Laying Down The Lore: Warhammer Old World

By: Laying Down The Lore: Old World
  • Summary

  • A monthly podcast focusing on the lore of the sprawling Warhammer Old World universe. With tongues firmly in cheeks we will help you to separate ghouls from goblins, snotlings from skaven stormfiends, and bonesplitters from beastclaw raiders ... this last pair was a test, they’re from Age of Sigmar and not Warhammer. See? Laying Down The Lore is the podcast you didn’t even know you needed! Join Ben and Cral, a couple of self-confessed Warhammer noobs, as they journey into a fantasy institution guided by ageing fanboy Darren as he attempts to distill and summarise 30 years worth of Warhammer knowledge into bite-sized chunks. Informative, irreverent, and largely irrelevant, Laying Down The Lore will come to be your indispensable guide to the world of Warhammer Old World.

  • 36: ”Tor Nakatomi” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt4 - Morvael, Bel-Hathor & Finubar
    Feb 21 2024

    In this episode we look at the three most recent Phoenix Kings; Morvael the Impetuous, Bel-Hathor the Sage and Finubar the Seafarer. We explore the implications of Ulthuan looking outward once more and the drastic increase in trade and exploration with the opening of Lothern to humanity under Bel-Hathor. We follow Finubar as he travels the world making alliances with those he sees and beneficial to Ulthuan and whatever future it can now forge for itself. We compare Finubar with Malekith and that dark soul’s own period of exploration at the dawn of Ulthuan. We close out the episode with a look at the current state of the High Elves and their place in the world.

  • 35: ”Freddosode” | Warhammer Old World: High Elf History Pt3 - Faded Glory, Scouring & Winds of Magic
    Jan 17 2024

    In this episode we start with the great Scouring of the Dark Elves by the Phoenix King Tethlis and his descent into bloodlust and scorched earth tactics. This is followed by a dissection of the reign of Bel-Korhadris who with the creation of both the White Tower and the Great Hunt shaped the culture and society of Ulthuan, perhaps more than any other king, into what it is today. We define their relationship to the winds of magic and what makes their mages so powerful. We look at the reign of the artist king Aethis who beautified Ulthuan to an extreme degree and neglected all else allowing the Cults of excess to resurge.

Fantastic introductory series on the Old World

This is a great, joke filled podcast on a variety of topics about Warhammer Fantasy's Old World. The jokes abound and this feels very little like a lecture and more like a conversation that anyone with even no experience with warhammer can understand. I enjoy this just as much as their 40k podcast. Keep em coming boys!
