    38: ”Beer Spear” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf Heroes - Eltharion, Tyrion & Teclis

    38: ”Beer Spear” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf Heroes - Eltharion, Tyrion & Teclis

    In this episode we look at three of the greatest of Ulthuan’s heroes. We start with Eltharion the Grim, Prince of Yvresse, he who finally brought about the defeat of Waaagh! Grom and who holds two destinies and two miniatures. We then turn to the twin princes Teclis, High Loremaster of Hoeth and Warden of the White Tower, and Tyrion, Defender of Ulthuan, the greatest living High Elven warrior of this age, perhaps even Aenarion reborn.

    36: ”Tor Nakatomi” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt4 - Morvael, Bel-Hathor & Finubar

    36: ”Tor Nakatomi” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt4 - Morvael, Bel-Hathor & Finubar

    In this episode we look at the three most recent Phoenix Kings; Morvael the Impetuous, Bel-Hathor the Sage and Finubar the Seafarer. We explore the implications of Ulthuan looking outward once more and the drastic increase in trade and exploration with the opening of Lothern to humanity under Bel-Hathor. We follow Finubar as he travels the world making alliances with those he sees and beneficial to Ulthuan and whatever future it can now forge for itself. We compare Finubar with Malekith and that dark soul’s own period of exploration at the dawn of Ulthuan. We close out the episode with a  look at the current state of the High Elves and their place in the world.

    35: ”Freddosode” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt3 - Faded Glory, Scouring & Winds of Magic

    35: ”Freddosode” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt3 - Faded Glory, Scouring & Winds of Magic

    In this episode we start with the great Scouring of the Dark Elves by the Phoenix King Tethlis and his descent into bloodlust and scorched earth tactics. This is followed by a dissection of the reign of Bel-Korhadris who with the creation of both the White Tower and the Great Hunt shaped the culture and society of Ulthuan, perhaps more than any other king, into what it is today. We define their relationship to the winds of magic and what makes their mages so powerful. We look at the reign of the artist king Aethis who beautified Ulthuan to an extreme degree and neglected all else allowing the Cults of excess to resurge.

    34: ”Sundered Mug” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt2 - Sundering, Beards and Exodus

    34: ”Sundered Mug” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt2 - Sundering, Beards and Exodus

    CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO OUR OLD WORLD LORE CRASH COURSE NOW!
    In this episode we follow the deceitful plans of Malekith and this cadre of assassins as they attempt to seize power on Ulthuan. We see how they are opposed at every turn by the mighty phoenix king Caledor the First and ultimately the very mages who created the Great Vortex. The resulting sundering destroys 20% of Ulthuan and gives birth to the Dark Elves. Malekith’s evil machinations continue with the instigation of the War of the Beard resulting in both the death of Caledor the Second but also the loss of the Phoenix crown. Finally we look at the Exodus, the great migration of most elves back the safety and protection of Ulthuan, that tangentially gave birth to the wood Elves of Athel Loren.

    33: ”Albumen” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt1 - Aenarion & Malekith

    33: ”Albumen” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt1 - Aenarion & Malekith

    In this episode we start with the collapse of the polar gates that sent the world into turmoil! We examine its impact, especially on the Elves of Ulthuan (it’s their episode after all) and their reaction to it. We see the rise of Aenarion and rule as the first Phoenix king and his war to save the world resulting in his BFF Caledor creating the Great Vortex. We then turn our gaze to the rule of his successor the great coloniser Bel-Shanaar. We then dissect the travels, alliances, and discoveries of Malekith. Ulthuan’s greatest adventurer. We close out with the fall of Ulthuan and the rise of the Cults of Excess.

Never get to talk about or hear about Warhammer Fantasy so this pod is absolutely perfect for getting to learn more and being hilarious at the same time

I knew nothing about this lore before listening but now I love it so much. The dynamic between the 3 hosts is hysterical. Definitely going to start my own book of grudges asap.
