I love the subtitles for goblins! Thank you, Chris, now my goblin nephew can enjoy the song with me!

[@BlackHermit]

Is this legit Goblonic though?

He is a member of Nekrogoblikon?

[@Zekromaster]

The detail of Ralathor disappearing after receiving the secret of the dwarven tunnels (which is now his to betray)

[@vinx.9099]

i've read that there was some loophole, something akin to "at no point in the future are you allowed to tell anyone of this" so he instead travelled back to tell something in the past.

[@WillcraftAnimations]

It's about time we got some positive goblin representation in Gloryhammer. The frequent goblin slander was getting pretty problematic, and it's made it difficult to get my goblin friends into the band. They should like this one though, especially with the thoughtful translation. I hope it's indicative of a new, more inclusive direction for the band.

[@EzraeL91]

Goblin's lives matter!

[@fallenknight3016]

glares with goblin slayer glowing eye

[@juke9674]

I actually felt very well represented by the evil goblin king and his star-empire!

[@SilverScribe85]

Aren't goblins almost always evil, though?

[@ThePoint.]

I'm gonna be honest, I did Not expect to See you Here lol

[@wah8765]

Love the detail of Ralathor going through a portal back in time! Really cool to see the artist doing some lore adaptions!

[@Wanderingsage7]

Back in time, different dimension... Either or really. I kinda love that the only three things we know for sure about Ralathor in four volumes is he has a flying nuclear submarine he is captain of, wizard, and he seems to be the same iteration in all four volumes except 'maybe' this one. Basically he's powerful, though we don't know how much, he's old, and he has an aversion to taking on Zargothrax directly.

[@WeFightForKarl]

Why?

[@wilkins67890]

Ralathor is always the same person. There is only ever one of him unlike the others where there are several incarnations.@@Wanderingsage7

[@robertspeedwagon982]

​@@WeFightForKarlin the lore he gives the knowledge of the path back to another Angus in the past/another dimension

[@thasonsadventures8254]

I love the detail that Ralathor is missing after the fight because he went back through time.

[@Wanderingsage7]

Which he can just... Do apparently. ...are we sure he isn't an exiled Star Lord? (No. No we are not.)

[@Cavalorn12]

I wonder if his time travel will be the plot of the next album.

[@LuksA239]

​@@Cavalorn12His time travel was towards the end of the first Album, more exactly when he appears to reveal to Angus and Hoots the secret tunnels to the citadel of Zargothrax.

[@warriorsorb1111]

He probably knew what was to come and returned to his Prime timeline as he was no longer needed for this timeline. But that's just my wild guess.

[@milagrosgutierrezmartin9506]

I'm more concerned with Ser Proletius looking very warlocky for an epic paladin

[@riokollivier]

Is it just me or is the Sword Lord very honorable? He comes across as so every time I listen to this song.

[@Defectivania]

I got those vibes too, and the video seems to support that!

[@n3phelem549]

he is, indeed. The lost remains of an once honourable society. It seems to be all that is left, looks like to be an undead as well. It was so important, that his duties kept going in death.

[@THExRISER]

He didn't seem like a villain, he was just judging Angus as worthy.

[@theironpill9296]

Of course.... He is the Sword Lord, after all, can't be an easy position to reach, in Goblin society.

[@danjoredd]

I like to think that the goblins used to be honorable long ago but fell into a dishonorable society, and the sword lord is the last of that ancient society that still held value.

[@dadancinrat22]

Kinda makes me wonder if there was once some kind of race of honourable Goblin knights that followed the ancient code of Goblins mentioned in the song, and if so what could have happened to them and what lead to the goblin’s being like they are now?

[@KingCanuck2814]

Look up the Dhakaani Empire of the Eberron campaign setting!

[@Driziel]

worldbuilding in a comment section?! mh. Why not? 😀 judging by the "Toxic Laser Slime" invading the caverns, it could be possibile that the goblin tribes ("lost for centuries") somehow regretted to a mostly barbaric state (no sign of reconquering the city of Dundee above them), seeing the old traditions as a vestige of a past no more needed. Also; "The path can be revealead only if you take knowledge to the grave" could mean that the "Goblin Sword Lord" is title passed by defeated to defeater, thus reducing the number of available goblin knights around. In the video the Goblin does not appear malnourished nor undead at first glance, meaning he has food available. this implies still some form of society... or no need of sustenance at all. As the "Holy Hammer" strikes the Goblin with ease, it MIGHT be that the goblin is, in fact, an undead; a crime so terrible for an order that takes knowledge to the grave, that probably led to a revolt, and a collapse of the society. All that remains is a lone guardian, waiting for the sword to be reignited.

[@cooloriginaltwic]

Goblins are good, Gloryhammer lyrics are Dundonian imperialist propaganda.

[@KHTangent]

Apparently the line mentioned in this song was the entirety of the ancient code of goblins, according to a Reddit comment from Chris.

[@svensorensen7693]

I wonder if it has to do with how in the second album there was a dropped plotline where Angus was descended from goblins. Maybe the ancient goblins were very different and were corrupted by Evil?

[@omniviewer2115]

How could the goblin have possibly lost? Simple: impractical sword.

[@tonysimister4825]

Mighty goblin was mighty indeed! And not at all minuscule.

[@thegamerator10]

4:11 I love how you can see Ralathor stepping through a portal for him to betray the secret to Angus I on The Epic Rage of Furious Thunder.

[@nartuz5016]

I always imagined the Sword Lord as just a large fat goblin with a sword but this one looks sick as fuck

[@BrigetAstila]

I mean that's how he is in the booklet so

[@megalopath]

Okay, Ralathor, you wrote that down? Ralathor? Uh, Ralathor? Dangit, Ralathor! Okay, sword lord, can you tell me one more time?

[@WizardkingAlpha1]

Freakin Ralathor , jumping thru space time portals and shit

[@jonathansiegel435]

I totally missed that! I happened to catch your comment and I'm glad I did :)

[@jonathansmithwick5703]

What's he like, eh? Bless

[@SilverScribe85]

The imagery for this video makes me feel this band would make PERFECT background music for Spelljammer, considering the campaigns a combo of sci-fi AND fantasy

[@latindwarf8173]

4:12 Ralathor just sneaking out to another timeline

[@mikenorthrop5815]

Casually dipping out back to the first album

[@andrewvarney5687]

Dan's art for this video and all the Album covers proves his talent is "worthy indeed" of Gloryhammer.

[@zacharypurdue4584]

I love that the subtitles are in Tolkien's Black Speech

[@ajbolt7]

Oh damn is that actually the Black Speech? I recognized some terms in there but I just figured they were being used as loan words

[@micmac274]

Horsi-Zap is probably not true Black Speech tbh.

[@TeianDown]

​@@ajbolt7 Tolkien only offered the ring inscription, one additional sentence, and two or three other random words as canon examples of the language, so any fully-featured version of Black Speech is basically fanfiction. This looks to me like a bit of a mish-mash of popular orc/goblin conlangs. Definitely some words yoinked from Tolkien (nazgul, goth, lug, the -um suffix, and uruk) and a couple from those fan extrapolations (groth, glok), but the translations don't match how they're used in the source material, so it looks like the subtitle writer did their own thing there. I also see a bunch of stuff that looks pretty Warcraft-y, a few delightful inventions (laser horses = horzi-zap, lol) and of course WAAAAAGH!

[@ferretyluv]

Oh wow, I didn’t notice until you mentioned but yes. Man, Chris is a massive dork.

[@Neon002121]

So pretty much all the official videos for Return to the Kingdom of Fife are complete bangers. The subtitles in goblin take this one over the top!

[@15Mars51]

Gotta love this subtitles. Taz'dax goth'gul da Uruk Grum'gar!

Sword Lord looks a lot cooler than I expected, not gonna lie.

[@Charronia]

I imagine those ancient glowing glyphs from the Starlords just said something like "do not enter".

[@jonathansiegel435]

Might be my favorite song on the album; especially Sozos belting it out at the end. So good!

[@theironpill9296]

This, and "Vorpal Laserblaster of Pittenweem" are true epic Power Metal songs.

[@FrobozzInc]

So the goblin are truely french ... I don't know what to think about it. Now that i think, France was honorable but not anymore Donc le goblin c'est vraiment du Français... Je sais pas quoi en penser. Maintenant que j'y pense, la France était honorable mais ne l'est plus All fair
