Stirland Lore Total War: Warhammer

[@Stoneforge1501]

Nobody wants to visit Stirland. I hear there is even an entry in the Great Book of Grudges about Stirland because they once served a dwarf lord boiled beer.

[@Aardappelman231]

Yes I have heard that story too I saw that in a documentary called the old world geographic

[@SchlagerFreund]

About the boiled beer. In Germany we call that "stacheln". The terms comes from the word "Stachel" which means sting. Stacheln works pretty well with Ale or darker beers in general. It is not so much about making the beer boil, but about caramelizing the sugar that is in the beer. This will intensify the taste of the beer and depending on the beer it will get a nice vanilla aroma. It is worth noting that you only put the hot metal in the beer for a few seconds. The total temperature of the beer should only be raised by a few degrees.

[@midshipman8654]

Schlager Freund this is really neat. I like that the creators of war hammer had an interest in german culture enough to incorporate small things like this. Makes it feel lived in and a product of genuine appreciation.

[@arthurrebello919]

Cool history. Still heresy.

[@ForossanFlint]

I'm born and raised here and this is completely new to me. Gotta try this next time I have the chance!

[@lordinquisitor6233]

How does a stirlander tell the difference between his wife and his cattle? He can’t!!!

I love this civil history for warhammer

[@thegrudgebearerpatt7465]

Can you do a similar series about dwarven karaks... please?

[@ThaLedg]

The Grudgebearer Patt that's actually a very good idea for content!!

[@ulfricedude9599]

No that’s gaye

[@scelonferdi]

Myabe after he finished Bretonia?There is a lot of potential for subfaction videos: Dwarfen Karaks, Skaven Clans, Chaos/Norscan Tribes, Bretonian Dukedoms, Lizarmen Cities, Greenskin Tribes and Waaaghs, Vampire Houses, Nehekharan Cities, Beastmen Herds, Imperial Provinces, Dark Elves Kingdoms and Ogre Kingdoms. Have I forgot some?

[@thatkn1ghtguy942]

Why are you gae?

[@adamcrhak]

Love these empire provinces videos...

[@Gorvar100]

I kinda wanna know more about Chieftain Freya, from what I've read of her in the wikia pages for the Sigmar books she's kind of a bad ass.

[@koalabar1712]

She had two children with Sigmar called Friedleifr and Sigulf.

[@markbrigandi7497]

You are quite the storyteller! I have been a fan of Warhammer (40,000 mostly, but Fantasy as well) since I got my first White Dwarf magazine back in about 1987- I was in a comic book/ used books shop at about age 12, and was looking for some inspiration for drawing. Something different, something I hadn’t seen before- and I picked up a copy of the magazine. Over the years, I read every issue that I could get my hands on (not too many, unfortunately- kind of hard to find as a kid in the US with very limited funds). Until three years ago, that was all the exposure to Warhammer that I had, and then I decided to look for a GW store in my area. Since then, I’ve spent most of my disposable income on 40K- codices, novels, and models, finally- I decided to paint, and have been hooked since. But I didn’t find AOS to be enough like the old Fantasy world that I had loved so much. I’m not a gamer- video or tabletop- but I love the lore, and I love drawing and painting the models, but I really missed Fantasy, and couldn’t find much that wasn’t 40K or AOS- until I stumbled across your channel. I watched one video and immediately subscribed- and for the past few days, I’ve been binge watching your videos. They’re fantastic- and exactly what I’d been missing and looking for all this time! I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for all of the hard work that you must have put into this channel and all these videos. I have a feeling that as soon as I reach the last one, I’m just going to start back at the beginning and watch them all over again. Thank you- your storytelling style is wonderful and very enjoyable- and you’ve given me a great many hours of entertainment of the highest quality.

[@GruwskiTheDogski]

I would love if CA does the Empire knighthood/orders justice within the second and third game. Would love to see DLC for the overall "end days" for the Empire and Chaos forces within the third game when daemons/chaos marks joins the game.

[@darkomihajlovski3135]

Gruwski The Dogski they only question is what would they do to make them unique fron one another

[@dafq9149]

like speed, armor and stuff bec every Kinghtly orders have their own specalties

[@GruwskiTheDogski]

So far each Knightly Order has their own kind of ritual and way of how they run business. Maybe they'll add in stat changes that makes sense for the different Orders and how they fight lorewise. I think CA did well with the Knights of the Blazing Sun stats as a shock and very aggressive/hard hitting cavalry.

[@darkomihajlovski3135]

Gruwski The Dogski i meant different abilities like how the knights of the blazing sun have fire damage i imagine the knight's of more would have terror the knight's of the white wolf would be questing knight's for the empire no idea what the other orders would have

[@jjhh320]

The mod Knights of the Empire has a ton of the knightly orders recruitable.

[@theHeritress]

Loving these. keeping fantasy alive :) p.s. Nagash previously invaded the empire so technically the empire has seen a larger force of undead. One of the south elector counts was even turned vampire. Solland or wissenland.

[@nasir6r996]

Sigmar up and wrecked Nagash, didn't he?

[@theHeritress]

Vampires abandoned Nagash in the last push and he cursed them to be weak to Sigmarites (and the sun), so yeah. But still an undead force larger than Vlad's is all I'm saying xD cuz Nagash

[@1Korlash]

Elizabeth Alyce Fain There's also a story where the Necrarchs led an undead horde into the Empire. In the middle of the battle a Tomb King army arrived, helped the Empire crush the Necrarchs, then just left. Needless to say, the Empire was very confused.

I wonder how the timeline would have been different if, nine months after that night, Queen Freya gave birth to a child that looked like Sigmar.

thank you thank you thank you! I was eagerly awaiting for some Stirland knowledge

[@dagothhyde7297]

I’m glad there’s a 40 minute video about Stirland lmao

Yay more lore videos. I found something to be thankful for. Now if only they wouldn't get smashed by vlad in the first 10 turns of my campaigns.

[@MrHappyBoomer]

Yes my favorite province :DD

[@generaldreagonlps6889]

That reminds me. I should put some beer in the fridge for the release of the stellaris update tomorrow.

[@Ulfrik12]

Hey I know this is an old video but I feel it is worth pointing out, I don't know whether it's been pointed out elsewhere, but Morr is not a traditional Empire god, he's actually a Classical god native to Tilea and Estalia. The Cult of Morr is actually an import cult like Verena, Myrmidia, Shallya and Khaine (yes the southerners actually worship the Elven god Khaine, has something to do with the fact that they built all their cities and city-states off of old Elven ruins and have a love for Elven culture. The native Empire pantheon consists of Ulric, Taal, Rhya, Manaan and technically Sigmar. So that's why Morr has its capital in Tilea as opposed to the Empire, not because the Empire doesn't like Morr, but because Morr is technically a foreign import god.

[@blacklight4720]

Vampire armor looks like GW let some 12 years old to design it. "I'm red, I'm spiky, I'm badass" :D

[@geemanamatin8383]

i wonder, why didnt the stirlanders just take the moot back by force? Halflings arent weak, but they seem outnumbered and at a disadvantage to their stirland neighbors.

[@AGildedLie]

Thanks, really cool video. Where do you get your info from? do you happen to have any more detail on anything in Sylvania? I'm working on a mod and am trying to trawl up every little detail I can about the province.

[@Imperial_Lion]

Hi, are you planing on doing Reikland, and if so when. I would really appreciate that, thx :)

I really do enjoy these

[@oplithsgr5625]

good one butt i will like to see High Elves provinces lore !!!!!!!!

[@Paul-nt5pj]

OPLITHS GR Italianspartacus has a pretty good high elf province vid

[@1Korlash]

OPLITHS GR Empire provinces have more a lot more lore about them because more stories took place there, plus the RPG supplements really fleshed their local geography and cultures (even if they 're not considered canon). There's more to talk about, so it makes sense that he isn't doing the kingdoms of Ulthuan yet. I definitely hope he does, though.

You were surprisingly close with "Stirhügel", just put the emphasis on Stir

Asking for her armies and people and the only thing that she asked from him is to sleep with her? Wtf? :D

[@blacklight4720]

Firas Ziada Gave him aids.

[@thelastwaltz730]

Firas Ziada to be fair she was probably swayed by his arguments and just threw that in as a “personal bonus”.

[@Groovybadger]

In my opinion her reasoning was that she wanted strong children and Sigmar being the epitome of manliness would suit very well. According to the book ”god king” she gave birth to twin boys that were the illegitimate sons of Sigmar. In a matriarchal society it makes sense... even more if one was a girl but that could not be planned for :D!

[@scelonferdi]

Maybe she anticipated how much influence Sigmar would get and thus decided to tie her bloodline to his? Children of Sigmar would definetly have been potential heirs.

[@nbmoleminer5051]

It's a shame the Stirlanders didn't retain any of their original culture particularly the matriarchal aspect that've actually set them apart/make them stand out from rest of the Empire.

[@chriscalvin5083]
