Note: After some reflection I’ve realized I should just source the images in the video. Feels wrong leaving them up without knowing where they came from. Expect that to be updated in the description in the next day or so. My apologies to any artist I neglected. I’m still figuring this TH-cam thing out. It won’t happen again, I promise. Edit: I have added a section in the description showing the sources for the images used in the video.

Some things to note: 1. The Aautokratas of the later empire are not descendants of the purest, but ordained; due to there victory in the blood senate. 2. The forgotten saint is also a iconoclast - in short, he’s the most recent appearance of the same figure, who’s mentioned in Chevalier as the “black mob” and aversaria as the “mindseeker”, a figure of great power that gave magical power to his disciple’s. May also be the “Sword of the Angels” 3. Maybe also include Gardfrei’s northern journey next time
This is why I love crusader kings, it allows us to make stories. And the modders and writers in the community are some of the best. Loved the vid about to watch more.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that they have actually included stuff like the reconstructed frieze of Aeras and the drawing of him by the Magi-Archaeologist.
This mod is INCREDIBLE. I remember playing this years ago and being absolutely blown away by the detail and the setting and the lore. It was what convinced me that CK3's modding potential was a cut above all the other PDX games. Nowadays we have amazing mods like Elder Kings & AGOT & LOTR, but Godherja remains special to me just because of how unique it is. It's not based on a massive fantasy franchise with deep archives of lore and story to draw upon, it is instead a seemingly original creation borne from the creative minds of the team behind it. An incredible and original fantasy map set basically right as the barbarians breach the gates and Godherja's version of the Roman Empire is in collapse (while the literal world is ending) is such a badass concept.
Finally someone notices this great mod. It has a very interesting world with a lot of interesting characters with unique content. I hope it gets more famous
Grimdark settings are true breeding grounds of interesting stories! Godherja has exceeded beyond any expectations i had since it's supposed to be just a mod. It blew me away! And you my good sir made a phenomenal job of summarising the lore, and earned yourself a new subscriber. Hope this video goes viral.
@@Soul_Tomato Ye the lore is very reminicent to me of Brandon Sandersons books could probably make a book in that style around some new characters but it is a big ask of a bunch of ck3 modders to make a book stiil here's hoping for it.
As someone who has played this mod and other ck3 overhaul mods for years I've always found it odd how Godherja hasn't blown up within the community. It's by far the best original fantasy mod and it has so much depth that it could easily have a series of Elder Scrolls-like games, IMO it blows every other ck3 overhaul mod out of the water.
It's probably the fact that it is a new lore-heavy universe that is the "problem", quite daunting for new players to get into. In EU4's Anbennar the lore is also directly tied to gameplay through the mission tree which helps.
Heavily recommend playing one of the sjakvolki tribesmen, any really. Migrate into Aversaria with the Imperrech, found some kingdoms across the shattered sea before moving on further east, then settle somewhere south of the redlands with distant relatives across the aversarian isles. Its really fun to have a spread out dynasty with many different branches, hybrid cultures and tribes
What an interesting birthday present for me, the world building in Godherja fascinates me - especially because I can't play the mod due to performance issues in the base CK3 experience, which Godherja would amplify
I downloaded it, looked at the sheer might of lore, the cool map and very complex factions.... And went right back to The Elder Kings, my mind is dealing with enough lore I don't have room for more. Right now, maybe in the new year, till then ill take this video with thanks!
@@LonelyKnightess I'd love to join your team but I have a full time job (as an artist too so after it I feel burnt out). I can't exactly give full hours or even that much time. It just seemed so cool it made me wanna draw it but at my own pace. I love this kind of stuff cuz I love concept art . Absolutely amazing stuff tho. 10/10 would read entire 100 page novel if you ever make it.
I know Lonely Knightess messaged you already but if you ever find the time or find yourself making even a little art then I’m sure the team would be overjoyed.
I gotta say people need to stop spectating magic fights in this universe. The amount of times you hear something like “everyone nearby was killed in the blast”. It’s like getting front row seats to a nuclear missiles test
@@Soul_Tomato if you make a character "the rightful heir of a destroyed empire" AND the most powerful magi' ... no matter what he has done, someone will play him...
What man is worthy of the throne of a land he destroyed, in a world he doomed? Were he not so irredeemably evil, he might be the only man who could save this damned world, but instead he is its executioner. No. We march south, to break the empire once and for all, to exact the only justice that can be delivered to absolute and utter evil.
Really good summary, I must say. Having read the lore primer myself, this is probably the most simplified yet most informative summary that could be provided given the approach taken. Great job 🫡 Although everyone is wrong, Cois of Palitake is the rightful Aautokratir and incarnation of the Purest
Paradox games modders are incredible: Anbennar for EU4, the mlp mod for hoi4 and Godherja for CK3. All of these managed to create an entire new world and fill it with lore that makes you feel like you're playing the game first time again, even after hundreds of hours of playtime.
@@Soul_Tomato It tries way too hard. "Half of the world died....but then, some years later, half of the survivors died!". And all the stories related to the boy and girl emperor just sound like bad fanfic.
@@rianrodrigues8195 I agree. Plus all the copious deaths, tons of spectators dying in magic duels (why do they even come watch?), the afterlife being ruined twice, its just all so overt the top.
Man thank you so much for showing this. To creators of the mod, if you're reading reading this, the world is so interesting I want this as a book. I've just finished the video and can't wait to read the lore doc. The world is AMAZING I can't describe how much I love this.
@@Eros-Universe that...is closer actually. although the lead develop is apparently not a fan of souls likes but I think you can see interesting parallels.
More like it if it had been written by a teenager who read ASOIAF, Eragon and a lot of badly-written DnD splatbooks. Absolute unfiltered garbage. Unironically, the map would be better served if you removed it from the lore.
Wow, the world-building is extremely detailed as I've never heard of Godherja before. Good luck with getting this to mainstream but, unfortunately, I found it a bit uninteresting and couldn't finish the video. I really wanted to get into this as I'm a big CK3, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc. fan... maybe I'll try again later. Thanks for the video.
@@Soul_Tomato like playing as certain nations feels more like you only have a few paths and it more or less ends up similar like Russia i think but i think it excels at storytelling and making you feel like your part of the dark world and that's what i love about it
I’ve done a few other videos showcasing mods in a group. I’ve also done a lot of coverage for the very popular AGOT mod as well as some Collab and runs in the LotR mod. But I’m always happy to check out more.
Yea, Im definitely going to give this a shot, I love well thought out fantasy worlds, especially ones with harsh lore so that achieving something, or just even being good there feels like a challenge and is rewarding to pull off. Thanks for the video, stumbled on it by accident and Im very glad to know about this project.
I was going through mods last night and this was one of the only ones I didn't know that made me stop. But it felt like too much lore to learn since I already have saves in AGOT, Kings, LoTR, and use the AEP in my vanilla games. But this video was perfect, I'm going to go download and jump in. Cheers!
Godherja is the reason I finally upgraded my computer as my old Mac could run Ck3 but with Godherja was just to much. Now I had been looking for an upgrade but Godherja was the real reason, I just wanted to play the damn mod!
Someone should really pick this up and make a movie or TV series about it. Seems like Godherja has even surpassed After The End as the CK mod with most in depth lore.
It's a great setting but I think it has significantly more than AtE. AtE is way more prone to head canon. Godherja simply answers almost everything you can possibly ask lol.
I had to check if they had any books on this. I hope they can continue expanding on this world and maybe we could get some books or comics based on it.
The Aversarians were heavily inspired by the Union nobility from the First Law trilogy and Valyrians from ASOIAF from what I understand. So not a bad read really.
Honestly nice to hear someone with a positive take on that. You’d be surprised (maybe) at the negativity that’s been spouted from that community in these comments.
I’m usually a big lurker but wanted to comment to give you the boost and let you know I thought this was excellent. I’d love to see you do a campaign of this mod
This mod just reads like someone was overly attached to the word "ae" and letter "A" and just...ran with it. It's one of the big reasons I have trouble understanding Godherja (even though I love the concept and quality). So many long, unnecessarily overcomplicated name everywhere, and like 75% of them involve the dreaded "ae ae ae". Kinda ridiculous at times. But still, thank you for this video. It is excellent, and helped me understand the basic themes of this mod's lore at least.
So i started a save before knowing any lore, picked an aversarian start in the islands, when i saw cenware hordes getting closer and closer and conquering everyone, i went full intrigue and murdered him, exploding his empire into many smaller realms. Unknowingly i follow the cruel route, making my aversarian ancestors proud. The decades that followed were of growth and consolidation, the empire of the pure is closer and closer to being reborn.
What I really appreciate is that they changed the map enough for the allusions to earth history to remain as just allusions rather than straight up copying the real world the way some fictional settings end up doing.
This was really awesome. I just want to say I wish "Lore Creators" would add more mystery into there Lore. When you have all the business with Gods and creation. If you just put down some ancient ruins with insane technology, but zero idea what became of them, it adds a lot more depth, and it's fun to speculate. I don't maybe it's just me.
I would love videos going over specific character lore and decisions they can make in game. One of my favorite characters and campaigns is Cois so I would love to see a video on him or any other interesting character. An example of going over in game decisions could be the major one where he beats cenware, where he becomes his subject, or beats him infuriating cenware and then loses and gets killed. That quicker because he dies. I don’t know if these would even be videos you’d want to make, but I’d be interested in them.
Ugh, now i want a book series. Well done on the vid. I will say my only complaint is that as someone who uses headphones, your voices volume fluctuates often in the vid. I suspect this is only really noticeable for someone like me using noise cancelling headphones of a pretty decent quality. Thanks for the overview.
Note: After some reflection I’ve realized I should just source the images in the video. Feels wrong leaving them up without knowing where they came from. Expect that to be updated in the description in the next day or so. My apologies to any artist I neglected. I’m still figuring this TH-cam thing out. It won’t happen again, I promise.

Don't let Hbomberguy catch you out.
Btw, its weird Aelfir are specifically said to have pointed ears but the illustration shows big lettuce-like ears
This is the kind of lore that would be more than enough for a whole series of fantasy novels, let alone a game mod made for free
I’ve told Lonely Knightess this a couple times already haha
This is why I love crusader kings, it allows us to make stories. And the modders and writers in the community are some of the best. Loved the vid about to watch more.
I hope this goes viral because this is my favorite CK3 mod
You and me both
It's just incredible
Just found this channel from this amazing vid. Def going at least a lil viral :)
So you want it to be ruined? How is it your favorite then?
@@vroomkaboom108 How would that ruin it 🤡 You sound like a gatekeeper
Thank you so much for making the video! Can't wait to see you cover more of our madness-induced lore in the future :)
Hahaha thank you my friend
Opakasija should be of focus, very interesting mechanics and unique events the player can take.
Bros own TNO fans groomed him to turn trans 💀💀
I beg you write an actual book about this
I dont even have ck3 but i might watch this video just because of how cool your lore is! I love fantasy mod passion projects
"this is just a game mod it cant be that crazy"
10 minutes in: "and then they killed god"
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that they have actually included stuff like the reconstructed frieze of Aeras and the drawing of him by the Magi-Archaeologist.
The lore and its supplements go so deep you have no idea haha.

It’s so fresh and a wonderful blend of other IPs. I agree it’s great
40 minute lore video about about an obscure mod that I am probably never going to play? FUCKING COUNT ME IN!
I’m the same way haha. Enjoy!
Finally someone notices this great mod. It has a very interesting world with a lot of interesting characters with unique content. I hope it gets more famous
I hope it does too. I’d love to see it expanded into other games too
Grimdark settings are true breeding grounds of interesting stories!

And you my good sir made a phenomenal job of summarising the lore, and earned yourself a new subscriber. Hope this video goes viral.
Here’s hoping. For myself and the lore. Happy to have you. Expect more lore videos in the new year!
The lore is fire. I read the word doc and wow, I could read a book about this.
Official petition to peer pressure Lonely Knightess to write one.
@@Soul_Tomato Ye the lore is very reminicent to me of Brandon Sandersons books could probably make a book in that style around some new characters but it is a big ask of a bunch of ck3 modders to make a book stiil here's hoping for it.

It's probably the fact that it is a new lore-heavy universe that is the "problem", quite daunting for new players to get into. In EU4's Anbennar the lore is also directly tied to gameplay through the mission tree which helps.
Maybe it's the shit writing? Just a guess. The map is dope, the lore is unsalvageable garbage.
Agree to disagree@@hashkangaroo
@@hashkangaroo What makes it shit in your opinion? From my newcomer perspective you come off as... spiteful?

ABSOLUTELY EPIC! I would love to be part of a lore writing team for a project like this
It’s nuts. Not idea how a literal mod for CK3 has some of the best lore I’ve read in years.
Deadass? I got a project that could use help.
Godherja is the sole reason I bought CK3. One of the best mods ever made.
Agreed. The depth is staggering
What an interesting birthday present for me, the world building in Godherja fascinates me - especially because I can't play the mod due to performance issues in the base CK3 experience, which Godherja would amplify
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday friend!
Goeie Verjaarsdag🎉
Happy birthday!
That was awesome I love Godherja lore and this video have made some things really clean for me, thank you!
Glad to help! Look for more lore in the coming year. Plenty more to explore.
I downloaded it, looked at the sheer might of lore, the cool map and very complex factions....
And went right back to The Elder Kings, my mind is dealing with enough lore I don't have room for more.
Right now, maybe in the new year, till then ill take this video with thanks!
Hahaha totally understandable. Hope to see you back in the Dying World soon
This lore is so fascinating it makes me wanna illustrate it all
We're looking for artists if that's your thing!
@@LonelyKnightess I'd love to join your team but I have a full time job (as an artist too so after it I feel burnt out). I can't exactly give full hours or even that much time. It just seemed so cool it made me wanna draw it but at my own pace.

ive already read the whole doc but its very nice to have a comprehensive video to come back to thanks for the vid
You’re welcome. Glad you liked it!
What a fantastic overview. Nicely done Soul 👏🏻
Thank you Grayzo. Hope it convinced you to try it out on the channel.
I once read the entire lore doc, and I must say, you made it so much more palatable.
Glad my journalism degree was good for something
Your taste buds were not lying, my man, Godherja is absolute dogshit and not even Soul_Tomato's voice could cover that up.
Only a few minutes in and this is some of your best atmospheric editing yet. The davinci project timeline must have 40 tracks lmao
Lmfao it was quite the effort but I think it turned out well in the end
I gotta say people need to stop spectating magic fights in this universe. The amount of times you hear something like “everyone nearby was killed in the blast”. It’s like getting front row seats to a nuclear missiles test
arsenon really went afk at the worst time
They really said “ignt imma head out for some celestial fulfillment” and then died
I have to say, I am hooked. I am incredibly excited to take a much deeper look now.
I wish you well! Enjoy the plunge. Make sure you come back for my upcoming lore videos though haha.
@@Soul_Tomato what are you cooking next? Sticking with Godherja or moving over to the other big overhauls?
It’s a bit of a variety around here but godherja has a few more planned and in work projects don’t worry
A great summary of a large lore mountain. Now I'm tempted to restore Aeschraes to his rightful throne
Maybe pick someone else - anyone else lol
@@Soul_Tomato if you make a character "the rightful heir of a destroyed empire" AND the most powerful magi' ... no matter what he has done, someone will play him...
The world truly is doomed

Very glad I found your channel man, all the stuff you is so cool!
Thank you that means a lot
Dude, I actually read the primer 2-2.5 years ago and haven't played the mod since. Nice to have a convenient refresher.
I think it may have been updated a little since then too so glad to be of help!
Really good summary, I must say. Having read the lore primer myself, this is probably the most simplified yet most informative summary that could be provided given the approach taken. Great job 🫡
Although everyone is wrong, Cois of Palitake is the rightful Aautokratir and incarnation of the Purest
Hahaha sure sure (the legions are coming to your house. We have already taken your family). Thanks for the kind words!

If you like Mount and blade warband then I also recommend the Prophecy of Pendor mod
Idk why I keep missing all the ambitious mod videos, time to finally check one out
Hope you like it
Never heard of this before, but anything that makes someone mention Might and Magic has got my vote. Going to dive into this mod after work today.
Hope you enjoy it!
After watching the video, I can say Godherja is a setting of pure grimderp.
Why do you say that?
@@Soul_Tomato It tries way too hard. "Half of the world died....but then, some years later, half of the survivors died!". And all the stories related to the boy and girl emperor just sound like bad fanfic.

You’ve just dipped a toe into an ocean my friend. Enjoy!
Some day!
So basically this is Anbennar if the lore had been written by the fusion of Tolkien and Lovecraft's ghosts
There’s no fantasy races and it’s not in the 15th century so, not exactly. Same scope though from what I’ve seen of that mod.
@@Soul_Tomato So it would actually be Elden Ring if the lore had it written by Lovecraft
@@Eros-Universe that...is closer actually. although the lead develop is apparently not a fan of souls likes but I think you can see interesting parallels.
More like it if it had been written by a teenager who read ASOIAF, Eragon and a lot of badly-written DnD splatbooks. Absolute unfiltered garbage. Unironically, the map would be better served if you removed it from the lore.
@@hashkangaroo The lore is not bad, at least it is better than Hiridia's (that was the definition of disaster)
Well I will check this out. Thanks for showing this mod to me.
You’re welcome!
Finally I've been missing out on TH-cam about godherja
Happy to help!
This would go so hard as the setting for a D&D campaign, or a BG3-style videogame
I had not even heard about it gonna have to check it out now!
Enjoy!
I definitely have to try the Rene build. Rebuilding the once great kingdom of men in the west.
Great video!!
I think the chevaliens def fit your vibe for sure

That’s alright. Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
Paradox needs to give the creators of this mod resources and publish a full on game for them. I've never seen so much depth in a mods lore
I would die if this happened
Ahhh a new order is such an eerie setting, it gives me chills when i play the mod i love it even if it is a bit more guided
Guided how?
@@Soul_Tomato like playing as certain nations feels more like you only have a few paths and it more or less ends up similar like Russia i think but i think it excels at storytelling and making you feel like your part of the dark world and that's what i love about it
Wish I could create something mind-blowing like this... And get it to be narrated by an awesome person like you.
There’s always time 🙂
From the first minutes I was like "this is just like the LOTR lore overview I watched a year ago"
Would be curious to see the video you mean
Comment for the algorithm and to give kudos to an excellent and interesting vid topic, enjoying my lunch break with this vid, thanks tomato
You’re welcome! Hope you like it
I hope this is leading to a playthrough
It is indeed! Coming January 5th ;)
You should do more Mod Showcases. Seems to do well for your channel.

I plan to!
Oh my, that's perfect! I wanted to dive into this mod, but wanted to understand the role first, thank you!
no problem, enjoy!
AtE is my usually favourite mod but I’ll check this out
They are both my favorite
13:42
"Blood Senate" is such a metal term. Glob, I love it.
Its very metal
instead of working on finals I watched this. Worth it imo
Def worth. Haven’t done finals in a while but I recall they’re mid
Somewhat I think the creator imagined "What If the Roman Empire existed in the Fear and hunger world?"
Could always ask them! They’re quite open to answering questions.
I was going through mods last night and this was one of the only ones I didn't know that made me stop. But it felt like too much lore to learn since I already have saves in AGOT, Kings, LoTR, and use the AEP in my vanilla games. But this video was perfect, I'm going to go download and jump in. Cheers!
This story would fit right in as some insane anime series.
Def feels that way. Or like a castlevania style animation.
Wonderful video as always. though all this did was wet my appetite >:3 I await more if you so choose to make more! :D
I plan to do more with help from the devs in the coming year
Ngl I had no idea this mod even existed before this video but you’ve convinced me to not only delve into the lore but also download it immediately
You have done exactly as I intended 😎
I fucking love this mod so much, best ck3 out there rn.
Godherja is the reason I finally upgraded my computer as my old Mac could run Ck3 but with Godherja was just to much. Now I had been looking for an upgrade but Godherja was the real reason, I just wanted to play the damn mod!
I wish you luck!
Last time I play this mod the fog is unbeatable.
That is more or less by design but eventually there will be ways (difficult ones) in the 1298 IS start (end of canon) to push it back.
Someone should really pick this up and make a movie or TV series about it. Seems like Godherja has even surpassed After The End as the CK mod with most in depth lore.
It's a great setting but I think it has significantly more than AtE. AtE is way more prone to head canon. Godherja simply answers almost everything you can possibly ask lol.

There aren’t any yet but that doesn’t mean there never will be :)
@@Soul_Tomato We could be the first wittiness of something’s big here.
Unfortunately, I have to say that interest you stoked in me died when I scoured the map, and discovered the god-dang Dutch are on Aeras too
You cannot escape them.
This Jay guy really loves his fucked worlds and Black suns 💀
Sounds very fun, I'll probably play it later
Please do!
I love how the main assumption of this setting is "99% of characters are not just assholes, but cartoon villains, and everything is evil"
The Aversarians were heavily inspired by the Union nobility from the First Law trilogy and Valyrians from ASOIAF from what I understand. So not a bad read really.

Happens with any major lore. Look Elden Ring, hell, at history even. People love naming things similarly. But thank you!

He is a very nice boy
Thank you for enlightening me to this mods existence, this is sick as shit.
Have fun!
Great video, love seeing little known mods like this with absurd amounts of time and care dedicated to them!!
Glad to help. Hope you check it out if you haven’t already!
It's not necessarily "little known".... it's on the first (or second?) page of most subscribed CK3 mods...
CK3 modding do be hitting harder than I had expected
Literally insane tbh. The amount of great overhaul mods is frankly absurd
Love Godherja. Been playing it on and off for around teo years now.
Almost read that was 10 and assumed you were from the future.
Can't watch this right now, definitely saving to my watch later tho
Happy to hear!
Best CK3 mod out there
It’s got my favorite team behind it for sure.
I’d totally read a book series set in this world!
Same
I'd love to play a D&D campaign set in this world.
Oh my god this would make a perfect table top setting. Honestly not a bad move for licensing it out and making some mula for the team.
So i started a save before knowing any lore, picked an aversarian start in the islands, when i saw cenware hordes getting closer and closer and conquering everyone, i went full intrigue and murdered him, exploding his empire into many smaller realms. Unknowingly i follow the cruel route, making my aversarian ancestors proud. The decades that followed were of growth and consolidation, the empire of the pure is closer and closer to being reborn.
Holy moly, im totally gonna play a lichking on an impossible mission to save the world from the unstoppable fog!
Best of luck!
Did they updated it? Last time I play, i cant play as lich(have the lich trait)
@@irfaalwan3590 that is still INW
I need books on this, the lore is so good
Honestly there’s probably enough of it
Just started getting into the mod didnt know about the lore primer i should read that
Highly recommend. Worth the time for sure.
Mods so in depth, you need a docuseries to know who the hell is declaring war on you and why.
Basically haha
What I really appreciate is that they changed the map enough for the allusions to earth history to remain as just allusions rather than straight up copying the real world the way some fictional settings end up doing.
Yeah it feels like it deviates enough without feeling outside the realm of possibility
Just letting you know in case the feedback is useful. I would ABSOLUTELY watch more lore videos on Godherja
Hahaha I have a script already in draft for the next one don’t worru
When i first downloaded this mod i thought to myself: "you know its gonna be good when the Lore document starts at _the beginning of time_ "
Hahah my thoughts exactly
So happy to see these videos
Happy to have you!
I love this mod but never understood the lore. Thank you for making this!
Happy to help
This was really awesome. I just want to say I wish "Lore Creators" would add more mystery into there Lore. When you have all the business with Gods and creation. If you just put down some ancient ruins with insane technology, but zero idea what became of them, it adds a lot more depth, and it's fun to speculate. I don't maybe it's just me.
They care more about stroking their egos at lore development than they do about playability.
Not really? It plays fine
Keep up the great work!
I’ll do my best!
Am i only one to whom the creation lore gives a lot of Gnosticism vibes?
I could see that
I would love videos going over specific character lore and decisions they can make in game. One of my favorite characters and campaigns is Cois so I would love to see a video on him or any other interesting character. An example of going over in game decisions could be the major one where he beats cenware, where he becomes his subject, or beats him infuriating cenware and then loses and gets killed. That quicker because he dies. I don’t know if these would even be videos you’d want to make, but I’d be interested in them.
It’s not a bad idea at all! I’ll add it to my pile haha.
Ugh, now i want a book series. Well done on the vid. I will say my only complaint is that as someone who uses headphones, your voices volume fluctuates often in the vid. I suspect this is only really noticeable for someone like me using noise cancelling headphones of a pretty decent quality. Thanks for the overview.
Thank you. Yeah I plan on investing in a new mic sometime this year. I had like 2k subs when I made this. I never expected it to blow up like it did.
Definitely gotta jump on the Eosian Crusaders! Just did Rene and MY GODherja that was tough
Rene is easy in comparison too haha
Love the video. Glad I found the channel
Thank you! Glad you liked it! Expect to see more godherja stuff in the new year. I have more lore collaborations planned.
Subbed…! There is to little godherja content out there!!
Well look forward to more of it right here very soon (Friday in fact).
