@@dwim6423 yeah I checked right after I commented. By any chance do you know the name of there main theme song. Not the one at the end but the one you can sometimes find on some of there videos. Also plays on twitch at the start.
paraphrased: "Badland is so full of Orcs, they could overrun the Old World" "Dark Lands is so full of Orcs, they could overrun the Badlands" I chuckled. Dont look below though. They could overrun both locations :D
Further perspective: The Chaos Dwarfs reside right in the middle of the Dark Lands, with one big capital and a few outposts in comparison to their nicer cousins. It's quite likely they have a lower population that Dwarfs, though the latter are spread out much more. Still, it's not Chaos Dwarfs that we're constantly told are in irreversible decline and just about wiped out for good, even while most of the Greenskin threat for the Dwarfs is spread out enough to often be troubling anyone else as much or more. Whatever the Chaos Dwarfs are doing, it's working. Maybe they are the one thing that Greenskins truly fear, that'd make some sense and at least isn't the level of plot armour of most other evil factions. Like that lot below...
*FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS I LAY DORMANT, WHO HAS DISTURBED MY-* Oh it's The Templin Institute and they have returned with a new video about The World-That-Was. Glorious.
One of the best fantasy worlds i have ever immersed myself in, and it all started when i saw some cool models in a bookshops tabletop shelf. I can’t wait to see immortal empires at its fullest
This is a beautiful video on the world of Warhammer itself, showcasing and outlining all of the nations, kingdoms and domains which exists across it. And the closing statements will forever hold true, from the day The End Times annihilated the original Warhammer to the release of Immortal Empires coming soon. So let us enjoy this world once more, whatever troubles lie ahead in the coming years. Let us discover more of the Known World and its hidden kingdoms. And let these fantasies come to life once more, until the end of days.
I wonder how long it'll be before we start seeing Age of Sigmar games? While I reckon it'd be prudent to have the Known World continue as a setting, the Mortal Realms are still a thing, even though blowing up the Old World to replace it with something new is the same kind of problem that the original Might & Magic canon ran into.
@@samuelrodriguez9801 Long, long ago, back in the New World Computing/3DO days. The Heroes Chronicles series, which were basically expandalones for HoMM 3, ended with a clash between two heroes wielding really powerful swords; one with the Sword of Frost, the other with Armageddon's Blade. The two blades clashed and basically caused Armageddon, rendering Enroth uninhabitable. The survivors were able to travel to a new world, Axeoth, which is where HoMM 4 takes place. While it wasn't as radical a shift as going from the high dark fantasy of the Old World to the interdimensional space-opera of the Mortal Realms, it was still an unwelcome change Though truth be told, the death of Enroth in favour of some other world was the least of Might & Magic's troubles. 3DO was on the way out, HoMM 4's development was kinda troubled, and while Ubisoft ended up doing stuff with the franchise for a while, now the IP languishes in their nefarious clutches. We can only hope that Ubisoft pulls a Squenix and sells off the Might & Magic IP for crypto money.
Indeed anonymous mind... Indeed. I personally don't have to suffer the end times because I subscribe to the "age of reckoning" timeline, in which the EMPIRE, Bretonnia, kislev, karaz-ankor, ulthuan and athel-loren bury the hatchet thanks to the brains of Karl Franz, Thorgrim Grudgebearer, and Finubar not suffering from massive brain dinosaurs, and they all team up to save the world from Archeon. "Age of reckoning" is like the primaris update to 40k, with the world teetering on the edge, but not dead, and with REAL hope of saving the world, without adding "ground marines" or something like that to fantasy battles. (Mind you this is all my silly opinions, and I DO actually KINDA like Aos, but it will never compare to fantasy, nor do I care for the fact that gw KILLED the old world to make aos. I personally choose to see it as an alternative time-line, whereas I choose my main direction as "Age of Reckoning". Thats all. :)
It'll disappoint. Like TW generally does at release. I'll wait until the DLC is all out. Only just now bought Warhammer 2 haha. I've played 3 on Game Pass though and it's all right. I been stuck on Empire Total War mod Imperial Splendor. It's solid
@@Medic99z Yeah, I mean that was a disaster. But I'm talking even the "good" releases aren't all that good, in my opinion. Generally are lacking mechanics/features from the previous entry that they're going to resell you again along with the content they want to resell you, again. I really feel like little has changed in the series for 10+ years.
Considering Nippon's old lore, it would be like a Total War Shogun 2 faction - but with Shaolin Monks and some tame Chaos or Chaos-adjacent stuff. The old lore named two deities - Orange Simca (which seems to be inspired by Inari) and Tzeentch, so perhaps they would have a system similar to Cathay's Ying-Yang dynamic, but instead will be balancing Order (Simca) and Chaos (Tzeentch).
In the old lore when 40k and fantasy were linked, the warhammer world was said look like our earth because the old slann engineered planets according to common templates. Thus there were many planets in the galaxy that resembled earth
40k and Fantasy are different universes that are still linked via the realm of Chaos / Immaterium. It was confirmed a few years ago in a White Dwarf magazine but had always hinted at it in old lore stories. The incongruities in the origins of the Chaos gods between both settings was hand waved because time and space is both shifting and malleable within the warp. The magazine specifically used the birth of Slaanesh as an example. The Dark Prince could have existed in another form in a distant universe prior to being birthed by the Aeldari.
@@HowlFromBeyond in the original lore they weren't. The wfb world was just another world cut off by warp storms. The rule sets were also so compatible that you could field 40k and fantasy armies in the same game.
Dude! This is utterly sublime. The script, the narration, the editing, the graphics... All of done superbly. Kudos, this is truly outstanding, congratulations and thank you.
I absolutely love the way the Institute presents information in videos like this. Presenting it through the perspectives of being in the universe and also confronting the biases of those being enriched the lore for me.
"A Creator arises from the darkness, and life follows him. His family quarrels, blows are exchange, and the Dark Gods pour in through the wounds. The world, once so vibrant, collapses under the weight of Chaos, but its glory can live forever so long as one remains to remember it." -- Lileath, Elven goddess of prophecy
@@Sara3346 I wouldn't really say she was wise, merely blessed/cursed with seeing the future. Worse, she concluded millennia earlier that the world was ultimately doomed and really didn't do anything to stop it. At best she helped slow down the End Times so her own scheme of saving SOME of souls of the Elves could be achieved and at worst, she helped it happen, at least along lines she wanted for said plan. She only truly helped once that goal was achieved, allowing herself to be sacrificed by Teclis in a grand spell that would teleport the Incarnates and their armies to Middenheim. Hell, for all the flak Teclis gets for his actions in the End Times as he Lileath's disciple and carried out many unpleasant acts for that plan, he believed that the future could be changed and carried out his own plans to give them a chance at saving the world. Lileath was driven by the absolute certainty of the future while Teclis was driven by the hope that the future wasn't written in stone. At very end of the World-That-Was, Alarielle even laments that had Lileath truly understood what the Incarnates had become and the power of the Old One Device Archaon used, things could have been different. But she didn't because she had become absolutely convinced that her prophecies were always right and therefore made them right rather than try to change things.
I kind of miss the old lore that hints at the Warhammer Fantasy world being a planet in 40K. But I think it was also hinted that 40K was taking place inside a magical orb in the Magical College of Altdorf. Maybe Age of Sigmar is taking place inside an artifact in Trazyn's collection.
@@TheAwesomeHyperon The old ones exist in both universes, Pretty much everything about the warp and their gods are identical, The Eldar and Elven Gods are shared too, The Ork and Orc gods are also the same. The north and south gates imploding into chaos rifts is very reminiscent of Eldar webways, The mentions of Chainswords and plasma pistols being found in the warp within warhammer fantasy lore, The mention of a huge silver knight fighting chaos with blue flames in the warp helping a fantasy party (later to be retconned to be a stormcast eternal rather than a grey knight). The Eye of Terror (a prominent warp rift within 40k) appearing on a fantasy map of the realms of chaos. The crossover of warp based characters like Skarbrand who only existed in 40k until 2013. The 1st rogue trader rulebook introducing Zoats, the Slann and lizardmen into 40k, also believe it was the first mention of both universes existing within a small object within the other. The entirety of Rouge Trader has essentially been retconned out of canon at this point. Now the only real connective tissue is small nods and references here and there.
@@TheAwesomeHyperon One of the short stories in "Tales of the Old World" is about a mage student talking his teacher into helping him cast a spell for knowledge. They traverse different worlds and pass a giant robot at one point b4 going back into the immaterium.
To think that The Old Ones were behind the shaping of the Known World by altering its environment, raising oceans or mountains, and even change the shape of the land to suit their purposes before creating various races like Elves, Dwarfs, Humans, and Lizardmen, etc.
@@かたわれ時-e7x big alien frogs like being that like to create mortal races tho they fucked up by creating two big portals that broke on the poles and chaos did a big Invasion
@@かたわれ時-e7x Think of the Old Ones as godlike gardeners who entered the area (the universe), created the plants (the planets and creatures within) and then left when the plants burst into huge flames. To reword it, the Old Ones were the unknown gods who created everything.
"... what were once mere warnings and names on the edge of maps are coming into focus." That couldn't be more literal. As a kid i always wondered what the lands off the map were like. Now in my middle age I find out.
So CA helped with this video and in this video you hint that the Chaos Dwarfs are getting ready to re-emerge. Heard it here first chaos dwarfs dlc incoming.
This was amazing holy shit, got me instantly hooked and in a writing mood, now I wanna add to my homebrew D&D world and write of ancient histories and different kinda human civilisations and the histories of the elves and dwarves etc
The more I learn of it the more I keep thinking this might be one of the best fantasy universes I've heard of. Obviously not without some flaws but it's just so... big, vibrant. Wish I was around during Warhammer Fantasy's heyday.
Connsidering how Total War: Warhammer is going strong rn, it just might be the heyday. Sure, GW trashed the world, but the old work is still available, I think.
@@olafgurke4699 End Times contradicts so many things so badly that it's impossible to reconcile it with Warhammer. I can only think of it as an alternate timeline where everything you knew was different and all the characters were stupid
@@olafgurke4699 6th edition and Storm of Chaos are the true canon. Read Nemesis Crown and the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2and edition. Kirby and his new writers received corporate (moneygrubber) permission to throw away 30 years of other writers' work and replace it with utter garbage.
A bit of info that contextualizes the Warhammer Fantasy world and caused me to see it in a new light: in 40K (I know the settings aren't technically linked, but they're made by the same people with the same ideas), the presence of a chaos gate on a planet effectively marks a world for death. Not even the most diehard factions of the Imperium will fight on such a world - it is an already lost cause, and the most they might do for it is try to blow the whole thing up as they pass it by, just in case doing so might slow down the spread of chaos from the planet. The world of Warhammer Fantasy has two chaos gates, and the people living on it are still alive. Not only are they successfully fighting back against chaos, but they are so successful at it that they have time to fight each other as well. It is entirely possible for a person living in this world to go through their entire lives without ever encountering even a significant trace of chaos, on a planet that should by all accounts probably be floating in the Warp right now. The factions in Warhammer Fantasy are fucking badass. They might not have the incalculable scale of factions from 40k, but given what they have to work with their feats put the armies of the Imperium to shame.
Since you basically episode on the entire world this time I hope that means you're going to do more like this in the future. Perhaps you could do one on Sanctuary, or Azeroth, or even Eternita.
WOW. Great work. I’m not even big on Warhammer but I have a passing interest in fantasy and this video pulled me right in. The visuals, the concise narration, the mournful music. You could probably do a video on North Dakota and make it seem like an interesting place. Well done sir.
Now that the Ruination novel is coming out soon, you could make a similar video about the world of Runeterra. Must of the lore by now is swallow, but the worldbuilding? That, they have dedicated a lot of time and interest. They have a whole webpage for that.
Really cool. As a lover of fantasy worlds, this really set my creative juices flowing. I had no idea that the lore of Warhammer was so extensive. It is a bit generic, as the real world inspirations are impossible to hide, but taken as a whole, it looks very interesting.
That's what I love about it. It never tries to hide where the inspiration is from, yet, when you see how detailed and creative they get with what it has, you can't help but want to see more.
I knew Warhammer Fantasy leaned more into the “Europe” part of the Medieval European Fantasy genre than most but I never realized that the setting was literally just a fantasy knock-off version of Earth lmao
That's why decades ago when I first heard of the setting I never looked any further into it. I just figured it was a combination of medieval history + Tolkien + every single fantasy trope ever mushed together in a parody and taking place in a setting they were too lazy to even bother disguising. I was totally wrong and Warhammer has some of the best and well-formed lore I've seen in a fantasy setting, but from the time I was a wee lad up until a couple of years ago I still thought it was a tongue-in-cheek parody of fantasy in general. Do not let the fact the geography mirrors our own make ya think the lore is gonna be lazy and dismiss it before even giving it a chance like I had 'cause you'll be missing some really good stuff.
You know its actually pretty brilliant that they modeled their world after ours, because it's a familiar enough structure for us to follow, yet its completely different in so many aspects. Its honestly like an alternate earth
End Times contradicts so many things so badly that it's impossible to reconcile it with Warhammer. I can only think of it as an alternate timeline where everything you knew was different and all the characters were stupid. Storm of Chaos is the real canon.
This is the most amazing video showcasing the stunning world of Warhammer with all the different continents, climates and people or things who inhabit these areas, but you forgot the Lost Isles of Elithis. It is an archipelago of three islands southern of Nippon and eastern of Kuresh. Again amazing video! 👍
Nothing lasts forever, that is certain. However, nothing is truly gone as long as at least one person still remembers. Enjoyed this epic length Atlas video on the entire world of Warhammer. I hope you'll do something on Age of Sigmar next.
As someone who has always been more focused on 40K than Warhammer Fantasy, I find myself hoping that we get a Templin report about the Age of Sigmar setting. From what I've heard, it sounds more like multiple planes of existence linked by portals rather than a normal world, but it'd be nice to know for sure!
They need to do for WarHammer Fantasy what they did for Elder Scrolls. I'd like to see a First Person or Third Person (or both) RPG Game set in the WarHammer Fantasy Universe. That'd be cool. Edit: maybe FromSoft could make a great adaptation.
They did. It was called Warhammer Age of Reckoning. Many thought it would slay the behemoth that was World of Warcraft. Sadly developer's over promised and under delivered on content slated for the game. Being published by EA certainly did it no favors either.
@@HowlFromBeyond Oh screw EA! Warhammer Fantasy DESERVES a better publisher than that! It DESERVES a damn good game about itself! Nay, not good, It deserves a GREAT game!
Its Just stunning to See so beautiful Pictures of a GAME. And the narrator fits the Video so Well. Its likea documentation about a real Planet. Great Video. I cant wait to Explore the known world in Immortal empires.
I hope that Immortal Empires truly will be grand, the full map of the Known World. Without cut sides like Mortal Empires compared to the Vortex map. Imagine the vastness one could experience as your preferred faction works towards world domination. Imagine Lizardmen spreading all the way to Cathay in their effort to rid the world of their Old masters from the taint of Chaos and Warpstone. Imagine Imrik marrying Ming, the dragon lady. Imagine Karl Franz summoning the Elector Counts to unite all of mankind under one banner, for Sigmar! I never could really get into 40K, but WHF made me feel right at home.
No mention of a small continent to the south of Kuresh, a dry land fully of deadly spiders, drop bears, enormous lizards, and wild dingomen who charge into battle riding strange two legged hopping animals while chanting their savage cry of "Oi oi oi"
The canon ending is "Archeon died outside Middenheim" even after GW handheld him, so the company threw a massive fit, retconned huge chunks of the lore, raped the characters, handed the world to Chaos on a platter and then nuked it, and launched 40K 2: Ground Marine Boogaloo on its tattered corpse. Don't need a company to tell me how to think about fiction.
Warhammer World is dangerous, yet beautiful, that much is true. But unlike the Witcher or Game of Throes and other modern Sartre-isms where people are monsters etc ; Warhammer Fantasy is and should remain different. It is dark, dangerous and beautiful so it could give you a better setting for adventures, to make you fight for something. Unlike horrible, modern dark fantasy which is both ugly and filled with monsters, you have no anchor! It's stupid. Warhammer Fantasy is not. Or at least was not, it was severely mishandled in 6th-7th era imo. Herohammer ftw!
@@locephaxthearchseducer4621 Nah, I think his is spelled with only one L? Mallus is only the molten core of the World That Was in AOS though. It's sort of like calling earth 'Atlantic Ocean +' or something.
I'm more of a 40K guy myself, but I appreciate something about Fantasy: the sense of being hemmed in. The world captures the idea that our settlements are always on the brink and we're surrounded on all sides by hostile nature. It must've been what it was like to be a human in the olden days, when the woods stretched everywhere, instead of wilderness being confined to a few small pockets.
I like how they insisted that war should be constant everywhere that they sometimes doesnt make sense. Like i remember reading description of a country that goes like "this nation is where trade and culture thrive... oh btw there is a field of constant warfare not far from here"

To think that The Old Ones were behind the shaping of the Known World by altering its environment, raising oceans or mountains, and even change the shape of the land to suit their purposes before creating various races like Elves, Dwarfs, Humans, and Lizardmen, etc.
and that the dragons preceded them
Who are the Old Ones again
@@かたわれ時-e7x big alien frogs like being that like to create mortal races tho they fucked up by creating two big portals that broke on the poles and chaos did a big Invasion
@@かたわれ時-e7x Think of the Old Ones as godlike gardeners who entered the area (the universe), created the plants (the planets and creatures within) and then left when the plants burst into huge flames. To reword it, the Old Ones were the unknown gods who created everything.
And they still couldnt beat chaos. How?
The Warp Stone Desert looks like an area infested by Tiberium.
Warpstone is kind of like that yeah, except I think it existed as a concept first.
KANE LIVES IN DEATH!
The beautiful glow, fields of green!
Yeah it does but Warpstone does not grow. Well maybe it does but not in a regular basis like Tiberium.
forget about the powers of the ruinous powers Brother!
WE NEED TO BE ONE WITH YURI :)
"... what were once mere warnings and names on the edge of maps are coming into focus." That couldn't be more literal. As a kid i always wondered what the lands off the map were like. Now in my middle age I find out.
So CA helped with this video and in this video you hint that the Chaos Dwarfs are getting ready to re-emerge. Heard it here first chaos dwarfs dlc incoming.
I mean they have been confirmed for some time now.
Wonder if it'll be as good as the mod for wh2...
This was amazing holy shit, got me instantly hooked and in a writing mood, now I wanna add to my homebrew D&D world and write of ancient histories and different kinda human civilisations and the histories of the elves and dwarves etc
The more I learn of it the more I keep thinking this might be one of the best fantasy universes I've heard of. Obviously not without some flaws but it's just so... big, vibrant. Wish I was around during Warhammer Fantasy's heyday.
It has excellent lore, especially for warfare. Appropriate for a wargame setting, expanded to also support RPG elements.
Connsidering how Total War: Warhammer is going strong rn, it just might be the heyday. Sure, GW trashed the world, but the old work is still available, I think.

End Times contradicts so many things so badly that it's impossible to reconcile it with Warhammer. I can only think of it as an alternate timeline where everything you knew was different and all the characters were stupid
@@reidparker1848 Exactly. The End Times didn't happen. (:
@@olafgurke4699
6th edition and Storm of Chaos are the true canon. Read Nemesis Crown and the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2and edition. Kirby and his new writers received corporate (moneygrubber) permission to throw away 30 years of other writers' work and replace it with utter garbage.
A bit of info that contextualizes the Warhammer Fantasy world and caused me to see it in a new light: in 40K (I know the settings aren't technically linked, but they're made by the same people with the same ideas), the presence of a chaos gate on a planet effectively marks a world for death. Not even the most diehard factions of the Imperium will fight on such a world - it is an already lost cause, and the most they might do for it is try to blow the whole thing up as they pass it by, just in case doing so might slow down the spread of chaos from the planet.
The world of Warhammer Fantasy has two chaos gates, and the people living on it are still alive. Not only are they successfully fighting back against chaos, but they are so successful at it that they have time to fight each other as well. It is entirely possible for a person living in this world to go through their entire lives without ever encountering even a significant trace of chaos, on a planet that should by all accounts probably be floating in the Warp right now.
The factions in Warhammer Fantasy are fucking badass. They might not have the incalculable scale of factions from 40k, but given what they have to work with their feats put the armies of the Imperium to shame.
The closing statement was beautifully said. The world may be gone but it never truly will be until we forget about it.
You could not have had a better narrator do this series ❤
Man-thing did not mention Skaven by name yes-yes!
whats a skaven
Nippon seems like the safest place to be once Daniel, the Daemon king takes over the Known World.
The true meaning of immortality...
Remembrance
Go Australia-equivalent - a land with creatures that makes Lustria look like an imperial botanic garden.
That would be the Lost Isles of Elithis, a high elf colony where many of their more adventurous live, in a largely unexplored land.
Since you basically episode on the entire world this time I hope that means you're going to do more like this in the future.
Perhaps you could do one on Sanctuary, or Azeroth, or even Eternita.
Ah, jeez, I can’t wait for immortal empires much longer, I’ll distract myself with some TH-cam videos…
Templin Institute:
WOW. Great work. I’m not even big on Warhammer but I have a passing interest in fantasy and this video pulled me right in. The visuals, the concise narration, the mournful music. You could probably do a video on North Dakota and make it seem like an interesting place. Well done sir.
I hope you enjoyed your vacation.
Now that the Ruination novel is coming out soon, you could make a similar video about the world of Runeterra. Must of the lore by now is swallow, but the worldbuilding? That, they have dedicated a lot of time and interest. They have a whole webpage for that.
Where’d that map come from at 2:20, it looks great.
This is like listening to someone talk about an old friend for me :)
I trust Templin a lot more than that backstabbing Total Warhammer narrator
A bit of a shame you stopped doing these, this world still has so much to explore..
Really cool. As a lover of fantasy worlds, this really set my creative juices flowing. I had no idea that the lore of Warhammer was so extensive. It is a bit generic, as the real world inspirations are impossible to hide, but taken as a whole, it looks very interesting.
That's what I love about it. It never tries to hide where the inspiration is from, yet, when you see how detailed and creative they get with what it has, you can't help but want to see more.
I knew Warhammer Fantasy leaned more into the “Europe” part of the Medieval European Fantasy genre than most but I never realized that the setting was literally just a fantasy knock-off version of Earth lmao
That's why decades ago when I first heard of the setting I never looked any further into it. I just figured it was a combination of medieval history + Tolkien + every single fantasy trope ever mushed together in a parody and taking place in a setting they were too lazy to even bother disguising.
I was totally wrong and Warhammer has some of the best and well-formed lore I've seen in a fantasy setting, but from the time I was a wee lad up until a couple of years ago I still thought it was a tongue-in-cheek parody of fantasy in general. Do not let the fact the geography mirrors our own make ya think the lore is gonna be lazy and dismiss it before even giving it a chance like I had 'cause you'll be missing some really good stuff.
@@angry_zergling I never said it was lazy or dismissed it? I'm not super into it but I consider myself a fan in general
@@Dirtyblue929 Oh I didn't mean to imply that you had. I meant that I had initially but that it was a mistake. =)
You know its actually pretty brilliant that they modeled their world after ours, because it's a familiar enough structure for us to follow, yet its completely different in so many aspects. Its honestly like an alternate earth
As it should.
Looking forward to this map so much more now thank you. I will be watching this as I choose my first lord.
Very accurate and very well narrated. Great work!
This comment has my consent!
Glad you returned, guys, I really cannot wait to see you talk about the End Times( either the canon or your own version)
End Times contradicts so many things so badly that it's impossible to reconcile it with Warhammer. I can only think of it as an alternate timeline where everything you knew was different and all the characters were stupid. Storm of Chaos is the real canon.
Last time I was this early it was before the end times
So warhammer fantasy world is a reflection of our dimension… amazing..
oh hell yeah I’m gagging for more fantasy and 40k content
Absolutely slobbering for it :D
Wow. I was just beginngin my WHF journey. This video came in just the right time. Ive finished all templins videos.
Beautiful Video on the World of Warhammer Fantasy. Both Informative and Entertaining and your Narration legit gave me goose bumps.
This is the most amazing video showcasing the stunning world of Warhammer with all the different continents, climates and people or things who inhabit these areas, but you forgot the Lost Isles of Elithis. It is an archipelago of three islands southern of Nippon and eastern of Kuresh. Again amazing video! 👍
Amazing video! And the time for Immortal Empires to be released is soon!
This video gives a great overview and introduction to the Warhammer Fantasy world.
"Distant nations and immortal empires." Heh, they said the thing.
Would love to see the Templin Institute cover the Lizardmen in depth.
Agreed I would like to see more about them. Given that they seem like a very likable bunch :P
I love you Templin Institute.
Ya'll are the true Astromancers
Nothing lasts forever, that is certain. However, nothing is truly gone as long as at least one person still remembers.
Enjoyed this epic length Atlas video on the entire world of Warhammer. I hope you'll do something on Age of Sigmar next.
I was with you, until you mentioned AoS...
Age of Shitmar
@@miickydeath12 Aye, that's a good one.
Praise be to the Institute! Welcome back!
Absolutely Banger Quality!! great work mate
As someone who has always been more focused on 40K than Warhammer Fantasy, I find myself hoping that we get a Templin report about the Age of Sigmar setting. From what I've heard, it sounds more like multiple planes of existence linked by portals rather than a normal world, but it'd be nice to know for sure!
They need to do for WarHammer Fantasy what they did for Elder Scrolls.
I'd like to see a First Person or Third Person (or both) RPG Game set in the WarHammer Fantasy Universe.
That'd be cool.
Edit: maybe FromSoft could make a great adaptation.
They did. It was called Warhammer Age of Reckoning. Many thought it would slay the behemoth that was World of Warcraft.
Sadly developer's over promised and under delivered on content slated for the game. Being published by EA certainly did it no favors either.
@@HowlFromBeyond
Fuck EA.
@@HowlFromBeyond Oh screw EA! Warhammer Fantasy DESERVES a better publisher than that! It DESERVES a damn good game about itself! Nay, not good, It deserves a GREAT game!
@@hypermaeonyx4969 It was actually a pretty good game that had alot of potential that was sadly never realized.
@@HowlFromBeyond an mmo is higly different to a singleplayer open world game
Great video. Keep up the good work, loved this one.
Its Just stunning to See so beautiful Pictures of a GAME. And the narrator fits the Video so Well. Its likea documentation about a real Planet. Great Video. I cant wait to Explore the known world in Immortal empires.
This was a wonderful look at my favorite setting in fiction. Thank you!
I hope that Immortal Empires truly will be grand, the full map of the Known World. Without cut sides like Mortal Empires compared to the Vortex map. Imagine the vastness one could experience as your preferred faction works towards world domination. Imagine Lizardmen spreading all the way to Cathay in their effort to rid the world of their Old masters from the taint of Chaos and Warpstone. Imagine Imrik marrying Ming, the dragon lady. Imagine Karl Franz summoning the Elector Counts to unite all of mankind under one banner, for Sigmar!
I never could really get into 40K, but WHF made me feel right at home.
No mention of a small continent to the south of Kuresh, a dry land fully of deadly spiders, drop bears, enormous lizards, and wild dingomen who charge into battle riding strange two legged hopping animals while chanting their savage cry of "Oi oi oi"
I dont know much about the Fantasy Side of Warhammer so this video helped a lot! Can I suggest the Cult of Miraak from Skyrim: Dragonborn?
This could be a crazy idea, but if you guys did a Warhammer Invicta with Immortal Empires it could be EPIC.
Ayo warhammer fantasy, less goo
i dont know about you.. but Voice of this narrator.. He and Jim Carter. those two always gives me chills. so powerful..
I actually like that little nod to Age of Sigmar at the end.
The spirit and wonders of the Old World live on within the God-King Sigmar!
The canon ending is "Archeon died outside Middenheim" even after GW handheld him, so the company threw a massive fit, retconned huge chunks of the lore, raped the characters, handed the world to Chaos on a platter and then nuked it, and launched 40K 2: Ground Marine Boogaloo on its tattered corpse. Don't need a company to tell me how to think about fiction.
This was very well done! Immortal Empires soon baby!!
They are back with an absolute banger!
Hurray, Templin Institute is back!
WARHAMMER LORE IS CRAZY AF
And they say the world of the Witcher is dark.
As a man who has spent his life in fantasy worlds I say warhammer fantasy is the second dark world
The darkest is warhammer 40K
Warhammer World is dangerous, yet beautiful, that much is true. But unlike the Witcher or Game of Throes and other modern Sartre-isms where people are monsters etc ; Warhammer Fantasy is and should remain different.
It is dark, dangerous and beautiful so it could give you a better setting for adventures, to make you fight for something. Unlike horrible, modern dark fantasy which is both ugly and filled with monsters, you have no anchor! It's stupid. Warhammer Fantasy is not.
Or at least was not, it was severely mishandled in 6th-7th era imo. Herohammer ftw!
You have made the video I never thought would be made 😭
Only part you need to know is blessed bretonnia. Land of the lady and her chosen champions!

Guess those woodland fairies finally got what was coming to them!

He should be the only voice.
Good intro to Total War Warhammer3. Everyone should watch!

And now we can conquer this fantastical world
The World of Warhammer Fantasy had another name called "Mallus".
Darkblade?
@@locephaxthearchseducer4621 Nah, I think his is spelled with only one L? Mallus is only the molten core of the World That Was in AOS though. It's sort of like calling earth 'Atlantic Ocean +' or something.

This is spectacular
And they're back! Hopefully with Invicta Season 3 soon.
I think this world is good for a good MMORPG
Ah Naggaroth. Also known as Hell Canada and Literally On Fire California
Leave it to the Templin Institute to give us a proper tour of the Warhammer World.
Loved the vid big fan of lore in detail and can you do a lore vid on the sea monsters of the warhammer world
A glorious video to return on. Just in time for IE launch
Thank you for this great video!
I love this.. He can truly narrate a series 😄😄😊
Beautifully narrated!
I'm more of a 40K guy myself, but I appreciate something about Fantasy: the sense of being hemmed in. The world captures the idea that our settlements are always on the brink and we're surrounded on all sides by hostile nature. It must've been what it was like to be a human in the olden days, when the woods stretched everywhere, instead of wilderness being confined to a few small pockets.
I like how they insisted that war should be constant everywhere that they sometimes doesnt make sense. Like i remember reading description of a country that goes like "this nation is where trade and culture thrive... oh btw there is a field of constant warfare not far from here"
I like how it looks like a map some drunk tried to draw of our world from memory...
Amazing vid
Warhammer fantasy is great
