As requested, this is a stand alone video of a previously released skaven story: The Doom of Kavzar, a tilean poem that describes the Origins of the Skaven race. Also, if you stick to the end of the video you will see a short preview of the content to come in the next days/weeks. I hope you enjoy it my friends and that you are having an amazing weekend!
Your telling of this, the Voice Acting is exquisite! It feels like it comes from the world itself, and the energy is even throughout it in a good way; then it rises in drama around the bell tolls! It is amazing, and as a VA my hat is off to you sir! Loved it when i first saw it, still sounds just as enthralling as when i first viewed it! Sincerely A Voice Actor.
Thank governments and capitalism. There's a remote chance the process can be slowed or delayed, but not without a dramatic U turn worldwide. Ideally 60 years ago.
@@atrtsh hahahahaha my strong children are of viking stock. My children will be eating your children before that happens. The strong will prevail. And the weak will serve as there stepping stones!!!!! Bahahahahahahah😈
There's a story of a haunted ball (like a masquerade) in the cursed city of Mousillon I found in the Empire army handbook (I think the 6th edition). Pretty creepy- would be nice to turn it into a lore video @TheBookofChoyer
*As the bells toll on high,* *From their burrows, from their nests and furrows, they draw nigh!* *The Skaven! The Ratmen!* *As thunder boomed, and lighting flashed, the frightened town had learned to fear the looming moon!* *The Skaven! The Ratmen!* (There is probably more to add but here is a short thing)
@@agnarogthedestroyer2941 Squeek is most humble-loyal of servant of the Great Horned Rat. Gifted power I shall bring many-all to Horned one's feet, yes-yes.
Man I don't know about anyone else but the most chilling part about this story is how when the men went to the dwarfs the third time and found them already wiped out. That is just blood chilling. Knowing that an entire city under your very feet is just gone. No sound, no warning. Just gone. Like I picture how it was, the dwarf just tunneling then ran across a sea of rat. Then it was all over in one night. (I like to think it was in one night when the dwarfs fell)
I will never get over this video or how this video made me feel as I watched it. I am in a near constant battle to get people to watch it with me at any given time.
Theory the man worked for the horned Rat and once the doors to the temple closed many skaven crawled from the nooks and crannies inside the temple and finished it once done and the bell placed they scattered the man's deal done so was his life as they say "No witnesses"
Ah, yes-yes, the good old days... back-back before we used Rattling guns and-and doom-flayers... back when we-we used good old swarm tactics... Oh, who am I-I kidding?! These are still the good-greatest days! Man-things and dwarf-things still die-die like they used to, so I no complain~!
I like the use of different media in this video. The use if warhammer models and vermintide clips. I do have a question, for the models, was the torch light and rifle fire painted or some type of special effect? If it is all paint, the artist is very talented!
Another day, another "multiple of 13" like on a Skaven video. It can't be coincidence anymore. Just in case anyone is curious, I made like #884, which is 13 x 68.
"What do we have to lose?" That particular statement didn't age very well The identity of the mysterious stranger is unknown Although the empire and the dwarves have their own legends Empire thinks skaven came from rats who ate demons' corpses after the war while dwarfs believe one of their ancestors, closely related to their main Gods, altered his own body into a monster and then created more of his kind
@@INSANE40K I think he literally only appears in this story. But I take it as being The Great Horned Rat before it became… the Great Horned Rat. However, there’s nothing to back my theory up. It could also be The Changeling but where did it get the Screaming Bell? And the Skaven clan Pestilens has many similarities to the cult of Nurgle, and in Age of Sigmar they’ve started working together as partners in biological warfare. Nurgle is the mortal enemy of Tzeentch, The Changeling’s “boss”, so this also falls flat. We know nothing of the Skaven’s god other than it’s manipulative, treacherous, and wants it’s “children” to rule the surface. We do not even know if it’s a Chaos being or something else. Skaven have an obsession with crystallized Chaos (Warpstone), but the Daemons and their worshippers don’t seem to search for it on the slightest. The Great Horned Rat has spoken many times tho.
I don't think you guys ever quite managed to surpass this one in both execution or use of music. I know its mostly editing but MY GOD, I literally tell every living soul I come into contact with about this damn video I love it so much.
I am obsessed with the sound of this bell I don’t know where you found it or if you made it, but it’s incredible Could it be possible to get the audio alone in some way?
What heresy is this? Everyone know these tales of rat creatures are false and if you keep this up; I’ll have to report you to the witch hunters for heresy!

You too man, I'm hoping you make a ogre vid sometime, the editing and writing is very engaging
Did you ever hear the tragedy of the Doom of Kavzar? I thought not. It's not a story the man-things would tell you. It's a telien legend.
Yes, Witch Hunter, this one here is the one talking about those things that don't exist.
meh, works better in 40k ;)
@@mr.j8356 BY SIGMAR THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!!!
we should rain Hellstorm Rockets on those Heratics
Oh they are real I have seen them my self they are the most dangerous bests in the under empire long live clan Eshin
Definitely one of favorite Warhammer stories and probably something I'll tell my children and grandchildren before bed.
Yeah warhammer parents make real children.
You won't have grandchildren. Most likely your children will die in the famine and migration wars long before they get a chance to reproduce.

This is probably the Best Scary Warhammer story to tell people during Halloween.
Are there scarier stories than this one?
Yeah, you should check out the wizard in the tower story about death master snikch. Not necessarily scarier but still fantastic

@@SPQR7117 Do you have a link?
@@TheRadude I do not! It was in the Empire army book- one I sadly don't have anymore.
10:25 that's oddly terrifying. The notion that not even the dark gods of chaos could save them from their fates.
This needs to be voted up higher, really says how scary it is
This is why Bardin has a Steam-Assisted Crank Gun. They won't catch him unprepared.
Also with purple juice by his belt. dwarfen daka daka daka
Two words my friend: Deathmaster Snikch
::laughs in rattling gun::
The fall of kavzar and the rise of skavenblight
Very likely
Yes yes
As the bell tolls thirteen times,
They come from the holes,
They once hide,
Prepare for the vermintide.
*As the bells toll on high,*
*From their burrows, from their nests and furrows, they draw nigh!*

Man the war cry at 10:10 is scary through a phone. Imagine hearing that while you and your fellow soldiers see nothing but darkness and red beady eyes
"And everyone was happy..."
And they were punished for forgetting what universe they inhabit.
A great bedtime story for all ages, yes-yes.

Took me a second to understand that this is a cut from your old video
Such a creepy story
Pretty nice to watch the entire story.
Plus that 15:50 is hell nice, specially when it bumps the other ship and they scream WAAAAGH!
This has always been one of the best Warhammer stories, and you've really done it justice in your telling.

Skaven Lore is best-most interesting lore, yes yeeesss
If only any other race had been written with half as much love and passion as the Skaven were written.
This would make a great bed time story!
As soon as the first bell toll I am out there. Crazy!!! .
5:00, turn the bass and volume all the way to max. enjoy the doom of a city. the bell tolls for thee, yes yes.
God this is so fckin gnarly
Watching this before bed legit gave me ratman nightmares

Das gud bozz!
Thank you for your hard work.

I do have a question, for the models, was the torch light and rifle fire painted or some type of special effect? If it is all paint, the artist is very talented!
My gf says that she wouldn't be scared of them please help me convince her otherwise.. she must learn!
Love this Thank you!
awesome the birth of the skaven
Let the bell scream-scream :)
Good shit
the hooded man was the horned rat or a gray seer as gray seers speak the manling speech
The skaven are so cool
I know this is in lore 13 stanzas, but each stanza here is basically a paragraph lol
2:46 music??
How come noone thought to destroy the bell?
listening Martian cowboy and watching this aint too bad.
Damn clan rats.
Serve the horned rat fight yes yes
Came back for the upteenth time cause it's october
Did anybody know who the gray man was and/or why he did what he did?
We don’t know why, but apparently he was an Old One.
Please make more videos I wait weeks for you
So...this is a repost of the skaven bell?
Can anyone send me a link for this picture? Would be really cool wallpaper. 12:06
Thank you!
Oh oh, can i request for an Ogre or Skytitan (Giants) lore?
40k content sooon!!!!!
Another day, another "multiple of 13" like on a Skaven video. It can't be coincidence anymore. Just in case anyone is curious, I made like #884, which is 13 x 68.
Is this a reupload i watched this a month ago
Vampire coast
Yeah true story it happens that's out Skaven was born
does this mean 40k videos 0_o
Had this video not already beeing posted?
Yes my friend! Check out the pinned comment 😃
Now lets hope netflix makes a tv show out of this warhammer story
reupload?
So...who was the stranger that completed the tower in one night? Any definitive answers in the lore?
my best friends in a mental hospital and my other best friend is pregnant BUT its okay because the book of choyer uploaded
Ya...can’t...just randomly throw that in there
You've done this same video like 4 times.
This store is great lore from Warhammer Fantasy.

If only GW loved any other race half as much as they loved Skaven
They have a lot in common with the Skaven.

These are brilliant. Especially in a world ruled by pestilence and fear.
Hey guys, I would like to make subtitles for this video both in english and in spanish, would you allow community contributions for this one?

A very extremely awesome video as always The Book of Choyer.
I love this story way to much.
WELCOME TO ESTALIA GENTLEMEN !
Black as ash?
So you like Tower of Babel tale? how 'bout the same, but with giant, angry, human-hating rats?
lol the picture from 4:20 is from a mount and blade warhammer mod called warsword conquest that im playing rn
I dont think Skaven in that story were looking like this. That is their origin story, so they were just big rats starting to mutate. Good job though.
10:14 You know you are fucked when even Daemon Princes or Dark Gods do not want your soul
Read this before but this is an awesome rendition. ❤👍
