Please create more lore videos. This is the best Age of Sigmar lore video on RUclips. 10 years later there is still a vacuum of quality AOS lore content on this platform.
Nice to see they finally worked out their lore. I remember when AoS first started they were keen on telling the backstory and fudging out the rules but neglected to mention basic stuff like what constituted a Realm(was it a kingdom or a world), how the Stormcast interacted with other non-Chaos factions or how the common folk went about their day. There was many a player that wanted to role play in the new setting but couldn’t because they lacked any information to do so.
Enjoyed the video and is a nice overview of AoS for starters. Just to point out that Tzeentch resides in "The Impossible Fortress" at the center of the "The Crystal Labyrinth". The "Silver Towers" are the 9 structures that belong to the Gaunt Summoners which appear sporadically in the Mortal Realms which then connect to the labyrinth.
Cheers for that… I kept some of this thicker detail out of video for simplicity sake, just like I kept Slaanesh’s 6 inner circles generic. You are correct but it’s unwanted complexity for an Intro video and the Silver Tower is threaded throughout our game
really good Overview of all the Realms. Thank you very much for this good Presentation of the Realms. perfect for AoS Beginners and but for Old Soldiers too
@ThaUltimateHunter Tbh any human nation that isn’t Norsca or the Empire in old Fantasy is kind of a disaster. (And even then, Norsca is literally Scandinavia and the Empire is literally the HRE.) Kislev? That’s just Eastern Europe. Cathay is just China and Bretonia is literally France. Araby? Ind? Guess. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling it “offensive” or anything, I’m just calling it LAZY!
@ThaUltimateHunter I personnaly enjoy AoS, but given the knee jerk reactions of some people to anyone criticizing the lore (or the gameplay for that matter) it would seem it is the other way around.
My Beasts of Chaos hail from the Eight-Points, my Flesh Eaters are from Ulgu, my Khornite Mortals hail from the realm of Chamon, my High Elves/Lumineth Realm Lords are from Ghyran, my Dispossessed are of Aqshy, my Gitz are also from Chamon. Just to name a few.
Since we have other god-level models in the game, such as Nagash and Kragnos, do you thing we'll ever get a model for Sigmar himself? Or is he too powerful?
Simple version is a planet-like disc that stretch out insanely far(Shyish was mentioned to be 7 Earths across for instance) More complicatedly it would be accurate to say their own realities as the Realmspheres expand in the void and create their own landmasses, sub-realms and cosmic bodies. Their cosmic bodies reflect their realm so Ghur suns & stars fight eachother and are random while Ulgu stars will purposefully get you lost so most travelers use only Azyr’s stable stars for navigation and time keepers Hysh as a timetable sun.

Yeah it was pretty rough in the first 1-2 years... it slowly got better and it's actually in a decent spot now. Lots of good lore to enjoy and maps!

Was glad to hear you were doing lore vids. Can't wait to see more.
Cheers Bruce. Thought I’d give it a crack and help people get into the game
really good Overview of all the Realms.
Thank you very much for this good Presentation of the Realms.
perfect for AoS Beginners and but for Old Soldiers too
Cheers Kevin! Glad it was helpful to old soldiers like yourself too
Will be linking this video to everybody who asks me what is AoS!
That’s very kind mate. Thanks for sharing
Also I will fight anyone who says AOS has bad lore. The lore is fantastic and honestly I enjoy it more then the lore of 40k.
AoS HAD bad lore! (Thank God it got gut over time!)

I do enjoy that the imperium stand-in in AoS is not a fascist hellscape bent on killing everything that isn't a human.
@@MrFairbanksak1 I miss when the jokes in the fascist hellscape were more on the nose. The Thatcher Ork still makes me laugh when I think about it

Thanks for lore video, looking forward to see more such content in this channel
Thanks Storytellers. Definitely more on the cards
Master Class lore video
Thanks Elias
Good vid, never liked AOS but this has me somewhat interested. You did a good job of explaining the realms
Thanks Patches, I hope you do come over and play. It’s an enjoyable game
Great overview mate! Thank you! ❤
Love it. Very concise explanation of the setting.
Thanks Thunder ❤
Thanks coach, this is awesome stuff
Cheers Lee... glad you liked it
Fantastic video. 10\10

No sigmar or chaos, ONLY KHORNE!!!!!!
You did fine work in Aqshy Mr Khul
Tea for the tea god, I say!
Delicious green tea for me
Blood for the Blood God!!!
Ever since I found that they finally brought in normal humans as a TT faction, im thinking about starting an army.
It’s a good time to play humans in Cities of Sigmar. Great new sculpts and very viable army
@@AoSCoach
love me Guard, love me Empire, love me Cities.
simple as.
Death to the Gods!
FOR THE EVERCHOSEN!!
(AMAZING video coach!)
Thank you so much Alex 🙏
Amazing video, Coach! Where can i find those colorful maps (e.g. Khul's Keep)?
Found them in the Realmgate Wars. Those are lovely!
The maps were drawn from a wide range of resources and early books like Realmgate Wars had alot of abstract art maps
I bet on Warhammer Age of Sigmar! I'm happy that I wasn't mistaken!
Sounds like it was a solid bet. It was a rough start thats for sure
I wish I had started immediately at the loss of fantasy rather than being a bitter baby.
Slaanesh seems like it entered our world too.
Slaanesh never left, only got stronger
I just realized that the Tree Sentinels from Elden Ring are basically Stormcast ethernal!.
I don’t play Elden Ring but that’s cool… I’m sure there is plenty of cross over in fantasy lore
@@AoSCoach I was surprised too!
Honestly a lot of Elden Ring can hit into the AOS setting surprisingly well
@@TalinSilverbane true specially for the bosses
we need more!
There will be more... Part 2 is on the AoS Gods
Hmmm, which one of these dystopian tragedies would I choose to live in? Choices, choices!
It’s a great question…. Hopefully Azyr if you were lucky enough or Hysh.
Wait... is each realm an universe by itself or just an equivalent to a planet?
The simple answer is that it’s more like a planet but some realms have dimensions / plains within it. Shyish being a perfect example.
I think it's like a planet but each one is about 50 times the size of our planet.
Simple version is a planet-like disc that stretch out insanely far(Shyish was mentioned to be 7 Earths across for instance)
More complicatedly it would be accurate to say their own realities as the Realmspheres expand in the void and create their own landmasses, sub-realms and cosmic bodies.
Their cosmic bodies reflect their realm so Ghur suns & stars fight eachother and are random while Ulgu stars will purposefully get you lost so most travelers use only Azyr’s stable stars for navigation and time keepers Hysh as a timetable sun.
Khorne dominate aqshy actually
Khorne is definitely strong in Aqshy and during the Age of Chaos they dominated.
