ARIEL & ORION - The Winter of WOE - History of the OLD WORLD (7) - Warhammer Fantasy Lore

[@onlywar]

Had to nurse my voice through this one a bit but I didn't want you guys waiting any longer. First bit ties up the loose ends of Nagash before we get to the Wood Elf origins part.

This entire history of the old world series you've done deserves far more love than it has received. The best Warhammer Fantasy lore on KZbin. Bravo 👏

[@InquisitorXarius]

Also just want to say I love how you covered the full history of Nehekhara and the War of the Beards. No one else has done either besides you and for that I am grateful. I mean the fate of Nehekhara did genuinely elicit a tear from my eyes especially hearing how Alkadizar lost everything because he refused to go out and sacrifice his life to slay Nagash.

[@onlywar]

One mistake. One moment of selfishness after all he'd been through. It was heartbreaking.

[@spiritofthegorg6950]

Same - you are great only war

[@JonathanWestwood]

"Developing Anakin levels of distaste for sand" Was not expecting that and it made my night. Thank you

[@onlywar]

You are always too kind and generous brother. It's nice to not be in "serious" narrator mode all the time. There's couple of sneaky movie lines in there too.

[@CalebAlucardtheHagan]

So very glad to see this series reemerge. Thank you for all your hard work bringing this epic world to life!

[@onlywar]

Thank you my friend. The support you guys give every video to try to boost them in the algorithm is amazing.

[@FiddleWiddle]

Your videos are a blessing. I love them dearly and i hope you never stop

[@st0n3bridg]

I was really excited about this one. Wood elf is my favourite WH fantasy faction. As always. Just a great job telling this story. Thank you for your work 🎉😊

[@KaiHellSky]

Just found the series. Love this. Currently playing the Enemy Within, just finishing up Death on the Reik. Love the lore. Thank you for the content!

[@Dakooties]

Bet, I've been waiting for this. I meant to watch and comment earlier but I quit smoking so my head is everywhere. Thanks brother, I'm stupid excited.

[@onlywar]

Good luck brother. Don't give up giving up. Took me a few goes.

[@amampathak]

Thank you for continuing this wonderful series, I've been waiting for this one!!

[@onlywar]

You’re welcome my friend. It’s comments like yours that stop me replacing myself with AI Morgan Freeman for the rest of the series.

[@JD-bk4zi]

Please don't, your voice is awesome

[@onlywar]

@@JD-bk4zi I just need a few thousand people who feel the same mate. Reckon “Morgan reads the warhammer wiki” gets me to 40K subs miles quicker than my own talents ever could 😆

[@Cr4t3rus]

Thank you for continuing this fantastic series! Look forward to many more chapters as I really enjoy listening to your narration - you are great!! Greetings from Sweden

[@Nihility15]

How tf do you only have 3k views on this masterpiece?? Thank you so much man

[@DisasterP1an]

Please keep this series going. I can’t wait for the next one.

[@onlywar]

I’ll definitely keep going my friend. I know there’s an audience for warhammer fantasy lore & not many channels that do it when 40K dominates the views. I just need to work out how to reach it.

[@eagleofceaser6140]

Amazing work, I look forward to your next Old World Video.

[@ravenskaven123]

Worth the wait buddy your the man and your videos are absolutely fantastic thank you for all your hard work

[@onlywar]

Thank you. You won't be waiting as long for the next one. Life's thrown a bit our way lately but back on track now.

[@alfredaflatooni]

Great work, love the artwork used in the video.

[@jackrogers5712]

Hey, saw that you're having trouble getting people to see this video. Leaving a comment to help. Already liked when the video released. Thank you for the long form content, please keep it up!

[@onlywar]

Thanks my friend. The regulars like you are certainly doing your bit to help. Likes & comments are really high compared to views but it’s still only reaching a small part of the warhammer fan base even for fantasy.

[@darionietlispach2470]

damn i have your channel notifications on but this one went under my radar. glad i came to check^^ the lore combined with the awesome music and your skill is just amazing =D

[@onlywar]

Glad you checked brother. Having notifications on already is best with my slightly random schedule & topic choice so not much else you can do…

[@darionietlispach2470]

@@onlywar i regularly come to listen to your videos again, they never get old =D

[@johnbush77]

Another great video. Can’t wait for the next episode.

[@moradfarhadpour5277]

Good to hear your voice again as the tale goes forever on.

[@onlywar]

Still got nearly 1000 years to cover before we get to Sigmar…

[@benjitheband5661]

Waiting for a new video from you. This series is fantastic

[@onlywar]

I'm back at it now my friend. Life has been...tricky and I've had to focus on other things.

[@HeshMan96]

Hell yes I love this series

[@onlywar]

Thank you! It's evolving as we go with some in depth episodes needed to set up the major factions for later events and then some will just move pieces around the board a bit. The fantasy peeps seem to get what I'm trying to do and enjoy the series and that's what matters.

[@shadow_ninja9149]

Man been waiting for this

[@onlywar]

Hope you enjoy it.

[@shadow_ninja9149]

@@onlywar thx you your one of the best loremaster for both fantasy and 40k

[@onlywar]

Thanks my friend. I appreciate you.

[@maxpower4436]

I enjoy your work a lot tnx

[@onlywar]

Glad to hear that my friend.

[@NisGaarde]

So good! Keep it up!

[@onlywar]

Thank you! Will do!

[@NisGaarde]

@@onlywarYou are to Fantasy what Luetin09 is to 40K. I hope you continue doing Old World lore vids even after this history series in concluded. Deepdives on specific organizations, cults, phenomena, weapons, locations, provinces, characters, etc. I think The Old World is about to really come back in style.

[@onlywar]

@@NisGaarde Huge compliment my friend. That is the plan. New “current” lore to discuss once the Old World comes out too. Hopefully more members of the Fantasy community find the channel. I don’t self promote myself on reddit & other places for fantasy but I know you guys share my stuff sometimes & I appreciate it.

[@pandemic_diesel]

thank youuuu

[@The_belligerant_servo_skull]

Hey man, hope youre doing okay. You're my favourite lore tuber and it's sad you havent uploaded in 7 months. I know life gets in the way, I hope you and yours are all okay.

[@onlywar]

The next episode is recorded & at the editing stage but I’ve had to focus on uni deadlines to his week. Hopefully not too long until it’s out.

[@TheKagar]

Thank you for Upload :)

[@onlywar]

You're welcome my friend. Thanks for supporting me.

[@fifastar92]

Cant wait for next episode 😢😢

[@onlywar]

I will be back soon brother.

[@InquisitorXarius]

About bloody time we got to the only “good” Eldar in Warhammer Fantasy. I say “good” when you compare the Asrai to their Arrogant and Petty Asur and Sadistic and Twisted Druchii cousins.

[@onlywar]

I have a soft spot for the High Elves too. Let's just not talk about the End times though.

[@InquisitorXarius]

@@onlywarUnderstandable. But as in 40k I have no love, only hatred for the Asuryani and Drukhari and neutrality towards the Exodites.

[@onlywar]

@@InquisitorXarius hoping GW does something proper with the exodites one day after they cancelled the Ynnari series. The models they could have would be amazing.

[@InquisitorXarius]

@@onlywarAgreed I do so hope they do not abandon such potential forever. One must hope they will in time listen to us their fan base and restore what was, what is, and what must be.

[@stephencowie696]

hard to call them good either... the wild hunt is a unpredictable thing and has massacred many innocent villages/cities... what makes the old world interesting is that it needs to at some point reflect any and all factions fighting each other at some point for the tabletop. This means they had to devise bad rulers and petty wars that lend itself to good histories

[@soulsmoke01]

@onlywar yo, I have a few questions for you. And, this is awesome work my guy!

[@onlywar]

Happy to try answer quick questions here or if bigger questions on my discord (patreon perk, sign up for a single month & get permanent access) or drop me an email.

[@Ricky_Nixon]

Diggin the 30 minute vid my man. For the emp….I mean algorithm

[@onlywar]

Thanks as always my friend. I think I’ve got to do a few shorter ones mixed in just to keep content hungry algo from burying them. Got to change something as this one has 100% likes, high % of likes & comments compared to views & good retention & still it’s only really getting out to the regulars. Hope you’re doing well my brother.

[@Ricky_Nixon]

Doing great man. Hope you’re having a relaxing summer. As much as I love the long form stuff, I love seeing your new vids in the feed more. So if that means 30 mins I say go for it. You deserve some type of algorithm love, the time will come.

[@onlywar]

@@Ricky_Nixon it’s winter for me but then it’s the sub tropics so doesn’t really make a difference. Slightly less insect noise to try to edit out I suppose.

[@Cr4t3rus]

@onlywar please tell me you are working on a new video that will be released soon?

[@onlywar]

I'm back now. Channel update coming soon.

[@lordlobezz1769]

Will we get episode 8 ?

[@onlywar]

Yep my friend. Had to take a break but I’m working on the next one in the series now.

[@The-Real-JD]

Let's goooooooo

[@danielrashkov4344]

There are too many knife ears in the old world. Can't we do just a little bit of exterminatus?

[@onlywar]

Give them some credit. All the elf on elf violence has helped thin the numbers.

[@peo733]

Is it true that wood elves lure humans into Athel Loren only to murder them just for their own twisted amusement?

[@onlywar]

They can get a bit carried away when it’s Wild Hunt time but killing peasants solely for shits & giggles? Not that I’m aware of.

[@jackstrayfeald1007]

I have heard it said that during their wild hunts, the wood Elves do randomly attack Bretonian farms, villages, and towns sometimes or no particular reason, of course. The Bretonian city of Parravon has been levelled to the ground a few times as well.

[@onlywar]

@@jackstrayfeald1007 Absolutely correct. It was the luring into the forest part I wasn’t sure about.

[@Cezili]

A great lore video, just if not for the edgy growling for narration. But jokes like the Anakin sand joke at the beginning were nice.

[@onlywar]

I do have a bit of growl naturally but I've gone softer on the latest video for the sleepers out there.

[@jymjym7995]

so that's the origins story of the racist tree people

[@onlywar]

Are they any more racist than every other race in the Old World? Honestly asking. There are a couple of wood elf books I haven’t read yet.

[@jymjym7995]

@@onlywar no i don't think so. i said it because it sounded funny. they're about as racist as the short racist people, the dead racist people, donut island racists, the lizard racists but probably not as much as the dark elves are
