Dude I know this is an older video but I watched it while playing my everqueen mortal empire campaign and it was awesome to hear it all while I was playing. Thank you for making my experience better :)
Listened all the high elf content you have made before starting my first Ulthuan campaign (probably ME with Tyrion). You are enjoyable to listen and you have picked interesting narratives for your videos. Dropped a like and a sub. Thanks!
I was just playing TWW2 as Tyrion, and he always talked about Alarielle, so I was like "ok, they're banging". Hearing this lore now is like a fanfiction gone canon. Love your videos, you should get more likes! It's clear you put a lot of work into them.
Except Alarielle is supposed to be Phoenix King’s wife, at least until she gets her first born. Tyrion had a child with her and keep it hidden, which Teclis found out after chewing out Tyrion for nearly starting War of the Beard again over an argument over Alarielle’s daughter being kidnapped.
Arch uses a lot of wiki rather than book sources at best, it is rare but when he does the real research its for something he likes. Plus there's too much salty narcissistic personality going on in all of his videos and its awful to listen to because he is always speaking like its all awful and bad... Until there's something he really likes then he highlights to the extreme. I don't like Arch for what he has become of late, Inept here is getting in right and takes critique with a leveled head rather than jumping into a fight, he knows he makes mistake and i like how he goes forward in regards to solve it. Not pointing on people taking sides, just mentioning why i dislike Arch and why he is not in the same league as Inept.
Yeah... but Arch just makes stuff up constantly. Like beyond the point of just embellishing where lore is scant, even saying "Maybe this means" or "I think that this means" he just comes up with a couple paragraphs based on almost nothing and makes no distinction that it's his nonsense being spun not any sort of canonical lore. Even so that might not be so bad if he just wasn't SO. BLOODY. HYPERBOLIC. He's trying very hard to be funny with his exaggerations but they get exhausting when they last forever. If Arch could stop smelling his own farts because of his initial success, I'd be more ok with him, but I can hardly stomach watching his lore videos. I will watch them but they are bottom of the stack when it comes to what people I've subscribed to have recently uploaded.
I used to like italian the best but then he started adding completely unfunny jokes and popculture references to his videos and they're just so cringey.
I dunno, I've Googled some of the more interesting passages Inept has gone over to find more info, and I've found Wiki passages that were almost word for word what I just heard, just he adds some character flavor to make it into a story. Not knocking him at all, I love this channel, let's just be a bit honest here
I really didn't expect to like this at the beginning, having found it looking for broader lore as I started a High Elf campaign. But I got distracted by something and didn't change videos just absorbing the first 20 minutes in the background before I suddenly realized I'd stopped playing and was just listening to your storytelling.
Man this might be one of my fav small scale storiea in Warhammer fantasy, Teclis….man this dude banishing the FUCK out of N’kari was COOL as SHIT lol. I always thought the high elves were just a pompous op race without much struggle, boy was I wrong lol
Thank you so much for all this amazing content, you truly made me a Warhammer fan and got me into buying TWW which I don't regret at all. Was reluctant to buy the new Lord pack because Alith Anar will be free, but after watching both of their lore videos I have to say that CA should really be supporting you ;)
I was spellbound when you talked about the fight with the coldones! You should make a video where you read the novels, i would love to here that! Nice work man.
Highlights for this forthcoming DLC? :D Can't wait for another DLC pack for warhammer, some Dark Elf and High Elf love is needed. The Vermin and Liz'boys are going to have their fair share in time but they got so much more flavor than the two Elf factions thus far.
Best part: 42:06 ... ^^ though 1:04:17 is kinda amazing too ^^ Really great vid. Very passionate, fun, informative and while I already wanted Alarielle before, now I NEED her as an LL in the game...damn, she is a badass ... in fact all three of the dynamic trio are bad asses without equal. Sorry Dark Elves, Empire, all other factions: High Elves - FUCK YEAH! I wasn't even the biggest fan of Tyrion before, but the vid kinda swayed me for him, and even his brother - now I really want all three of them at the same time leading the armies of Ulthuan, destroy the Dark Elves and save the world from Chaos and Archaon the Everpussy...it'll be T. A. T. - DYNAMITE! And on the issue if it will be Alarielle or Alith Anar ... well, I feel a bit of a foot fetish with CA ... and I really think after Morgianna and Morathi Alarielle will complete the barefoot trinity ^^
Where bloody are you?! I from Altdorf Tavern, to Drakwald Forest talked to the brayshaman, to Nehekhara, to Kislev, to Grand Cathay, even I went to Chaos Waste talk to Chaos God.
A small question. The Everqueen is the Avatar of Isha, but Ariel, the queen of the Wood Elves is also an avatar of Isha. How does that work? How there are two Avatars of the same deity?
Good question and one Games Workshop has never really given a proper answer to as far as I'm aware. Best way I've seen it put is that Isha splits her power over both and although the Everqueen has been around longer Ariel it has been argued been granted more of the power as she is Immortal unlike the Everqueens. That however raises a whole other kettle of fish over whether the Goddess cares more about Wood Elves or High Elves. Sorry no real good answer on this one.
why did this bring me to tears at around 1:00:00 also at 1:04:00 thats exactly why he did it lol to bring hope :D(forcibly) also i mean teclis had just recently pretty much trashed a greater demon....(with ease)
Great job as usual, but I was wondering where do you get all these information from? Some of these storybits seems very specific and I cant find anything like it on the wiki. If someone would let me know as I m very keen on lore ^_^
I don't say this lightly. I have never been interested in HE at all!!! They always seemed like panzies at first glance. I was wrong. This was the best lore telling that I have ever heard for Warhammer. Very thorough and really nice/exciting story telling! I am unbelievably interested in playing HE and learning their lore know. They actually in alot of ways are more badass than DE which is surprising... Subscribed. BTW If you do some video editing along with this type of story/lore telling. I think you'd actually become the #1 warhammer lore channel EASY
That depends on your own personal believes Alarielle is the high priestess of Isha and has all the magic of Ulthuan at her fingertips meanwhile Ariel is the Avatar of Isha meaning she is Isha or has the power of Isha within her at anyrate
ok wait soo your telling me that if you are born as an EverQueen you'r already arranged to married the Phoenix King??.....marrying some one you have no idea of?? some one you don't even know you love or not?? have no feeling's to?? you don't even know how long he's foot size is ; ) . and the only purpose is just so some Phoenix King can get laid with the hottest girl in all the lands?? MAN ELF LIFE SUCKS !!
You said in near the ending part that that Alarielle was kind of sociale forced to make a child with the phenix king, but i tought that Tyrion was the phenix king?
Afraid not Tyrion is just a good warrior/general/guardian of the Everqueen who is a descendant of the 1st Phoenix King but not the Phoenix King Himself. The Phoenix King at the time of Total War Warhammer is called Finubar.
Rick Priestly (the setting's creator, though not IP holder) liked not to alienate anyone, and the theme of Warhammer Fantasy can be best summed up as "hope springs eternal". There are as many anti-Chaos prophecies as there are races, and it has been heavily implied in Priestly's work that a more permanent solution to the Chaos gate will have to be found (at great cost, given the setting lol) than defense every few thousand years. "End Times" was a retconned "new canon", sort of like the Star Wars sequels, and written by entirely new writers who displaced Rick Priestly and his original writers. They retconned huge swaths of the lore/added ridiculous contrivances to it, humiliated and killed beloved characters, pulled Diabolus ex Machina out of their rear ends, and "canonized" an absurdly one-sided Chaos victory so that they could launch Age of Spacemarines. It's awful. Storm of Chaos will always be the true timeline, even if it is only half-finished.
Dude I know this is an older video but I watched it while playing my everqueen mortal empire campaign and it was awesome to hear it all while I was playing. Thank you for making my experience better :)
I second this. Im a new player figuring out who I want to make my main.
literally did the same thing
Haha I'm doing the same :)
how tyrion and allariele met is basically how every royal chick falls in love. i like it.
These 90s anime images are actually kinda cool, not gonna lie.
Listened all the high elf content you have made before starting my first Ulthuan campaign (probably ME with Tyrion). You are enjoyable to listen and you have picked interesting narratives for your videos. Dropped a like and a sub. Thanks!
lore for the lore god!
Jon Blankenship BOOKS FOR THE BOOK THRONE!
your lore videos are so good please continue to do these as much as you can. Thank you for your awesome work
4 years later and this treasure of a series is a relatively hidden gem, Ty for the great content man. Yours are some of the best lore vids around
I was just playing TWW2 as Tyrion, and he always talked about Alarielle, so I was like "ok, they're banging". Hearing this lore now is like a fanfiction gone canon. Love your videos, you should get more likes! It's clear you put a lot of work into them.
Who wouldn't love Alarielle? She is so cute.
Except Alarielle is supposed to be Phoenix King’s wife, at least until she gets her first born.
Tyrion had a child with her and keep it hidden, which Teclis found out after chewing out Tyrion for nearly starting War of the Beard again over an argument over Alarielle’s daughter being kidnapped.
My girlfriend has been listening while I've had this on doing my work and she said there are so many disney references with all the women in total war
Great lore video just invaded Ulthuan as the empire and enjoyed listening to this :D
"What a beautiful culture used to exist here"
@@scoutobrien3406”Ah, look at this regal and majestic elven city.” *Proceeds to bombard it with cannons and hellstrom rocket batteries.*
Great stuff! Love learning about the origins of these characters, especially as they're all now certified deities in AoS
Lol I'm sorry but every time you say "cold one" I think of a Dark elf riding a magic floating beer can. 😆
Well, the perfect time to enjoy some lore. BTW you do great stuff. You and Arch are the only ones who tell in your own words.
Arch uses a lot of wiki rather than book sources at best, it is rare but when he does the real research its for something he likes.
Plus there's too much salty narcissistic personality going on in all of his videos and its awful to listen to because he is always speaking like its all awful and bad... Until there's something he really likes then he highlights to the extreme.

Arch and Inept are both great. I also enjoy Italianspartacus and Jumbo Thick. It's cool how lore channels seem to be picking up these days.
I used to like italian the best but then he started adding completely unfunny jokes and popculture references to his videos and they're just so cringey.
I dunno, I've Googled some of the more interesting passages Inept has gone over to find more info, and I've found Wiki passages that were almost word for word what I just heard, just he adds some character flavor to make it into a story.

Ok these work, listening to this and i've like capped 10 provinces by turn 40 as Eltharion
i enjoyed this so much, if I could like it 10 times I would. thank you so much

rest in peace durthu
16:49 I don't even wanna know what they used to gag her, knowing the Dark Elves are some kinky people, it's probably not cloth or rope.
Probably some shelled creature with a tentacle to grab her tongue or go down her throat or something fuckin' weird like that.
Best lore videos right here.
Awesome video, thank you for taking the time to make it
We want more, We want more, We want more
Man this might be one of my fav small scale storiea in Warhammer fantasy, Teclis….man this dude banishing the FUCK out of N’kari was COOL as SHIT lol. I always thought the high elves were just a pompous op race without much struggle, boy was I wrong lol
1:17:44 how cool to see loved ones come back and form a line or back to back with you

Describing Alarielle as the atypical sad little rich girl actually made me laugh.
As i wake up in pain and work on my dissertation at 4am this was ideal. Thank you general
This is like an anime about which one is the bigger mary sue
Highlights for this forthcoming DLC? :D

Barefeet for the barefoot god!
Estrielle is her mothers name
Great narrating!
We simp for the Everqueen.
Still here
Are all elves in warhammer so well written?
Team Alarielle will stay in the camp drinking hot coco
Who the fuck dislikes videos like that . There is so much work in it. Keep doing your great work.
I'd bow to this queen
Alarielle the Everwaifu.
Wouldn't the horn and banner go into the arcane items and so forth? Some existing ones do have army effects, IIRC.
Where bloody are you?! I from Altdorf Tavern, to Drakwald Forest talked to the brayshaman, to Nehekhara, to Kislev, to Grand Cathay, even I went to Chaos Waste talk to Chaos God.
I know Im a bit late to the party but can anyone tell me if there is a novel detailing the events in this video?
A small question. The Everqueen is the Avatar of Isha, but Ariel, the queen of the Wood Elves is also an avatar of Isha. How does that work? How there are two Avatars of the same deity?

You're amazing you're amazing!!!!!
The battle scene at min 49. I think there is a lore error here because I was under the impression that Malekith does not tolerate male sorcerers.
Coldstar 105 a doomfire warlock maybe?
Rather 90s anime looking pic there. Alarielle looking rather like Belldandy there.
She looks like Zelda meets Polly Pocket.
why did this bring me to tears at around 1:00:00 also at 1:04:00 thats exactly why he did it lol to bring hope :D(forcibly) also i mean teclis had just recently pretty much trashed a greater demon....(with ease)
At 8:06 was anyone else thinking of a bunch of elves blowing phat clouds?
Great job as usual, but I was wondering where do you get all these information from? Some of these storybits seems very specific and I cant find anything like it on the wiki. If someone would let me know as I m very keen on lore ^_^
Sword of Caledor is a Warhammer Fantasy book. This video is basically its plot.
I don't say this lightly. I have never been interested in HE at all!!! They always seemed like panzies at first glance. I was wrong.
This was the best lore telling that I have ever heard for Warhammer. Very thorough and really nice/exciting story telling! I am unbelievably interested in playing HE and learning their lore know.
They actually in alot of ways are more badass than DE which is surprising...
Subscribed.
BTW
If you do some video editing along with this type of story/lore telling. I think you'd actually become the #1 warhammer lore channel EASY
You know, Tyrion wasnt too bad of a character back in the day.
Then the fucking end times came
And make him look like a idiot berserker clown in the end time god end time ruin everything
The anime art realy dose it for me
Teclis is now 1000 times cooler because of this tale
lmao the stink eye
what book is this lore from?
Mostly from the Tyrion and Teclis trilogy by William King, which you should read 'cause it's awesome!
where did he even get like the anime elves photos man
Whats the difference between Allariel the everqueen and Ariel the queen of the Woods arent they both the aspect of Isha how is this possible?
This is why they merged in the endtimes
What book is this story in? Is it in the Tyrion and Teclas omnibus
So... the four druchii represent the chaos gods, right?
Great video
She is an amazing character, but I prefer Galadriel
tirion, the hot piece on the side :D
Tyrion not the guy from wow
Bretonnia thing? What?
Haha I think he meant "Britannia" As in the "Kingdoms of Britannia" which is coming out soon.
What book/novel did this lore come from?
sword of caledor I think.
More like the Ever-Waifu!!!!!
***TYRION WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION***
I wonder who is stronger though, her or Ariel?
That depends on your own personal believes Alarielle is the high priestess of Isha and has all the magic of Ulthuan at her fingertips meanwhile Ariel is the Avatar of Isha meaning she is Isha or has the power of Isha within her at anyrate
So Ariel and Alarielle have similar power sources but I personally believe that Ariel is more powerful than Alarielle
One is a priestess and incredibly powerful but is ultimately just an Elf meanwhile Ariel is a literal demigoddess
BAH! What is this Elgi romance krud?! Tell me the tragic saga of Kallad Stormwarden ANYDAY!
Gorvar The Dinoman Was
Yeah, the tone of the story feels more WarCraft-esque than Warhammer-esque.
very jrpg style romance
The White Magician Girl is always the love interest in those games.
Western RPGs for life btw.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 both wrpgs and jrpgs are derivative as fuck. planescape torment is one of the best games ever made though
54:00
I now want..... a shrubbery!
A shrubbery!?
Of the many blaspheming Elves, at least this woman is a respectable member and one who I have no shame in calling, Asur.
Weeb
Teclis is up there on the list of awesome with her too
WooHoo! Another lore vid to use as my bedtime story :)
Male dark elf mage? Well he's fucked anyways no matter what
ok wait soo your telling me that if you are born as an EverQueen you'r already arranged to married the Phoenix King??.....marrying some one you have no idea of?? some one you don't even know you love or not?? have no feeling's to?? you don't even know how long he's foot size is ; ) . and the only purpose is just so some Phoenix King can get laid with the hottest girl in all the lands?? MAN ELF LIFE SUCKS !!
Love your videos, but how come you don't ever go into the lore of characters during the end times?
Didn't know Workshop employed Japanese light novel authors...
Weeb
super
You said in near the ending part that that Alarielle was kind of sociale forced to make a child with the phenix king, but i tought that Tyrion was the phenix king?
Afraid not Tyrion is just a good warrior/general/guardian of the Everqueen who is a descendant of the 1st Phoenix King but not the Phoenix King Himself. The Phoenix King at the time of Total War Warhammer is called Finubar.
literal ethnic cleanser of Ulthuan. how did CA get away this this?
was ever a human that had sex with high elf?
The Lore is stupid - End times.
Accept archeon your god pleb

You wanted a reaction. Here it us, 3 years later
