- Residing in the magical forest of Athel Loren are the mystical Forest Spirits, creatures of bough and branch that have existed for millennia. Yet among their kind none are as old or powerful as Durthu, Eldest of the Ancients.
Here we shall examine his lore in full detail. Hope you all enjoy.

Durthu is not mad at the elves, he's just dissapointed.
Low Quality Gamer ya I think that summarizes him best, not hateful, but severely disappointed at their constant fuck ups. Hince why he has never actually turned against them despite being the person who should rightfully hate them most of all chaos curroption or not
My grama used to tell me that. Damn, does it cut deep.
Durthu,the personification of "get off my lawn you damn kids"
But he has a legit reason to say that.
He is like a Treebeard who lost himself in the horrors and reality of war. He leads the 'Last March of the Ents' that never ends. Awesome and yet tragic.
Totally, and Ariel is "Totally not" Galadriel
Love that Easter egg in her skill tree "All shall love me, and despair".
@@cheesus7672 no because Alarielle is Galadriel
RIP big tree man :(
Lord Wench you can feel his sadness at the end
Durthu made a promise to protect the elves. In spite of their constant misguidance and hubris he would not seek to harm or cast them out. Maddening were his efforts. He must have felt so alone 😭😭
When you were talking about the end times of durthu, it literally sounded like you were crying...
Innit?
He was yawning a lot, think he was just tired.
@@themostoppressedgamer7146 he was talking for an hour straight.
Watches Durthu mainly attack with his unarmed hand: Durthu, Birch Slapper of Evil
I'll see myself out
Wow, End Times Durthu was badass. But seems to have gotten shafted by the writers in some ways. That ending though... that was actually not bad.
I have heard so much lore since becoming a WHF fan. Durthu is hands down my favorite. The end times killed off so many characters and he was the only one whose death I truly lamented. However, I also understand he was the only one who truly HAD to die. Kinda hard to have chaos win when you have a tree God reducing demons to fertilizer.
My hat is off to you sir for your fantastic videos. You have a well earned subscription from me.
You sound at the verge of tears the entire way through
Nice that Witcher 3 and Skyrim music are in background. :)
I will start a Durthu campaign tonight, my first Wood Elves campaign (besides Drycha which I didn't finish)
The thing I love about Warhammer Total War is the potential to have these massive fights you never otherwise got.
Grimgor and Ungrim Ironfist
Durthu and Kholek
And pretty much any other generated match up.
One thing I love is that by all accounts Durthu and Wood Elven forces are is the campaign so amazing against undead, no ranged forces and reliance of heavy magic to try and nuke down the elven forces are the only shot, besides that I've taken two undead Mousillion armies with a single army lead by Durthu. 1.5k plus undead casualties, just over 200 elven/treemen casualties
Dasacht095 yeah but think the tactic of the vampires is mass over quality cause u can spam zombies so easily
Durthu is so epic... He goes out like a real hero, slayers would be proud of him...
He is amazing, but sadly because of end time shit...
he simply killed himslef for nothing because all the enormous sacrifices all the hero made is just fkall sad end time
Don't worry. Gotrek Gurnisson was so epic that GW had to keep him alive as Grimnir's replacement
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees
Not entirely for nothing, through his actions, the Realms of Age of Sigmar were born, Alarielle has the power to stand against Chaos, and the mortal races now have a fighting chance on a mostly even playing field, and he is remembered through his descendants in those realms, the aptly named Spirits of Durthu, who claim a direct lineage to the mighty defender himself. And now that that setting is actually good, it's worth the fight. Not that this makes the End Times any less poorly executed, though.
@@kappakiev9672 Setra does not serve, Setra rules!
That end time bit, I'm not crying, you are ;___;
Really nice audio dude, i love listening to your lore videos while playing paradox games. Thank u!!!
Durthu was a Selfless being regardless of his anger.. wish humans were like that RIP
nature and nurture man.
Ahh... that skyrim music makes me smile..
come back sotek, we miss you bro and we will always support you, don't let WH lore die..I know its time consuming but don't give up on these!
Really enjoyed this one, thanks for including the end time lore!
remember durthu
Brilliant as ever! You're the best lore guy out there by far.
Wow the effort put into this O_O, really didn't expect this.
Good job.
Never thought i would cry for a tree man.
As usual, a great pleasure is to listen to your videos
Very well made video. Thank you for this
Great video about one of my favorite warhammer individuals! you just got yourself a new sub! keep doing the awesome work!
Durthu was my favorite and still is my favorite character if the Warhammer fantasy
Great reading ! Thank you for sharing !
Love your videos. It's criminal how few followers you have.
Aaaaaaaaand I'm starting my first Durthu campaign, What a beast!
You friggen made me cry during that end times segment! Oof.. Manly tears.
This is Fing sad I got choked up at the end. Good job man
Amazing! I had no idea about warhammer lore until I watched your videos please make more!
MrJack Young in case your interested the inept general also does very good lore videos
Duuuuuurrrrrthuuuuuu
good video man keep up the good work
A very good and interesting roundup about Durthu.
When will you bring something about High Elves?
Nice to know that Alarielle managed to purify him in the End Times,but if she could've managed to purify his fellow Elder as well,that would've made a epic battle,the two of then fighting together in the Last battle.
Pity that no-one managed to purify him before than though. Also did Grimgor Ironhide and Durthu ever bump heads,so to speak,as he's always looking for a good fight,abd I feel than Durthu could've given him one,if he ever invaded Athel Loren?
thoroughly enjoyign these character lore videos music with it is fantastic, awesome listening in the backround with TW2 >:D
Only a little bit into it, and I've already got mad respect for Durthu for deciding not to trust his own judgement as soon as he realised he had some bitterness affecting his perceptions. I get the feeling this is gonna be a Drycha situation and he'll slowly become more and more corrupted until one day he can no longer override that hate with reason.
I love the skyrim music used here. Perfect nature tune for the ent
God the Video is really good but the Skyrim music started making me emotionally nostalgic hahaha
Epic video. Both in terms of scale and content
So epic. He's like Optimus prime in a way
I mean, Optimus is a few million years old, too.
Sword
Optimus Pine*
It's like... the 5th video of yours where you're yawning near the end.
I didnt know I could be made to feel sorry for a plant
*anytime Durthu throws anything * "does a ton of damage"
This is some good content
Does Durthu come back as a dancing baby tree?
lol
No he’s reborn as an eternally cranky acorn
As far as I know he came back as a group of badass murdertrees.
Someone should really make movies about this stuff, durthu is epic, just saying the story of Lord of the Rings would be like a Monday in the Warhammer world.
What an awesome and sad tale
Story continues in aos with the Sons of Durthu. They are an order of tree lords that are the ever queens body guard but got banished for some unknown crime and are only now coming back to redeem thenselfs. There is alittle more then that but sadly i dont have the book with me. Another great video sotek cheers
AoS is trash compared to OG Fantasy
@@LudwigVaanArthans 4 years ago, nice and no its not even sotek doesn't think that anymore. Its not for everyone but dont be a child
that elder scrolls soundtrack i hear??
Sounds like elder scrolls though.. Haha
most is skyrim , some is witcher
Within the first three minutes, there was a lot of skyrim going on
28:10 “alas their intervention came too late”
*Is literally turned into pincushion by Eleven Arrows*
Damn, Durthu is a fucking badass
Great video, is it possible to do lore on Gotrek and Felix? :)
skyrim soundtrack on a warhammer video. MAJESTIC
Witcher as well.
When are you going to Nagash? Also, have you done Kemmler and Krell yet? Oh and Magnus The Pious. Him and Nagash are big ones and I would love to see those. Especially as it covers a lot of the history.
You should team up with Morgan treeman to make a documentary about Durthu.
Its a tree pun not an actual person lol.
It was a pun Sotek XD You know, Morgan Freeman, but it's Morgan TREEman.
This is the best youtube comment chain ever.
ja lmfao cant believe i missed that
lol and if he were a beastmen would he be worgen fleamen
Enjoyed it immensely and a big fan of treemen
45:30 I love how you did't cut it but just went on narrating 😅
Love the SKYRIM music ...the nostalgia
Skyrim music with Warhammer lore is surprisingly good.
Can you do snarsnik?
What song is playing around the 21:00 minute mark?
Awesome vid man!!! Would you be able to do Archaon?
Loremaster_of_Sotek Awesome!!!! I loved the lord of chaos books and it would be great to see his lore done in your format!
i really like how you say doorthu
Kemmler soon? Arch Warhammer covered him, but he doesn't go as in-depth as yourself, which I love. I assume you're waiting for news on Krell so you can do them together?
yeah also hes a nazi so thats sort of annoying
him and settra are both so grand
Ay what's the song at 3:20? I swear I used to have it downloaded somewhere
Total newbie going into TWW2, got into a squabble with the wood elves and the whole time I'm like "damn, just DIE already!" to this huge ass tree dude, and now I know why--so thanks! that was a great vid! loved hearing the lore, and it was a good story there at the end :)
Well time for a durthur campaign lol
Will you do a Thanquol and Boneripper video sometime? Or Gotrek and Felix?
yes-yes... the Thanquol-fan in me is pleased... and knowing that a Gotrek anf Felix will come sometime is better than only having to hope that one might come :D
btw...howabout doing aGrombrindal/Snorri Whitebeard lorevideo?
Why r u using witcher music? Or is it onley in gwent (before homecoming)?
Nvm, you also used whispers of oxenfurt
Would you mind doing a Lord Kroak video?
Can you do kemler next please, or Archaon?
Loremaster_of_Sotek Cheers Sotek
I like the Skyrim music
I'm kind of surprised how not-screwed-up Durthu's end times story was. Sounded even good. Not kind of "WTF is wrong with you GW???"
27:20 wow
that is...
Please do something on the end tine
Durthu's story is a good example of how not EVERYTHING in the Endtimes is bad. Just most things.
another example is the seige of karaz a karak, does the last stand of the dwarves justice
Cabbadath B Idk, i think the writers wrote themselves into a corner and decided: We need to kill him off somehow... But he can kill greater deamons... I KNOW! Make him
sacrifice himself!
They cucked him.
And then they brought him back in Age of Sigmar lol.....
you should do remakes of the LL using TW:W like this one, this is great
can you do kroq-gar next i have not see anything about him
@@loremasterofsotek Two years later, no kroq-gar
more character lore plz
Durthu could you get the door for me? I think it is one of those chaos missionaries again. *Bloood For the blood g......* *Slice* *Dice* Thank-you Durthu! Utter silence on the whole field of battle.
kinda how I wanted to see Treebeard in the movies. Epic storytelling tho
Take a shot whenever he says basically
Master I have reason to believe Durthu is a sith lord.
Did the old ones make these tree man or were they just came to be?
Basically Durthu is like Optimus prime.
Do a Orion one
poor Durthu
Durthu saves
Skyrim background theme song
whats the music at 9:00 ?
I think it is some battle music from Witcher 3
@@darkmoollll7703 thanks man
Ahem... WWHHHYYY MMMEEEEEE?! *Wail of Lamentation*
Is this the sexy elder scrolls music i hear
Poor guy was a very kind forest spirit and then everyone started to shit on the world so he decided to kill everyone for fucking shit up
When will we see Vlad von Carstein
poor tree man
When all the comments i Can read is corrections ill do the same
They are many tree man older and wiser than durthu, he’s not THE treeman but he’s a unique one and a fan favorite
