The lore master is back in the glorious Mortal Realms!
Also on this point: “I don’t know what Dracothion is doing out there, maybe just hunting for garbage that floats past”
That is what he does. In the AoS1 books his favorite hobby is collecting debris of destroyed worlds Chaos rampaged through and recycling them for new celestial objects in the Mortal Realms.
That’s how he met Sigmar when he was floating through the void on the molten core of the World-that-Was, Dracothion named it Mallus and planned to turn it into a moon but then saw Sigmar and breathed life into him where their friendship began.
The biggest thing I wonder about is how they maintain their numbers. Not for Skinks and co, but onna societal level.
In WFB they started as a global empire with all kinds of scifi weapons like laser spears, artifical limbs and such. However they took the brunt of the attack of chaos and were reduced to fragments in Lustria and the Southlands. Especially no new Slann would be spawned after the coming of chaos, so each was irreplacable. And many spawning pools were lost, how to make new ones was unknown or never done. Next to loosing most of their high tech, except for relics for chosen heroes.
Those which escaped the End Times were a fraction of a remnant so to speak. Not enough to dominate a single planet even, and the mortal realms are much more massive. And even their temple ships are lost.
So how do they maintain themselves on a societal level?
Regarding Dracothion, the Seraphon believe him to be a servant or creation of the Old Ones. Some of the Skinks even believe him to be an aspect of the Serpent God Sotek.
Actually. Lizardmen can communicate with the other factions. Skinks are perfectly capable of learning and speaking with other species and some cities of sigmar have skink diplomats communicating the wills of their slann masters to mortal races.
And the battletome now makes it explicit that the Starborne are also tangible living beings still. They aren't purely magical energy beings anymore canonically and come from Azyr touched spawning pools. That is at least what the 3rd edition battletome says.
Aaaand Skink are not more limited in intelligence. They are scouts and such but also wizards, priests, diplomats, emmisaries, advisors. They are very intelligent.
Awesome to see some content on the Seraphon. Although the video has a lot of weird audio transitions, sometimes the last word of your sentences were getting cut off.
I was actually under the impression that the Skinks were capable of verbal communication with other species. Granted they would speak in their own, lizard-esq dialect, but could still do so.
Also, and I mean this only as constructive feedback, it seems that the editing of this video is a little strange. Many of your sentences cuts off and immediately transitions into your next thought.
since we are back in AOS, i have gotten new battle tomes recently and there is so much i want covered. but i will be keeping it one thing at a time.
from beasts of chaos 3e, i would like you to cover the turnskin plague/curse
on page 21 in the timeline and on page 12 under The Great Howling, its essentially a curse/plague that causes humans to become beastmen, and whats really scary about it is the transmission vector; that being stories or tales about the beastmen. its not even safe to talk about them.
Is there any reason not to think the world's destruction was part of the Great Plan, and all that business about realigning continents and maintaining the Geomantic Web was about creating the conditions for the Mortal Realms to form in the aftermath?
I've loved most of the seraphon line for years, but the saurus being bad sculpts kept me off for a really long time. Jumped at the chance to get the new box. Can't wait to stock up on saurus!
I want to know who is going to be heading the Age of Sigmar Cinematic Universe, there is so much in the universe that you can make an adventure or a 3 part movie on
THE PROPHECY WAS TRUE!
It’s DinoTIME.
Hey Dough, I think there are a few problems with the audio.
YES!
Good to see you back in the Mortal Realms, Doug!
Hey welcome back to AoS!!
The lore master is back in the glorious Mortal Realms!

Who would win, the W'adrhun or the Seraphon?
Or would they look at each other and become friends because of big dinos?
“Who are the Seraphon?”
Every little kid’s dream, space traveling dinosaurs who ride dinosaurs.

Keep up the good work!
