Warhammer Fantasy Lore - Skaven - Part 1- Origins

Hey guys this is the first to my SKAVEN series of large lore videos.
In this video I cover "The Doom of Kavzar", the Skaven's Origins and a few other key moments in the early history of the race.
There will be a few more videos of this size which touches on many other points coming out once a week - please be aware I will also do other races too.
Thanks for watching!
Ps - please excuse the random pictures I used to explain Kavzar - there are not many pictures about this ancient city!

Hey guys! REALLY sorry for the late upload! Sadly we had net issues all day so the upload speed as greatly reduced but that being said here is this weeks video, I hope you enjoy it and I shall see you all very very soon! :)

[@damienpostell8143]

Beginning of a great series!

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

It's most likely going to be a three part series - with a TON of sub videos :)

[@blueldrrich84]

Hey, I'm cool with waiting if we get longer episodes :) excellent work!

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

Almost done with the next episode :)

[@atkmonkey]

Finishing the tower feels like a metaphor for me finishing painting my army.

[@Naidisbus]

I'll finish it for you, all I ask is that I'm allowed to paint one unit in my own style...

[@CFkatehudson]

for many generations my skavenslaves have been painted. years roll by and still the war machines are grey.

[@lexmortis5722]

So you finish painting and then realize what you did to yourself? xD Just kidding, the painting is probably fun and relaxing, wish I could afford xD

[@rashidjackson3705]

Love this. Skaven are awesome

[@wangchung2157]

Im not to into the Warhammer Fantasy as much as 40k but god dang if I dont love me some giant vermin rat men who are as crazy as they are sadistic

[@AgeofNagash]

Hi mate, I am going to start a Skaven army and thought no better than to come to your channel to get inspiration. Truly great video :) Also I have started a new series of lore and army videos on my channel. The lore videos focus on where the army was in the world that was and where they are in Age of Sigmar. I wondered if you would be up for joining me on this series as there are a lot of armies and you have a lot of knowledge!

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

Hey dude! Funny enough I am just about finished with a new 2000 point Skaven army! :) What are you going to start with? And sure! Would be cool! Pass me a message on discord group if you're in it. If not discord.gg/qURXBRH is the link as for some reason I do not get PM notifications on youtube, super weird!

[@Jollyroger117]

Lol I'm playing verminetide 2 and wanted to know more about the hoards I've been slaughtering for sigmar

[@erwinthedodo9205]

Shame

[@christianjrgensen8870]

Super informative video :)

[@lyessadeg2394]

The music is super annoying after a while. good though

[@eskurian8565]

I love to hear the lore, but this man pauses every 3 words and once you realise this you won't last 3 minutes.

[@Overanalyse_This]

I hate you sooooo much! I just can't listen to it now!!

[@ДушманКакдела]

Based

[@snorcutter]

Your speaking pattern gives me anxiety.

[@matthewstafford6504]

I enjoy listening to the lore but the narrator's voice bugs me (sorry narrator)

[@malgrimace]

Absolutely. I wanted to listen to this, but the way he narrates it is straight-up bloody awful

[@Stephen-N]

Even at 1.5 speed, your pauses are fucking long. Speak like a human.

[@cendresaphoenix1974]

I wish there was more heros lol I would love a scaven or vampire. Would be very interesting.

[@Terrgore]

What an amazing way to start watching KZbin again! Amazing work done with this one, you really outdone yourself.

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

Thanks mate! Next Monday's video will be a similar length I think I'm going to keep to doing large videos once a week and should I get any extra time I will do some smaller ones within the week as a little bonus :)

[@Terrgore]

The Great Book of Grudges While I would like the idea, don't forget that KZbin loves consistency.

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

Yeah it's always been an issue hmmmm maybe 1 large one on Monday and 1 small one on Wednesday & Friday? There's so many things I want to cover and I haven't even properly touched 40k yet haha!

[@Terrgore]

The Great Book of Grudges It's quite hard to find the sweet spot. Maybe not daily but a few days should work. Can't wait to see you touch on 40k, will you also do 1st edition stories or more current ones?

[@elitehodgy3892]

I love skaven this was amazing

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

Thank you :D

[@cookiecola5852]

Come, join us, our great undercity, YES YES! take guest, there we will

[@TheCorrodedMan]

“For skaven, treachery is a way of life Nothing is more natural than death and strife If you see a chance to put yourself ahead You better take it now, ‘cause tomorrow you’ll be dead”

[@buttknuckles8590]

Skaven are cute-sexy yes-indeed

[@pvoccsurfshacktitosson4362]

An all female skaven clan would be interesting. Basically the same premise as clan sniek, but not sexualized.

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

Oops! Looks like one image decided not to work after rendering :(

[@gnetkuji]

Warpstone still absolutely needs its own video. Additionally, here's an interesting topic: Mordheim and all the factions surrounding it like the Sisters of Sigmar.

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

Added to the list :)

[@frankquilo9633]

this is hard to listen to because of the unnerving speaking rhythm.

[@hg1651]

thank you for the uploads and hard work! sudded and will be watching all of your lore uploads ...218 plus lol here we go !

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

With a new one almost every day my friend! Haha small videos Monday-Thursday and larger ones on Friday's :)

[@hundun5604]

The music is perfect for this!

[@plaguemarine7767]

sorry had to dislike because the dislikes were at 12.

[@ДушманКакдела]

What’s the significance of thst

[@311JW]

@@ДушманКакдела The skaven are led by a council of 13. The 13th seat always occupied by their God; The Great Horned Rat

[@Finwaell]

So when you are talking about the "great and peaceful city, the picture with the hills and tents around the city is a painting of the Siege of Florence which happened in 1529-1530 :) just saying :) it's interesting history.

[@Destroya511]

Great narrative, sir. Thank you!

[@louiswilkins7461]

Thanks for sharing

[@NathanRojo-fk6zc]

[@delsolman24]

[@shadowenlight9588]

[@caleyyouhavtyuiopiy]
