's playing at God, but he's willing

722
00:42:47,100 --> 00:42:51,560
to work with him at least for the time being, at least until it's stopped suiting his interests.

723
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:56,400
So they were all previously like, when you say that he led his armies, I assume this

724
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,520
is armies of, so Sigmar led armies of humans, right?

725
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,520
Yeah, he led armies of mortals.

726
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,160
So he, oh, not just humans and more like other.

727
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:12,020
It's yeah, there were elves and dwarves and everything still around and he would lead

728
00:43:12,020 --> 00:43:13,020
them into battle.

729
00:43:13,020 --> 00:43:16,040
He was very active at least early on in the Age of Chaos and myth.

730
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,000
Are they, are the races quite scattered?

731
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,320
So it's not just like homogeneous in each realm?

732
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:28,120
They, sometimes yes, sometimes no.

733
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:34,560
And a lot of times like the fire slayers faction, very isolated, they live in their own warrior

734
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:35,560
lodges.

735
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:41,780
But that being said, the great cities of the free guilds, which we'll get to later as we,

736
00:43:41,780 --> 00:43:46,920
they develop in the plot have worshipers of every God, every race.

737
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,880
Like Sigmar is going to be the mainstay there, but you'll find the worshipers of Tyrion,

738
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,840
Teclis, MacGash, even Gorka Morka.

739
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,540
They're kind of all over the place.

740
00:43:57,540 --> 00:44:04,200
So there's actually, so there's quite a lot of people as in like mortal race, it's quite

741
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,280
populous when the Age of Chaos basically wrecks it.

742
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,280
Yeah.

743
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:16,160
But is more, there's more, would you say there's more civilization than there was in the old

744
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:17,160
world?

745
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,560
There's definitely is.

746
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,920
The mortal realms are larger than planets each individually, and there's a lot more.

747
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,960
Part of the reason the Elven gods screwed off was because they noticed there weren't

748
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,960
as many elves as there should be, which is why they started freeing Elven souls from

749
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,060
Slash when they captured her.

750
00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:38,480
But even with that reduced number from what there should have been, there was still a

751
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,920
lot of elves, a lot of dwarfs and a whole lot of humans.

752
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,320
So that's what you mean by the scale is way bigger.

753
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:51,840
That's the part I always struggled with with AOS was like, I always thought it was like

754
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,560
the same numbers of the old world.

755
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:59,920
But again, I could see now it's like, oh, this is like, this is multiple old world level.

756
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:02,840
They're an old world in each of these realms.

757
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:03,840
That's a lot.

758
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:04,840
Yeah, it's big.

759
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:10,720
That's kind of cool, there's a lot to explore in the future.

760
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:14,640
Yeah, it's a lot of room for narrative to be made in.

761
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:22,120
But now the age of chaos, Sigmar takes his ball, goes home and things get worse.

762
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:27,560
The Nergal invades the realm of life to capture a L'ariel and turn into his own.

763
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,720
Oh no, we've seen that before, haven't we?

764
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:33,600
He's a L'ariel destined for the jar, I'm afraid.

765
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,320
Elven goddess gets kidnapped.

766
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,320
Wow.

767
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,800
Oh, yeah, very original.

768
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,440
Elven goddess of life at that.

769
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,880
The dwarfs held on to their holds for as long as they could, but even that couldn't last.

770
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,240
And many of the survivors became known as the dispossessed because they have no more

771
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:52,320
homes.

772
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,600
Others fled into the skies and would become the carriage and overlords.

773
00:45:55,600 --> 00:46:01,840
More, of course, the fire slayers I mentioned a bit earlier who worship the dead god Grimnir.

774
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,160
They survived through a mix of just being really good at fighting because they worshiped

775
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,960
a war god.

776
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:12,480
And on rare occasions, they would even contract themselves out to fight with chaos.

777
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:19,480
Oh, because they're obsessed with finding the shattered pieces of Grimnir in the ear

778
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:20,960
gold.

779
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,720
And if chaos offers a high enough price, they're willing to work with them.

780
00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:31,280
That's kind of cool, actually, because dwarves in our fence are a bit like stubborn, goody,

781
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,280
too.

782
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,880
They're always going to be on the side of good, whereas this is a more neutral gray

783
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:37,880
kind of.

784
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,600
Yeah, these these dwarves will do whatever it takes to get their god back.

785
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:43,600
I like that.

786
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,800
We said the ones retreated to the skies, the carriage and overlords as their holds were

787
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,680
falling, they built these massive sky ships and that's how they escaped chaos.

788
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,240
They just went to the clouds.

789
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:56,880
Damn, the old world should have thought about that.

790
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,960
That's a way better idea.

791
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:03,080
And and the rest of them became the dispossessed.

792
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,400
Is that a faction on the tabletop?

793
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,520
I've never heard of that one.

794
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:11,000
They're part of the like the cities of Sigmar, it's called, which is basically take the Empire

795
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,480
of Man and add a bunch of miscellaneous models from like the high elves, the dark elves,

796
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,400
the dwarves and put them into that soup.

797
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,720
So they're kind of people without a home.

798
00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:23,000
Like I said, dispossessed.

799
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,480
They're like, yeah, they're lacking a home and they live amongst the people of Sigmar

800
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:28,480
now.

801
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:29,480
It's like the first Hobbit film.

802
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,480
Oh yeah, yeah.

803
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:35,760
It's like when they get kicked out of Erebor and they kind of they wander, but they do

804
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,040
kind of gather for certain events.

805
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,960
Like I guess not me.

806
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:44,480
They didn't all gather to retake Erebor, but they kind of keep the connection.

807
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,120
Yeah, it's a lot like that.

808
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:53,600
This is mostly in the realm of Shamone or Kamon, however you want to say it.

809
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:58,320
I don't know, man.

810
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,600
Michael Jackson's up above praising our one video.

811
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,600
Good Lord.

812
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,320
They fell largely to Zeench.

813
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,720
The realm of beasts was just constantly attacked by chaos.

814
00:48:11,720 --> 00:48:15,640
It did hold out a little bit better than most though, because the realm of beasts are where

815
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,320
all the orcs and such are.

816
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,200
And they were just having the time of their lives because chaos, they didn't need to go

817
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,200
to the fight.

818
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,400
The fight would come to them now.

819
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:30,040
So chaos held out decently enough, or I mean not chaos, the orcs and beasts held out decently

820
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,680
enough against chaos.

821
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:36,720
Archeon himself fought Nagash and did win.

822
00:48:36,720 --> 00:48:38,000
He's the god of the dead.

823
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,520
He didn't really kill him.

824
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,240
He just kind of floated back to his capital and reformed himself.

825
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:44,880
It's like a game of thrones.

826
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,840
The ironborn, that which is dead may never die.

827
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,800
It's like for poor season 8.

828
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:52,800
I'm so sorry.

829
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,720
The flashbacks of season 8.

830
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,560
But it's like, you kill him, where's he gonna go?

831
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,400
He's gonna go home and come back.

832
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:02,400
Why can't he die?

833
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,400
I've always wondered that.

834
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,600
Well, I guess obviously the real reason is money and war into his head.

835
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:08,600
Oh yeah, the real reason is plot.

836
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:09,600
He's a main character.

837
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:15,500
Although in Warhammer fantasy, originally he invented necromancy.

838
00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:19,120
So if anyone's gonna know how to undo death, it's gonna be him.

839
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:25,920
There's a certain thing where they couldn't kill the Gitan in 40k.

840
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,240
It's because they only killed one of them, actually, fair enough.

841
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:34,560
But it was because the Necrons said that they had consumed so much life energy.

842
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,520
They had become essentially part of the universe itself.

843
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:43,240
And I wonder if Nagash is sort of the same, where you can't destroy Nagash because he

844
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:44,720
is part of the...

845
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:46,280
He's absorbed so much.

846
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:50,120
He's the fabric of literally death itself.

847
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:51,400
It could be part of it.

848
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,320
And as I'll talk a little bit about later, each of the gods of the realms are connected

849
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,420
to the realm.

850
00:49:56,420 --> 00:49:57,920
So that could be part of it.

851
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:58,920
Spoilers then.

852
00:49:58,920 --> 00:49:59,920
Too early.

853
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:04,920
But even with, you know, you can't really kill Nagash, his realm of death, Shaiash,

854
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,840
lost massive amounts of territory as cults were cropping up all over the place.

855
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,120
Because Nagash is just the worst person to be ruled by.

856
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:17,720
So they figured chaos can't be that much worse than he is, to the surprise of no one but

857
00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:20,360
Nagash himself, of course.

858
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,280
That being said, again, he's the god of the dead.

859
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:28,740
It only affected him so much because his forces don't need to eat, sleep or breathe.

860
00:50:28,740 --> 00:50:34,320
So losing someone's home doesn't really matter to the thousands of skeletons Nagash is using

861
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:35,320
to fight.

862
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,000
Don't need to consume Warhammer content.

863
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,120
Make sure you like the video, boys, if you're listening.

864
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,720
Total chill, but so is Nagash, so it's fine.

865
00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:50,700
On a map, it would look like Nagash took a lot of losses in practical terms.

866
00:50:50,700 --> 00:50:55,440
He just fortified what he had left with his massive endless armies and waited for someone

867
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,440
else to start fighting chaos.

868
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,880
I do have a question about the realm of death, but I think I'll save that for when we get

869
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:02,880
to it later.

870
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,320
But this is the age of chaos.

871
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,400
Is this like how long is it again?

872
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,880
Like it's just considered like thousands of years?

873
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,000
A while.

874
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,760
It's even, I think even less specific, for the age of myth.

875
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,480
It's a very long time though.

876
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:25,240
So when they get crunked, like it's a crunk, the official term.

877
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:32,840
So the people, like the mortal races and the gods, they are, it's not like a, is it a quickfall

878
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:37,400
or is it like, this is a Pyrrhic, you know, they have Pyrrhic victories, but then they

879
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:44,000
just slowly start to just get whittled down and it's the dead of in the thousands of thousands.

880
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:49,120
I personally believe it's the last one, but as is a kind of a running theme for AOS, a

881
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:50,600
lot of it is left rather vague.

882
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,400
So you can create your own idea of what the setting is like.

883
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,240
We can also do it.

884
00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:59,160
We can just basically discuss it, like what we're doing here then.

885
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:00,160
Yeah.

886
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,160
Like there's mystery.

887
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,880
There's a lot of empty spaces you can fill into yourself.

888
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:11,000
I like that actually, cause like some, fair enough, I have previously seen it as a negative,

889
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:16,920
but a lot, you know, some things is always, you know, the mystery of it, like once the

890
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,440
mystery is solved, it's like the missing Primarchs, isn't it?

891
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:20,440
In 40k.

892
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:26,840
We're all basically like being, excuse me, edged essentially for knowing that lore.

893
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:32,520
But I think once we did know, I know, no, I'm so sorry, but once we did know like what

894
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:37,760
happened and who the missing Primarchs were, I think we'd be disappointed, wouldn't we?

895
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,760
If we're honest.

896
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:39,760
Yeah.

897
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:47,320
So this is like a nice change where it's, yeah, like purposely up to you again, like

898
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,120
also for storytelling, I imagine there's a lot of opportunity.

899
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:52,240
It's very cool.

900
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:55,480
I believe the age of chaos lasts roughly 500 years.

901
00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:03,880
Oh, so not, not a quick fall, but still relatively for considering the size of the world, the

902
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:04,880
realms.

903
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:05,880
Yeah.

904
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:11,240
Although that being said, I think this is 500 years after chaos, like winds is when

905
00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:13,400
it starts.

906
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:18,840
So not like 500 years after they first show up 500 years after Sigma retreats into a Xyr

907
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,480
and chaos just starts running rampant.

908
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:28,480
Got even then it took 500, wow.

909
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:29,480
Yeah.

910
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:30,480
So what happens is, uh, Heish, uh, you know, we, we just talked about shyish death and

911
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,480
the gash losing, but it only does so much.

912
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:38,200
Uh, Heish was just another shit show because the Luminath were very busy recreating the

913
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:39,800
fall of the Eldar.

914
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,160
So the elves are in the light.

915
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,520
Which one is Sigma's realm again?

916
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:46,520
Heaven, Azir.

917
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:47,520
Heaven.

918
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,480
What's the difference between light and heaven?

919
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,480
It's kind of similar.

920
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:56,040
Uh, heavens is, I don't think it sounded weird, like lightning, like it's like astronomy or

921
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,120
astrology, like looking at the stars in the heavens.

922
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,120
Light.

923
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,120
Literally heavens.

924
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,120
Yeah.

925
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:08,800
Like light is more like, like literally light, like purifying bright geomantic white light.

926
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:09,800
Okay.

927
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:10,800
Okay.

928
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,720
So light, the realm of light got messed up.

929
00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:14,720
Yeah.

930
00:54:14,720 --> 00:54:18,840
The, the Luminath, uh, Teclis and Tyrion recreated the high elves of old to the best of their

931
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:25,440
ability, uh, and the high elves then proceeded to recreate the fall of the Eldar, uh, with

932
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,960
all of the fun only, only without the Silanesh demons being created.

933
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,760
And then the Silanesh demon showed up anyway, because even though Silanesh itself was locked

934
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,640
away, a lot of her demons weren't.

935
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,120
Uh, so they had to contend with that.

936
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:43,680
Tyrion and Teclis had to figure out how to save Heish.

937
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:48,800
And they do manage it, but Heish is essentially locked off from the rest of the world for

938
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,240
a while because they had to fix everything.

939
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:58,600
Uh, the only realm that is completely held off from chaos without just locking itself

940
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,400
away from everyone else was the realm of shadow.

941
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:07,760
Uh, Malekith is indeed the only god to fight Archeon and win.

942
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:12,760
Uh, the specifics of this are unknown as the lore hasn't been dealt into with Malekith

943
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:18,520
much, but the suggestion is that either Malekith is one of, if not the strongest god in the

944
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:24,680
setting or being the god of the realm of shadow has given him some neat tricks up his sleeve.

945
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:30,200
I think I heard the only one piece I do know just from, cause someone had mentioned it

946
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:34,600
to me where I think, did he fuse with his dragon?

947
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:35,720
He's a scaly now.

948
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:37,720
He's a dragon man thing now.

949
00:55:37,720 --> 00:55:42,880
But is, can he like inhabit a mortal, like can he change his form or is he like, or the

950
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:43,880
two beings?

951
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:50,560
He can become like insolid being of shadow, uh, whether beyond that or not, I don't know

952
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,360
because they haven't given him much lore.

953
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,960
Oh, so it's so that he's not being explored yet.

954
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,880
No, he's the focus has not been much on him yet.

955
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,120
He's got a little bit of tidbits, but not much.

956
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:07,920
Uh, and as for pretty much everyone else, uh, Sigmar initially allowed refugees to trickle

957
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:12,560
in, but eventually at a certain point he just had to close the realm off and purge any inside

958
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:17,120
who could be vulnerable to chaos and then got to work on a secret project.

959
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:23,480
Uh, during this time, anyone who survived outside of like Azir shadow and any other

960
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:30,360
holdouts basically survived in either highly isolated, highly fortified locations, uh,

961
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:36,200
survived as nomads wandering from place to place to avoid chaos, or they just submitted

962
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:37,360
themselves to chaos.

963
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,960
And for 500 years after Sigmar retreated, this was how things worked.

964
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,680
Order straight up hid and just didn't get caught.

965
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:44,680
They just did.

966
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,360
It just hidden got lucky.

967
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:51,640
Uh, and after centuries of labor though, Sigmar's plan was as ready as it was going to be.

968
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,040
It wasn't perfect, but now begins the age of Sigmar.

969
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:59,760
I don't think many people call it that in the universe.

970
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:04,360
Some people might, uh, Sigmar's worshipers, but certainly not like Tyrion, Teclis, Malekith.

971
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,720
They definitely don't call it that propaganda.

972
00:57:06,720 --> 00:57:07,720
Yeah.

973
00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:11,280
Like Nagash definitely doesn't call it the age of Sigmar.

974
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:16,920
Uh, but naming aside, it wasn't perfect, but Sigmar had created warriors that matched even

975
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:23,280
chaos's most powerful servants, the storm cast, eternals, or as many people might call

976
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:27,120
them the Sig marines or that the funniest to me is the ground marines.

977
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:33,280
Cause if you look at them, they're at least in models, if not in like lore, they're, they're

978
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:34,920
space marines in fantasy.

979
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:45,240
I was not impressed initially with their models as in the original, like basic ones of the

980
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,040
Sigmar marines.

981
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:51,040
But I think the more recent ones, like the one that looks, they look a little bit slimmer

982
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:55,880
now and they actually have like more kind of traditional, they're less just big, they're

983
00:57:55,880 --> 00:58:04,160
less cosplay space marines and more actually medieval armored knights or warrior.

984
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,000
Each one's like a warrior king.

985
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,400
Which is, it is getting better.

986
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,040
I'll just say, and I'm much more into it.

987
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:14,600
That's fair though, to be honest, I've always liked them because anytime something has that

988
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,680
golden face mask design, I instantly love it.

989
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,840
That's like my kryptonite to just love a design.

990
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:25,800
I think, uh, I think it's, I think the helmet too fair is the saving grace.

991
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:30,720
I think the shoulders is what gets me just cause they're basically like space ring pads.

992
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:31,720
That's fair.

993
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:36,200
But it's also very much the intention of giving fantasy its own space Marine iconic thing

994
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:37,560
to look at.

995
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,840
Also to, it's an easier model to paint cause it's yeah.

996
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:45,880
And that it'll get into newcomers like, Hey, easy to paint a lot of flat surfaces.

997
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:46,880
Here you go.

998
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:48,880
They do look, they look cool now though.

999
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:54,560
Some of the, I don't know which ones they are, but the one with the spear and shield,

1000
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,680
that one is, I don't remember the unit name, but I don't remember the name of it, but that

1001
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:01,280
one is dope to me that I enjoy that one.

1002
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,280
Indeed.

1003
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:07,000
Um, but he created them by taking an individual who was about to go down standing against

1004
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:12,360
chaos to the last and spiraling them away from certain death to be reforged with Sigmar

1005
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,360
and very own strength.

1006
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:19,280
And to top it off, they're given weapons and armor crafted from the core of the destroyed

1007
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,680
warhammer world that Sigmar was once flying on.

1008
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,180
Ooh.

1009
00:59:24,180 --> 00:59:29,520
And pretty much without warning, uh, the gates of his ear flung open and in great bolts of

1010
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:38,080
lightning, which if you ever played devil may cry, I can't help but imagine that playing,

1011
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:39,840
uh, bury the light.

1012
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,900
I am the storm that is approaching.

1013
00:59:41,900 --> 00:59:48,240
And then thousands of thousands of Superman showed up to beat the snot out of chaos.

1014
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,200
And that's honestly the best image.

1015
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:52,200
Yeah.

1016
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:53,200
Where's Virgil?

1017
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:54,200
Where is he?

1018
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,200
Yeah.

1019
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,680
And if you look at Sig storm cast eternal art, it looks like a walking power metal album

1020
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,200
cover.

1021
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:07,760
So this was the way he said his armies marched out as in how would, how did he stop them

1022
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,760
from getting into his realm again?

1023
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,240
Did he say he'd lock the gate?

1024
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:19,400
Let's, uh, Tyrion and the Malekith forged this magical wall around his ear.

1025
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,600
And I'm sure the lizard men, the slan who are also in his ear had a hand in it, uh,

1026
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,520
that prevented chaos from scrying in.

1027
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:29,680
Oh, so they, they had, they had no idea this was coming.

1028
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:30,680
No.

1029
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:31,680
Yeah.

1030
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:36,680
Sigmar hard locked the place down and then killed anyone who might be potentially chaotic

1031
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:37,680
inside of it.

1032
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:44,880
So they couldn't open the gates and the armies of sigma, I'm guessing are in a huge, right?

1033
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,640
At this time here, this is the push.

1034
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:52,120
He's had 500 years to create them, work on them.

1035
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,160
So he has his own space Marine legions.

1036
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,160
Essentially.

1037
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:57,160
He's throwing into the fray.

1038
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,200
Are they accompanied by mortals too?

1039
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:01,200
Or is it?

1040
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:02,200
They are.

1041
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:03,200
Oh, that's kind of cool.

1042
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:08,760
Those on the tabletop, though, the old fantasy models that didn't get replaced, you know,

1043
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:13,880
of the empire, the high elves, the dark elves that are formed into one faction, uh, those

1044
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:18,040
accompany the storm cast or turtles to kind of garrison what they capture and fill in

1045
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,080
any holes as auxiliaries.

1046
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:27,560
Is the, is the technological state at the time kind of the same as what the old world

1047
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:28,560
was?

1048
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,240
So they brought it back up to that.

1049
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,240
Yeah.

1050
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,440
Was it, has it been like that for a long time or is that they reached this?

1051
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,320
It was kind of like that for a while.

1052
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:42,720
And then the age of chaos happened and it kind of stopped progressing for a bit because

1053
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,800
coronate demons murdered everything.

1054
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:53,680
So kind of like in a 30 K 40 K where like the height of technology was previous epoch

1055
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:58,600
and then they like, they kind of possibly rediscover better weapons at some point.

1056
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:05,240
I wouldn't say the heights more of it kind of stagnated because when chaos demons are

1057
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:10,640
rampaging across the land, you don't have much time to research, but they didn't lose

1058
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,200
much.

1059
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:16,560
There's certainly a lot of lost treasure and artifacts and stuff scattered about, but it

1060
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:22,520
wasn't so much as like they completely forgot how to learn things so much as they stopped

1061
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,020
focusing on it and started focusing on what they knew how to do.

1062
01:02:26,020 --> 01:02:32,800
Is it much more, I get this into as much more magical in terms of innovation rather than

1063
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,800
like straight up science as like, you know, it's also science.

1064
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:42,080
I feel like this, as befitting a magical setting, a fantasy

1065
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,920
setting, it's a lot more magical than sci-fi.

1066
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:50,520
Although the dwarves, especially the carriage and overlords in their sky cities, definitely

1067
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,480
a lot more sciency.

1068
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:57,520
Although what sciency is by the definitions of a fantasy setting, is it science?

1069
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,880
Is it fake science?

1070
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:03,800
Or is it to the point of when, what's the core, isn't it like if people don't understand

1071
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:09,000
it to a certain level, it can appear like science can appear like magic in a way.

1072
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:14,080
Probably some of it, but also some of it is no, this is just, it's just fucking magic.

1073
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:20,000
Oh, what's the, there's a setting, I can't remember which one it is, but like, basically

1074
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,440
because magic works in the setting, like people don't innovate to a certain level because

1075
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:28,520
they're basically over reliant on magic.

1076
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,440
Willing to bet you're thinking of Eberron.

1077
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,840
I can't, I might, it might be that one.

1078
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:33,840
I don't know.

1079
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:40,560
I think it is, we say that's the same thing in AOS where like magic is pretty, like, like

1080
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,520
they don't make it like a gas lamp, will they?

1081
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,320
They'll make it like a magical torch.

1082
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:46,680
You know what I mean?

1083
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,920
Like they're kind of, they won't, their minds don't think the same way.

1084
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,040
They definitely, it definitely hasn't replaced it.

1085
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:57,640
Magic is oftentimes used instead of it, but they're still advancing technology.

1086
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:01,760
Like some of the cities in the mortal realms are industrial centers of science.

1087
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,080
Oh, so it's like a little, it depends on where you go.

1088
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:09,040
So maybe you could say it's like, it's a little bit further than the old world, but like barely

1089
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,040
in time.

1090
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:11,040
Yeah.

1091
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,040
Okay.

1092
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:16,640
And if you go to like the Luminath, their cities, nothing but magical focus.

1093
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,680
Whereas if you go to the carriage and overlords, nothing but technological focus.

1094
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:25,320
Whereas, you know, the places in between those other realms have a bit of a mishmash.

1095
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,220
They're varying on the scale.

1096
01:04:27,220 --> 01:04:34,080
So now Sigma's kind of, you know, he's kicked the door down, you know, I imagine Tenacious

1097
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:39,040
D. Do you know the song, the song, the best by Tenacious D.

1098
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,280
The best song in the world?

1099
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:41,280
No, no, no.

1100
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:42,280
It's just called the best.

1101
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,600
Like to be the best, you gotta pass the test.

1102
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,480
You gotta make it to the top.

1103
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:47,840
Oh, I've heard that.

1104
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:48,840
Yeah.

1105
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,080
That's probably also playing in the back.

1106
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,840
That was very delight and Tenacious D.

1107
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:52,840
Yes.

1108
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:57,480
And then you notice that Jack Black's leading his armies across the mortal realm.

1109
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:58,840
So they're mortal realms.

1110
01:04:58,840 --> 01:04:59,840
Yeah, the mortal realms.

1111
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,200
I hate trying to say immortal.

1112
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,360
So this is the end of the age of chaos?

1113
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,600
Or is this like, yeah, this is kind of the end of it.

1114
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:13,200
Reality itself is beginning to almost break down under the strain of the chaotic corruption

1115
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,200
going through it, which is why Sigmar did it when he did.

1116
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:23,520
His process wasn't 100%, but it was now or never and the realm gate wars or what they

1117
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,160
are known are begins.

1118
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:30,760
Sigmar's objective was to recapture as many of those realm gates that traveled between

1119
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:37,480
realms as he possibly could, which would not only allow supplies to be ferried back and

1120
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:43,240
forth with ease, but for civilization to have a very solid gathering point to form around

1121
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:50,200
and regroup and it was difficult.

1122
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:55,920
But though through time and the efforts of the storm cast and their allies, every realm

1123
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,740
had some order presence solid once again.

1124
01:05:59,740 --> 01:06:04,680
And for once in Warhammer, chaos was on the defensive, not the other way around.

1125
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:10,920
I kind of imagine it like, does this make sense to you where imagine it's kind of like

1126
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:17,960
their archipelago islands and they basically have to land like landing forces and that's

1127
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,040
how they kind of take it in a way.

1128
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:25,800
But there's no like real, there's no like main land mass in terms like all the realms

1129
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:27,800
together.

1130
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:32,400
Magical D-Day is a very good way to think of the realm gate wars and the storm cast

1131
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,400
of journals busting down the door.

1132
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:38,800
That's actually, that's way better than my own version.

1133
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:47,560
So this is the storm cast, I guess in each realms like forces and the other gods as well.

1134
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:52,480
Yeah, like as the storm cast are busting their way in and beating the hell out of chaos,

1135
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:58,580
the other realms kind of, if not awaken, then start fighting again.

1136
01:06:58,580 --> 01:07:01,200
Like Nagash is like, oh, hey, we're doing stuff now.

1137
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:02,320
Yeah, I'll activate.

1138
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:06,840
I'm not going to fight on your side again, Sigmar, but I'll do things against chaos.

1139
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:16,080
Kind of like Lord of the Rings third age with the, yeah, kind of like the last, or that's

1140
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:17,480
like second age, isn't it?

1141
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:18,480
Oh yeah.

1142
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,080
I was going to say like more like whatever they call it.

1143
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:22,080
I don't remember.

1144
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:28,640
I should be like the one with Aragorn, like the time Aragorn arrives, you know, in Gondor,

1145
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,960
it's not the height of their power and they've been whittled down for ages.

1146
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:36,120
And then this is like a, you know, it's not Gondor full strength, but then it basically

1147
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,840
just kicks it all off and it renews.

1148
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:43,160
Yeah, that's, yeah, that's kind of what it is.

1149
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:51,600
And for example, in the realm of life, Olariel dies because she just dug into her own realm

1150
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:57,280
and was alone and Nergal had a field day with the realm of life, but she's the goddess of

1151
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:58,280
life.

1152
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:02,040
So, you know, life, death, rebirth, however you want to think about it, she becomes this

1153
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:08,480
soul pod thing and the storm cast plant her soul pod into the ground and she's reborn

1154
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,600
as a warrior queen.

1155
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,680
And together her and the storm cast managed to purge much of the realm of life of Nergal

1156
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:15,960
corruption.

1157
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:20,320
Not all of it, but enough of it.

1158
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:28,560
In the realm of Heish, the Lumineth, like I said, with Tachylus are reinventing themselves

1159
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:32,720
and managed to largely purge chaos on their own as well.

1160
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:36,560
And the Lizardmen, and I have a story about Lord Kroak for you, Hal.

1161
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,520
Oh, hit me.

1162
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:43,600
They can now see the future to a better degree than even Zech.

1163
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,760
So they can now out plan Zech.

1164
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,040
That confuses me.

1165
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,040
Yeah.

1166
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,440
They're very, very good at what they do now.

1167
01:08:53,440 --> 01:08:57,520
And some lore suggests that this is their own great plan.

1168
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:04,720
Other lore suggests that the Old Ones of Warhammer fantasy planned so far ahead that Age of Sigmar

1169
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,640
was taken into account and planned for by the Old Ones.

1170
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:13,600
That's like, that's definitely like a, yeah, I planned, yeah, I totally was meant to miss

1171
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:18,200
that shot because, you know, I was meant to get your head for later on in the game.

1172
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:23,560
And then, and yeah, and now whatever, whatever you want to word it as, whether or ever you

1173
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:31,320
want to believe, the Lizardmen now just show up in front of chaos armies.

1174
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:44,440
And it's such a stupid, but like the fun kind of stupid where it's like, oh my God, that

1175
01:09:44,440 --> 01:09:48,240
is ridiculous.

1176
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:54,400
But it's, it's still formed themselves into, you know, on their pyramid spaceships, the

1177
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,560
lightning down into reality.

1178
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,840
And some of them don't do that.

1179
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:05,680
Some of them instead, once they form in reality, they form permanent colonies and terraform

1180
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,440
the land around Lustria.

1181
01:10:08,440 --> 01:10:16,520
And there was one battle where in one of these conflicts, the, the stars themselves formed

1182
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:23,280
themselves into the shape of a grinning frog and the Lizardmen beat the absolute hell out

1183
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:24,280
of chaos.

1184
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,360
I, this, that does make me happy.

1185
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:30,320
And who do you think that grinning frog who did that was?

1186
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,960
Praise be Lord Pepe Croak.

1187
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:39,840
On his, he's just, I know he doesn't have it in any art, but he must have a cigar at

1188
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:40,840
all times.

1189
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,640
And he's just like, it takes a couple of puffs and just like, yeah, yeah, I'm just going

1190
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:45,640
to mess your day up.

1191
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,360
That's all, it's all he ever says.

1192
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,840
So he just, he just lightnings in and just takes a puff.

1193
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,120
I'm here to mess your day up and it's, it's game over.

1194
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:55,120
Yeah.

1195
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:56,760
Well, uh, you can say cigar.

1196
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,760
I prefer 10 D's for a marshmallow.

1197
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:07,280
Like, like I had, like you've got on your stick, my little, my power stick.

1198
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:08,920
It wasn't a complete stomp.

1199
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:14,840
For example, when Arkeon was like, all right, I see how it is.

1200
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:19,040
He wiped out an entire storm cast to a man.

1201
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:24,600
So the, uh, the war, the war hammer age of sigma version of the lost lead legions wasn't,

1202
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,080
you know, the emperor had to purge them.

1203
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:31,160
It was, our Canada was sick of their shit and just wipe them out.

1204
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,440
Is he more powerful in this?

1205
01:11:33,440 --> 01:11:36,040
He, everyone is more powerful.

1206
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:44,720
Is he a demigod or is he, he is easily a demigod and indeed many of the forces of chaos

1207
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,960
worship him as a God.

1208
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:53,360
Some of the slanish worshipers even worship him as a replacement slanish other, because

1209
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:57,060
you know, slanish is gone as far as they're concerned.

1210
01:11:57,060 --> 01:12:00,320
Others view him as just Arkeon, another God.

1211
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:05,080
Does he, does he patron the horned rat as well?

1212
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:11,040
Uh, each of the chaos gods, Nergal, uh, corn and zinch gave him their blessing except for

1213
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:12,040
the horned rat.

1214
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:17,400
Uh, when the horned rat went to bless Arkeon, he spit in his face.

1215
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,400
He spit in his face, the horned rat's face.

1216
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,800
Arkeon spit in the horned rat's face.

1217
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,240
Jesus, that's ballsy.

1218
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:28,460
So not only ballsy, but as for the power level of Arkeon and the other gods in the setting

1219
01:12:28,460 --> 01:12:33,320
that they're able to fight him to some extent, quite high.

1220
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,480
Uh, the power level is definitely over 9,000.

1221
01:12:37,480 --> 01:12:42,360
Yeah, definitely, is this literally like we've gone to Dragon Ball Super and everyone is

1222
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:43,360
just like planet killers.

1223
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:48,200
We've gone to Dragon Ball Super where power means nothing and also everything and everyone

1224
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:53,920
has a new form and it means nothing and everything because this is a war game setting on crack.

1225
01:12:53,920 --> 01:13:00,200
I'm sorry, can I just, I have to mention the, the absolute genius who put under the YouTube

1226
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:07,840
video of Dragon Ball Super thing that said if I had ever seen Goku, Frieza and Android

1227
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:14,600
17 fighting together, I slap you so hard in Dragon Ball GT canon.

1228
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,040
That's uh, yeah, that's age of Sigmar.

1229
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,520
It's off the walls.

1230
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,160
Jesus Christ.

1231
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,120
And that is the Realm Gate Wars.

1232
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,080
Chaos is on the defensive.

1233
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:32,280
It's uh, and early on, excepting wherever Arkeon goes, because wherever Arkeon goes,

1234
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,000
it's kind of a stomp.

1235
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:42,480
But aside from that, you know, chaos is actually losing ground for once, which I fucking love,

1236
01:13:42,480 --> 01:13:43,480
I gotta say.

1237
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:48,440
How long has the Realm Wars been going on or is that unspecified again?

1238
01:13:48,440 --> 01:13:55,080
Another thing unspecified, uh, though it's long enough to where each realm aside from

1239
01:13:55,080 --> 01:14:00,320
Shadow because Shadow never really got corrupted, was able to regain footholds.

1240
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:01,320
So it was-

1241
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:02,760
So millennia most likely.

1242
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:08,680
If centuries, if not millennia, as long as you think it would take, although personally,

1243
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:15,560
I honestly, if you'd like my opinion, I think this took place over a single century, if

1244
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:16,560
that.

1245
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:20,440
Maybe longer if you want it to be, but I personally think it was much shorter.

1246
01:14:20,440 --> 01:14:26,800
I think Sigmar threw open the gates and then the Stormcast went to town on chaos.

1247
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:27,800
Makes sense.

1248
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:28,800
Makes sense.

1249
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:33,000
But again, up to, up to the individual to decide.

1250
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,200
That's as I've said, said a lot.

1251
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:41,240
What if they're even saying time, time for it doesn't work in the same way.

1252
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:44,680
They're not all on the same compass or so.

1253
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:51,480
No, they're indeed not roughly similar, but gotcha in the, uh, you know what?

1254
01:14:51,480 --> 01:14:53,040
I'll save that for later.

1255
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:58,920
But in one of the novels that I've basically spoiled of who's back, but we'll pretend

1256
01:14:58,920 --> 01:14:59,920
I didn't.

1257
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:04,760
Uh, one of the characters, one of the dwarfs says that you can go 500 days in the realms

1258
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:10,680
of shyish or fight like centuries and shyish and not a day will pass in the age of fire.

1259
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:17,000
Oh, so like when I, so me saying it happened over centuries and millennia makes no sense

1260
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:22,440
cause it could have, the walk would be finished up in one and then the other one, it hasn't,

1261
01:15:22,440 --> 01:15:25,800
it's they've only just took the first step.

1262
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,600
It's barely been a day, but at the same time it's also been a century.

1263
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:30,600
It's weird.

1264
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:33,800
It's still cool though to be fair.

1265
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:37,580
It's what I think it does really well is it makes it look like the, like the ultimate

1266
01:15:37,580 --> 01:15:43,840
high fantasy setting because everything is this grand epic myth in the age of Sigmar,

1267
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:49,440
which while yes, dating it down and categorizing it is just not happening.

1268
01:15:49,440 --> 01:15:55,120
It's it's got its own charm where it's like, this is all just this mythic tale, not like

1269
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:56,120
a history.

1270
01:15:56,120 --> 01:16:00,320
It's more like the Greek myths of, you know, Zeus rebelling against Kronos, that kind of

1271
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:01,320
thing.

1272
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:05,960
Don't go for like, and this happened in 1500 23 BC.

1273
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:11,800
Zeus over through Kronos go for in the land before, you know, the age before Sigmar chaos

1274
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,720
invaded and now Sigmar is back, baby.

1275
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:18,920
That's kind of how you should approach age age of Sigmar.

1276
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:20,120
If that makes any sense.

1277
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,880
It does, but I just in my head is like a bit mind blowing.

1278
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:25,480
So yeah.

1279
01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:30,000
And it does have its downsides, but I think it has its upsides as well.

1280
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:34,040
If you want me to give my take on it.

1281
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:40,120
What's after this is known as the realm gate lord, realm gate wars, these massive gains

1282
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:44,260
by the storm cast into the forces of order kind of lose steam.

1283
01:16:44,260 --> 01:16:48,560
It's not that, you know, the storm cast, it's just like, and now the switch is flipped,

1284
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,760
chaos is back on the on the assault.

1285
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:58,800
But it's it's just more like the order blitzkrieg has kind of lost some steam to it.

1286
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,060
We're not quite at 1945 Germany.

1287
01:17:01,060 --> 01:17:03,840
We're more like 1942 Germany.

1288
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,520
Like once a war loses its momentum, you struggle.

1289
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:10,480
And I guess they'd fortify at this point.

1290
01:17:10,480 --> 01:17:15,480
Yeah, the the the forces of order and death and destruction, not destruction, because they're

1291
01:17:15,480 --> 01:17:16,480
not fortifying.

1292
01:17:16,480 --> 01:17:18,560
They're just going hog wild.

1293
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:24,480
But the other as many people as can fortify the gains they've made and begin to weather

1294
01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:27,360
the storm that will no doubt come.

1295
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:34,200
And Nagash has decided he's done getting the snot beat out of him, and sure enough, he

1296
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:39,400
basically gets half of second edition all to himself or himself to rake everyone over

1297
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:40,680
the coals.

1298
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:47,200
Was he did he previously ally himself again with Sigmar here or did he just ignore him

1299
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,440
know when he was singing about reconquering?

1300
01:17:50,440 --> 01:17:52,880
Sigmar tried to form a truce.

1301
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:58,240
And Nagash said, up yours, buddy, and murdered many of the stormcast that went to form a

1302
01:17:58,240 --> 01:17:59,240
truce.

1303
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,720
I bet he's can he steal the souls of stormcast?

1304
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:11,080
So the funny thing about that stormcast eternal reforging process, when a stormcast dies,

1305
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:18,400
their souls, instead of just dying, rocket back to a Zir to be once again reforged by

1306
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:19,400
Sigmar.

1307
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:20,600
Is that not?

1308
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:21,600
That's really not.

1309
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:29,760
When when someone dies in Age of Sigmar, I'm guessing it's not normal that the soul returns

1310
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,040
to does the soul?

1311
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:33,920
Do they return to their own realm?

1312
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,520
Or do they all go to the realm of death?

1313
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:40,840
That's again, it depends on the person.

1314
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:44,920
Most of them, which again, I know I keep saying this, but I'll cover when I get to the realm

1315
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:51,520
of death, they will go to their own afterlife, the stormcast eternal, go to Sigmar.

1316
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:56,520
They are intrinsically connected with him.

1317
01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:01,600
That being said, Nagash doesn't like that, because in his eyes, everyone should be gone

1318
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,880
to Nagash, not Sigmar, or the chaos gods or the elves.

1319
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:06,880
That's not fair.

1320
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:07,880
That's not how things work.

1321
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,040
When you die, you go to Nagash.

1322
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:11,840
So he's not a fan of this.

1323
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,720
Such is the power of Nagash.

1324
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:15,140
Such is the power of Nagash.

1325
01:19:15,140 --> 01:19:19,160
Every time you hear that quote, it's like, wow, that is, that's the only thing that that's

1326
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:23,480
the only part that makes you want to bash my brain against a wall.

1327
01:19:23,480 --> 01:19:26,400
It's so stupid.

1328
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:27,400
You may say it's stupid.

1329
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:33,440
I say, I think the Warhammer 40k villains need to step up their evil villain game, because

1330
01:19:33,440 --> 01:19:35,280
I hear such as the power of Nagash.

1331
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,920
I'm like, well, goddamn, I think I know who's in charge now.

1332
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,440
It's definitely not the the great four chaos gods.

1333
01:19:42,440 --> 01:19:44,160
Such is the bone pope.

1334
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,840
Such is the power of pancreas not working.

1335
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:53,520
Saying out loud makes it sound so funny.

1336
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:58,260
But this begins the soul wars and the gashes he's done screwing around.

1337
01:19:58,260 --> 01:20:03,720
He's done getting made fun of and he creates his black pyramid and then makes a lot more

1338
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:04,720
black pyramids.

1339
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:05,760
Yeah, he's not done.

1340
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:10,520
He makes more than one and then he makes them upside down and flying.

1341
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:17,200
So someone is smoking something, man.

1342
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:24,800
To be fair, you'd you'd think that this meant the skaven, you know, can't ruin it this time.

1343
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,520
They can't dig underneath it.

1344
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,960
Yeah, they can't dig underneath it.

1345
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,960
But you know, things happen.

1346
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:40,440
And fair's fair, chaos gods themselves show up actually to this ritual he plans.

1347
01:20:40,440 --> 01:20:42,960
Hello everyone, Colin here.

1348
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:48,360
If you're wondering why there's suddenly a cut to this diabetes happened.

1349
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:53,280
My blood sugar decided that it was the perfect time to go to 44.

1350
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:54,960
And that's not good.

1351
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,160
That's actually quite bad.

1352
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:58,640
But we're back now.

1353
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:03,720
And also same reason if you're wondering why towards the last couple minutes before this,

1354
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:07,240
my thoughts seem to turn into scrambled eggs.

1355
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:08,240
Low blood sugar.

1356
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:09,660
That's why.

1357
01:21:09,660 --> 01:21:15,360
So last off, we left before again, brain kind of started struggling there a bit.

1358
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:19,980
I was talking about the black pyramid he made again, because yes, he made more.

1359
01:21:19,980 --> 01:21:24,880
Like I said, made more and then flip them upside down because you know, what else are

1360
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,240
you going to do?

1361
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:31,240
And he planned to draw all of the magic and the mortal realms into shy ish so he could

1362
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,600
absorb it and become the ultimate god of everything really.

1363
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,280
I can't believe he's never tried that before.

1364
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,280
That's absolutely shocking.

1365
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:43,560
Yeah, he's almost like he's copied some homework here, hasn't he?

1366
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:44,560
Yeah.

1367
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:45,880
I mean, it's his own homework.

1368
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:49,440
So you know, can't be that bad copyright.

1369
01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:53,800
It's like going in my own video and bringing like bringing back a previous bit of voice

1370
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:59,200
work and then throwing it into a new video and then just not acknowledging it.

1371
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,400
Oh, just like, no, this is the original.

1372
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:02,400
What are you talking about?

1373
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:03,400
What do you mean?

1374
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:05,320
I made it up myself.

1375
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:12,860
But second verse same as the first as it were, because the Skaven ruin it again.

1376
01:22:12,860 --> 01:22:20,020
Because of course they exist to make sure that Nagash can never ever have nice things.

1377
01:22:20,020 --> 01:22:26,400
And what happens is this Eve the chaos gods themselves even showed up via avatars because

1378
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,560
failure or not, this was a pretty big thing he was doing.

1379
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,760
So what happened was they showed up in their avatars and the gosh laughed at them.

1380
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,440
He's like, I'm going to replace all of you.

1381
01:22:35,440 --> 01:22:40,000
And then they just take turns laughing at each other as the ritual just keeps screwing

1382
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,240
up.

1383
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:46,480
So the gosh laughs at them like I will become the big evil bad guy and replace chaos gods.

1384
01:22:46,480 --> 01:22:49,680
And then they laughed at him because the Skaven cocked it all up.

1385
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:54,160
And then he laughs at them because he considers even the screw up to be a success because

1386
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:55,160
you know what?

1387
01:22:55,160 --> 01:23:00,160
He might be an evil, horrible person, but you can't keep the gosh down.

1388
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:05,600
So what happened was though he didn't become all powerful, the ritual did succeed in a

1389
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:06,880
couple of things.

1390
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:14,000
Namely, it covered all of reality in death magic, all of the mortal realms.

1391
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:19,960
And this had several symptoms of this issue, we shall say.

1392
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:24,800
Them being one of the biggest ones, especially because it's a tabletop thing as well, endless

1393
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:26,220
spells.

1394
01:23:26,220 --> 01:23:32,320
So imagine how you're playing D&D or something and you cast fireball, right?

1395
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:33,320
Yeah.

1396
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,320
Imagine the fireball just doesn't turn off.

1397
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:40,760
Oh, that's like a, oh no.

1398
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:44,880
And it also has an animalistic mind to itself and can move around.

1399
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:51,400
Oh, is that one of those things where like someone like hits a baseball and it just doesn't

1400
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:55,640
come down and it just rockets into the atmosphere or something like that?

1401
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:56,640
Yeah.

1402
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:57,640
Yeah.

1403
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:01,200
Except the baseball has a mind of its own and a lot of the time it's malicious.

1404
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:02,200
Damn.

1405
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:05,480
That's endless spells.

1406
01:24:05,480 --> 01:24:11,040
So magic was not cast freely, I guess.

1407
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:12,960
It wasn't cast without thought.

1408
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:13,960
Yeah.

1409
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:15,560
Well, maybe at first it was.

1410
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,080
And then people caught on to the fact that hang on a minute.

1411
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:20,840
Every time I cast fireball, it keeps going.

1412
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:22,080
It doesn't stop.

1413
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:26,800
That would be really horrific for certain spells.

1414
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:32,280
Like I imagine what's the one like you can, Balsar could turn stuff into gold, but then

1415
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:33,280
just won't.

1416
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:38,680
And then it keeps spreading on the floor and it's like, it's like King Midas.

1417
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:39,680
Yeah.

1418
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,960
Like grab the children, take them out the room, turn them into the spreading gold spell.

1419
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:45,480
That's bad.

1420
01:24:45,480 --> 01:24:46,480
That happened.

1421
01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:48,600
Worse, the night haunt.

1422
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:49,600
Worse?

1423
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:54,280
A kind of a thing, the night haunt, the spooky, scary ghost faction, the like wraiths and

1424
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:55,280
whatnot.

1425
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,280
That shivers down your spine?

1426
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:58,280
Yep.

1427
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:02,680
Because, you know, they're ghosts, they're empowered by death magic.

1428
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:07,720
In places of high concentrations of death magic, they can start rising out of the ground.

1429
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:12,240
Problem is now all of reality has high concentrations of death magic.

1430
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:16,960
So across the mortal realms, billions of them began rising and attacking settlements.

1431
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:17,960
Billions.

1432
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,000
Billions with a B.

1433
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:25,720
So this is, this is an actual zombie apocalypse in AOS.

1434
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:26,720
Ghosts?

1435
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:27,720
But yeah.

1436
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,720
Or basically an undead apocalypse.

1437
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,760
Yeah, undead, ghost, zombie, whatever apocalypse.

1438
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,800
Now that is a storytelling opportunity right there.

1439
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:43,040
And on top of that, Nagesh unveiled his latest project and at the time, the newest army to

1440
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:49,600
age of Sigmar, the Ocearch Bone Reapers, and if the Stormcast are the ground Marines, these

1441
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:51,880
guys are the bone Marines.

1442
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:58,040
The fact that you said that out loud.

1443
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:00,360
Look you look at their models.

1444
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:01,360
They are, they are good though.

1445
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:02,560
They are cool.

1446
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,980
They look awesome, but they are the bone Marines.

1447
01:26:04,980 --> 01:26:10,720
To our grandchildren listening to this, we did say bone Marines.

1448
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:16,120
And this was known as the Necroquake and pretty much every faction, chaos, destruction, order,

1449
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:20,920
doesn't matter who, just constant siege by the armies of death.

1450
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:26,980
And it only finally came to a halt as Teclis and the Luminath finally make their appearance

1451
01:26:26,980 --> 01:26:29,280
on the tabletop and in the mortal realms.

1452
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:32,120
Teclis, you know, he's, he's a smart guy.

1453
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,520
He figured Nagesh is going to try some crap eventually.

1454
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:35,520
I just know it.

1455
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:36,520
Is he your favorite?

1456
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:40,520
A fucking my, him or Tyrion?

1457
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:41,960
Between the two of them?

1458
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:43,440
Like what do you have a favorite?

1459
01:26:43,440 --> 01:26:46,920
Cause I know you, you, you love, you're sorry.

1460
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:48,960
A elves, excuse me.

1461
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:49,960
Elves.

1462
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:50,960
Elves.

1463
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:52,320
You love your elves.

1464
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:55,120
So which do you have like a favorite character in AOS?

1465
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,120
I mean, Gottrick.

1466
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,120
Oh, true, true.

1467
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:00,120
Excuse me.

1468
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:01,120
My heresy.

1469
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:02,720
We'll get to that.

1470
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:08,840
But uh, or turns the elves though, is that honestly probably Eltharion?

1471
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:09,840
Good choice.

1472
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,840
He's pretty awesome.

1473
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:18,600
But for the, you know, the Teclis and all that stuff, Teclis with some help, uh, beat

1474
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:23,600
up Nagesh so hard that he can't form a body outside of his capital city.

1475
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:25,240
So good job Teclis.

1476
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,040
How did he, how did he do it?

1477
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,440
Uh, Teclis is a real damn good wizard.

1478
01:27:30,440 --> 01:27:34,760
And by that, I mean, he could probably fight Magnus the Red and win.

1479
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:39,000
He is OP BS hacks wizard.

1480
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,800
How did they invade the realm?

1481
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,520
Like didn't they just, they apparently like.

1482
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:46,520
Realm gate travel.

1483
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:51,440
So I feel like I saw a picture of like a floating pyramid and I thought, wait, isn't that, I

1484
01:27:51,440 --> 01:27:54,080
didn't know the elves had like floating things too.

1485
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,600
I've seen the artwork.

1486
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:57,600
That's all I know.

1487
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:02,160
The elves have like some weird crystal, like crystals, cause Heish is all about, uh, geometric

1488
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:08,720
stuff and nice smooth surfaces and like geometric stuff.

1489
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:12,920
So they've got every, they all have some weird stuff going on.

1490
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:17,640
So it's a tech because it's just basically Randy Orton slithering out.

1491
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:20,280
Teclis is just going to solve all of the realities problems.

1492
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,000
That is his job.

1493
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,840
Um, so he does that.

1494
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:30,440
Teclis does get cursed a little bit, but again, at least compared to fantasy, he's still doing

1495
01:28:30,440 --> 01:28:32,200
better than he was there.

1496
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:38,640
So the crash, like the, um, oh, the descendants of, oh, who's the.

1497
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:39,640
An Aryan.

1498
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:43,120
An Aryan different like that kind of curse level.

1499
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:44,900
It's not quite like a bloodline curse.

1500
01:28:44,900 --> 01:28:47,720
It's more like you have death magic curse.

1501
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:52,000
You don't do magic as good, but he's a little ill.

1502
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:58,800
He's a little ill, but that like, like Frodo with the, uh, like Frodo with the, um, the

1503
01:28:58,800 --> 01:28:59,800
morgal blade.

1504
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:00,800
Oh yeah.

1505
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:06,080
But then he's not, he's not quite Nespional horse and Wister Rivendell level, but he's

1506
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,040
like, Oh, this is, Oh, this is cringe.

1507
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:10,800
I'm not, I'm not feeling so good.

1508
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:11,800
Mr. Stark.

1509
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,880
Oh no, Mr. Stark.

1510
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:22,420
And so with, uh, the Necroquake is almost over and what happens is a L'Oreal, uh, finally

1511
01:29:22,420 --> 01:29:27,520
does something relevant to relevant to the plot and ends the Necroquake by casting her

1512
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:28,600
own version of it.

1513
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:30,720
That floods reality with life magic instead.

1514
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,640
It's like kind of canceling it out.

1515
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:34,640
Yeah.

1516
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:39,920
And of course, while this is happening, Bellacor decides, yeah, I'm going to join an age of

1517
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:40,920
Sigmar now.

1518
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:46,880
I'm going to be part of the plot and just start smashing realm gates to flood reality

1519
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:50,280
with chaos storms, which has us.

1520
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:51,280
Who made the realm gates?

1521
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:53,640
I always want, I'm wondering that now.

1522
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:58,760
Uh, was no one, does no one know who made the realm gates?

1523
01:29:58,760 --> 01:29:59,920
Some of them are, don't know.

1524
01:29:59,920 --> 01:30:05,040
I believe some of the gods might have made some in old times, but I think most of them,

1525
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:08,560
if not honestly, all of them are just natural.

1526
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:13,200
Or is it, they're not like, they're not like actual stone gates, whereas like a little

1527
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:16,760
portal in it, they're kind of a bit different.

1528
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:18,320
Some are exactly that.

1529
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:19,320
Others are weird.

1530
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:23,240
Like that dream thing, you know, fall asleep, you'll wake up another realm.

1531
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:29,400
It's, if you can think of a conceivable, like weird fantasy thing and want to make it a

1532
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,320
way to travel, it's a realm gate.

1533
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:32,320
Oh, is it?

1534
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:36,280
So maybe it's the other hand, if you want it to be a web way portal, it can be a web

1535
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:37,280
way portal.

1536
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:44,480
And is it more like maybe the original gates are like the weird tree one, but then people

1537
01:30:44,480 --> 01:30:49,120
over time have like forged like specific, I guess, doors on the gate, if you know what

1538
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,800
I mean, to help channel, if you know what I mean.

1539
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:56,760
Maybe that's where some, some could be because a few wizards are powerful enough to just

1540
01:30:56,760 --> 01:31:04,240
travel between places without realm gates, but others, it's, others are again, the weird

1541
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:10,200
metaphysical, whatever the hell others are created, but maybe they weren't created by

1542
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:11,200
anyone who's still around.

1543
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,640
It could have been lost the time.

1544
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:15,200
It's more of the age of Sigmar.

1545
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:19,360
You can want, let the setting be what you want it to be kind of vibe.

1546
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:23,680
So when, when the writers need a realm gate, when the writers need a realm gate, there

1547
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:24,680
is a realm gate.

1548
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:30,400
But fair enough to fair with warhammer 40 K it's like they need to get somewhere really

1549
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:31,400
quickly.

1550
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:32,400
Wow.

1551
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,600
I can't believe that web way portal is still open and it's not been corrupted by chaos.

1552
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:36,600
That's shocking.

1553
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:37,600
Wow.

1554
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:41,640
I can't believe the work travel worked in a way that it was only one day since we left.

1555
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:42,640
Yeah.

1556
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:50,400
The writers, the logic of the writers logic.

1557
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:51,400
It's part of warhammer.

1558
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:52,400
We love it.

1559
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:53,400
It's not meant to make sense.

1560
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,320
We're playing with our plastic toys on the tabletop.

1561
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:58,120
I don't know why we're overthinking it.

1562
01:31:58,120 --> 01:31:59,120
Yeah.

1563
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:02,840
That's the whole reason we're here.

1564
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:11,040
Whatever I got, but yeah, bellicor chaos storms, which not only, you know, chaos is bleeding

1565
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:14,480
into reality, which means demons are going to be a thing.

1566
01:32:14,480 --> 01:32:17,680
He also destroyed the slans future seeing devices.

1567
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:21,440
So a lot harder for them to out plans each now.

1568
01:32:21,440 --> 01:32:25,080
Also, they made devices, the tablets.

1569
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:26,080
Yeah.

1570
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,200
Like the, the ice salon.

1571
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:30,040
Oh, okay.

1572
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:32,080
So he broke at least some of them.

1573
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:34,920
So a lot harder for them to see the future.

1574
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:41,440
And these chaos storms had a very bad side effect of preventing stormcast souls from

1575
01:32:41,440 --> 01:32:43,200
returning to his ear.

1576
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:45,680
Oh, oh, I don't shoot.

1577
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,480
I think I forgot to fully mention it.

1578
01:32:48,480 --> 01:32:53,080
I did mention how Nagash wants all the souls when he dies.

1579
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:57,400
The problem with the stormcast forging process is that when they die, the gash takes a little

1580
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:58,800
bit of their souls each time.

1581
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:01,980
He's like, Hey, that's mine.

1582
01:33:01,980 --> 01:33:07,320
So after the first reforge, they started losing their memories.

1583
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:11,280
And if it happens enough times, if they die and get reforged enough times to lose enough

1584
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:15,520
of their soul, that they eventually become hollow husks, pretty much just filled with

1585
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:17,560
the essence of his ear.

1586
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,720
So they literally become automatons essentially.

1587
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:21,720
Yeah.

1588
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:25,800
Automata of Sigmar's wrath, pretty much.

1589
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:32,920
So that's an interesting idea for it because then it is in a way like the bad, bad word

1590
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:35,440
where people are in chains, if you know what I mean.

1591
01:33:35,440 --> 01:33:40,920
Like they're, they're kind of, well, guess their, their bodies are, they have more bodies

1592
01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:44,560
technically, but immortal souls, the stormcast.

1593
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:47,320
So their bodies can die.

1594
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:50,160
I think they can die, but they get reforged.

1595
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:51,160
They come back.

1596
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,920
Although I don't know where a new body is made for the soul.

1597
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:55,920
Yeah.

1598
01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:56,920
Yeah.

1599
01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:57,920
Okay.

1600
01:33:57,920 --> 01:33:58,920
Okay.

1601
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:03,240
So, but with this bellicose storm going on, well, they're just kind of locked off.

1602
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:05,680
So if they die, they get caught by chaos.

1603
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:08,760
Not great.

1604
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:13,280
So that being said, they do develop measures to counter them.

1605
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:18,360
They're not perfect, but they invent a special kind of stormcast armor who, when the stormcast

1606
01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:25,320
dies, it explodes in a cloud of energy so big that it pierces the clouds temporarily.

1607
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,920
So that's the response to this bellicose stuff.

1608
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:30,440
Not perfect, but it's something.

1609
01:34:30,440 --> 01:34:32,720
So they become like glitter bombs.

1610
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:33,720
Basically.

1611
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:34,720
Yeah.

1612
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:37,520
Matt McWes, where's Mark Rober right now?

1613
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:38,520
Oh, good Lord.

1614
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:46,520
I know he's in the setting helping the stormcast get back to their home.

1615
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:49,160
What a weird sentence.

1616
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:50,160
Excuse me.

1617
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:51,160
Wow.

1618
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:53,360
And finally we get to the air of the beast.

1619
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,560
The last major plots thing happening.

1620
01:34:56,560 --> 01:35:02,640
Alario's ritual, to go back to that, did a couple of things.

1621
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:07,120
Life magic spread throughout all the realms, which, you know, death magic's gone, but it

1622
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:12,160
energized the realm of GER, the realm of beasts to the point that everyone in it, remember

1623
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:14,960
they're mostly orcs?

1624
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:17,840
You cracked up all of the orcs.

1625
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:19,320
They're ready to fight now.

1626
01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:21,720
Cause like renewed with life.

1627
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:22,720
Oh no.

1628
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:23,720
Yeah.

1629
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:30,000
And it also woke up the God Kregnos, who's basically this locked up God of destruction,

1630
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,360
who was a God of destruction.

1631
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:36,800
So he's going to start destructioning things and just smashing the shit out of things.

1632
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:37,800
He's not an orc.

1633
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:38,800
Does he not?

1634
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:40,640
Does he look like an orc or is he?

1635
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:42,240
No, he looks like a beastman.

1636
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:45,440
In fact, when his model was teased, people thought he was a beastman model.

1637
01:35:45,440 --> 01:35:46,440
He wasn't a beastman model.

1638
01:35:46,440 --> 01:35:47,440
Is he?

1639
01:35:47,440 --> 01:35:48,440
I think I might have seen it.

1640
01:35:48,440 --> 01:35:52,080
He's like a, he's a weird like stag centaur thing.

1641
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:54,040
He's like the stag centaur thing.

1642
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,640
That again, you look at it and go, Oh, that's a beastman model.

1643
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:57,920
But no, he's not for the beastman.

1644
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:00,000
Cause the beastman don't get anything nice.

1645
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:01,720
Oh man.

1646
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:07,720
Or a taurox, the brass bull, that would be a, that'd be a sick model, but that would

1647
01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:13,720
be like the new Angraan model, but someone should convert the Angraan model into a taurox.

1648
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:14,880
That'd be sick.

1649
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:23,840
Oh, but as for Kregnos, Morathe and Lord Croak managed to stop him, but not like kill him.

1650
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,000
They just kind of trick him into walking through a portal.

1651
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:31,360
So he's someone else's problem, which to be fair, I think he just warps in front of like

1652
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:36,520
a chaos, like war camp and just obliterates it.

1653
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:39,560
Which I mean, fair is fair, problem solves, but Kregnos isn't gone.

1654
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:42,440
He's just angry somewhere else.

1655
01:36:42,440 --> 01:36:44,280
And that's usually how people deal with them.

1656
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,280
Now in the setting, they'd send him somewhere else to be mad.

1657
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:53,880
It was like send, it's like a child rampaging in a Walmart and then you just basically shove

1658
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:54,880
them into another aisle.

1659
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:59,520
You shove them another while and walk away as fast as you can.

1660
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:03,680
What, um, obviously uniforms, blue shirts or blue jackets they wear in Walmart.

1661
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:04,680
Oh yeah.

1662
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:05,680
Yeah.

1663
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:06,680
Yeah.

1664
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:07,680
Yeah.

1665
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:11,560
Just like you call the blue Morathe and Lord Croak and there's like the little blue uniforms

1666
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,160
and shoving him into it.

1667
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:14,800
There's a Kregnos in aisle 11.

1668
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:15,800
Oh man.

1669
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:18,040
I've never even been to a Walmart.

1670
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:23,840
And uh, two though, speaking of Morathe, uh, I said she's not a God yet.

1671
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:29,040
She's now a God in the setting because as it turns out, her faction is called the daughters

1672
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:35,760
of Cain and their whole religion is Morathe found Cain's heart from the old world and

1673
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:41,840
was worshiping it and forming cults around it to revive Cain.

1674
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:42,840
Except she lied.

1675
01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:48,880
She was kind of siphoning all the belief power going to Cain into herself to become a God

1676
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,040
on her own.

1677
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:56,000
And combined this with the fact that she entered Slaanesh on her own and started eating Phoenix

1678
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:57,220
King souls.

1679
01:37:57,220 --> 01:37:59,480
She entered Slaanesh, excuse me.

1680
01:37:59,480 --> 01:38:00,480
Yeah.

1681
01:38:00,480 --> 01:38:01,480
Hey yo.

1682
01:38:01,480 --> 01:38:06,400
You're also not going to be a fan of this next sentence I wrote because while she was

1683
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:13,080
in Slaanesh devouring Phoenix King souls, uh, she found an Arian.

1684
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:16,040
She found his soul.

1685
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:22,320
And she hesitated from devouring him because this is actually really depressing.

1686
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:26,440
She was the only person, or she was the only person she ever loved.

1687
01:38:26,440 --> 01:38:28,040
Even her son.

1688
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,480
Even I believe even over Malekith.

1689
01:38:30,480 --> 01:38:33,160
Damn man.

1690
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:37,480
And an Arian's response to this was to cut her in half while they were all up in Slaanesh's

1691
01:38:37,480 --> 01:38:46,120
guts and her soul was cut in half into a beastly form and a beautiful elven form.

1692
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:49,480
But either way, she's a proper God now.

1693
01:38:49,480 --> 01:38:53,160
She immediately takes over a city Sigmar controlled.

1694
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:57,640
They hash out a peace deal, but now order is even more fractured.

1695
01:38:57,640 --> 01:39:02,680
And as just a last couple of peacekeeping things, again, just as a keep in mind, this

1696
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:05,320
is not every single bit of lore.

1697
01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:09,100
It's just been long enough and there's a lot of lore in Age of Sigmar.

1698
01:39:09,100 --> 01:39:11,680
So go read up on it as a list though.

1699
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:15,120
Couple of peacekeeping things before we talk about the realms.

1700
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:17,680
Hash it is back, you know, the chaos dwarfs at the moment.

1701
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:18,680
They're pretty popular.

1702
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:19,680
Pretty free.

1703
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:22,680
I know Hashut the name.

1704
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:23,680
Essentially.

1705
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:27,480
That is the evil chaos dwarf god.

1706
01:39:27,480 --> 01:39:30,640
We'll have to talk about him sometime, I think.

1707
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:31,800
We will.

1708
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:36,640
But for those of you interested in him in Total Warhammer or just in general fantasy,

1709
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:41,500
he's back and so are the chaos dwarfs and he's even got some human followers now.

1710
01:39:41,500 --> 01:39:49,400
And of course, most importantly, if you were a fan of a certain book series, rejoice because

1711
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:54,480
Gottrick motherfucking Gurnison is still alive in the mortal realms.

1712
01:39:54,480 --> 01:39:55,480
Yes.

1713
01:39:55,480 --> 01:39:59,840
The world blew up and it still didn't kill him.

1714
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:01,960
Brian Blessed is just yelling somewhere.

1715
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:06,160
Oh, it's I started listening to those audio books and it is wonderful.

1716
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:07,160
I know Felix.

1717
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:08,160
I take it.

1718
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:09,160
Oh, no.

1719
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:10,160
Sorry.

1720
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,080
He shouldn't have said anything.

1721
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:13,240
Very sad.

1722
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:17,760
He's very angry at Grimnir because as far as he's concerned, Grimnir cheating him out

1723
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,500
of an honest death.

1724
01:40:19,500 --> 01:40:22,680
And now he's in this strange world where they don't call dwarfs dwarfs.

1725
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:24,320
They say Duardin.

1726
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:25,840
It's actually in the audiobook.

1727
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:29,960
Gottrick makes a point of like, what the fuck is a Duardin dwarf dwarf?

1728
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:30,960
I'm a dwarf.

1729
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:32,840
What do they think of him?

1730
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:33,840
Is he a god?

1731
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:37,080
At first, they think he's goddamn insane.

1732
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:41,940
And then even worse for Gottrick, he hates Grimnir.

1733
01:40:41,940 --> 01:40:46,760
Some fire slayers think he's Grimnir reincarnated.

1734
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:53,440
He just wants to find Felix and his old acts and they keep thinking he's their god reincarnated.

1735
01:40:53,440 --> 01:40:58,480
And for a couple of reasons that I'm not going to get into for spoiler reasons, they might

1736
01:40:58,480 --> 01:41:01,640
not be that far off the mark.

1737
01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:04,080
And that really doesn't make Gottrick happy.

1738
01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:09,320
He's just he's just brothers just trying to have a break.

1739
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,520
The universe is just nah.

1740
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:15,640
If there's any people who deserve a break, it's Gottrick and Felix and neither of them

1741
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:16,920
get it.

1742
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:22,000
I know that makes me that's what the end times that's the saddest part of the end times.

1743
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:26,960
But that is the plot of AOS for

1744
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:29,880
Wow, that's a lot.

1745
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:32,600
Really quickly to cover the mortal realms.

1746
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:36,680
Are there any pressing questions?

1747
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:41,720
I think I have a general quite a good idea now about what's going on.

1748
01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:48,800
The only I the only question I might have is with Marathi where where is Marathi?

1749
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:53,560
Is she in the same realm as Sigma or is she in her own?

1750
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:57,480
So all of the gods have worshippers across the realms.

1751
01:41:57,480 --> 01:42:02,040
But Marathi's main ones are also in the Ulgu shadow.

1752
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:09,600
Oh, so she's kind of in she doesn't have like a home base, I guess, or she's just like,

1753
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:11,640
she travels around.

1754
01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:12,640
She gets around.

1755
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:13,640
So Marathi gets around.

1756
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:19,160
Marathi gets around mostly in Ulgu shadow, but she has played outposts all over the goddamn

1757
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:20,160
place.

1758
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:26,240
Other than that, I think I'm ready to learn more about the the realms because this I love,

1759
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:29,040
especially like the environmental stuff.

1760
01:42:29,040 --> 01:42:30,040
That's my jam.

1761
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:32,920
I love that kind of description.

1762
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:33,920
Hit me.

1763
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:34,920
I'm ready.

1764
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:35,920
All right.

1765
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,180
So the eight of them and they're based on the old winds of magic and fantasy.

1766
01:42:38,180 --> 01:42:45,800
Like I said, you've got light, shadow, life, death, fire, heavens, metal and beasts or

1767
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:46,800
amber.

1768
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:50,240
Collectively, they are known as the mortal realms.

1769
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,300
And each of them has a god who embodies that realm.

1770
01:42:53,300 --> 01:42:55,680
And they're intrinsically linked.

1771
01:42:55,680 --> 01:43:00,080
So the gods doing good and the realms doing good, the gods doing good, the realms doing

1772
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:02,080
bad, gods probably doing bad.

1773
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:07,240
Did the gods forge the realms or did they just link with these realms?

1774
01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:15,680
Like when we said the serpent dragon thing at the beginning, they linked based on their

1775
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:18,800
incarnate status in the end times for the most part.

1776
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:21,000
The winds of magic they were bound to.

1777
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Yeah.

1778
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:26,600
Like in the end times, Teclis bound to the winds of magic to certain individuals.

1779
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:31,760
And for the most part, those individuals became the gods of the new mortal realms.

1780
01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:37,560
Not all of them, because Balthasar Gelt actually shows back up as Stormcast Eternal, but he's

1781
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:42,200
not the god of Shamoan, common, whatever the fuck.

1782
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:43,200
Shamoan.

1783
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:44,200
Yeah.

1784
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:52,560
But I was going to say then, does that mean in a way they don't really, like, it's not

1785
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,120
really their realm.

1786
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:58,640
The realm is just like more like part of them in a way.

1787
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:01,320
It's like more like inverse.

1788
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:08,680
Like Sigmar is heavens, but it's not because of Sigmar that the realm of heavens is like

1789
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:09,680
that.

1790
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:17,520
The realm of heavens is like with Nagash I said earlier, like Sigmar is intrinsically

1791
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:20,360
tied to the realm itself.

1792
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:26,600
So therefore it's more like the realm influences him, if you know what I'm saying.

1793
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:27,760
I think it depends.

1794
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:34,120
I think they just kind of got matched up with the fitting realm for them.

1795
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:37,120
It's a point of view, isn't it?

1796
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:38,120
Yeah.

1797
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:41,840
That's, which I know in a lot of ways is unsatisfying as a narrative answer.

1798
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:44,920
But maybe it's just not tackled then in that sort of...

1799
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:50,360
There is also some of it is mysterious and some of it is again just age of also not in

1800
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:54,160
any universe reason, but Games Workshop had these characters and want to kill them off.

1801
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:58,080
So now they're the new gods that have been changed around to fit.

1802
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:03,920
I guess also it's technically whatever the truth is, it's in the age of myth, which is

1803
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:09,280
again, so long in the past that you'd actually have to ask the god like what happened to

1804
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,520
even know because no one else would know.

1805
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:15,840
And even then they might not actually know like the dwarf god Grungni and you know, the

1806
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:16,840
white dwarf.

1807
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:17,840
Oh yeah.

1808
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:18,840
Snorri.

1809
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:19,840
No, not Snorri.

1810
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:20,840
Snorri knows by something.

1811
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,840
I have Snorri that knows by something.

1812
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:25,680
Snorri, the other Snorri.

1813
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,720
Yeah, that's the other Snorri.

1814
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:32,600
They actually know each other from the, you know, from the previous world.

1815
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:37,680
They know they were both dwarves, but they forgot what their relationship was to each

1816
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:39,060
other.

1817
01:45:39,060 --> 01:45:41,200
So they each call each other grandfather.

1818
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:42,200
Oh.

1819
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:46,720
So like even the gods don't remember everything because things have been going on for so long

1820
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:49,040
that even their memories aren't perfect.

1821
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:55,440
Also Sigmar's not like, he's still kind of, I guess that's why it's like Greek god, isn't

1822
01:45:55,440 --> 01:45:56,440
it?

1823
01:45:56,440 --> 01:45:58,440
They're not like, oh, and then I remembered everything forever.

1824
01:45:58,440 --> 01:46:00,160
And then I became even more powerful.

1825
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,520
It's just, they kind of stay a similar kind of powerful.

1826
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:04,520
Yeah.

1827
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:05,760
Like they do remember a lot of it.

1828
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:09,200
Like the whole thing with the Luminath realm lords is Teclis and Tyrion were trying to

1829
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:13,440
recreate the high elves, but a lot of it isn't like perfect memory.

1830
01:46:13,440 --> 01:46:15,920
Because it's just so long.

1831
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:16,920
It's just so long ago.

1832
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:17,920
Okay.

1833
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:20,240
So it's kind of cool though.

1834
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:27,600
But anyway, as the mortal realms themselves, they are that weird chart thing I showed you

1835
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:29,400
that's not actually helpful at all.

1836
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:30,400
Oh yeah.

1837
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:33,700
The organization to it.

1838
01:46:33,700 --> 01:46:37,440
So the way it works is death is below all of them.

1839
01:46:37,440 --> 01:46:38,720
It is the underworld.

1840
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:41,400
So it's technically under all of them.

1841
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:42,400
Oh my God.

1842
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:43,560
This is thought the dark world real.

1843
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:44,560
The discs.

1844
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:45,560
Yeah.

1845
01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:47,560
This is literally, are they like disc worlds?

1846
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:51,560
Where it's literally in thought the dark world where they're kind of like discs and they

1847
01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:53,920
all line up, they're like stacked.

1848
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:54,920
Kinda yeah.

1849
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:57,760
But not exactly.

1850
01:46:57,760 --> 01:46:59,920
Not exactly.

1851
01:46:59,920 --> 01:47:09,900
As you get, pardon me, Azir is above all of them for it's the heavens and Olgu and Heish

1852
01:47:09,900 --> 01:47:15,280
both circle around the realms forming the night and day of the mortal realms.

1853
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:20,080
Oh, that's, that's kind of hard to imagine.

1854
01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:21,080
Yes.

1855
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:22,080
But I'm kind of with it.

1856
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:23,080
Very weird metaphysical.

1857
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:28,800
And in between all of them is what's known as the aetheric void, which is basically just

1858
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:30,520
pure magic.

1859
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:31,520
Do not go there.

1860
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,600
It is pure unfiltered raw magic.

1861
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:36,260
Not even like the realm of chaos.

1862
01:47:36,260 --> 01:47:38,840
It's just pure unadulterated magic.

1863
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:45,120
Is there a sun or moon?

1864
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:49,840
Heish is essentially the sun.

1865
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:54,980
Although the problem with that is Heish also has the spirit of its own moon.

1866
01:47:54,980 --> 01:47:58,960
So there's a lot of weird metaphysical stuff going on.

1867
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:01,960
It's one of those things where you're not meant to think too hard about it, I guess.

1868
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:02,960
Yeah.

1869
01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:04,720
It's like I said, Aegis Sigma are structured as a myth.

1870
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:05,760
It's one of those things.

1871
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:06,840
Do not think about it.

1872
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:08,280
It's going to make your head hurt.

1873
01:48:08,280 --> 01:48:10,240
There's probably not a good answer.

1874
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:15,360
It's not meant to be viewed from an outside 3D perspective, I guess.

1875
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:16,360
No.

1876
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:17,360
Like a map.

1877
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:20,160
Saying something has a map doesn't make sense in Aegis Sigma.

1878
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,080
Because it won't be like that forever.

1879
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:25,480
Or even like saying like this Greek myth doesn't make sense.

1880
01:48:25,480 --> 01:48:26,840
It's not supposed to make sense.

1881
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:27,840
It's a myth.

1882
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:28,840
Okay.

1883
01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:29,840
Okay.

1884
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:30,840
I'm with you.

1885
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:31,960
I'm with you.

1886
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:38,800
So as for each realm, some common-ish characteristics, towards the center, the realms are each what

1887
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:43,120
you would think like when you hear their name, but kind of to a mild degree.

1888
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:48,920
So what I mean by that is in the realm of Akshi Fire, in the center, it's livable, like

1889
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:53,860
there's going to be arable land and whatnot, but it's going to be really hot.

1890
01:48:53,860 --> 01:48:58,600
But as you get to the edge of the realms and closer to that aetheric void, it becomes more

1891
01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:01,840
and more just raw magic and unlivable.

1892
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:07,480
I thought they were, are they not technically infinite then?

1893
01:49:07,480 --> 01:49:10,600
Not technically, but they're functionally infinite.

1894
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:13,880
Games Workshop says they're like, they're nearly infinite, which means for narrative

1895
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,360
purposes, they're as big as they need to be.

1896
01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:19,160
So there is theoretically an end to them.

1897
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:24,480
Most of them are, most of like all the realms is technically uninhabited then just by pure

1898
01:49:24,480 --> 01:49:25,480
scale.

1899
01:49:25,480 --> 01:49:26,480
Yeah.

1900
01:49:26,480 --> 01:49:27,960
But they're massive.

1901
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:30,560
So wow, this is still plenty to explore.

1902
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:33,280
It's a lot to wrap my head around, but I'm kind of with you.

1903
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:34,280
So.

1904
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:39,120
And so like in Akshi, you get closer to the edge, it becomes nothing but magma and volcanic

1905
01:49:39,120 --> 01:49:43,760
eruptions and just pure fire until you get to that aetheric void.

1906
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:44,920
And that's just Akshi.

1907
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:45,920
I kind of get it.

1908
01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:50,120
So like the central part, when you say center, I'm guessing that's near realm.

1909
01:49:50,120 --> 01:49:51,120
Yeah.

1910
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:52,440
A lot of the realm gates.

1911
01:49:52,440 --> 01:49:53,440
So I'm guessing that's.

1912
01:49:53,440 --> 01:49:55,760
There's going to be realm gates even farther out there, but no one's going to go to those

1913
01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:57,620
because you just die.

1914
01:49:57,620 --> 01:50:03,820
I'm guessing that's because when, so quote unquote center is because with all the other

1915
01:50:03,820 --> 01:50:09,480
magics, perhaps possibly some of them coming through the realm gates, that sort of neutralizes

1916
01:50:09,480 --> 01:50:11,280
the ground maybe a little bit.

1917
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:13,720
So that's actually livable.

1918
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:15,320
Not a bad theory.

1919
01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:19,200
I haven't read that, but honestly, that's a really good explanation for it.

1920
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:20,200
It would make that same way.

1921
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:21,560
I could rationalize it.

1922
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:23,920
Like I guess make sense if you know what I mean.

1923
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:28,760
Cause I can imagine, I guess all of the magics together kind of councils out into like a

1924
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:30,160
neutral thing.

1925
01:50:30,160 --> 01:50:35,000
So maybe that's what makes it slightly more habitable.

1926
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:39,320
Not a bad way to look at it.

1927
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:43,760
And but yeah, edge, it gets more and more weird as you go.

1928
01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:48,200
For example, in the realm of life, if you get close to the edge of the realm, you'll

1929
01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:51,800
find like living rocks and mountains.

1930
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:55,640
And if you go too far out, you may damn well fuse with the realm itself.

1931
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:59,280
Oh, that's pretty unpleasant.

1932
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:07,600
So you said the fire realm and the life ones here, they're not just super homogenous, they're

1933
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:08,600
right.

1934
01:51:08,600 --> 01:51:10,800
So when I say fire, there's like, it's not all volcano.

1935
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:15,600
There's some kind of like deserts and yeah, like it'll be like deserts or stuff like that

1936
01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:16,880
in the realm of life.

1937
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:22,960
Like, you know, it's not all just like pure jungle, super lush, tropical rain forest.

1938
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:29,040
It could be oceans, swamp, it could be like grasslands and super vibrant plains.

1939
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:32,200
So they're quite varied, like even within the realm.

1940
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:35,660
Yeah, even within a single realm, there's all sorts of different terrain.

1941
01:51:35,660 --> 01:51:39,920
But there's a general tone, like, like the rock and the fire one is like, it's usually

1942
01:51:39,920 --> 01:51:45,000
volcanic rocks and yeah, like there'll be themes, but like any variety you can think

1943
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:47,440
of using that theme will exist somewhere in the realm.

1944
01:51:47,440 --> 01:51:52,520
I'm guessing also the plants and animals are similarly themed as well.

1945
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:54,400
Yeah, it's like salamanders.

1946
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:59,760
Like, is that for like all the realms, like you wouldn't find like, you would only find

1947
01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:06,200
kind of fiery, like, you know, desert, maybe animals in the fire realm, you wouldn't really

1948
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:11,360
find or maybe you would find something similar in the life realm, but then it's just a much

1949
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:15,600
more plain and it's not less, it's more lifelike rather than fire.

1950
01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:20,280
Yeah, you might find some similar and maybe on rare occasions, some beasts might somehow

1951
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:22,640
travel across the realms, but for the most part.

1952
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:23,640
Oh yeah, yeah, true.

1953
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:32,880
But yeah, and just for some more general weirdness in the realm of beasts, the entire realm down

1954
01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:35,480
to the crust is alive.

1955
01:52:35,480 --> 01:52:40,760
So like, like the realm of beasts, because it's the wild untamed realm, whole thing is

1956
01:52:40,760 --> 01:52:44,840
alive, like the continents are creatures.

1957
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:49,360
Some of them are much more, I'm guessing some of the realms are much more paired, if you

1958
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:50,360
know what I mean.

1959
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:54,520
I'm thinking of it because when you say that, I think of the life realm, but I'm guessing

1960
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:58,480
like there's a thing where like obviously shadow is related to death, light is probably

1961
01:52:58,480 --> 01:53:00,480
related to heavens in some way.

1962
01:53:00,480 --> 01:53:04,920
Or isn't there some more similarities, if you know what I mean?

1963
01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:09,040
They have more similarities, but they're still distinct.

1964
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:11,160
Okay, okay.

1965
01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:15,440
And I was actually going to talk about Shaiash, you were talking about that earlier.

1966
01:53:15,440 --> 01:53:21,080
The realm of death works, yeah, Shaiash death.

1967
01:53:21,080 --> 01:53:25,040
With the realm of beasts though, what does it look like?

1968
01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:30,400
Cause I just, when you say it's all alive, I don't, is it just rock or is it?

1969
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:35,040
Oh, it's rock and everything, but the rocks are all these colossal continents that are

1970
01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:36,040
each alive.

1971
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:40,920
Is it just like filled with animals?

1972
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:47,440
Even if Katakan was a universe and also Katakan itself was alive.

1973
01:53:47,440 --> 01:53:49,120
Oh my God.

1974
01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:53,480
And that's the realm of beasts and also cover the entire thing in orcs and ogres.

1975
01:53:53,480 --> 01:53:57,080
Is it again got like volcanoes and like it's a bit of a...

1976
01:53:57,080 --> 01:54:01,600
Yeah, there'll be some other stuff like that occasionally, but it's just...

1977
01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:04,920
The whole realm feels alive in a different kind of way.

1978
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:05,920
Yeah.

1979
01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:12,080
In a way, even beyond like there are spirits in each realm, like Gurd, the realm of beasts

1980
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:14,040
itself is a living thing.

1981
01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:15,360
That's cool though.

1982
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:16,360
I like that.

1983
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:21,800
It's, yeah, each setting or each realm is almost its own setting.

1984
01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:25,480
As for Shaiash, just a little neat little thing.

1985
01:54:25,480 --> 01:54:30,120
Each civilization, cause there were many civilizations in mortal realms has their own underworld

1986
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:31,680
in Shaiash.

1987
01:54:31,680 --> 01:54:36,800
They all kind of coexist near each other and the way it works is when a civilization is

1988
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:39,360
still alive, its underworld is still around.

1989
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:42,760
And when a civilization is destroyed or just fades away into history and its culture is

1990
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:48,360
lost that underworld will fade away and the souls inside will fade into nothingness.

1991
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:54,240
I'm guessing Nagash doesn't let something like that slip his notice.

1992
01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:56,720
I just got a feeling about that.

1993
01:54:56,720 --> 01:55:02,360
It's kind of something he can't stop, but most of his Mortariks, his lieutenants, his

1994
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:05,520
soldiers are immune to it.

1995
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:09,920
And the thing about a lot of undead in Warhammer is they don't have a soul, like a zombie or

1996
01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:11,480
a skeleton doesn't have a soul in it.

1997
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:14,640
It's just animated by death magic.

1998
01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:19,800
So and if Nagash takes the souls and stuffs them into something, they don't fade away

1999
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:21,660
as their afterlife fades away.

2000
01:55:21,660 --> 01:55:29,200
The only brief bit I know about the undead stuff is there's the model of the catacross,

2001
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:35,760
the samurai looking one.

2002
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:44,620
I don't know the barest bones about a story of his which was that Nagash invaded his realm

2003
01:55:44,620 --> 01:55:46,480
of undead and recruited him.

2004
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:47,680
That's literally all I know.

2005
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:49,440
There's something about that.

2006
01:55:49,440 --> 01:55:54,280
Like there's different afterlives and Nagash is overlord of all of them because he ate

2007
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:56,640
all the other death gods.

2008
01:55:56,640 --> 01:55:58,680
Damn.

2009
01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:01,120
What's the realm itself?

2010
01:56:01,120 --> 01:56:03,800
Is it mostly just like...

2011
01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:06,240
It's a place where there are living people there.

2012
01:56:06,240 --> 01:56:11,720
Like people live side by side with other people's ancestors and spirits.

2013
01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:15,360
Yeah, but is it like Chicago?

2014
01:56:15,360 --> 01:56:16,360
The entire planet?

2015
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:20,000
Sorry if you're from Chicago.

2016
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:23,480
No, it's probably nicer than Chicago.

2017
01:56:23,480 --> 01:56:24,480
Wow.

2018
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:27,600
Nagash at least keeps order.

2019
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:28,600
Damn.

2020
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:35,360
Is it kind of like mountainous or is it what's like the general kind of tone of it?

2021
01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:39,960
Is it a bit like spooky forest?

2022
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:43,800
Spread a spooky ghost forest across an entire plane of reality.

2023
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:47,440
So there's smoke and there's like burnt trees.

2024
01:56:47,440 --> 01:56:52,240
And there's fog and dead craggy burnt trees and it's just the worst.

2025
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:55,760
But mortals live there.

2026
01:56:55,760 --> 01:56:56,760
Yeah.

2027
01:56:56,760 --> 01:56:57,760
Idiots.

2028
01:56:57,760 --> 01:56:58,760
Like mortals can live there.

2029
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:01,600
I mean to be fair when you're born there you don't have much of a choice.

2030
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:03,520
Not everyone has access to realm gates.

2031
01:57:03,520 --> 01:57:08,800
I guess they probably choose to live closer to near the realm gate part.

2032
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:11,360
If they can help it.

2033
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:15,840
And one last thing because I just wanted the realms really should know they're weird and

2034
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:17,880
do their own things.

2035
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:21,680
In life there's these things called lifequakes.

2036
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:25,280
So imagine walking down the street Hal.

2037
01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:26,280
You're now pregnant.

2038
01:57:26,280 --> 01:57:29,880
Oh, that's not why I thought I was going.

2039
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:31,320
Gender is not a factor in this.

2040
01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:33,520
So good luck out there gentlemen.

2041
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:37,160
Oh, okay.

2042
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:39,760
The realms are weird.

2043
01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:43,560
That is not what I thought when you say a lifequake.

2044
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:47,200
Yo, what the hell?

2045
01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:49,520
That's a slightly terrifying.

2046
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:50,520
That's quite terrifying.

2047
01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:52,520
I have to admit.

2048
01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:54,120
Jesus Christ.

2049
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:55,760
Yeah.

2050
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:58,840
The mortal realms are weird.

2051
01:57:58,840 --> 01:57:59,840
Who wrote that?

2052
01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:00,840
I wish one of the writers.

2053
01:58:00,840 --> 01:58:01,840
I have no idea.

2054
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:06,360
Someone is just huffing something.

2055
01:58:06,360 --> 01:58:07,360
Lord.

2056
01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:13,080
What's the life when you say the life realm?

2057
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:14,080
Yeah.

2058
01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:15,080
In the realm of life.

2059
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:16,080
Damn.

2060
01:58:16,080 --> 01:58:17,080
I wonder if I'm the worst one then.

2061
01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:21,200
Because it's just like the fucking life realm without my consent.

2062
01:58:21,200 --> 01:58:24,320
Jesus Christ.

2063
01:58:24,320 --> 01:58:28,200
And to really quickly just summarize what the Grand Alliances are not going to go into

2064
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:32,120
every faction because we'll be here for another three hours.

2065
01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:33,840
But just really quickly.

2066
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:35,280
Last bit.

2067
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:37,800
We have Grand Alliance Order.

2068
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:42,440
Not quite the good guys, but they're the ones who just don't want everything torn down or

2069
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:44,200
turned into zombies.

2070
01:58:44,200 --> 01:58:47,920
They're mostly the old pantheon members who didn't betray Sigmar so much as just kind of

2071
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:49,720
leave.

2072
01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:52,520
Destruction, the next Grand Alliance.

2073
01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:56,320
They're led by Gorka Morka and or Gorka Mork.

2074
01:58:56,320 --> 01:59:01,800
The orcs, the ogres, the goblins, all those stuff that just want to fight and just are

2075
01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:06,400
nuts and want to just get in a good old fight and eat all the time.

2076
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:12,240
There's Death, led by Nagash, who again, Death, he's not changed at all from Warhammer fantasy.

2077
01:59:12,240 --> 01:59:14,240
Still wants to kill everything.

2078
01:59:14,240 --> 01:59:19,600
Still wants to rule over an unchanging world of static death.

2079
01:59:19,600 --> 01:59:20,600
And there's Chaos.

2080
01:59:20,600 --> 01:59:21,600
It's Chaos.

2081
01:59:21,600 --> 01:59:24,400
It's the same as 40k.

2082
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:26,560
It's the Chaos gods.

2083
01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:31,320
Although the Skaven are a part of Grand Alliance Chaos too.

2084
01:59:31,320 --> 01:59:34,120
Because they had to fit in somewhere and that was the only place that would take them.

2085
01:59:34,120 --> 01:59:40,280
I think they fit in quite nicely because they are chaotic in nature.

2086
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:43,200
I get it, but I cannot.

2087
01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:45,760
I do not think the Skaven should be a part of anything.

2088
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:48,240
I think they should be the Skaven.

2089
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:49,760
Their own race of assholes.

2090
01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:54,640
To be fair, it sounds like the rest of Chaos kind of rejects them anyway.

2091
01:59:54,640 --> 01:59:57,480
Yeah, they're not exactly best friends with anyone.

2092
01:59:57,480 --> 02:00:01,380
It's more so, well the Horned Rat's here now and he has so many followers, it bloats his

2093
02:00:01,380 --> 02:00:03,480
power level to be more or less equal to us.

2094
02:00:03,480 --> 02:00:05,600
So we just have to accept this now.

2095
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:08,240
He's kind of like the Broly character of it.

2096
02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:09,240
He's just like, he's a little bit-

2097
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:11,360
I don't think the Horned Rat's Broly.

2098
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:13,360
Oh, who would you say he is?

2099
02:00:13,360 --> 02:00:14,360
He gives him a lot of credit.

2100
02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:15,360
True.

2101
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:19,600
I don't know if I can compare him to a Dragon Ball Z character.

2102
02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:20,600
Maybe Frieza.

2103
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:21,600
Actually that's probably better, yeah.

2104
02:00:21,600 --> 02:00:24,280
You keep killing him, but he doesn't go away.

2105
02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:26,280
He keeps betraying every time.

2106
02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:28,040
What did I expect?

2107
02:00:28,040 --> 02:00:29,520
Now he's gold.

2108
02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:30,520
Gold Frieza.

2109
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:31,880
Golden Horned Rat.

2110
02:00:31,880 --> 02:00:36,200
He slaps you with his fucking pimp.

2111
02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:37,200
Golden Rat.

2112
02:00:37,200 --> 02:00:40,120
Pimp Golden Horned Rat.

2113
02:00:40,120 --> 02:00:47,840
But that rambling, disconnected explanation was Age of Sigmar.

2114
02:00:47,840 --> 02:00:52,360
This is, as you might have noticed, didn't cover everything because this is an entire

2115
02:00:52,360 --> 02:00:53,440
war game setting.

2116
02:00:53,440 --> 02:00:56,640
I tried to sum up, there's a lot.

2117
02:00:56,640 --> 02:00:58,120
There's a lot.

2118
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:00,240
Yeah, we did a lot.

2119
02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:04,900
That was, I mean, I kind of have a much better understanding of it.

2120
02:01:04,900 --> 02:01:07,460
Was there also one more realm than metal?

2121
02:01:07,460 --> 02:01:08,960
Was there a metal realm too?

2122
02:01:08,960 --> 02:01:10,960
Yeah, that was the Shamone.

2123
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:11,960
Shamone.

2124
02:01:11,960 --> 02:01:15,520
Is that one quite, is that one mysterious?

2125
02:01:15,520 --> 02:01:18,160
And I take it it's just quite, it's just metal.

2126
02:01:18,160 --> 02:01:22,000
It's not as explored, although it's a lot of metal.

2127
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:24,280
It's same as the other realms, closer to the middle.

2128
02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:29,600
It's like you'll find a lot of ore deposits and whatnot, but it's livable.

2129
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:33,540
Towards the edge, you'll find everything's made of some pure metal or other rare gems

2130
02:01:33,540 --> 02:01:35,040
are all over the place.

2131
02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:36,040
A metal magic.

2132
02:01:36,040 --> 02:01:41,280
That's probably, that's like in my head, I'm imagining a literal mountain of gold.

2133
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:43,120
Like an actual mountain.

2134
02:01:43,120 --> 02:01:44,120
That's cool.

2135
02:01:44,120 --> 02:01:46,760
The Emperor would be very happy with the realm of Shamone.

2136
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:50,560
That's the head of a sentence.

2137
02:01:50,560 --> 02:01:54,480
Unfortunately he's not coming to the mortal realms anytime soon.

2138
02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:55,480
I can't imagine.

2139
02:01:55,480 --> 02:01:58,720
That'll be a plot twist.

2140
02:01:58,720 --> 02:02:02,660
Aside from that, only one last thing to mention.

2141
02:02:02,660 --> 02:02:08,640
When Galamaraz was reclaimed by the Stormcast Eternals, it was given to the Celestin Prime,

2142
02:02:08,640 --> 02:02:14,320
the first ever Stormcast Eternal Sigmar created, who simply needed one last thing to finish

2143
02:02:14,320 --> 02:02:15,800
him off.

2144
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:21,240
And when Galamaraz was reclaimed, he gave it to the Celestin Prime, who was forged from

2145
02:02:21,240 --> 02:02:26,320
a king of an old kingdom in the old world that Sigmar once ruled.

2146
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:27,760
I think you know where I'm going with this.

2147
02:02:27,760 --> 02:02:30,440
The Celestin Prime is fucking Karl France.

2148
02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:33,200
It's never been confirmed.

2149
02:02:33,200 --> 02:02:36,280
They just say he's an old king from the old world.

2150
02:02:36,280 --> 02:02:37,280
Don't care.

2151
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:38,520
It's Karl France.

2152
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:41,480
No one else is badass enough to be the Celestin Prime.

2153
02:02:41,480 --> 02:02:47,720
Emperor, a letter count of Reikland, son, sorry, prince.

2154
02:02:47,720 --> 02:02:50,120
Prince, prince and elector of Reikland.

2155
02:02:50,120 --> 02:02:51,920
Excuse me, my heresy.

2156
02:02:51,920 --> 02:02:55,080
He's prince and emperor.

2157
02:02:55,080 --> 02:03:00,120
That's a privileged bastard.

2158
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:03,040
And yeah, that is Age of Sigmar.

2159
02:03:03,040 --> 02:03:05,520
So just scratch the surface.

2160
02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:06,640
I loved it.

2161
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:08,640
That was a lot.

2162
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:13,880
I think I have a good image in my head of kind of what's going on.

2163
02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:19,600
I definitely think, obviously it's an overview, but like, I've always struggled with what

2164
02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:25,720
is like, I guess the ground level experience of that universe, because it's again, it's

2165
02:03:25,720 --> 02:03:31,120
just so big, even in terms of scale and like, obviously it's high fantasy now.

2166
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:32,120
So it's a bit different.

2167
02:03:32,120 --> 02:03:38,880
But I feel like I've got a good, like if I was to make a story or like in my head, I

2168
02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:43,600
think I know I could place it appropriately in there and it would actually make sense

2169
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:46,480
in the universe.

2170
02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:49,600
There are a few named cities that show up different.

2171
02:03:49,600 --> 02:03:54,740
Like there's Hammerhall, which is one of the biggest cities formed in the mortal realms

2172
02:03:54,740 --> 02:03:57,880
after Sigmar sent out the Stormcast.

2173
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:03,200
There's Anvil Guard, which is what the place, the city that Marathi took from Sigmar.

2174
02:04:03,200 --> 02:04:07,280
The El Points, which is currently under control of Archaon, but everyone keeps fighting over

2175
02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:08,840
it.

2176
02:04:08,840 --> 02:04:13,040
There's a couple different places you can kind of ground yourself in, but part of the

2177
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:19,320
appeal I find is just losing yourself in it and just approaching it not as a solid story,

2178
02:04:19,320 --> 02:04:23,920
but as this mythic tale of massive fighting armies and whatnot.

2179
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:29,480
As we'll end it, I think, well, hopefully we might do another in the future.

2180
02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:37,760
We may possibly explore in more detail some of the factions within the Alliance orders

2181
02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:38,760
themselves.

2182
02:04:38,760 --> 02:04:44,520
I think so you may go a bit, sorry, may go into more detail and or you may possibly talk

2183
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:48,480
about some dwarves, chaos dwarves stuff.

2184
02:04:48,480 --> 02:04:50,240
Cause you know, love it.

2185
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:55,760
I think I'm very curious about Hashut, but I will end on, I'll ask you a question, which

2186
02:04:55,760 --> 02:04:59,400
is who was your favorite faction in AOS?

2187
02:04:59,400 --> 02:05:05,080
Like who, you know, who you collecting and why they your favorite?

2188
02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:09,520
At the moment, probably the Lumineth because I love my elves.

2189
02:05:09,520 --> 02:05:11,240
They're quite, you know, they're high elves.

2190
02:05:11,240 --> 02:05:12,240
I love them.

2191
02:05:12,240 --> 02:05:14,720
Teclis is a model.

2192
02:05:14,720 --> 02:05:16,240
That's something very nice about AOS.

2193
02:05:16,240 --> 02:05:19,740
The gods in the setting, play them on tabletop.

2194
02:05:19,740 --> 02:05:20,740
They're very powerful.

2195
02:05:20,740 --> 02:05:21,740
Is he T-posing?

2196
02:05:21,740 --> 02:05:22,740
Is he?

2197
02:05:22,740 --> 02:05:23,740
He is T-posing.

2198
02:05:23,740 --> 02:05:27,120
He's flying in T-posing on lesser beings before him.

2199
02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:28,120
Nothing wrong with that.

2200
02:05:28,120 --> 02:05:29,440
It makes it even better.

2201
02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:36,280
Although of course that being said, the Skaven probably still my favorite overall in Warhammer

2202
02:05:36,280 --> 02:05:38,600
because I love my bad rats.

2203
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:40,380
Vanquoil is still kicking.

2204
02:05:40,380 --> 02:05:44,240
Why are they your, we'll just finish on why they're your favorite specifically.

2205
02:05:44,240 --> 02:05:47,200
Like what makes him so good?

2206
02:05:47,200 --> 02:05:51,520
Because I just love how they're the worst.

2207
02:05:51,520 --> 02:05:56,400
Like even, you know, even like, you know, like the word bearers, they're all awful,

2208
02:05:56,400 --> 02:06:00,920
but every now and then you'll get a character like, you know, Argel, Argel, Argel tall.

2209
02:06:00,920 --> 02:06:01,920
Argel tall.

2210
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:02,920
Thank you.

2211
02:06:02,920 --> 02:06:04,380
Every time I say his name, it's like gargling dice.

2212
02:06:04,380 --> 02:06:09,920
If you hit this to major kill too much, you have to, you'll start to, I think he's pronounced

2213
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:11,280
it multiple different times.

2214
02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:13,200
And so I'm like, I'm like, which one is it, bro?

2215
02:06:13,200 --> 02:06:14,200
I'm struggling.

2216
02:06:14,200 --> 02:06:15,200
Yeah.

2217
02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:16,760
Argel tall will go with like, you'll get a character like him.

2218
02:06:16,760 --> 02:06:17,760
He was like, you know what?

2219
02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:22,600
He's almost a redeemable character, almost not a piece of shit with the Skaven.

2220
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:23,640
You don't get that.

2221
02:06:23,640 --> 02:06:24,640
They're just the worst.

2222
02:06:24,640 --> 02:06:26,560
And it's so fun.

2223
02:06:26,560 --> 02:06:31,560
Like you're playing mad scientist, evil rats with machine guns made out of lightning in

2224
02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:32,920
a fantasy setting.

2225
02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:35,320
The voices are so funny too.

2226
02:06:35,320 --> 02:06:36,760
They're amazing.

2227
02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:42,840
Like the Skaven there, when you want to be an irredeemable asshole, not even just a monster.

2228
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:43,840
Yes.

2229
02:06:43,840 --> 02:06:45,380
But more than that, just a prick.

2230
02:06:45,380 --> 02:06:47,560
You go to the Skaven and I think that's very fun.

2231
02:06:47,560 --> 02:06:49,760
Cause I think it's just funny.

2232
02:06:49,760 --> 02:06:51,840
Thankful every day.

2233
02:06:51,840 --> 02:06:53,960
Thankful is a joy to read about.

2234
02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:55,520
We have to do a quiz on him.

2235
02:06:55,520 --> 02:06:58,040
We have to do something versus on that.

2236
02:06:58,040 --> 02:07:01,440
We have to do something with thankful cause it's just, there's no way we can't spread

2237
02:07:01,440 --> 02:07:05,680
the love of this absolute failure.

2238
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:11,440
I haven't gotten to it yet, but he and Gottrick evidently have a dual in age of Sigmar.

2239
02:07:11,440 --> 02:07:13,520
Oh yes.

2240
02:07:13,520 --> 02:07:17,760
I'm very excited to get to that point of the audio book because oh boy, is it going to

2241
02:07:17,760 --> 02:07:20,080
be, is it going to be something?

2242
02:07:20,080 --> 02:07:26,720
I know thankful is quite unhappy when he finds out Gottrick survived as is got in reverse.

2243
02:07:26,720 --> 02:07:32,240
I still remember that part in one of the got trick books where he's like, you, you know,

2244
02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:33,560
you've been sabotaging me forever.

2245
02:07:33,560 --> 02:07:35,160
And they're like, who are you?

2246
02:07:35,160 --> 02:07:39,360
And he's like, Oh my, he almost like faints cause he's cause they don't, he thinks they've

2247
02:07:39,360 --> 02:07:40,360
been ego.

2248
02:07:40,360 --> 02:07:41,360
It's so bruised.

2249
02:07:41,360 --> 02:07:42,360
He almost passes out.

2250
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:45,960
He thinks they've been sabotaging him for 20 years and they have no idea.

2251
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:48,960
He was the same rat at the entire time.

2252
02:07:48,960 --> 02:07:54,000
If nothing else, if nothing else will bring you to that, thankful is still at age of Sigmar

2253
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:55,960
up to his old BS.

2254
02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:57,320
So you know what?

2255
02:07:57,320 --> 02:08:01,160
If nothing else will bring you to the setting, let thankful do it.

2256
02:08:01,160 --> 02:08:04,600
He is the epitome of you failed successfully.

2257
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:09,680
He is still the horned rats, silliest clown fighting his funniest battles.

2258
02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:14,280
And we are your silliest clowns presenting this video.

2259
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:18,160

2263

Fantasy fireside.

2264
02:08:26,580 --> 02:08:33,320
I was kind of a more of a relaxed, just this talk about fantasy lore and whatnot.

2265
02:08:33,320 --> 02:08:39,440
So if you'd like to see some AOS stuff, let us know if you'd like to return to fantasy.

2266
02:08:39,440 --> 02:08:43,640
So let us know that and we'll see what's going on next time.

2267
02:08:43,640 --> 02:08:44,640
Thank you all.

2268
02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:46,600
Also, thank you all so much for listening, though.

2269
02:08:46,600 --> 02:08:50,080
We really appreciate it and very much.

2270
02:08:50,080 --> 02:08:51,720
We'll see you all next time.

2271
02:08:51,720 --> 02:08:52,720
Have a good day.

2272
02:08:52,720 --> 02:09:14,480
Take care, everyone.
