    This video is likely to be the shortest and least informative. With that in mind, I thought it best to get it out of the way!
    Unlike Dorwinion or the AA, with whom we really spent time on a backstory, Khand has very little lore created about them.
    I hope you enjoy nevertheless!

    As much as I respect Christopher for keeping his fathers works as they were, I sometimes wish he'd picked up where his father left off.

    I like the idea of khand being unknown, its like how the mongols were to the europeans

    "Variag" was an old Russian name for the Vikings. It turned into Varangian when said vikings came to Byzantium through the Rus.

    I would just like to say, Galu, that your videos have really helped with my mental health, as wierd as that sounds. When I'm having a crisis moment, the best thing to do is find a distraction, but there is very little that can distract me and help me relax. Your videos tend to do the job though. I guess it's a mix of loving the subject matter and your great-for-RUclips voice and accent.
    Having some kind of media on hand, that I know will almost always help me calm down, has made a huge difference to my life over the past few months, especially considering the quarantine.
    I don't want to come across as a gushing fanboy or anything, I just wanted you to know that for every rude commenter out there, there are probably several more people just like me. We tend to be the quiet ones, though. So, a very sincere and heartfelt thank you!

    Great to see some special events out east where most of the major action isn't happening. Gives you a reason to play these smaller factions.

    Another great adaptation. As much fun as canon lore seeing how the transition is made. I think that Mongols is closer; especially with a name like "Khand", just drop the "d" and that's got it. What it appears to me in th "canon" is this: What would have happened if the Norse, as they did with Russua and Ukraine, had gotten far into the northern Steppe to the area of Ulan Bator?

    Variag/Варяг is a Russian word meaning a Varangian indeed - a Scandinavian mercenary and in early medieval Russia a member of the ruling class. Tolkien was likely aware of that hence the axes.

  • @freakrx2349
    @freakrx2349 3 года назад +1

    I think Tolkien may have based Khand off Kievan Rus. The Variags were based off the Varangians who were Norse mercenaries that traveled to Eastern Europe and the Middle East to serve as mercenaries. The Variags were mercenaries (perhaps Northmen who went east and fought under Morgoth and Sauron). Kievan Rus was also a place of trade between Europe and Asia.

    We need to drag Tolkien out of the afterlife and interrogate the shit out of him.

    Any chance you could talk over a map of the extreme east coast of the continent?

  • @glassyeti2342

    I know you removed the previous faction videos from DaC for the sake of file size but I think the second part of the video would make a great intro video for when you started a new game as Khand. This could be an additional utility for this already great videos.

    Do you plan on creating more lore about them to match Dorwinion and the AA, or are you content with them being as they are?
