The Asuryani ("children of Asuryan" in the Aeldari Lexicon), also called Craftworld Aeldari as they were named before the fall of their lost realm, or the Eldar as they were long known to outsiders, are an ancient humanoid alien species whose vast empire once extended the width and breadth of the known galaxy. The Asuryani are a kindred of the Aeldari race who now live on vast, city-like starships called craftworlds.
"Isha is in Nurgles Jar"
He's out of hand... but he's right
It's out of line, but your right.
*oh no*
According to TTS, then by the Laughing God’s own admission, his name is pronounced “Damn you, Honk God, how do you pronounce your evil horrible clown name?!?”
@@elgringofeo9348 His name is Cegorach. Nobody knows how to pronounce it, perhaps not even himself.
@@elgringofeo9348 who the hell pronounces “sure that way?”

Anyways, time for some cheese and comedy
@@elgringofeo9348 Its Shur, sher would sound like Cher the singer if that helps.
Fun fact about Isha apparently; Leman Russ looking for the tree of life to heal the emperor is her, because she is associated with trees and healing, and is in the warp. She also made spirit stones by crying like you guys said, and the reason you can cure nurgle's diseases is that she heals herself of them, then psychicly whispers the cures. She also can probably heal the emperor like ynead could, but yeah, I really do like that one bit of lore.
it's a combination of Persephone/Hades, and the norse myth of Idun's Apples.

"The Imperium hasn't birthed [a chaos] god who eats their people."
>side-eyes the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne, devouring the soul of 1000 psykers a day.
hmmm...are you SURE about that, DK?
Yes we didn't birth him. We only keep him stuffed.
@Scrub Chronicles literally starved for content, those people
Heresy *BLAM*
I'm being pedantic but; apples and oranges. Even if we're talking Star Child Emprah, humans didn't create him, he was/is being created as a result of a war. It's reactionary rather than voluntary. If we're not talking Star Child; he's not a God. Nowhere CLOSE to that. A ridiculously strong, hyper-evolved human, but not a conceptual being with absolute dominion over an aspect of existence.
Ha but you see the emperor is not a god
Aeldari: Use shuriken weaponry, study the blade, paths, oriental clothing, runes look like Chinese characters.
Aeldari: _Are Irish Space Elf Druids._
Indeed. Not one single mention of the Eldar's Celtic influences is a pretty shocking oversight for a podcast about the faction.
Isn't the whole story that Nurgle basically keeps her around to show off all his latest plagues to her as... I honestly couldn't say if he's torturing her by forcing her to watch her former worshippers choke on their own blood and die horribly or if he actually thinks she's going to be impressed?
Anyhow, the surviving worshippers of Isha claim that every time Nurgle is off doing something else, Isha engages in a little corporate espionage action and whispers the secrets of cures to mortals so they can stop Nurgle's plagues.
She's actually one of the most active eldar gods if that's true.
I kind of want to make a Craftworld Eldar army that is motivated by their desire to free Isha from Nurgle's grasp, and kill a bunch of Nurgle worshipers in the meantime. Maybe do a little medical "humanitarian" aid on the side.
"If he actually thinks shes going to be impressed"
Aw thats adorable
@@fatherpucci-madeinheaven362 Well, it's Nurgle. He doesn't really strike me as the god who would be good with the ladies...
@@Bluecho4 nice idea, im starting an army of craftworld soon too, its my first army but i'm using my friends paints and he has a lot of reddish ones
@@Bluecho4 Well there might not be a specific CRAFTWORLD whit that intent, but there is a HARLEQUIN group (don't remember how they call them) whose goal is to eventually free Isha.
I notice that all the surviving old Eldar gods have similarities to the other Chaos Gods. Cegorach is a trickster god and Tzeetch is a huge troll and trickster as well. Isha is a life goddess and Nurgle is technically one too. Khaine is a war god and Khorne is the most martial and war focused of the Chaos Gods.
It's my headcanon that Tzeetch gave Cegorach a heads up about what was about to go down with the birth of Slaanesh, letting him escape into the Webway in the nick of time.
@@astorcastoroftherose passion and excess doesn’t really correlate with death, androgynous aesthetics checks out though
Nurgle is absolutely a life goddess.
Sass aside, he's more akin to a god of corrupted nature than actual life, but you do raise a very interesting point.
Weeeeeel actuaaaaalyyyyy
Old papa Nurgle is more on side of evolution and progress of life than on life itself.

I call it the dementia song.
I hate it too
I enjoy them.
Idk man, I enjoy the tune.
The sheer visceral horror I felt as soon as I heard "Nurgle has her in a jar" nearly made my soul go directly to the warp
I like this series but your dislike of Eldar shows in all the missing details. Khaine doesn't fight his way out of Slaanesh. He does fight, which lets Cegorach escape, but Khaine is getting eaten like the rest and Khorne is like "no", because Khaine is like a brother god of Khorne: war, honour, bloodshed etc. Khorne fights Slaanesh for Khaine and Khaine is shattered into little pieces, which are the Avatars of Khaine. Pieces of the war god, kind of like the shards of C'tan. Speaking of C'tan, Khaine had an epic 1v1 battle with the Nightbringer during the war in heaven.
The Goddess being kept by Nurgle is basically Cortana and the Gravemind
Hey, Nurgle loves his wife! Why else would he shower her with all the best gifts he can make and give her the chance to sample his award-winning cooking before anyone else?
Graveminds voice is my head canon voice for Nurgle. “We exist together now, two corpses in one grave”. “I am a timeless chorus, join your voice with mine and sing victory everlasting”.
Really, the anthropomorphic symbol of toxic friendship being hot-over-heels for the bimbo-elf goddess? Compared to a virtual hottie tortured by a talking plant-penis with tendrils that zombify people. I don't see the difference?
@@XSilver_WaterX why "bimbo"
@@r.cdahuman7682 GW can't stop fans from getting horny by imagining what Lannesh and Isha looks like.
So the Eldar do have a *bit* of a Japanese influence, yes, but most of it is based off Celtic culture. Their language is heavily inspired by Gaelic (if I'm remembering right, some words just straight up *are* Gaelic), their Craftworld names are often derived from Celtic holidays (Saim-Hann = Samhain, Biel-tan = Beltane, etc.), and the Howling Banshees unit is named after the Banshee, a piece of Irish folklore. Also, to my understanding, Ynnead is pronounced "INN-ee-ad."
Not trying to be all "Well, ackchyually" here, I just feel that the main inspiration for the Eldar is worth noting.
It is worth mentioning. This is what happens when you approach a topic from a position of ignorance and don't ask people with a better understanding to guide you.
No, "Well Ackchyually" the hell out of him! His hatred of the Eldar clearly cloud his mind. As it does to all loyal citizens who rightfully hate the knife-assing knife-ears.
Their Gods are basically the Olympians, their language and culture is closer to Chinese and elements of Egyptian than Japanese if you ignore the Aspect Warriors. Dragons, Ancestor Worship, Phoenixes, death and rebirth etc.
One of their old quotes is a direct reference to Chinese Philosopher Gu Hongming, speaking to an Englishman, is quoted as saying "Why, when you lived in caves and clothed yourselves with skins, we were cultured people."
So TLDR. The Asuryani are a smorgasbord of ancient cultures from IRL ancient civilizations and their units are based around 70s-80s anime mechas if you listen/read to Jes Goodwin. (Creator of the Eldar, Dark Eldar and more)
People will say anything to justify their weeb crap.
Tau had a kill-on-sight policy against all Eldar after they got got by the DE, then eventually revised their policy after learning that different factions existed
From what I understand after 12 years in the hobby, the Eldar fractions go by this order when it comes to numbers.
1. Dark Eldar/Drukari (because of cloning and sex. Do whatever the drugs tell them to do)
2. Craftworld. (the vanilla ones, saves the Real people, use lots of wraith constructs, often uses other races to do their dirty work for them.)
3. Exodites. (Hippies never moving from their planets, breed naturalny, but in moderation. Stay on their garden planets and ignores the rest od the galaxy)
4. Harlequins. (The least numerous. Maybe? Not sure. Who can know they are so mysterious. CLOWNS!)
I do not count the Corsairs and Ynnari becuase they are less a fraction and more like organizations that anyone can join and do, mostly, whatever they want.
Well the harlequins are also a organization like the last two. Anyone who wants can apply.
@@codyarcher3263 Yeah, but as far as we know they live in the black library, soooo maybe they reproduce naturally to increase their numbers? Who can know for sure.
Beside, there is a lot exodites and Craftworlders who joined dark elves, and lots of dark elves who become corsairs, exodites or even craftworlders so it may apt to all of them.
Reproducing naturally for eldar is also super slow and unreliable for some reason.
I think you're right. The number of Craftworlds and the size of Commorragh seem to always be slightly in flux though so who really knows which is largest.
@@Reddotzebra If they aren't careful (or enjoy it too much) then their baby might be claimed by Slaanesh before it's even born and come out dead and soulless
Craftworld Eldar are my favorite faction in 40K so I'm sure hearing Bricky calling everything about them dumb for an hour will be fun
Well..... It was fun.
He was actually pretty fair, all things considered.
Yeah kind of sucked to listen to people shit on a faction for no essentially no other reason then i pick that one to not like and they were broken in 2nd edition. Gives any one who wants to hear about Craftworld Eldar a pretty lame side of the discussion.
Nice to see the Eldar getting the attention from the Adeptus Ridiculous they won't ever get from GW
To bad they shit on them the whole time

The Eldar warned the emperor that Horus was corrupted by chaos, but the emperor did not believe them
The dawn of war did amazing job with the Eldar in their games
No they super did not
@@bluestormpony are you talking about the dawn of War three???
Far better portrayal than GW did.
Listen to the warlock or wraithlord lines in DoW 2 and tell me that isn't pognant stuff. The avatar and a few others from DoW 1 were good too. "I walk again, a god among mere mortals."
"You are our children. Dead though we are, we shall not abandon you." Every line from the dow2 wraithlord is just amazing.
@@nicholasdouglas2275 "Tell me of your craftworld. Is it beautiful?"
Exodites are in no way "primitives" though like briefly mentioned here. Maybe primitive to Necron or Aeldari at there peak. But to put it into perpsective the Exodites required three primarchs Vulkan, Ferrus Manuss & Mortarion at full legion strength to invade there world and they still held them for a while. With the Eldar farseer riding this giant Tetradactyl thing 1v2ing Ferrus and Vulkan and nearly winning.
The Exodites in this situation, they couldn't understand why they didn't flee from the three legions and it was discovered. *Spoiler for Promethean Sun* That these Exodites had held off the Dark Eldar raiders and had freed multiple human worlds captives including Vulkans very own people. It's why Vulkan when discovering the temple found the humans crying, preparing to ritual burn the half alive decaying corpse of a Wych the same Dark Eldar Wych that had killed Vulkans father and fought Vulkan when he was on the cusp of adulthood. It's why Vulkan exterminatused the entire planet because he knew he had doomed them to be raided and there was no way to protect them. (The Emperor also watched him and visited him during this battle, favouritism much? Also another example of the great crusade not being the best for all humans.)
(He didn't know he had burned the remnants of his people till later, this was part of the long arc of Vulkan feeling regret for burning an Eldar child and world. Later changing his mind and allying with other Eldar in the future.)
Wait he actually teamed up with some Eldar?
Bricky: "They lead war horsts"
That made me break out into mad giggles for the most stupid of reasons. "Horst" is actually a German name, and it took on the meaning of "bumbling idiot" first as a regional and now pretty common insult. An Eldar leading a bunch of Horsts into battle is somehow extremely funny to me. 😅
RIP to my fiance then, who's last name is currently Horst 😂
3:36 Shy always finds the best images to fit what they're discussing. Bricky is literally the Skyrim Nord supremacist hating on all the elves whenever he talks about eldar.
Yeah except he's right though.
“Every little emotion they have is magnified to the extreme”
Yeah guys it was just a polite conversation between two completely normal people, it definitely wasn’t the Emperor’s best ultraboy asking a _Xenos_ to join him on his travels, and that same Xenos definitely didn’t tease him and play coy, absolutely not. Just a conversation. No subtext whatsoever. She definitely didn’t have her eyes glued to his codpiece that whole time, no sir.
She wasn't so thirsty that the craftworlders were all wondering where their drinking water went.
that is why he is the bottom

Hey I love what you guys are doing. This show has become sort of a comfort show for me and it’s always nice to hear you guys talk about this crazy shit and having a great time at the same time
Marriage counseling between human and eldar would be waaaay too extreme for the Tau therapists
I think I've seen a image of this and it was fucking hilarious
@@maxace8306 where can I find this and please tell me the commissar is trying to be the voice of reason XD
To be fair, a civil conversation in Eldar culture is probably the equivalent of 3rd base for most Eldar.
So Robot Gorillaman has been to Eldar 3rd base...
The thing with khaine is that when he was fighting slaanesh and I think Khorne he got fucking bodied and he split into the different khaine shards which are kept by the aeldari as a last resort weapon (because khaine fucking hates them all) so he didn’t really eacape more just half died really fucking violently
Wait question. Why does Kaine hate his own people?
Jose Bill did a quick reread of some stuff and from the looks of it there is some mention of khaine accidentally absorbing some of the necrodermis of the nightbringer ( that guy that implanted the fear of death in every race except orks) and him also being the rage murder god who hates everyone. It also says that the eldar have to sacrifice people to him but don’t know if that’s a necessary thing or khaine being an ass
Khaine was the only one of the Eldar Gods who fought Slaneesh and survived her strikes. Barely mind you, but he managed to wrestle him long enough for Isha to escape... And promptly fall into Nurgles slimy jar. While he was ~getting smacked around~ fighting Slaneesh, just as he believed he could find an opening to escape, Khorne showed up, literally did the "Nothing personel kid" move and punted him into Slaneesh with such force Khaine shattered him into thousands of tiny pieces, simultaneously rocking Slaneesh hard enough to have her start thinking.
As to why he hates the Eldar, he doesn't hate them, he is just literally filled with magma and anger to everything that isn't himself
Local Man Too Angry To Die
I think the Dark Eldar are actually the most numerous of the Eldar, due to having essentially baby farms made of artificial wombs that birth drukhari in their thousands and then they're chucked into the slums of Commoragh to see who survives.
Since we will hear about Slaanesh again, I think it’s time for Fulgrim next time! Please!!
I SECOND THIS
I third this motion.
THE SILENCE OFFENDS SLANEESH!
In other news, I too approve of languishing in the Ecstasy of The Phoenician
I personally prefer the Mastery of the Cyclops
Nah brah, fucking Doom Rider.
On the whole Isha thing, Nurgle saved her from Slaanesh during the fall because he genuinely loves her.
But since this is Papa Nurgle we're talking about, ofcource he shows that love by giving her all the diseases he cooks-up and then very carefully doesn't notice when she whispers to mortals cures for all those diseases.
And yes he doesn't let her leave, but then again I'm really not sure what would happen to her if she ever left Nurgle's garden, would she just get om nommed by Slaanesh the moment she was out?
That's the big question, isn't it? Sure she's captive, but she'd die if she tried to leave the garden. It's like the princess locked into a tower by the king, because his rival would snatch her up and "have his way with her".
That and Nurgle is definitely the friendliest of the gods for sure. The other 3 gods require distinct hardships and services for power. Nurgle's just like "ah cool, here let me take away your feeling of pain, and great, now go spead my presents kid!". He's quite chill compared to the others since he knows he'll win in the end, so why be especially violent or agressive about it? He can afford to indulge the more positive side of his nature that the others can't as easily.
Wraithbone is basically plastic, except it's made using the metacreativity discipline of psionics, so it can look in many different ways and have all these neat properties.
It can just be a wall, but with power conduits made of crystal that is part of the wall, or a sword that works like a force weapon, or pretty much anything else you can imagine.
You can even make wraithbone that has sort of like a negative charge, so it works kind of like a blank, but only the Dark Eldar do this.
The product is called "tortured wraithbone", so yeah... I imagine them strapping a chunk of wall to a rack and just going at it with flensing knives, but the truth is probably far more horrible than that.
Bricky, why are you talking about space slugs?
Peeps want hear more about the fish people and their double-D thicc drones.

I like that khorne and Khaine are sometimes believed to be the same god which has some interesting implications
I guess Bricky hasn't recovered from Eldar PTSD.
I took 20 years off playing 40k, and when I came back to he Eldar are exactly the same. Can confirm that ALL models are old enough to drink.

It is strongly implied in the Baal series that the blood stones worn by Blood Angels are actually Eldar Soul Stones. This opens up the possibility of a wraith Sanguinius since Sanguinius wore the stones when he died.
Eldar shuriken weapons are made with wraithbone and are able to disrupt necron regeneration in the lore but this was never introduced into the tabletop.
I know they don't care about Warhammer Fantasy/the Old World (and neither does GA, kinda), but it warms my heart that they're still touching on Elven gods. Hearing the dudes mention Asuryan, Vaul, Lileath, etc. feels good.
The Craftworld Eldar are like that one washed up has-been celebrity who knows how much they have fallen to obscurity but they are too proud to admit it

Yes! I've been waiting for this! Thank you! And yes, a Phoenix Lords episode would be great, as would one on Eldrad. I mean, you could also do an episode on the specific craftworlds and all their specific stuff. As for the Eldar being liars and duplicitous, I always sort of saw that like Dr. Strange in Endgame being "If I told you we win, it might not happen" sort of deal.
I like how in this episode DK is reassuring bricky on some of his 40k facts and lore. Feels less student teacher more collaboration.
Harlequin's Kiss is the weapon you were thinking of, closer to a punching dagger, except it's a tube. Punch the tube into the target, fire out a bunch of monomolecular wires shredding the target from the inside then retract them ready for the next victim.

Listening to this a second time still triggers me how bricky forgot warp spiders were a thing
One thing that helps with understanding the fall of the Eldar, the Dark Eldar, and the Craftworlds adherence to the paths is simply how the Eldar mind is different than a human's. While the books claim that Eldar feel emotions more strongly or are more intelligent than humans, there hasn't been much actual evidence of this being true to the extent anywhere near as much as they claim it to be. However, what does seem to be the case is that they are incredibly efficient at learning and retaining skills, especially from multiple different disciplines, as well as how said different disciplines can be combined to compliment each other. Another way to look at it is to think of various inventive and passionate artists and creators who practice in multiple fields and came up with ways to blend them together in interesting ways, but instead of being relatively rare (say one-in-a-hundred or one-in-a-thousand).they make up 50% of the population, and in the case of the pre-fall Eldar had practically infinite amount of time and resources for their own passion projects, to say the least, it got more than a little over the top. An excellent example of this is star-riding, a popular sport amongst the Eldar before the fall, basically the Eldar would put on high-tech spacesuits or devices and wait near a star, and when said star emitted a large enough solar flare, the riders would literally ride said flare into space while doing crazy stunts and racing each other along the way. This society built on over-the-top sports, unprecedented spectacle, and unfettered displays of creativity sowed the metaphorical seeds that lead to pleasure cults, "ass-knifing", and Dark Eldar as a whole, and is a.major reason why even today, Slaanesh is strongly associated with art, the honing of skill, and the pursuit of perfection. The Craftworlders follow the paths to focus all their attention to honing one skill at a time, and disassociate the paths so they don't get tempted to mix them, with there being some indication that it isn't really a healthy way for them to function as a society, and is a major sticking point preventing the Craftworld Eldar from getting along with the other Eldar factions.
"Assknifed" is now gonna be a permanent part of my vocabulary.

Episode was great as always but I feel like you should revisit the Aeldari gods, Khaine got fucking cucked by Slaanesh and shattered into shards and Isha is only alive because Nurgle spared her from Slaaneshs' murder of the Aeldari Pantheon, the Aeldari gods are the old ones, Vaul created the Blackstone fortresses and Cegorach is the last old one scheming and enacting his revenge, on a craftworld hidden in the depths of the webway, a mind older than Tzeench with the Black Library containing the darkest secrets of the Ruinous Powers, everyone he knew died the day Slaanesh was born, and all he can do is laugh, with the scattered remnants of those who survived, he laughs because this entire time he has been setting up his joke, and the punchline is coming, soon.
Khaine made it out of Slaanesh's non-consensual cuddling session. Sort of. He's sort of torn asunder into fragments, and it was Khorne that saved him by keeping Slaanesh distracted.
I don't know why I didn't expect a Jerma Dumpy in one of these
I'm a guard player through and through, but I have always kind of liked the Eldar. I hope they get the range refresh they deserve sooner rather than later.
Great podcast. I had to laugh out loud when you guys brought up slaanesh while that squeaky sound in the background sounded a bit like slaanesh worship 😂😂😂 it's around the 7:53 mark
"Dong Cannon."
-Everybody said in the live stream
I feel that the way Bricky presents the Eldar is similar to the way Imperium authors in Black Library write about the Eldar. With more ass-knifing. Ah, the consistency.
As a Xenos fan, we shall employ more authors to write even more accolades of all Xenos!
Wecome fellow xenofan
Jokes on you, I like the bugs
There's some great bits of Lore on the Fall such as in the Path of the Dark Eldar omnibus where one of the Haemonculus is talking about the process of soul transference and says basically by the closing days of the fall things had gotten a little weird and Eldar started experimenting with soul transference putting their souls in new Eldar bodies, into animals, weapons, kitchen appliances, tanks, ships and even entire dimensions within the webway
So happy to see the channel skyrocketing!
Honestly happy how this episode turned out. As someone who is looking into Eldar as my entry point for 40k, it was SO refreshing to have something related to Eldar that wasn’t just shitting all over them.
Welcome to 40k and to the craftworld then! :) If you'd like to read more about Eldar, I'd really recommend the novels Valedor and Wraithflight; might be some of their best!
When Bonesingers are ready to work, they say "BONESINGER IZ READYYYYYY"
Thank you guys for putting out great content! I make sure to listen here and on Spotify!
Love these guys, part of the reason I got into Warhammer and the books.
This episode is "Man with lies that believes them facts, tells man who knows none of the facts."
51:30 so Bricky doesn't know about the Blood Axes and all of there shenanigans as they are the orks but with one extra brain cell
Orks with two brain cells sounds pretty dangerous.
Dark Eldar vastly outnumber Craftworlders, they don't have problems with the sexy times and absolutely no problem with cloning. In fact so many of the Dark-Eldar are actually vat-grown that the ones born naturally are forming a Elite in their society called Trueborns that are usually high ranking Cabal members or leaders. There is also no real size to Commorragh as it is a construct within the Webway that has portals to entire different parts of the galaxy that are within pocket dimensions again and it's kinda mindbreaking to to think about Commorragh, they can just catch Suns into pocket dimensions and put them into their "skies" if they need more light and shit like that. They easily number in the trillions, they just don't care that much about anything in the realspace and just do their own shit.
Also Bricky kinda undersold the Eldar here tbh, the "Masks" and the Paths they wield are usually a hyperfocus of their mind - so if an Eldar feels the call of Khaine they walk the Path of the Warrior and join one of the Aspect Shrines on their Craftworld, they become Aspect warriors and are now capable of wearing the Warmasks (its not a literal mask it's like putting on a different personality) that they put on when they are about to fight, it makes them hyperfocused on combat and allows them to outfight Space Marines in melee etc. If someone is not capable of putting off the Warmask anymore (after the fight), because either they walked the path of the warrior for too long or fate just kinda decides it, they become an Exarch and go on to found their own Shrine of Aspect Warriors. But it's not just the Path of the Warrior, it can be the path of the cook so that Eldar walks that path and becomes a fucking gourmet chef, maybe he walks the path of the painter and puts out the next Eldar version of the Mona Lisa.
And Farseers have a very specific task in battle and that is essentially being support combat psykers, they can tell the future and minimize casualties by having an aura around them that lets the other Eldar also have little glimpses of the future and dodge bullets, blades etc. which makes them very hard to kill in the lore. They also change Paths multiple times during their lifetimes, so maybe you seen an Eldar civilian that is now a gardener that used to be a Dark Reaper Aspect Warrior.
"Looks like he's gonna eat it [the spirit stone]", oh DK, you're couldn't be more right.
On The Masque of Vyle book, one of the harlequins eats a spirit stone to protect the troupe from Slaanesh.
Humanity had the war with the men of iron which makes the Horus heresy look like children yelling at each other in a sand box
Craftwords! My babies!!!
Super excited with this episode way to go you guys!!!
Down with the eldar!!! Rise to the Necrontyr!!!
Cats that enhance psychic power?
[cat stares into corner, suddenly warp happening]
Bricky. Bricky! I'm gonna be one of those guys! The secret for Harlequins is that the moment they pledge themselves to Cegorach, Big Bad Cego basically claims their soul in a way similar to Slaanesh; when they die, BBC gets their soul, straight up. If Slaanesh, or any of the God's, decides they want a specific Harlequin, Cegorach might step in and "play a game" to contest the claim, especially if He sees some greater use or amusement concerning them. He is the Laughing God, after all. He needs something to laugh at. If he loses, his opponent gets them. This is all old lore, so there might be changes or it's all gone into the Retconnian. Also, the cat things' name is pronounced "guy-rinks."
What I learned today
Eldar: *rubs lamp*
New God: *appears* Heeeeyyyy, eldareenos! Wut do Yaneed?
Eldar: *scribbles furiously* we needed a name for you, but that's covered now!
And also
*teleports behind you* nothing personnel, kid *knife ass*
30:30 Isha also survived but is being held captive by nurgle... she’s the goddess of good health and healing....
This was a good one, short promo and then went right into the topic.
Gotta say, the elder are probably the faction I know the least about so this was really cool!
"not subtle at all"
"a little on the nose"
Warhammer has never heard of subtlety.
Day x (idk how many) of asking for Fulgrim and Emp's Children + Rylanor. In the meantime to keep us EC fans entertained, please join me in song ahem; *AMIDST THE DESOLATE SOIL.*
@@Goreofadream So true to Magnus' orders
I take my company's reins, onto the surface we settle...
(ALSO, OHHHHH ELDEN RING)
And as we branch out and explore the wreckage...
@@codyevett2098 We uncover a terminal's long-lost message
A visage of the past and of beautiful cities
So what has occurred here, what are we missing?
@KarSoban With every second growing closer, I feel it near me!
@Jormy Gormy My mind shudders why does my heart race?
A psychic scream like a crushing weight
Originally it was believed that Ynnead would be born when all of the Eldar are killed; however Eldrad Ulthran in his sneaky shittiness sped up the clock on this by gathering the crystallized Farseers from multiple Craftworlds for a ritual to summon Ynnead. Though it was stopped by the Deathwatch it partially was successful causing Ynnead to slightly coalesce as a newborn god where around the same time he reached out to Yvraine leading to the founding of the Ynnari.
Ok, that clears things up a bit. I can't believe I thought Ynead would just end the Aeldari race when he/it showed up.
@@alexanderthegreat6682 Yeah basically what Eldrad did was, while working with the Harlequins he smuggled the crystalized forms of all the Craftworlds most powerful seers and performed a ritual on a moon containing a dust that enhances psychic phenomena and did the ritual which caused all the Craftworlds Infinity Circuits to synchronize; speeding up the clock on Ynnead so he came sooner rather than later
Id like to see a video covering the Emperors Children and Fulgrim or a video about the Harliquins and the Black Library. It would be nice to get a video about Magnus and the Thousand Sons but they're really popular so people are more likely to know about them.
AR at 49:29 "There's nothing there to SHIP!"
Me, who is filthy ship trash. "You underestimate my POWER!"
Being an Eldar fan is so exhausting. Not only does GW constantly crap all over them but almost any 40k fan you talk to craps all over Eldar too.
You can talk to anyone about the Imperium, or Traitor Legions, or Orks or Necrons, but you bring up Eldar and people just heckle you until you shutup.
It's lame. But ya know what isn't lame? This episode. Thanks for giving the Eldar some love
Eldar are like Ultramarines. Everyone loves to shit on them but they are arguably the best.
*plays with riptide model alone in the corner*
@@TheKnizzine i mean, to be fair, while annoying, it's power was only truely unleashed with the Taudar hybrids of 6th buffing the Tau access to all of the CWE buffs and such.
I just wanna say that Orks and the Imperium work together a lot… well, the imperium gets them as mercenaries anyway.
I hadn’t realized how much craftworld eldar ripped from fantasy’s high elves
I'm fairly sure Drukhari are actually the most numorous Eldar Faction, they tend to appear in the smallest numbers aside form perhaps Harlequins simply due to the fact that the only time they appear in realspace is as raiding parties.
8:11
I was not expecting Jerma on this channel. Good job Shy.
34:40
And again. You like Jerma, don't you Shy?
PLEASE MAKE AN ELDRAD EPISODE. MY SWEET TROLL BOI OF ULTHWE
