The cycloptic bit usual is taken from the leader of the formorian Balor the eye gaint. Alot of depictions of formoria are cycloptic but this is not the case as they where a wide selection of evil spirits closer to primordial fears. I.g darkness, chaos, Plague etc.

But you can see why they dont exite gods. They are powerfull, wicked and twisted, but -Fight in boring way only when they have most opportune situation and environment favours them and lose stomack to a fight when they dont have a cover of mist. So no khorne -They live primitively in more like warrens than buildings, eat prolly some disgusting gruel for food, have sexslaves but only for procreation. So no slaneesh like decadence -No higher plots than organise raid -> get loot -> get biches -> leave before anyone changes mind -> party like champs until its go time again. No tseenzhian masterplan But what turns Nurgle from them? They dont embrace the deceases even though they live in bog.

I once theorycrafted that the Fimir were the last remnants of a great empire, one of the most powerful in the Old World in fact. But the appearance of the Old Ones brought an end to their horrible reign by first unleashing the Saurus to defeat them in open battle (after all, they can't have been created *just* for fighting greenskins) and reducing them to a handful of isolated rural swamp villages, and then creating a genophage to finish the job. Unfortunately the Fimir discovered their KZbin-ToS violating loophole and before the Old Ones could do anything about that the Chaos gates collapsed and the Old Ones vanished from history. I even wondered if perhaps the Fimir had been *behind* the mysterious failure of the polar gates in the first place as one terrible act of revenge.

By the time the lizardmen returned to those lands, they could no longer recognize their former (heh firmir) brothers.

Not really worse, significantly better, they can breed with willing women and are civilized whereas Goblins are feral and inherently cruel, most Fimir collectors interpret their Fimir clans as being symbiotic with human tribes, the Fimir gaining the ability to breed, the Humans gaining the protection of Fimir from the more murder-focused factions. The whole rape thing was a mistake based on poorly explained lore, the original writers intended for Fimir to be abductors of humans, yes, they enslaved humans, but the reproduction with humans was unrelated, and was based on Fomorians of Celtic legend marrying human women, willingly.

I really want these guys to be more prominent in some way. Imagine Tzeentch plants a small inkling of thinking and intelligent scheming in one particular female that is to be born in a Fimir clan where their queen is dying, so she becomes the new queen. With only a small fraction of effort from Tzeentch, this Fimir queen actually feels the need to join Norscan raids or have certain Fimir parties spread and migrate towards more bogs than just the Sea of Claws, as she sees more opportunities to grow the Fimir than raiding to (TOS) human women, which will eventually become unsustainable as humanity's weaponry and technology become more advanced. The migrants themselves don't have to be more intelligent, but since they'd be outside bogs more often trying to look for new ones, we can see them in other armies and other areas more. Plus, since they're more like a force of nature similar to the Beastmen, them spreading around the world outside Norsca, Kislev, and the Empire would only make the world more chaotic, so there's an in-universe reason to do so as well.

They're actually in Age of Sigmar, and the Warhammer Total War series, where They're made palatable by establishing that they don't, and never really did, rape women, but instead willingly breed with the chaos worshiping Norscans and other such chaos worshipers. Even in the old lore, that kidnapping stuff was always just slave gathering, and Fimir don't lower themselves by breeding with weakling slaves. It was poorly written initially though, hence people like Arch misunderstanding and thinking it was kidnapping people to rape.

I disagree that 30-40 state troops could handle 50+ Fimir defending their home ground. Had you said 300 I would agree. That is still a pretty small force that most places can assemble. A single Fimir is twice as large as a man, if not three times as large, and several times as strong. While no more skilled than trolls, a Fimir has such a physical advantage that if the human soldiers have similar numbers, or are less in number, they will be smashed and crushed and mulched, no matter how disciplined they are. The Fimir charge would crush them. 300 troops though? That would make the disorganized Fimir spread out too thinly and each and every one of them would find themselves fighting 3, 4, or 6 or 7 humans. Then they would be done for. 30-40 state troops defeating an entire Fimir clan though? Pull the other one.

Arch got a lot wrong in this video. Fimir never actually fight in battles, they tend to just protect themselves and their allied human breeding tribes. In the ancient era before the Old Ones arrived, the Fimir might have fought in large battles alongside the ancient human tribes, but back then the Fimir ruled the world, they were the original sapients of the planet, after all, and as such the only people they'd really be fighting with were other Fimir and ancient Humans, as the Old Ones hadn't yet mutated the demihuman races into existence, such as the Dwarfs, Elfs, or the Halfling/Ogre family. I guess they probably fought Dragons too, as those guys existed in ancient times, but mostly it was Fimir on Fimir conflict, with a lot of humans thrown in because of their value as soldiers in Fimir armies.

The fact they rely on humans for procreation very strongly suggests that the Fimir are not an ancient and/or fallen Chaotic race. I think it's far more likely, particularly given the matriachical factor and the diminutive size of the 'wizard class', that the entire species is the result of a curse. At some point, a a human female with gifted children got on the wrong side of a powerful magic user (probably a witch), and were transformed into Fimir. The intention of the spellcaster was to only damn the woman and her family, but due to some luck and imaginative procreativity, what began as a single woman and 2-3 kids expanded to become a somewhat functional civilisation. The person who cursed them didn't realise they had left open the loophole that any children created by their victims would also automatically be born as Fimir. This idea also fits with the Fimir always needing to live in the dark fog (i.e. damned to never live in the sun again), plus ties in with witches' curses often involving loss of an eye. It even explains their total lack of ambition and preference for living in ruined human settlements. Never sleep with a witches' boyfriend. XD

While Fimir are a blight to local villages, their threat-level seems limited. The REALLY scary monsters are the ones that DON'T need humans to multiply, in my book!

Arch I love your content but how did you do a 36 min video on the Fimir and not mention Albion once?

Sound loosely similar to the foglet in the Witcher series, based on Celtic and Slavic folklore

I love Fimir, still their old lore is one of the few cases where im ok with the ret-con. Dont need to read about some strange predilections of the author in excruciating detail. Other than the reproduction thing they are very cool.

Makes them pretty scary though. They aren't just another bipedal lizard monster. They are going to rape and sell your women's souls to demons if you don't stop them. Imagine being a young man called to arms to defend your village and you look back at your wife. Do you kill her yourself to save her from the torment and enternal damnation? Do ask her kill herself? Do you gamble everything on being able to defend your village? Do you leave it to chance that she will be able to escape the horrors that await her if you fall in battle? And what if you do win? Imagine coming home and seeing your wife committed suicide because of her nerves. I'm not sure when this lore was written, but the 80s was filled with debauchery and rape, I kind of like that grimy, gross, grimdark you got in the 80s. Just really degenerate stuff, but not in the same edgelord way we get these days.

I feel this was rather unfair to the fimir, I get they are unintelligent but we are saying alot when 30 barely trained men are being said to be able to handle possibly up to 40 or so fimir The fimir have metal working, magic and not forgetting their hulking mass and bodies, 30 men feels like that's not gonna go well, without atleast massive losses that is in that small group of guys Especially when yes a lack if formation is problematic, but doesn't take much thought for heavily armored and armed monster twice the size of a man to charge in from all sides
