    05: Wider World Geography | Warhammer Old World Lore

    In this episode, the last of our 5 part introduction to the World of Warhammer, we take another guided tour this time through the wider world. We stroll through the Badlands (and briefly look at Nagashizzar, Darren's favourite place in this, or any other, fantasy world), Land of the Dead, Araby, the Southlands, Ulthuan, Naggaroth, Lustria, the Dark Lands, and the Ogre Kingdoms. We also touch upon the mysterious lands of Ind, Cathay and Nippon. As we travel we take a look at the cultures of the Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, Ogres, and Lizardmen that call this world home. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Chat with us on Discord⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chunks of Dhar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠⁠⁠

    04: Old World Geography | Warhammer Old World Lore

    In this episode, we take a short, guided, tour through the kingdoms of the Old World, from the Empire through the Wastelands, Bretonnia, Estalia, Tilea, and finally on to the Border Princes and Kislev. We take a look at the main realms of man and briefly explore their cultures and backgrounds. We also take a gander at some of the other races found in this part of the Warhammer World including the Wood Elves of Athel Loren and the Dwarfs of the mighty Karaz Ankor. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Chat with us on Discord⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chunks of Dhar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠⁠⁠

    03: Gods of Mortals Introduction | Warhammer Old World Lore

    In this episode, we finally extract ourselves from the Realms of Chaos and take a tour through the metaphysical manifestations of other races and cultures in the form of their deities. Old Ones, Elves, Dwarves, Greenskins, Ogres, and Halflings. We have a look at the whys and wherefores of their religions without judgment, except the Fimir because... yeah... ⁠⁠⁠⁠Show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Chat with us on Discord⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chunks of Dhar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠⁠⁠

    02: Chaos Introduction | Warhammer Old World Lore

    In this, our second episode, we focus on the topic of Chaos ...aos ...aos and dive a bit deeper into the four chaos gods a.k.a The Happytime Funsters, their purviews and legions, and ponder the process of their design (we suspect a set random beast tables). We follow this with a brief discussion the Winds of Magic (Chamon-mutha***er!) and what happens when things get out of balance. We end with a nice lump of Dhar Warpstone. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Chat with us on Discord⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chunks of Dhar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠⁠⁠

    01: Introduction to Warhammer Old World Lore

    In this episode, Darren attempts to encapsulate the first 10,000 years of Warhammer Fantasy history for Ben and Cral. This includes world formation, old ones, slann, chaos, the polar gates, the collapse of the polar gates (boo!), magic, orcs, elves and their great vortex (woo!), and the onomatopoeic qualities of Nurgle... nurgle nurgle. This episode of Laying Down the Lore is brought to you by Temple of Sigmar and Cattlecloak Fromagerie’s Dwarf Spread. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Chat with us on Discord⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chunks of Dhar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠⁠⁠
