- This video will delve into the lore of Norsca, everything from the economy to the geography! Thanks so much for watching.
Whoo!! 100 subs! Keep it up, thanks so much everyone!
NONE OF THE MUSIC OR IMAGES IN THIS VIDEO BELONG TO ME. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNER AND/OR CREATOR.
Music was mostly the Cylinder Album by Chris Zabriskie.

#Norsii in 2020! Its absolutely awesome to find your huge wealth of lore videos to listen to while playing total warhammer :p
I love long videos, so in my opinion just continue with long videos!
+Loremaster_of_Sotek I agree, love the long videos that i can leave on in the background.
There was a time when describing norsca as "neutral" people like men of the empire. In the journal which was a add on magazine to the white dwarf. Riding mammoth and bears. Against the evil of chaos.
#Norsii
love your long lore videos, perfect bed story material!
Just stopping by to say thanks for all these great lore vids
starting to look forvard to these. keep it up!
Thanks Sotek,great video
We're coming for you, Southlings!
Do something about the norse dwarves please
Great and informative video. Trying to know more about the lore while waiting for TW: Warhammer's release, abd your vids help a lot :)
Love the video ,and would like to see a nippon lore in the future and i hope i'm not just a voice in the dark here
Great video Loremaster of Stotek
Great stuff! Keep it up!
This is a well done lesson !
Mentally prepping my self to start making my own Chaos Warrior plate armor. This video is helping.
I know it's been a while since this video came out, but I think this is still gorgeous. Would be awesome to have s comprehensive video about Kurgan and maybe Hung. These long lore videos are great and I somehow never tire of them.
I loved this!
Mathias Eliasson made a fucking splendid, Norse armybook. One of the armies were the Esjgard norse, which are the vargs, aeslings and graelings. The other is the Midgard army, who are united under an incredibly powerful, norse king, who's an ally off the Empire and Kislev ( not really an ally, more like a trader partner ). He also made really cool armies for Kislev, Nippon, Cathay and Ind. Really ambitious projects, really wellmade. I urge you guys to check it out.
EDIT:
As for the lore on Norsca itself, I would take what you read on Warhammerfb wikia with almost mountainous piles of salt. Alot of the stuff that's written about the norscans there are made to make them look like animals. That isn't the case. All the cannon fluff from Liber Chaotica, the 7th edition Hordes of Chaos as well as a couple of other good reads states the norscans around the sea of Claws are normal people.
Yes, they worship ''aspects'' off the chaos gods. Yes, they are savage raiders and warriors. But they are also people. They have families, they are fishermen, shipwrights, traders and hunters. There are people from Marienburg and the Empire heading there to trade, many of them befriend the norscans. Norscans and nordlanders have even traded wives. There are also hundreds of norscans who head to Marienburg to work as mercenaries. They are not slaves of the ruinous powers like the Kurgan or the champions roaming the wastes. Not even the northern tribes off the aeslings, vargs or graelings are completely subjugated by chaos.
The thing about the realm of chaos is that it is formed on the basis on mortal expectations and beliefs. If a norscan tribe believe the aspect of Tzeench he is worshipping is a benevolent, protective figure, that aspect of Tzeench will make a presence felt in the realm of chaos.
Since the norscans worship aspects of these gods, these aspects exist in the chaos realm as their own, personal gods, separate from the real Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle and Tzeench. In fact, Sigmar, Khaine, Ulric, Gork and Mork are all aspects off Khorne as well. The only difference between these people and the norscans is that the norscans have considerably higher risks for mutations, which they view as blessing from their gods. And why wouldn't you? It's so much easier to kill things with three arms instead of 2.
So all in all, this is a fairly well balanced video. Although I think it's important to stress that all norscans have a different perception of their gods and that affects the way their gods are.
+Chiraq's Max Payne Most of the stuff on Warhammerfb wikia is taken more or less wholesale from official lore. Like, literally copy-pasted. In any case, most of that stuff you've mentioned regarding the Norse is either retconned material or just plain fanfiction.
In any case, the Kurgan really aren't that different from the Norse as far as religious convictions go. In fact, the Norse uphold Khornate worship far more readily than the Kurgan, which you can find in the Liber Chaotica, also.
+Hamza Changazi funny, I didn't know the warriors of chaos army book, hordes of chaos armybook and liber chaotica was fan fiction but hey..
Chiraq's Max Payne No, but everything about Erik Redaxe, the exaggerated divide between North and South Norsca, Olric, Sigmar being an aspect of Khorne, etc. is.
And besides, if you had read the armybooks properly, you'd know that the Norscans are "the very epitome of the Warriors of Chaos".
Not to mention that the Liber Chaotica is just plain irrelevant now. A lot of its assertions, like the Norse having to flee with Chaos invasions rather than join up with them in earnest is pretty much contradicted by every other piece of Norscan lore. Hell, it was contradicted even in the Hordes of Chaos armybook, which said that the Norscans "leave their homes in force to take up arms alongside the daemons of the Chaos Hordes".
+Hamza Changazi I just praised Matthias for writing a good armybook, which I found more interesting than the current fluff. That's just my 2 cents.
Chiraq's Max Payne If you like it, that's fine. Just don't tout it about as if it was actual canon.
Personally, I feel that Matthias's armybook took everything that made the Norse unique (Chaos, mutations, daemons, dark magic) from other fictional Vikings, excised it, and replaced it with a lot of generic Norse mythology.
As for a lot of the fluff in those books? Taken mostly from Jackdays' excellent Norsca supplement on Kalevalahammer.
#Norsii
This was a pretty cool video. I'm just really getting into this and it's really dope.
I am a HUGE 40k fan and originally dismissed fantasy as a lame tolkien fanfic thing. But looking at sigvald, the dwarves, etc... i like this a lot, a lot more condensed than 40k (a great thing.)
Btw, do you think they'll do to 40k what they did to fantasy? I see some hints but as someone not here for the end times, i wanna recognize the signs
Without fantasy there would be no 40k haha. Learn respect
Best Norsca video on the internet.
#Norsii Love your vids, keep up the work!
They call bears Beowulf this is actually very accurate as in old English beowulf the word used for bear actually was translated exactly as bee wolf
It's arguable whether or not the Norscan dwarfs are actually wiped out since the 8th edition Dwarf army book that came out after the Warriors of Chaos one notably retcons the destruction of Kraka Drak.
Then again it's likely that CA will take the most convenient route and not put dwarfs in Norsca.
+Dalakh Sarothal Kraka Drak is confirmed a hold in TW:W. So the norse dwarves are still booling.
Chiraq's Max Payne Yes and I'm very happy about that. :)
I understand that Borkill the bloodyhanded is important and all, but what about Surtha Ek , humm? You speak about Norska and forget to mention her greatest champion?!
#Norsii Very enjoyalbe video. Can't wait to see how the marauders will look.
#Norsii :P Great video as always lots of great info. On Kraka Drak though, the 8th Edition Dwarf army book does not list it as having fallen, so Im going to assume that sufficient Dawi survived to rebuild. It also places a norse Dwarf hold called Kraka Ornsmotek further to the west. A little Dwarfen addendum :) Thanks for the upload!
I'm not familiar with the Dwarf army book, but would it be possible Kraka Drak has lost contact with the rest of the Dwarven empire. Thus the southern dwarfs technically still consider Kraka Drak standing while it may or may not have fallen
Great video!! Do you plan on doing some more region descriptions and breakdowns? Really like how you presented it.
#Norsii This video wasn't all that long. I'm looking forward to videos about Sylvania, various Dwarf holds (and some of the more interesting grudges if you could, maybe a whole video about them) also Nekahara and the Druchii.
Also, I was wondering, do you do 40k?
#Norsii I watch all your Warhammer vids to the end!👍
#Norsii Very well put together. I am a big fan of Warhammer already for quite many years but I never read much material on Norsca. This gave me more knowledge. Also, are you going to be do the Kurgan tribes or move down to Kislev next? The Forge World book "Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos" has a lot of lore on the Kurgans if you didn't already know.
Also small note, you mentioned the Ungols being the ancestors of the Kislevites, though I thought they had only partial Ungol blood and the mainly they descended from Gospodar tribes coming from the east and a little mix of Norsii. The Ungols live in northern Kislev (i.e Praag, Troll Country etc.) while the Gospodars live in the southern and western parts.
easily #norsi , I love your vids !
#Norsii #Iwatchallyourvideosinfull
Love how in these early days 42 minutes is considered atrociously long xD
Next in my list is Wood Elves PART ONE at 1 hour and 17 minutes, yes please!
#norsii thanks for the video!
#Norsii great content! Thanks :)
Damn it feels good to be a Viking.
+Loremaster_of_Sotek do you think that we will see different factions of chaos like khorne nurgle and tezeech ect or a mix of units with the chaos undivided one you unite the tribes giving chaous a bit more flavor rather than just rofl stomping everything on the map?
+Loremaster_of_Sotek also it would be nice to specialize your army to have different buffs like a plague buff for example if you have more of a nurgle type army.
Bidmartinlo so your a traveler?
Eat, drink, feast, party, fuck & fight, then dying gloriously in the blood of your enemies in honourable death befitting a warrior, having a song made in your honor, then only to go to an afterlife where even more eating, drinking, feasting, partying, fucking & fighting awaits, you bet your ass it sure is! :D
i know im a bit late but i just found this video and i wanted to ask you something....is there any information about what happens to norse peasents if they die? we know that warriors and champions go to a sort of valhalla in the chaos realm if they prove themselves worthy. but what about the smiths, farmers and builders? i heard that their soul or essence becomes part of the chaos gods or demons giving them strenght, however i cant confirm if this is true.
#Norsii Watching fictional superviking history motivates me on the treadmill
These Geographical "lessons" are stupendous! #Norsii
Pretty cool video. I love playing this culture on Total War: Warhammer II. I hope they receive more DLC on Total War: Warhammer III! #Norsii
#Norsi Nice video!
Great video LoS! I found this video the most interesting thus far.
What a demented and deceived society the Norse are in Warhammer. Such mindless devotion to cruel gods who have no true love or care for their followers. Very sad.
Question though, has there ever been any Norse tribes who abandoned Chaos worship, and took up faith in Sigmar? Or would you say that the Norse are the most heavily corrupted race of humans, and are nearly inseparable from the influence of Chaos?
***** Thanks for the reply!
Do you know the name of this evangelist eaten by the Troll, and was this from a novel - if so which one? I'd love to read about it!
Someone should turn Elder Scrolls Skyrim into a badass Warhammer Game!
good video
Thought ogre grail knight How terrifying would it be
I'm guessing you used some information from Warhammer wiki for this video? I wrote the Norsca page on that site, so cheers!
***** Oh that's great too! It means I was using my references correctly! Keep up the great work. Hope you come back to Norsca one day.
based on the way total war games use settlements to create areas do you think the same will be applicable here? do you think each of these areas will have a capital? if so what would they look like both lore wise and what we might expect on the battle map?
given also the number of special locations do you think creative assembly intends on includeing some of these in the game, such as the monolith and the fortresses?
please review Grombrindal!
#Norsii in 2022 :3 binging your backlog of lore vids
36:48 The Hall of the Snaegr was a shortstory in the Hordes of Chaos 6th ed armybook, and centered around this guy. warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Urlfdaemonkin
#Norsii really good vid
Can you make an army vdeo with your thoughts for evry WHF race?:D
+Loremaster_of_Sotek pls try tell us how would you implement the units in the game
As a tree I like these vids about maps.
I sleep while listening to long warhammer lore videos (I prefer the fantasy than 40k) Basically,this is my bedtime story. Except it's MUCH MUCH more epic.
i´d love to see Nagaroth next. i dont find much on it beyond it being nasty and full of darkelves
gw never developed the new world to the same extenct they did the old world. i am still bit sad the amazon army is gone
yes. i whould have loved it if after the end times. they moved focus to the east of the worlds edge mountains. like cathay, ind, araby. the nations of the empire and bettonia are in ruin. new powers are rising to defend against chaos as the survivors are rebuilding. i found the fan made endhammer setting and it seemed much more intresting than the age of sigmar
And now they're their own faction.
28:00 this is why you never fuck with the bone daddy Settra and should never steal his crown
thanks
i skip school and watch these videos instead
so where is the next part?
Lol this video has become more relevant now with the Norsca DLC. :)
I prefer long videos so i can listen to them while i walk my dog or listen to them through Bluetooth when i drive somewhere. Sorry to necro this :D just found it.
I live off these vids while working
Also do kings of the tribes ever betray or attack a everchosen like it seems that for kings or other leaders in chaos betrayal happens if the leader is weak at any time. Are everchosen special cases? And if they do betray a everchosen can they assend? Or would the gods not be happy cause well they chose that guy?
I am so sad that the norscan tribes are unplayable as of right now. They are later down the line however going to expand the chaos roster. And in fact make the game MUCH larger, but that doesn't help me much when all i want right now. Is play with my Viking brothers. I mean Norscan brothers :P
#Norsii
Would there be a lot of unit variety if they were without chaos?
norsca are my favorite human civilization of chaos worshipers in warhammer.
#Norsii 2023 🎉 happy 2024
So are you going from top to bottom?? If so I'm guessing Albion or Kislev is next :)
The Dark elves should attack and control this section of the warhammer world. Its not far for the Dark elves to journey too and from there its easy to attack the empire to the south and Dearven kingdoms to the south east.
"Incensed beyond description..." I had a good laugh at that.
Bloody hell Norscans. Like, did you really think it was a good idea to run away with Settra's crown? I mean... 'that' crown? You could take any other fucking crown in the world... but you had to take Settra's.
Bad idea. Really bad idea...
#norsii
Norscans see the Southerners as subhuman vermin who are not worthly to live and thus it's OK to commit all kinds of atrocities against them. Plus, Nehekhara is far from Norsca, the barbarians simply didn't know that Settra is vengeful in the extreme and can come back.
hey Lore master why didnt the forces of order come together to go and fight in the realms of chaos directly to fight the gods or why not try to kill all the norscans?
Awesome sotek thank you!!!!!
Is there a video like this but aboput the Empire?
Damn it feels good to be a #Norsii
Where's part 2? :c
Total war warhammer dlc sent me. ;)
Does the permafrost stop the skaven?
Ahhh the land that gave us Surtha Ek the god of all chariots.
So basically Skyrim on drugs
You said cha-ahhhhhhhh...you said "that" word,how are you still human
#norsi 🤙🏼
Sounds like Scandinavia.
#norsii while painting blood bowl gobbos
#Norsii :)
#norsii :)
Would be great if you would redo this video with better sound. I love your lore vids, but it's really hard to listen to this quality.
He starts cold always snow me hmm sounds like Canada then roaming beast men me never mind
VIKINGS
#norsii
+Loremaster_of_Sotek i loved watching this video all your videos to be exact but im wondering if you are going to continue this series or no again thank you for all your amazing videos
#Norsiii
what i wanna know how do they breed? im sure they have mother and father once lol
Norsy
#Norsii
Yes... no more Norscan dwarves... thank you GW for another stupid and unnecessary retcon.
*****
Those are indeed good news but I have to wonder... first they retconed them exterminated so Chaos can look more imba (or what word flies these days) and then retconed it back. It's nice to see that GW and DC comics have similar attitude to retcons :).
+Loremaster_of_Sotek Wait, when was the dwarfs confirmed? I've heard nothing like that :O
HannibalTheSnowman
Sssshhh, or they'll retcon it again.
