Rise of the Chaos Dwarfs - The Legion of Azgorh LORE DOCUMENTARY

[@InvictaHistory]

Long time fan of the Total War series and been having a blast with the ongoing Warhammer titles. Its insane to see how many factions they have brought to life so far. Super happy to be a small part of helping rekindle the flame of Warhammer Fantasy!

Long note on the rather complicated subject of CD mutations. Most CDs are indistinguishable from their non chaos aligned cousins, aside from their tusks/fangs (and perhaps the hate filled look on their faces). Some CDs develop horns, and these are seen as a gift from Hashut himself, and are more common in the higher echelons of CD society but are usually ground down to fit in helmets and headdresses. CD sorcerers almost all have horns and many have cloven hooves as well. Contrary to popular belief, CD sorcerers turning to stone is not some “monkey’s paw” type price for their power, it is the dwarfs’ natural resistance to magic that is responsible. Their bodies reject using spells and the like, and slowly turn to stone because of it. Bull centaurs are actually CDs. CD women very rarely give birth to bull centaurs(which is 100% fatal), who are quickly whisked away by the sorcerer prophets. This is a completely random mutation. The sorcerer prophets are also capable of inducing the mutation on unborn children in times of low numbers. As centaurs age, they grow more and more metallic. Regular medicine starts to become ineffective, and to seal their wounds, molten metal is used.

I just love the idea Choas-alligned individuals trading. I imagine there is a Chaos Dwarf with a little binder full of reports, and he's just scracthing his beard about the losses that quarter.

[@genghiskhan6809]

[@CollinBuckman]

"Sir, profits are down a lot this quarter." "Sacrifice some slaves to Hashut."

[@patrickmcginty3234]

Well it's not like they can use all the weapons they make. Besides, where else can they sell their premium gear when their more conservative cousins practically corner the market in lands like the Empire?

[@Nomadith]

If in doubt, become the arms dealer on two sides of a chaos warrior civil war, or supply an ogre tyrant with weapons and meat if they go attack your enemies

[@jrockoclock7088]

Chaos Dwarfs are one of the most interesting factions because they're so antithetical to the both chaos and dwarfs aside from the technological and smithing element of dwarfs (and I guess inherent resistance to magic). And they're not very chaosy either - they are very careful and strategic, but mostly just actually evil. They're less parallel to chaos as it relates to humans and more like dark elves as they relate to other elves.

[@Khainite]

I absolutely love documentaries like this on fantasy armies and conflicts, complete with overhead views on troop movements and background details to make it feel almost real. I didn't know this channel did fantasy stuff. Very cool.

Seems magic is the great equalizer in this world. Also, Warhammer is meant to be a parody that takes itself semi-seriously.

Bretonia has access to some early industrial age tech, but they find that it polites the sky, and more importantly their sacred lakes. Besides, why would they want canons that can explode when they already have the perfect weapons? Horses and magic steroids? It's worked for centuries.

The Chaos Dwarves are my absolute favorite. Small Sidenote about TW:WH3 addition of the Legion of Azgorh: The Infernal Guard, which was shown in CAs trailer in that amazing Sardaukar Scene, actually yell "Sardaukar" once in a while. And as someone who's also too much into Dune, this comparison is very fitting. And it makes me happy to see little things from other franchises I like in otherwise different games. Especially if it fits.

[@doomguy19931]

Chaos Dwarfs are my favorite take on the "darker version of a classic race," alongside the Dunmer from Morrowind. They're not just "original race but meaner" but rather a radical departure from their ancestral race.

[@dev-pj9vi]

Awesome video, thanks for doing warhammer with the same style as your history documentaries. Crazy that MilkandCookies did the script, very cool. Ultimately amazing to hear the story of the Chaos Dwarfs. Their origins remind me of the Druchii, how they became the way they are over centuries of relying more and more on dark sorcery, pacts with daemons, cruelty, and slave labor to survive their lives and the war after separation with their former people.

[@amontries3239]

[@thorCast]

Since your so good at covering battles throughout history, it'd be amazing if you covered warhammer 40k battles similar to your revenge of varus series. Like how archwarhammer did a siege of vracks series and a bhadab war series you could do something similar but ALOT better. Using in-universe sources the way you do for actual historical battles. You could cover horus heresy battles like the burning of Prospero or 40k battles like the war for Armageddon or lesser known lore battles or rebellions. You would easily become one of the top 40k lore channels on top of your already prestigious reputation as a history channel.

Hashut is basically the Golden Calf from the Bible. After Moses went up to Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments from God, the Israelites waited patiently for his return. But after waiting so long without any sign that Moses will return, they eventually felt abandoned and lost faith in God and started worshiping a golden calf as a replacement deity. In doing this, the Children of Israel had broken their covenant with the Lord and turned to evil, just as the Chaos Dwarfs had abandoned the gods of their forefathers and turned to the worship of their own false idol in the imagine of a bull.

[@zalekvoris1517]

Hashut has more in common with the biblical moloch, a bull deity that requires human sacrifices and is often connected to fire, and in modern times the fires of industry.
