Scourge of Fate is a great book about a Chaos Lord doing his last trial to become a Varanguard, gives you great insight about how Varanguard society works and give you a detailed account of how Slaves to Darkness warbands live in the Eightpoints and at the Varanspire. Among other things, Varanguard see themselves as “paladins”, losing sense of personal gain and status, seeing service to Archaon as the greatest glory there is. They also see Archaon not only as their leader but as a philosopher-king, and there’s tidbits about how they make it a point to never give oneself fully to one True God :) Highly recommend it.

Just made a connection in my head. Varangian Guard (Byzantine emperor personal guard) - Varanguard... My history teachers will be quite disappointed of me, it took me years to get to this.

The way you describe them puts me in mind of the Nazgùl in Lord of the Rings. Like how the Witch King is such a more interesting character with his backstory in the appendices. Also how they're both tier 1 generals / heroes the equivalent of any Good hero but also subjects that can be sent on a fetch quest if its crucial enough.

I wish they'd release a second set of 3 for some more variation and focus, I can't help but think they treated the most epic of bodyguards as an after thought. Thanks for giving them some flavor Doug!

If you're taking requests, I've been wondering about the Eidolons of Mathalan myself. How are they created? What's the relationship between the Idoneth and a god of the old world? Anyways, love your videos. Your enthusiasm for the lore really comes through in them, makes it infectious.

In case you didn’t know. The swords of chaos are in total war warhammer. And they literally have a mechanic with Archon called Gaurdion which gives him phisical residence

NOW there is something higher :D new lore has dropped. one Varanguard had beat up all the others and Archeon feared she would kill most other varanguard to show her devotion that he made her his second in command.

So, 1 in 1.000 champions may perhaps take the trials. Of those, 1 in 10.000 may perhaps be worthy of joining archaon's elite. That means that, out of ten million champions, one joins the Varanguard? Does that make sense, given the massive scale of the Nine Realms?

Well, each realm is many times bigger than surface of our planet. And there are 7 of them with chaos warriors, and unknown amount of smaller pocket worlds. So this is not so absurd to me (well, this is aos, you MUST set your absurd standarts lower)

Not the way I remember it Let's rewind and see how it really went. Grimgor gives one *helluva epic headbutt* Archaon's head. Archaon is falling to his back... *but* makes ground shaking backstep and raise his upper body. Archaon: Don't f*ck with me! I have the Power of Gods and Anime on my side! Grimgor: Da fu iz Anim... Grimgor gets his head decapitated. Archaon: You shouldn't have gone for the head.
