Welcome back to Lorebeards, where Andy Law & Loremaster of Sotek journey throughout the Warhammer world to educate the masses on all the wonderful and horrible things that can be discovered! Today we'll be venturing into the Eastern Steppes, north of Grand Cathay's Great Bastion. A wild windswept plain of incredible size known for being the last uncorrupted land before one reaches the Chaos Wastes. Among the tall grasses and cracked dry patches lies an entire nation of incredible size, despite having no cities or stone foundations. Instead it is an colossal tide of Giant Wolves and Hobhounds pulling settlements built upon wheeled platforms that roams around to stay ahead of Chaos hordes and strike at vulnerable targets to loot and plunder. This is the Hobgoblin Khanate, made up by the titular Hobgoblins. A strange sub-species of the Greenskins race that are infamous for their backstabbing nature and nomadic lifestyle. Without further ado let's get into it!
Join Sotek & Andy Law as they finish off the birthday/anniversary episodes of Lorebeards with the grand finale of Sigmar Heldenhammer! The legendary founder of the Empire and totally not a war criminal, Sigmar is one of the most important figures in all of Warhammer Fantasy. After all, he does wield THE Warhammer. In any event, Sigmar has a GREAT many stories about his life that we'll be exploring today. As there is so much to cover, today we'll be focusing far more on the mortal life of Sigmar and see how far we get!
After FAR too long of a hiatus due to the ravages of Grandfather Nurgle and Clan Pestilens, the Lorebeards have finally returned! For this stream we resume where we left off with the Anniversary Special, turning our attention fully on the bizarre multiversal sandbox that is the Total War Warhammer universe! There's been tons of patches, DLCs, and FLCs added to this game over the last near-decade, but if executive power were given to Andy & Sotek, what insanity might they unleash to try and craft the perfect game? Well grab your drink of choice and settle in to find out!
The time has come for Loremaster of Sotek & Andy Law to continue their celebration of a year's worth of Lorebeards after Grandfather Nurgle wreaked a bit of havoc on the schedule. After several visits to the Temples of Shallya, Andy is well enough once more to carry on the fight against the greatest foe of any Warhammer fan...the End Times! While the Lorebeards have faced off against this calamity before, this time they'll be focusing on several specific aspects rather than just the overall events. So prepare to see some angry nerds rant and rave against Lileath and the dying of the light!
LOREBEARDS IS OFFICIALLY (A little over) ONE YEAR OLD! Andy & Sotek are delighted to celebrate a full cycle around the sun of delving into Warhammer Fantasy lore. It has been an unparalleled pleasure to engage in weekly discussions about our favorite setting with you all whether it be about the myriad races and characters found across the width of the world. To celebrate this occasion, the Lorebeards have decided to dedicate an entire month of goodies for everyone to enjoy! The first part of this 4-part series shall be to....ASK US ANYTHING! A unique stream in which we'll be doing our damnedest to answer as many questions as possible in the time allotted!
At the absolute beginning of all things, they came on Silvered Ships from beyond the stars. The Old Ones, ancient cosmic beings, are the true architects of the Warhammer World. Seeing some grand purpose in this speck of dirt floating among the infinite expanse of space, these alien sorcerer-scientists began their mysterious work. From moving the planet closer to the sun, to elevating many of the races that would come to dominate the world, to crafting the immense gateways hanging in space above the world that would one day lead to Catastrophe. Join Andy & Sotek as they attempt to decipher the bizarre mixture of truth and myth surrounding the enigmatic Old Ones and their Great Plan.
For millennia, the mountain realms of the Dwarfs have been pulled slowly but surely into decline. Their once impregnable holds within the Worlds Edge Mountains were cracked open one after the other during that terrible time known as the Age of Woe. Among the mighty karaks that fell, few were felt as keenly as that of Karak Drazh. Join Andy & Sotek as they delve into the the history of the hold that came to be known as Black Crag and how it devolved into the greatest Orc Fortress in the world. From its initial claiming by the Greenskin scourge to the modern age under the iron fist of Gorfang Rotgut, this tour through the depths will be one to remember!
At the top of the world lies the hellish lands known as the Chaos Wastes, where countless warbands dedicated to the Dark Gods roam the earth to seek glory in the name of their patrons. Of these, none are more terrible than the Tormentors. A hideous legion of Slaanesh worshipping monstrosities led by the mutated majesty that is Dechala, the Denied One! Just where does this serpentine monstrosity come from? What is her story and how did she become one of the mightiest champions to serve the Dark Prince? Join Andy & Sotek as they wind back the clock to the bygone era known as the Cataclysm, to explore a tragedy unlike any other upon the isle of Ulthuan. A story of trauma, desire, and an insatiable hunger for power!
The End Times have come, the legions of Chaos are spilling out across the world to drown all in a tide of horror and magic! Or...is this actually the beginning? Hunker down with Andy & Sotek as they guide you through the nightmarish tale that is the Cataclysm, that epic conflict which ushered in the true start of the Warhammer Fantasy world as we know it! Prepare for a tale of the ultimate struggle as Gods, Heroes, and Ancient Empires strive to weather the first great Storm of Magic known simply as...the Cataclysm!
A month of effort culminates in the grand finale of the Tamurkhan's Brothers series! After delving through the imagination of Sotek, Andy, & Chat the time has finally come to try and tie everything together into a coherent storyline. This episode uniquely featured Loremaster of Sotek dusting off his ancient Powerpoint skills to make a presentation which collated all of the information from the prior streams together to help paint the overall picture. Enjoy the end of this epic experiment with the Lorebeards!
It's another one of dem dang tierlists! This time the Grand Provinces of the Empire will be stepping up to the plate to be evaluate and judged by the all-knowing Lorebeards! How will your favorite Province of Sigmar's nation stack up when put under examination? Will the live audience vote them up to glorious S tier? Or down into the fiery depths of D! Be sure to listen in and find out!
A new BONUS set of episodes has arrived for the Lorebeards podcast! As you've worked your way through this series, you may have enjoyed the delightful episode focusing on Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord that Andy Law & Sotek did some time ago. One thing that came up during that stream was the fact that Tamurkhan was simply one of 4 Brothers dedicated to each of the Dark Gods, that being Nurgle in his case. There was supposed to be 3 other brothers featuring epic adventures to follow them each as they all seek out the Throne of Chaos! So please enjoy as Sotek & Andy change gears from the idea of simply teaching the lore....to instead using their immense combined knowledge to create some! This episode is the third of this storyline and features the Tzeentch Brother.

Yar har har and a chest of Lizard trinkets! Of all the shorelines to be found in the Warhammer world there are none more dangerous and cursed than the Eastern shore of Lustria known to the wider world as the Vampire Coast. Founded long ago by the Arch-Grand Commodore, the Emperor of Lustria, the Pirate King of the Vampire Coast known as Luthor Harkon. Just how did this eccentric Lord of Undeath come to reside in Lustria and what is the legacy of this horrific realm? Join Andy & Sotek as they sail brazenly into the haunted mists.
Among the constant backstabbery and scheming found among the Skaven, there is in fact another far more sinister force lurking just beyond the veil. Within the Realm of Ruin, the domain of the Great Horned Rat itself, there are titanic monsters of nightmarish power known simply as Verminlords. These Daemons are the mightiest servants of the Skaven's foul God, always watching the Mortal Realms and attempting to twist the endless plots in their favor. Join Andy & Sotek as they investigate the nature of these twisted abominations and what their existence means for the Under-Empire and beyond.
In the southeast of Bretonnia, nestled between the Grey Mountains & the Vaults there lies an immense forest the likes of which is found no where else in the world. Athel Loren, the first great wood in the world blessed by the seemingly-divine gifts of the Old Ones. A magical realm full of fey spirits, Elven Demi-Gods, horrific monstrosities and far more. The paths here are strange and ignore the laws of space and time, but just what is the history and nature of this place? Join Andy & Sotek as they cautiously wander into the depths of Athel Loren.
The Realm of Chaos yawns open, not to spill out corruption and nightmares as it often does, but instead to welcome all who dare upon the road to the Brass Citadel. Khorne's mighty fortress that stands at the absolute center of his realm, where the God himself is said to reside according to various myths & legends. From the hell-forges manned by Daemon-smiths to the impossible mountain of skulls upon which stands the throne of a God, there is much to explore within the Blood God's domain. Join Sotek & Andy as they prepare their offerings of Skulls for the Skull Throne!
Another special BONUS episode has arrived for Lorebeards! This time Andy & Sotek do something COMPLETELY different as they call upon the sacred and somewhat unhinged art of Tier List Rankings! For this first ever Tier List, the Loremasters educate the community on the various Phoenix Kings that have ruled over Ulthuan since the first to the very last. A rather humorous episode with considerable amounts of lore on the High Elves in particular.
Draw your daggers and prepare to offer bloody offerings up to Kaela Mensha Khaine, the Bloody Handed God of War and Murder! One of the most powerful Gods worshipped by the Elves, there are many dark secrets to be uncovered surrounding the dread Lord of the infamous Widowmaker. Join Andy & Sotek as they plunge deep into the heart of these mysteries to unveil many truths about the Elven pantheon. We'll be discussing quite a bit on Khaine in regards to his history and nature, along with the various myths surrounding his impact upon the world. This includes topics such as the War in Heaven, the nature of the Elven Gods, how they're seen by other races, and the Cult surrounding this fell deity in its various aspects. Along with much more!
