Just finished this in preperation for the twisted and the twilight dlc. Got to say that story was a lot deeper than i expected and gotta say i loved it!
I'm leaving a comment. Just cuz. Keep making content Sotek! I need your Lore. You're the definitive Lore channel as far as I'm concerned. And this coming from an old and loyal Arch fan.
Incredible work Sotek. You included so much detail, found so much wonderful art, and really managed to express the tragedy of Ariel's tale. Thanks for your hard work.
Relatively new to this world (better affiliated with 40k), I came across your channel through Arch Warhammer. I watched his video on the wood elves and was left hungry for a better understanding of their existence. Your video went above and beyond the call of duty, and I thank you for it.
so awsome man. listened half at work today and the other while playing my angrund campaign. thank you so much :) made me buy the wood elf DLC at last ^^ (use this comment in your resume with CA)
This is an great idea Loremaster! especially for those who must to know more about the world of Warhammer and the people who just starting out in the game
I never knew that the Asri went to Naggaroth and all that, like was said before I never was to inretested in Wood Elf's until this video. But now wow ( no wonder Gilead was such a badass ). Great job on all of your videos I love them! Thank you for making them. I have searched for a Tyrion/ Teclis or High Elf video like this one and I can't find one. I would love to see one this detailed through into the End Times and everything. Thanks again for all you videos you are awesome! Cheers......
This is awesome - feels like being gathered by a fire and learning about strange and fantastical tales :) perhaps before setting out on one of our own :)
Fascinating. I was going to get Warhammer Total War already, despite my dislike of the Dawi, apathy towards the Empire, annoyance with the Greenskins, and uncertainty about the Vampire Counts. But if there is the chance this lot will show up, I will have something further to look forward to.
All i know them as is the assholes in warhammer total war that keep telling me about how they don't care about the outside world and only wish to survive within their own borders before burning down Nuln, Karak Izor and Parravon for the 20th time
Can't emagine the Dwarfs, a race of proud sturdy beings would just go "Fu** this sh** we're out" and leave the forest because a couple of pointy eared girls were constantly moving instead of just setting the forest ablaze.
You overestimate how strong the dwarves are lil bro. If the dwarves could kill the wood elves they would have done so years ago. Yet they keep trying and failing lol.
Hey Loremaster, are you going to make any more of these type of videos? As in more about a race, less about a character? I find them very pleasant to listen to.
Fantastic video! I still got my old wood elves 4th edtion rule book. Love their lore! Well made Sotek! :) Quick question. Is Morghur blessed by nurgle? Since he can be restored again and again ?
***** Ahh that makes more sense! :) But why does Morghur want Ariel? is it because she is in fact the embodiment of nature? "aka life" I know i'm asking a lot of question further more but i've never really known anything about the woodelves lore in warhammer, i'am just curious because the lore seem very rich and I love the fact that their realm is somewhat a chaos realm.
I came here because a friend (not TH-cam) recommended your channel. I like what you do so far (30 min in). You read very well. However, the sound/microphone could get a little improvement imho. Cheers !
Someone may have already commented this, but the word bough is pronounced the same way as "bow" in "bow in respect" not "bow" like "bow and arrow". Otherwise great video on my second favorite race.
Hey dude. I thought this video was pretty good, but especially can't wait for your Dwarf and Greenskins videos. But I had t tiny request I wanted to make of you, if that's ok.
That's ok. Well the request I wanted to ask of you may sound like a little odd one from a Warhammer fan. But could you possibly do a video or two on the lesser factions like Tilea and such and how they may or may not play out in Total War: Warhammer? I just think that even if they're mostly human nations, the lesser factions in Warhammer could be a lot of fun in a TW game. Here's a link to one discussion I started steamcommunity.com/app/364360/discussions/0/451852571439715420/ It's about Cathay. Look for a comment by a Reverend Belial and Ysthrall, they actually brought some really interesting stuff up. Sorry it's such a long comment.
Now i may be wrong but I can't make sense of this: They sacrifice a " prince " each year for Orion to be born.. that means 1 dies each year. And if i am not mistaken Elves don't make that many babies as often as humans and other races.. First: Is every wood elf a prince / princess ? Second: How aint their society dead yet, with low birth rate and all? I do take into account that in Warhammer there is war and elves die.. Humans grow up fast and reproduce like rats compared to elves. So it just dosen't make sense that they sacrifice 1 elf each year. The wood elves would be dead by default, low birthrate etc ? Or am i wrong?
4 years after being posted and I'm still here to listen to this all again.
6 years here
Id almost say these vids are getting better by age
six years on and im still here to listen.
Seven
Eight
Never cared for wood elves before now but i have to admit they have a very interesting and storied history.
This was brilliant! PLEASE MOAR! Part 2 and other races!!!
Just finished this in preperation for the twisted and the twilight dlc. Got to say that story was a lot deeper than i expected and gotta say i loved it!
So happy I was directed to this channel.This is good stuff.
I know I'm late to the party, but this video was the perfect balance of pace and detail! Thank you

I don't have the money to support you via patreon, but thanks again for putting these videos out man. Appreciated :)
@@loremasterofsotek I am a poor person also lol but thanks for these videos. I am sure its a Lot of hard work ❤
Incredible work Sotek. You included so much detail, found so much wonderful art, and really managed to express the tragedy of Ariel's tale. Thanks for your hard work.
Awesome!! Can't wait to see the rest.
This is absolutely fantastic. Thanks man.
It would be cool to see some more of these sotek!!

yeah I don't know what GS was thinking but fortunately we have folks like you try and save what lore you could
Oh man, you can turn this all into a three movie LOTR type epic.
This series is going to be amazing! :)
Thank you so much for yet another great lore video.
Hunted this down upon playing as them in the total war game for the afternoon. Thank you for the enhancements.
Thank you for your work and enthusiasm, great story!
Your content is amazing, I hope you continue to be the loremaster haha
A quality lore video.
I wud love a Lizardmen lore vid that is this long and detaild
thank you for doing this
I never knew that the Asri went to Naggaroth and all that, like was said before I never was to inretested in Wood Elf's until this video. But now wow ( no wonder Gilead was such a badass ).

Took me a few days getting through it, but it was very well put and quite interesting. Great work :)
Outstanding work bud.

Mah dude you are awesome. Thank you for the lore videos.
Love all this history man! :) Keep it up!
Another fantastic video, i feel like i'm attending a course on Warhammer Fantasy! :)
Yay I love the wood elves so much!
This was really cool! I hope to see more vids soon :)
This is awesome - feels like being gathered by a fire and learning about strange and fantastical tales :) perhaps before setting out on one of our own :)
Well done my man
Fascinating. I was going to get Warhammer Total War already, despite my dislike of the Dawi, apathy towards the Empire, annoyance with the Greenskins, and uncertainty about the Vampire Counts. But if there is the chance this lot will show up, I will have something further to look forward to.
Fantasy is a way better setting than AoS. Thanks for these videos dude, even now you're bringing in new fans of the World that Was.
Wood elves are badass and dangerous
Fucking hell, mate, an hour-seventeen? Must've taken quite some time reading and compiling all this fluff, eh? Kudos.
That is an incredible and excellent video, merci beaucoup, thanks a loooot !
Great video man!!!
This was amazing. Lovr the lore .
This was great. No need for music, more focused without it. :)
amazing video sir!
Nice i revisited contemplating a woodelf DLC
Just started playing Heralds of Alariel. Figured I'd learn about these greenpeace-gone-wild elves.
Great Work! keep it up!
All i know them as is the assholes in warhammer total war that keep telling me about how they don't care about the outside world and only wish to survive within their own borders before burning down Nuln, Karak Izor and Parravon for the 20th time
The dwarves retreated from the woodelves like the cowards they truly are.
wheres the rest of the videos?
For the algorithm, for the wood elves
Hope they put elves in the game soon.Still waiting for the dark elves to come in
SHITE, you are a good narrator ... to eb fair, you have some great material to work with, but this is still great.
a legend is often true
I love this
Love you man
Will you do an army video for the races ????
that was excellent
This is just grand
The trees said "I hate you get out of my forrest"
So much better than Arch's. Thx! :)
I think they are both amazing. each of them has a different style. but these a way more detailed. I like that.
Can't emagine the Dwarfs, a race of proud sturdy beings would just go "Fu** this sh** we're out" and leave the forest because a couple of pointy eared girls were constantly moving instead of just setting the forest ablaze.
You overestimate how strong the dwarves are lil bro. If the dwarves could kill the wood elves they would have done so years ago. Yet they keep trying and failing lol.
very good
Hey Loremaster, are you going to make any more of these type of videos? As in more about a race, less about a character? I find them very pleasant to listen to.
Elves can't fight a bunch of little ugly people who don't know how to shave? I hate dwarves.
This is a really great video! Will you be covering more specific Treekin, like Durthu? I was wondering is that their specific race name?
Awesome!!!!!!!
In the new Warhammer total war 2 dlc you can use the twin sisters! Yes
Is the story of ariel going mad in the orion novels or somewhere else? Love to read about it
When will you do skaven?
Cool!
What happened in this video? The mic quality / room resonance is super strong - all the other vids dont have this issue o.O
Fantastic video! I still got my old wood elves 4th edtion rule book.
Love their lore! Well made Sotek! :)
Quick question.
Is Morghur blessed by nurgle? Since he can be restored again and again ?
***** Ahh that makes more sense! :)
But why does Morghur want Ariel? is it because she is in fact the embodiment of nature? "aka life"
I know i'm asking a lot of question further more but i've never really known anything about the woodelves lore in warhammer, i'am just curious because the lore seem very rich and I love the fact that their realm is somewhat a chaos realm.

Cool! Thank you for the answers! :)
This was pretty good. Don't care about music so just keep it coming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amazing video!!!!!! thanks obama
Sylvaneth/Wanderers lore video when?
Can u do the lore of Tyrion of Ulthuan
sad that there is nothing for other nations... Great work!
I'd love to play D&D with this dude thanks a lot for the upload you rule if I ever win the lottery I'm going to hire you to read to me :p
Someone may have already commented this, but the word bough is pronounced the same way as "bow" in "bow in respect" not "bow" like "bow and arrow". Otherwise great video on my second favorite race.
For the algorithm
please do more ork stuff
seems real
I always wonder what commonalities the queen of the wood & the ever queen of Ulthuan share if their are any...
Hey dude. I thought this video was pretty good, but especially can't wait for your Dwarf and Greenskins videos. But I had t tiny request I wanted to make of you, if that's ok.

Classic sotek. 56000 views. Wooof. Get emmm

They are omegachads and beat 1v1000 in battles because they are superior? Mad?
Notice me SENPAI
I want be a wood elf so much living with the forest and word ship the wood elves gods

Didn't Malekith marry a wood elve
These elves sound like native Americans
Ddid I sense a Matt Ward taint?

+Bart Broekhuizen sure dark elfs is kind of clear. but the hippie's?
Loremaster_of_Sotek was slowly dieing. after all, the end times have been written
