The new Votann novel (high kâhl’s oath) comes out in just over a week (16/11), so maybe they'll retcon all this, but even if so, hope you all enjoyed the vid!
There were a bunch of those back when the Scholar was using the Forbidden Voice in the style of gruesome nature documentary. I don't know if they ever got around to reposting them in the new non-heretical voice.
Gotcha, I still need to do a follow up on the plants of Catachan, and also some content for the jungle fighters themselves, but its certainly in my mind to do
I dont really know anything about WH40k, but for the last few months ive been listening to your videos while falling asleep. So just wanted to say: Thank you for making calm lore videos with that "new" soothing voice, waay better than Davids Attenboroughs
I wake up and am immediately confronted by five or six notifications of videos. Some i wave away immediately, others I add to "watch later" but Scholar's Lore...those are the videos you click first thing and get that bad boy into your video history right off the bat
"Who would wish to make a deal with deranged slavers whose only currency is pain and torture?" _The Drukhari and Night Lords have signed a new trade deal_
Oh I'll have plenty of time for condemning the damnable few who engage in traitorous acts at some point soon, but we all need a nice relaxing break from time to time
Great video as always. The thing I don't like about the design of the Leagues: where is the Grimdark? They are missing things like the grinding, callous bureaucracy of the Imperium, the hopelessness of the Aeldari, or the many corruptions of Chaos. I feel like the Tau were criticized for being too "Noblebright" when they came out, and in subsequent years the possibility of Ethereal mind control, strict caste system, and Farsight rebelled to bring them more into line with the feel of 40k. Hopefully future releases will similarly expand on why the Leagues of Votann are more than just dwarves in space and belong in the mythos of the horrific future.
The Votann A.I. sounds semi similar to the Eldar Infinity Circuits in that they both can hold souls of the deceased and preserve their knowledge. Maybe some dark age scientists found out about them and then tried to replicate the Infinity Circuit with A.I. technology. Not sure but I think it's cool the Votann A.I. is alive in some way
these videos are great, the info is top notch, and the AI voice is spot on. the only thing that takes me out of it is the repeated, and very specific grammar issue of unnecessarily adding “of the” and “of” all over the place. i am a miserable person and this is how i feel.
maybe use chat gpt to do a quick grammar and syntax check before generating the voice? i don’t know. does it matter? whatever. keep up the good work. love your stuff. i’m gonna go eat some bran flakes and get a head start on next year’s income taxes.
This is really good but I'd like if you cite your sources. I don't think the new novel is out and content based on the Codex and White Dwarf has pretty much covered what little lore has been published. I dig the inclusion of fanart.
No. It doesn't. AIs are individuals. Those operating during the Dark Age clearly felt aggrieved by how humans treated them, so they rebelled. The Votann are treated as honored elders and leaders, so they take a paternal view of the Kins. Also, as Kin minds are uploades into the Votanns, they are invested in the Kin.
They have been missing during 6 editions, and GW claimed they where never real. You had them in 1st and 2nd edition. They got brutally removed in 3rd edition, and they claimed they had not been real, until 9th, where they brought them back. Still, they have not been given any real lore yet. I suspect our supreme scholar might even have borrowed some fandom lore, just to get enough for this video.
Grim Darkness he says, how can there be grim darkness with the sage words of our revered Scholar illuminating our ignorance? Not to mention the gentle light of the Astronomicon and our glorious Emperor (praise be! And praise be to the Omnissiah!) I'd be writing this in High Gothic Binaric but the UA-cam heretics do not allow the holy tongue to be uttered!
@@Scholarslore you have no IDEA how many times I tried posting a reply to last weeks comment that I converted to binary, and it wouldn't show - whether YT thinks ok better get channel owner to check before this goes through or what, but it was killing me that I couldn't do it. In the end in my google acct I could see I had five comments all the same - hence the apology in case they were actually appearing for ppl...but I think they're just Omnissiah-less heretics anyway. Praise be!
I don’t really know what squats are except for that they were around in 1st edition ? But to me it seems clear these guys aren’t gw reviving the squats just them filling the dwarf format species slot with something up to date
they are both Sqats - ,Prospektors and other "Dwarf alike" are just the ones that stayed in individual groups and sticked with the Imperium of man - while the Votann resorted to cloning and bots out of necessity .
I'm just happy it's not a blatant rip off of sir David Attenborough. It should be a human though, there is no need for everything to be AI driven. If the complaint is that it costs money. There will be limitless amounts of human volunteers. If the complaint is that it takes time then you must learn patience because that is what it is.
It's pretty clear the Votann problem is just a memory issue. Too many minds downloaded into the Votann, slowing and corrupting its ability to function.

ROCK AND STONE!
For Karl!
Rock and Stone To The Bone
If you rock and stone, you're never alone!
ROCK?
AND
STOOOOONE!
I knew I'd find my kin here!
Squats lore is just short stories....thank you, I'm here all millennium.
You monster. 🫡🤣🤣🤣
Best stand-up of the galactic core right here
@@huh8662 "SHORT??"
ITS GOIN IN THA BOOK, MANLING
WOW LOL
The only AI voice channel I don't utterly loathe. Thanks for the lovely upload!
Ashen Hollow is good except for the videos that have awful, discordant "music" in the background.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
It takes a bit more finesse than most people are capable of doing.
BROTHERS OF THE MINE, REJOICE
SING, SING, SING WITH ME
RAISE YOUR PICK AND RAISE YOUR VOICE!
Swing, swing, swing with me!
Down and down into the deep
Who knows what we find beneath?
Been looking forward to this. The Leagues of Votann are the faction I know the least about so it’s good to get a large overview video.
Thanks, I figured that since there isn't too much lore on them at the moment, that a broad topic like this would be more appropriate.
Rock and Stone!
It never gets old!
Man, I really enjoy these videos.
Much appreciated
Saw this on my Feed while at work.
Waited the rest of the day with anticipation to hear the loremaster!
Keep up the good work sire!
Hope this was an enjoyable one to listen to, and thank you!
Thats what i needed since last week I grabbed yaegirs for kill team.Literally,was searching your channel for this!Well done as always!
Ayy good timing then! I almost bought some Hernkyn whilst writing their bit, think their models are really sick
@@Scholarslore gotta love those trenchcoats of yaegirs!
I would love more lore on the Catachan jungle.

Ah thank you so much, it's very much appreciated
Nice! Sorely need for lore for this race
Indeed, I'm hoping GW does a new codex release for them fairly soon, purely so that they can bring some new lore/models into the picture
I am a squat and I'm digging a hole! Diggy diggy hole!
diggy diggy hole
Hooray a new episode from our dear Itorater.
A consistently overlooked faction; too often given short shrift or otherwise held in low esteem. .
The poor little fellas
they certainly seem to have gotten the short end of the stick!
@@MrLaprius They would be upset at this dialog if they were to read it. But fortunately, all these jokes go right over their heads.
@EricDaMAJ if they do catch on, we might have to lay low for a little while.

Ah thank you very much!
Ive been waiting for you to make this video! HYPE!
As always marvelous work! Keep it up

Thank you for the educational lecture Reverend. Not your normal fire and brimstone preaching.
Oh I'll have plenty of time for condemning the damnable few who engage in traitorous acts at some point soon, but we all need a nice relaxing break from time to time
Please oh great Votann, grant us a vision of the Iron Hands. The flesh is WEAK!
The galaxy has split in two!
*Diggy hole stops*
Dwarves don't spring up from the ground, that's nonsense. They're cloned.
The Ancestors are watching!
I love the name "The Cicatrix Maledictum" - it sounds SO classically evil.
The book comes put on my birthday!
Rock And Stone
i love the fact he states on his videos that its an AI speaking . its the reasson i stayed
I'm just happy it's not a blatant rip off of sir David Attenborough.

I demand enough units to field a full army! I want my death train!
I sure do love me some space dwarves
Mushroom, mushroom!!!
51:53 that's going in the book! 😤
ROCK AND STONE FOR THE EMPEROR.
Wait. No, not for him
FOR MONEY
HI HO HI HO! Its off to 40K lore we go!
May the Emperors light embrace you and bring you peace…
ROCK AND STONE BROTHER!!
For the algorithm and the omnissiah
We need a league to officially house the Deep Rock Galactic Mining Company.
OH MY GOD! GW HAVE CONFIRMED THAT TRANCESTOR CORES ARE CANON! SOOOOOO INCLUSIVE 🏳️🌈
ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS!
This is really good but I'd like if you cite your sources. I don't think the new novel is out and content based on the Codex and White Dwarf has pretty much covered what little lore has been published. I dig the inclusion of fanart.
From the sound of it the guys should be easily able to completely defeat the imperium and the mechanicus. They have way more powerful technology.
If you don’t rock and stone then you ain’t goin home
the squats reminds me of the sontaran from doctor who
16:46 santa?!
Teach the children their future history, for they yearn for the mines.
The existence of the Votan puts the lie to the Imperial claim of the AI rebellion.
No. It doesn't. AIs are individuals. Those operating during the Dark Age clearly felt aggrieved by how humans treated them, so they rebelled.
The Votann are treated as honored elders and leaders, so they take a paternal view of the Kins. Also, as Kin minds are uploades into the Votanns, they are invested in the Kin.
Nice
ROCK AND STONE EVERYONE
Where are all my DRG kindred at?
Rock and STONE
If you dont rock and stone you aint comin home
ROCK AND STO- wait sorry wrong franchise. PRAISE THE OMNISSIAH
Kinergy
Diggy diggy
Voice sounds a lot like the narrator from Myth: The Fallen Lords.
Diggy diggy hole💪⛏️
We’re rich!
Still waiting for Knights part 2
I am pretty sure the iron kin are in fact sentient right
How is this the first time I'm hearing that 40k has dwarves?
They have been missing during 6 editions, and GW claimed they where never real.

I fuckin love to touch my farts. I can make it do tricks, its super easy and i only shit myself one time.
That sucks bro. I shit myself everytime I try to touch my farts.
How did they overcome replicative fading ?
If they did not then they would not be here.
Clearly, they did. It's sci fi. They figured it out. You may as well ask them details how the Emperor made Primarchs.
Karl would approve of this
In the most recent Lelith Hesperax Novel, a group of Kin are indeed captured by raiders and brought to Commorragh to be used the arenas, FYI.
Steve ?!?! I wonder...
Diggy Diggy Hole!
That song needs to be played if they make a movie with the votann
How can someone call the Kin abhuman or mutants and at the same time deny common genetic origins? Both terms imply genetic kinship, pun not intended.
Space dwarfs
wait so there is more lore that's not just rock and stone and diggy diggy hole?
Short bois unite!
Hilariously, Google helpfully translated this to "Unite wood shorts!" 😆

Sorry, but all the true Squats fans know the Votann ARE NOT Squats.
The Ironhead Prospectors are closer to the idea of the original space dwarfs.
Interesting.

You use to much of the same pictures its confusing because same pictures dont mean it has something to do with this story verry annoying
Can you stop adding so much music to the videos. Some ambiance is fine but the last one it was distracting from Mr Attenborough's dulcet tones 😋
