@@hombreg1 his campaign was fun, it just bothered me how innacurate his bow was (though thats had a buff in the last update, so i might give him another try). It is kind of petty for me to dislike his campaign based on his combat ability compared to other lords but that just killed it for me.
@@Gorvar100 the book The Shadow King by Gav Thorpe is basically what he is reading from here. It is the second book in The Sundering trilogy, 1 Malekith 2 The Shadow King 3 Caledor.
The high elves tell stories of druchii to scare their children at night. The druchii dont tell stories of alith anar and his shadow warriors out of fear he might come in the night.
And his story is one of the few I like during the End Times. He basically snipes Evil Tyrion after an epic fight, shoots Malekith for the shits and giggles, and disappears into Athel Loren.
I liked it too he is not the forgiving kind so I really liked that he was the one who both saved and destroyed the elven chance in the end times at the same day
@@Hg-1-13yeah, I agree. They did my boy Belegar dirty. So because it doesn't matter what they say and they aren't going to fix it--too busy with shitmar--in my version he takes back 8 peaks, guts Skarsnik, and mounts Queek's rotten head on a pike outside. There. Wasnt hard. Why? Bc f those two for real. F em. #thatsagrudgin
I am to poor for patreon, but I turned off Adblock and watched like 6 advertisements over the length of this video, I hope it helps, if only a little :)
Wow dude. What an amazing retelling of this Elf's life. It was immersive, fun,.educational. I had to go back a few times because I needed to hear and understand some of the plot twists, worth the rewind. Thank you very much. This will make playing Alith Anar the sweeter
Hey man these types of in depth story vids are absolutely amazing, can you do more like this one? It is by far my favorite followed by the ever queen story as well so far
Great video of Lore, Alith Anar has always been my favorite Warhammer character and I have learned many new things from these two videos. That Alith Aanr is the grimdark version of a disney princess with all her talking to animals just makes it more fun and interesting. If nevertheless I am surprised at your mention that I did not participate in the final battle between Caledor and Malekith, my knowledge of it was that its participation was key to the victory, as I attack by surprise destroying the druchii war machines which was a factor decisive for the victory of Caledor. Maybe GW has modified it later (things are always changing) but it's the version I remember and just stare while I could stab the druchii in the back and hurt them does not sound like something the Shadow King would do. The version I remember includes the fact that she slept with Morathi, stole the stone from midnight and left. leaving it in the absolute most ridiculous. But maybe the novel compresses or changes the order of some things that it did, maybe that's why the differences I notice about the background I know. Also somehow their hatred flies in the very land of Nagarythe and now the earth hates the druchii, everything is hostile there, the wooden arrows of Nagarythe grow when they dig into the druchii as if they had thorns making them very difficult and dolorsas to extract and so on. This is the Shadow King, Alith Anar spiteful as a dwarf and like the White Dwarf apparently immortal for the treachery of Malekith. A great video, it was a pleasure to hear it.
just finished a mortal empire game with him, most fun I've had since Teclis. Alith Anar's buff for archer makes my army feel like a badass team when I got a good flank behind enemy team.
wowowow! thank you so much for your work on this epic story. i don't particularly care for elves but Alith is one badass character. i really hope he got some measure of peace and happiness after all that tragedy. what a great experience! cheers
1:22:13 - "dear Morathi...not dead yet BITCH?" 😂🤣🤣🤣 Did he really say that in canon??? Or is this paraphrasing. If he did, wow. Thats amazing. I love it!
Great job again! I wish they would add more lore to the game to increase immersion. The elven conflict should be much more “present” during the campaign imo.
Hey Inept, I was wondering if you could make a quick video for Warhammer book recommendations. I’d love to hear your opinions on some Warhammer fantasy lore books.
well done! sterling work indeed! what's that image you keep using for the crow messengers? the one with the shadowy effects on it? it's really well done, and i'd love to know how to find the original. thanks, and keep doing what you do.
Both. It's part of the island of ulthuan, but also it's own kingdom. There are 10 kingdoms on ulthuan, subject to the phoenix king. Think United Kingdom.
@@levgar5457 as far as I can tell from the fluff (and I might be wrong about this) the land is technically part of the union of ulthuan, as Alith isn't actually the king, just self proclaimed. But since the sundering nobody really lives there anyway, so it's just widely ignored. The shadow lands don't have any official representation as far as I can tell. My best guess is, GW doesn't really know either. And since the Age of Shitmar it's gone anyway.
@@Larry-nd7gv No offence to the voice actor. The total war team could have easily fixed it by just pulling down the pitch a bit. His voice would have worked better for a young noble or perhaps Felix. Alith Anar is one of the oldest and most grim characters in the setting, it just doesn't fit his personality or age.
This vid made me want to start an Alith Anar campaign
don't do it, it will make you hate Alith Anar, he isn't that great ingame
yolo everyone with Ambush....
meatloaf2 Wonky I like his play style.ambushing everybody, making hammer-anvil armies where the anvil ends up being your ranged units...

@@Visitormassacre "free-LC lords" are usually not as great as paid ones :/
Alith Anar is the leader of the High elves black ops
Literally Lord Batman.
"If you would suffer the same fate as I, then do as you guys are planning..." that Alith, he always had such a way with words.
Even the dawi would look upon Alith Anar and give a reaffirming nod.
@Lenia N. Ldzn The only thing the Shadow King needs is a book.
@@Gorvar100 You don't need a book of remembering grudges, when you basically live forever.
@@jondeoliveira8248 Bah! Elgi thinking....

Alith Anar is the night.

Its a shame the rest of the End Times is a completely insulting abomination, really.
There is nothing to like in the End Times.

the lame times never happened
So... Alith Anar is Batman if Batman was a psychotic Legolas Fanboy and massmurderer... I like it.
He more like punisher
Best lore Videos on YT
Love these long lore videos and how in depth you go
I am to poor for patreon, but I turned off Adblock and watched like 6 advertisements over the length of this video, I hope it helps, if only a little :)
Will you do Arkhan the Black one day. He is a amazing character in the books and is not always a loyal servent to Nagash

A great video, it was a pleasure to hear it.
Very goood production value, you need more recognition.
your way of storytelling is simply amazing keep on making content
So he's like a High Elven Vlad Tepes, pretty cool
I hope I can continue finding more high-quality lore videos like this one. Excellent work bro
"One fang, sharp fang!"
I’ve been waiting for this. I have something to listen to on long car rides
just finished a mortal empire game with him, most fun I've had since Teclis. Alith Anar's buff for archer makes my army feel like a badass team when I got a good flank behind enemy team.
You are amazing. I am a kid again listening to your stories as bedtime stories
Great vid.. i have never heard such an in depth story.. love it…
Now im on to the next story in line 😀
"Not dead yet bitch?" What a gangster.
More Nobleman on Maid action!
What is the song used in this video? I've been hearing that soft guitar for like 3 hours now over both videos and it's stuck in my head
fantastic narration
This is basically an audiobook.
Alith Anar : *High Elves Going Dark*
Could you please do more story videos. I really enjoye them. Specially while playing tw2. Keep up the awesome work.
Awesome work
best warhammer lore channel
7 dark elves disliked this video.
Just finished both parts! Great story, awesome job!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!
Great work! Love these long lores
wowowow! thank you so much for your work on this epic story. i don't particularly care for elves but Alith is one badass character. i really hope he got some measure of peace and happiness after all that tragedy. what a great experience! cheers
This was a great story thank you for sharing !!
...Honestly, at this point, I kinda wanna have a stealth-action game akin to MGS 5 where you play as Alith, or as a Shadow Warrior...
It's 2023 and I'm enjoying every episode
19:40 the greatest part of your story telling!!!!
HE is the king in the North
A beautiful masterpiece of a lore video. If anyone were to make a lore video about the goddess Lileath's role during the End Times, i hope it;s you!
Sooo....chances are Alith had kids with that maid?
Makes sense, who cares the descendants of the Shadow King has commoner blood?
Maybe the the Elyrian Princess too?
1:16:36 this scene is what makes Alith my favorite character for the high elfs brutal tragedy 😢
1:22:13 - "dear Morathi...not dead yet BITCH?"
😂🤣🤣🤣
Did he really say that in canon??? Or is this paraphrasing. If he did, wow. Thats amazing. I love it!
Alith Anar basically reminds me of an elven John Wick
Great video
Great job again! I wish they would add more lore to the game to increase immersion. The elven conflict should be much more “present” during the campaign imo.
SO Alith Anar is Batman ?
Dude literally thought the same thing lol
Kinda if Batman killed all his villains hung their entrails from trees and murdered their families sure :)
@@theineptgeneral8325 Now that's my kind of Batman.
Batelf!
More like the Punisher.
Awesome job! Thanks so much 👍👍
1:36:25
Personal favorite moment in this entire story.
Excellent video
Alith is so hard that rumour has it his manservant is sir chuck of house Norris
good day saw the new Halloween and now this right after
Hey Inept, I was wondering if you could make a quick video for Warhammer book recommendations. I’d love to hear your opinions on some Warhammer fantasy lore books.
You could make an rpg out of this narration alone
Loved the video inept plz do nore like this
well done! sterling work indeed! what's that image you keep using for the crow messengers? the one with the shadowy effects on it? it's really well done, and i'd love to know how to find the original. thanks, and keep doing what you do.
Great story!
how long did this war take?
So how is he in the warhammer game if he is dead?
1:24:20
Now he's just player hating
a long but interesting story, nice wile playing the game so i dont mind the lenght realy
yeah!
So is Nagarythe apart of Ulthuan? Or is it an independent kingdom?
Both. It's part of the island of ulthuan, but also it's own kingdom. There are 10 kingdoms on ulthuan, subject to the phoenix king. Think United Kingdom.
thank you, but does it serve the phoenix king? because Alith Anar said that no one shall rule Nagarythe?
@@levgar5457 as far as I can tell from the fluff (and I might be wrong about this) the land is technically part of the union of ulthuan, as Alith isn't actually the king, just self proclaimed.

Oh ok, thank you for your help.
Why do them ever make an anime about warhammer?
No just no never bring up anime with warhammer
*FCKING HERETIC*
as a opinion I think if they did it like berserk it would be watchable and maintained a rule filler equals heresy
I mean... there is already a maid romance, and plenty of bloodshed.
If the the style of Berserk and Castlevania, I’ll stand with you till the End Times
Who writes the lore for these characters? Was this all done in the 80s?
super
He's an awesome character, I just can't stand his childish voice in total war.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels that way
How dare you call Dylan Sprouse’s voice childish? 😂
@@Larry-nd7gv No offence to the voice actor. The total war team could have easily fixed it by just pulling down the pitch a bit. His voice would have worked better for a young noble or perhaps Felix.

I like me some WH Lore Double Feature
I love u uwu
Love the story but hate the screaming please talk and stop shouting! It with help a lot!
