Knightly Orders of the Empire, Part 3

[@ranger7827]

This explains why the "Garden of Moor" map in Vermintide was so maze-like. Nice touch

[@BattlerEvil]

+Ranger Croe Yeah Garden of Morr is so fucking awesome in my opinion.

[@jeck988]

+Battler Evil shame the Knights of Morr took a day off in vermintide

Arch you are by far the best warhammer and 40k lore guy on KZbin. Super duper Funny and really in depth. Thanks Arch keep up the good work.

[@magicspook]

Those knights of Morr sound awesome.

[@darrvenomfier790]

i being undead (long story) find the knights of morr to be just kind of creepy honestly because dear morr how are they not stealth units with their total silence in combat

[@chaosmarine5532]

All known knightly orders in the empire: knights of the blazing sun, knights of Morr, knights of the white wolf, knights panther, knights of the fiery heart, knights griffon, Knights of Sigmar's Blood, Knights of the Gold lion, Knights of the everlasting light, Knights of the broken sword, Knights of the black rose, knights of the black bear, Knights of the Raven, Knights of the Inner circle, Knights of the Sacred scythe, Knights Encarmine, Hunters of Sigmar and Knights of the Bull.

[@sjus4537]

Not to forget The Grand Order of the Reiksguard and the Order of the Hammer of Sigmar :) Also, inner circle knights are not a stading order in and of themselves. The inner circle knights are the very elite, the very inner circle, of any given knightly order, that be Reiksguard, Broken sword, Bear, Bull, etc.

[@MAGS-ik5uj]

@@sjus4537yes, this is true

[@Seruvius]

Man. I had forgotten how badass the Knights of Morr were/are, Thanks for reminding me Arch. As always, love the Lore videos. Now I've been inspired to make a Knights of Morr style order of paladins in my 5e campaign to freak out my PC's. Sometimes the creepy dude in the black plate armour is on your side. sometimes.

[@Darudeen]

Knights of Morr are like Paladins, except blacker.

[@TheDrow79]

And cooler...

[@balkenkreuz2063]

You made the Knights of Morr sound like complete bad-asses!!!

[@Trashbugh]

The Knights of Morr sound so awesome! And considerably intimidating. With them being guardians of the graveyards would they have much involvement in funeral rites and ceremonies within The Empire? Such as possibly carrying the deceased into the labyrinth like graveyard to rest?

[@bobbyjones6438]

So if the Knightly orders make it into Total War eventually, these two orders would be quite interesting. The Wolf order would most likely have a berserker charge trait and a large amount of morale, but still be susceptible to fear. While the other order would have a stealth ability, possibly guerrilla deployment, and be Immune to fear, but would have less of a base morale than the wolf order.To prevent them from being too powerful.

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

Damn this made me want to make a dungeon crawler where you have a party of grave robbers and you go to steal stuff from labyrinthine Empire gravyards while also taking care to avoid being nomed by undead or murdered by knights of Morr. Just think of the possibilities - you can try to learn simple magics to calm the undead(and risk getting chaos powers, witch hunters or both on your ass), you can try to outmanuver knights of Morr so they will fight undead for you(good luck, seing that they are walking on a home turf and know the layout of the place whereas you do not), etc.

[@tombouric]

You know what would be cool? Recruiting an Empire Knight unit in Warhammer Total War then choosing what order they belong to (or them changing based on the region recruited).

[@JoshuaBegin]

The black guard is definitely my favorite order

[@sjus4537]

The first picture you use for the Knights of Morr are actually a picture of the Order of the Black Rose. The Black Rose also hold allegiance to Morr but are a knightly order founded during the black plague in 1111 IC by the elector count of Stirland. They are often confused with Knights of Morr as they both use the same motifs associated with said god, that be skulls, hourglasses, roses, etc.

[@macromondo8026]

LOVE the Knights of Morr's Lore, is honestly one of those little thins that tend to be overlooked when designing a fantasy world where the Undead are a thing and it makes...quite allot of sense honestly, i'd say these edgy bois got every-single-reason available to be edgy.

[@bernardrednix756]

come to think of it,is cremation banned in the empire?

[@tac-floor1330]

but... maybe... go go go go ghost?!?!

[@RocketHarry865]

+Bernard Rednix how about cutting off the hands, feet and head of recently dead bodies so that the bodies would be useless to necromancers

[@larshoevenberg2247]

+Bernard Rednix I don't think it's forbidden but usualy people will bury their dead. Unless there is a plague or necromancer.

[@HaxtonSale4040]

They bury their dead because cremation is considered a sin against morr.

[@larshoevenberg2247]

Haxton Sale4040 Now it makes sense. Thank you.

[@Vampmonkey616]

I always wondered why the Empire didn't just make it law for all dead to be incinerated. Kinda hard for a necromancer to raise a zombie from ashes.

[@mrsir2254]

Cause reasons. Or, "morals"?

[@1gunsalute101]

So what, then we have a bunch of ghosts? :p

[@notinspectorgadget]

Do you know the precise temperature required for complete and total cremation of a corpse? how about a dozen, or two dozen? How about a couple thousand? Cremation itself is a very involved process.

[@StephenStine]

The Knights of Morr are fucking badass

[@Eliphas_]

ohh maan another good lore video :) i wonder how many more videos does it take for you to complete all warhammer lore O.o

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

My thanks for adding the Knights of the White Wolf, my favorite order of Knights, man I cannot wait to see them in the game, mounted beserkers! :D

[@LyricalDJ]

+SeraphimKnight Enough? No! We want Morr! We want Morr! *ahem*

[@matthewbolduc8243]

Knights of Morr.. But what about the other order "the Knights of More". The plus sized knights who outgrew their armor. Armed with hardened lust for cuisine.

[@EvilSmonker]

They secretely worship the chaos God of excess, aka Guy Fierri.

[@sadwingsraging3044]

Ah yes. Nothing like getting rushed incomplete silence and the only warning you have is the singular sound of a wooden spoon breaking the sound barrier right before the strike.💀

[@orthoff123]

Very good and interesting work! Thank you again!

[@jakobos93]

for half the video I was staring at the screaming snout of the warhorse in the background xD

[@djomlazz5]

you should do videos about ALL the cults in the empire. now that would be awesome

[@blackwatertv7018]

Order of the white wolf....sooo fantasy Space Wolves?

[@robertnelson9599]

yes

[@Waristheonlyanswer]

Another great lore video, would be awesome if you made a video about your feelings regarding warhammer 40k Eternal Crusade and if you like it.

[@ranger7827]

Best one yet

[@davidschaefer96]

Nice Space Wolves

[@calimerohnir3311]

+David Schaefer : they kinda came out before space wolves

[@YinYangTheWanderer]

Any way you could do a lore video on the minor races? Tilea, Estalia, Border Princes and the like? I know theirs not a lot on them officially but even a minor races condensed video would be cool

[@archmageeldran2567]

The Knights of the blazing sun used bows.

[@lucas_pbd]

Was this video released due to the fact that the new empire video Total war put out shows empire knights when he has the cursor over Altdorf it shows empire knights in the garrison?

[@putinontheritz6634]

I have an idea! If the dwarves can teach us how to make a clockwork horse, why not a clockwork pigeon that we can control to fly and blow up our enemies?

[@casey8153]

Hey Arch I thought the Knights of Morr also Specialize in using sickles as well?

[@charleswimer8240]

What about the Knights of the Raven and knights of the bull

[@broken1nail]

this is great content arch warhammer! all 3 knightly order vids have a special charm. can you touch on all other orders for other factions the same way?

[@619soysauce]

Does anyone know what happened to part 2

[@hashaborgonja]

Arch, I understand this video is over a year old now, but I thought i should point something out to you. The Knights of Morr do not go after the Undead so to say, they are mostly a passive order that fights the undead by stopping their access to corpses rather then outright hacking and slashing; the order that hacks and slashes is their sister order, knights Raven.... ...oh, and he pic you show is actually knights of the black rose =P EDIT: Last pic must be a Knights Raven, though the knights of Morr are known for using Raven symbols aswell.

[@Kreuzkruger89]

Do you think those two orders will appear in Total War: Warhammer?

[@estevilla25]

What happend to part 2?

[@steelgreyed]

Do you have any idea how bored I am to go here?

[@sanguiniusthegreatangel6880]

i clicked on this expecting imperial knights from 40 k i really should pay more attention to whats in the background

[@ronnie5340]

Hey arch! I am doing a playthrough of ostermark in call of warhammer, i was wondering. What is special about them? Are they any different from the other factions of the empire? Tnx

[@JamesAce]

What happend to part 2

[@jakobschoning7355]

So they are using twohanded hammers on horseback? And they are dedicated "brawling cavalery" and they dont wear helmets? I wonder how they live long enough to grow those magnificent beards :P Well i guess its Fantasy after all :P

[@bjarked47]

Arc i think you are mixing up knight of Morr and the order of the secred Scythe, when i comes to the pictures

[@Eliphas_]

Btw arch what can we tell about the numbers of these orders? how many are there? and i assume they are all dead in end times right?

[@matthewdeleon382]

What happened to part 2?

[@zackkilgore528]

He probably had it set to private because he made some comparisons and statements about the Reiksguard, Knights Panther, and Knights Griffin that KZbin doesn’t like, essentially he made some edgy jokes and after the hack scare he decided to move that kind of content to the Arch Cast

Great vid as Always. There is something I wondered about for a long time and i thought you might wont to make a vid about it. Why is there cav in 40k?

[@joeladel1518]

+Avatrass Ok. I just saw some rough riders and thunderwolfs, but I didn't know the extent of cavalry use in the galaxy.

[@pascalrieger4694]

+Joel Ädel In the Background some "cavalry" units use mechanised forms of transport similar to motorcycles, and only few regiments use something cavalry like at all

[@Waristheonlyanswer]

+Joel Ädel Its usually for planets where standard armor vehicles are either impractical or the conflict is not deemed worthy enought for them.

[@Etiblack01]

+Joel Ädel He explained it in his imperial guar videos i think.

[@chaosmarine5532]

+Joel Ädel Because the technology of the Imperium of Man is staggering and only minor technological advancements are made for the most part by the Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars, there are probably some major advancements but most of these are illegal and seen as heretical. Another reason is because horse cavarly serve as a very good scouting and harassing unit + they are much cheaper to recruit and maintain than a mechanical unit like a IG motorcycle.

[@chubbyninja89]

You should've showed a picture of some AOS stuff and then taken it way when you said "they were founded in the age of Sigmar".

[@romulusnuma116]

Chubbyninja Ninja-Brony he refuses to put that in his Google history.

[@chubbyninja89]

Romulus Numa it was just a joke. But I do see your point

[@mrsir2254]

Oh look, its Ulfric Stormcloak from the Warcraft base building games. 😅 Sorry, Fantasy shit seems pretty interchangeable sometimes not spefically Warhammer Fantasy mind you, although it does have a bit more 80's-ness too it. Anyone ever see Black Cauldron? Naggash's story seem familiar too You?

[@joearschtreter7165]

But Warcraft is a Ripoff from Warhammer, because GW want so much from Blizzard, so they decide to make a Game on their own

[@exactinmidget92]

is the Fantasy universe more tolerant than the 40K universe? or are they just as racist xeno bashers like 40K?

[@Quethonable]

exactinmidget92 Humans are still pretty much xeno-hating in Fantasy, but Dwarves, halflings and Ogres get some tolerance (the latter only really accepted as mercenaries). I think if anything fantasy is worse because beast men were partially accepted by the Imperium of Man before the HH I think, while in Fantasy they seem to be completely ostracised by humans.

[@undertakernumberone1]

well... the beastmen in WH FB afaik also considers humans nothing but prey and want to destroy all kind of civiliations... they also did that before there was anyhting like the Empire... so i think them being more or less the Chaos Equivalent of GS it can be forgiven that Beastmen are hated and killed on sight if possible... especially since most of the Empire is a big forest...
