I would but can't with my magnificent 3 Mbit/s. But still awesome video. I was hoping about a video about him and you exceeded all my expectations!
Do you think about making a summary about the Happenings in the "Vermintide" Games? Or do you stay at the official lore for now?
Can you please do ickit claw
I most definitely did! I had heard of the White Dwarf, but I never know about the first King of the Dawi. Thanks again!
Anything on Warhammer:Hell yeah this is cool
Anything on the Dwarfs of Warhammer : Khazukan kazakit-HA!
I was wondering what are the specs of your pc
Elves: *shave a dwarf's beard*
Dwarfs: *so you have chosen death*
That’s a Grudging!
Omaoui mo shinderu
@@aymanelkadouri8235 I think it's "Omaewa mo shindeiru." But I got the message.
@@wu1ming9shi thank you for correcting me
Imagine someone sent a diplomat back castrated. That level of barbarism demands response.
Head gets cut of: *i sleep*
Dwarfs beard was shaved: *Khazukan kazakit-ha* *intensifies*
What does that means?
@@Iruka1991 its a warcry.

Breaking News: Local Dawi literally too angry to die
Real original. Any dwarf lore video has this same comment.
In other news, Local burn victim refuses to leave closest for fear of Local Dawi will learn of his location... Naggaroth. He’s in Naggaroth. Big Black Spire, you cannot miss it.
@@fumarc4501 Malekith: One dwarf? One dwarf dares to challange the true King of the Elves? What a fool. Kill hi-what? W-WHO? NO, IMMPOSIBLE!

Bruh
In reality, Grombrindal is really just an excellent lumberjack in the wrong profession
Thanks for another amazing piece of voice acting.
dont you mean Right *prepares to write down grudge*
He probably ran out of trees
Just like every elf from White Lions company haha
He is just picking mushrooms... With an axe!
Malekith, the oath breaker. Of all the souls that exist upon this world there are none that bear a greater sin than yours, through your actions you brought untold suffering and doom upon not just your own people but that of your best friend. You spit upon an oath sworn during his last living breaths, all for the sake of your lust for power.
You are no longer the friend Snorri knew so long ago, that elf tied long ago by your hands.
Grombrindal is just here to reclaim his body from the monster using it.
🔥🔥
Quite a burn there my friend.
Pun VERY much intended.
You were the chosen one Malekith! You should have strengthened the kinship, not destroy it!
@@vidrabagoly4246 actually pretty damn accurate.. 🤔
There is no greater sin to the dwarves then a kin slayer and a oath breaker!
Alternate history;
Malekith with his dark elves, addressing his dwarf bros: bruh they stabbed me in the back and denied my father his legacy and me my honor
Dwarfs: bruh that's the big grudge. *sharpens axes*
Could you imagine if that did happen? Kinda wonder how things could have been had that been the case.
Grabs hand gun “who is the first to die.”
@@danenagai1157 malekith would have become Phoenix king, dwarf already won the war of the beard, though at a big cost, but with the help of malekiths forces they would have crushed the elves
Assuming if the other elves (either interrogated or sent a message) told him about the truth, I mean like Dwarf getting into conundrum about honor.
Well yes WH Fantasy history is pretty much littered with plot armor protecting the Asur and making Druchii not do the things that would make them win. End Times as well were they literally force most of the Druchii and Dawi to essentially commit suicide because the End Times wouldn't work if Druchii and Dawii were allowed to fight half competently.
Malekith broke an oath so greatly that it caused snorri to rise from his grave like its altered beast to seek vengeance.
Little trivia: Before Warhammer even existed; Citadel, the studio that would grow to became Games Whorkshop; published the White Dwarf magazine. At the time; the WD was not a Warhammer magazine thougth (as Warhammer did not exist yet) but a magazine about roleplaying, miniature games and overall fantasy an scy-fy themes. As it would cover both thoose themes; the editors decided that name: White Dwarf; at it could refer both to a white bearded dwarf of fantasy; or could also refer to a class of small star, reference to science fiction and space opera.
Later, the miniature designers of Citadel would develop a ruleset for their vast array of miniature games: Warhammer; and the White Dwarf would become the oficial magazine to the newborn company of Games Workshop... in time; the editors would not only create the "pet" of the magazine; the titular White Dwarf (and his nemesis; the Black Gobbo) but also make miniatures and include a ruleset and even a lore for him inside Warhammeer itself.
Thanks for sharing this! 😃👌
Dhorn in 1989 when Games Workshop created with MB Games(RIP) Heroquest the Dwarf figure they included WAS The White Dwarf
I've always loved the Dwarfs and this just adds to how great they are.
An oath so strong, it surpassed mortality.
MAN!!! get popcorn and cola. Book of Choyer is online
💥👊😃
Grombrindal is so incredible that he is both proud and humble at the same time
"Nothing is as true as the glitter of gold and the treachery of elves."
Your videos are amazing, I took an 11 hour + drive to Florida. During the 8 hour period before we would arrive I convinced my brother to listen to your videos, and we just kept listening while we drove. Skavenblight, Lizardmen lore, Dark Elf lore. All of it we listened to them and he kept asking questions about Warhammer that I was all to happy to answer.
Our first long drive together was definitely a memorable one.
These are the mini stories I love hearing/reading. Makes all the effort worth it 🙏😃 Thank you Corey, you just made my day sir!
@@TheBookofChoyer Keep up the good work, I look forward to every episode
Yeah, at first I din't like the lore of Warhammer, but during the drive I was swept away with the content.
Soon I was asking for more and more and was genuinely sad when the drive ended. Keep up the good Work The Book of Choyer.
Will do! 😃 May Sigmar's light guide you both!
@@TheBookofChoyer may the old ones guide you
Warhammer's Santa is as grimmdark as the setting.
Book of Choyer and Chill.
🍻😃
Novels like the witch King and the oatbreaker give me the chills when Malekith sworn to dying King Snorry eternal friendship, that moment break my heart every time
You're a great story-teller man, your kids will be lucky ones. Oh how I would love to hear the funeral chants of the dwarves slowly turn into war songs as their spirits were lifted by the White Dwarf's presence and aura...
"How deeply do Dwarves hold grudges?"
"They keep a detailed record of every transgression in the Great Book of Grudges."
"That's it?"
"Their first High King came back from the dead to avenge a broken oath - still walks to this day."
... Oh.
Malaketh : I promise I won't allow our races to fight each other
2 minutes later kill kill kill betray
Pretty sure Morathi cheated on Aenarion with a Skaven
So I might have misunderstood the video but in the lore the dwarves and elves did not meet until after the first great war against chaos called the great catastrophe. The two races met after Aenarion the Defender had disappeared after returning the sword of Khaine, Bel Shanaar had been crowned the new Phoenix King and Malekith had left to establish the colonies which now is made up of Bretonnia. Malekith met the dwarves first and established good relations with and together the dwarves and Malekith fought against the orcs and the remnants of chaos from the great catastrophe.
The first contact between elves and dwarfs was when Caledor Dragontamer met Grimnir, he learned from him that the chaos energies that allowed the demons to manifest came from the north, where the gates of the old ones had collapsed, with that knowledge Caledor would engineer the ritual to create the vortex. Caledor and grimnir exchanged gifts and parted ways. After that and many centuries later an elf crew became stranded in the coast of what would become Tilea after their ship sank, only the captain and another elf survived, they were both found by dwarf scouts and were almost killed on the spot, after the dwarfs were convinced they could be treated and reasoned with they took them to Karaz a karak and the elf captain learnt khazalid and spoke with Snorri telling him of the elves and their wonders. Malekith would appear in Karaz a karak some years later after encountering other Dwarf scouts, he eventually got the two elves secretly assassinated before more elves came because he wanted all the glory and merit of discovering the Dwarfen kingdoms and engineering an alliance between elves and dwarfs for himself. He would be appointed ambassador to the Dwarf high king by Bel Shannar for this reason.
Elves cut off a dwarf’s beard
Dwarfs: *visible confusion”
Man i get goosebumps everytime, thats the proof that this man is making top tier quality contents!
He is the only one I have been able to complete a legendary campaign with.
You couldn't suffer the replenishment of dwarfs otherwise.
These videos are so f*cking awesome, please keep up the good work. I got introduced to warhammer lore through Total war Warhammer 1 and 2, and these videos give so much insight about the lore and the world of warhammer that it even makes the games better. Thank you sir, you absolute goat.
*Satisfied grumbling intensifies*
Lovely
If only history classes were this epic
They are tho 😶
The problem is that history teachers aren't passionate about it. But watch a historian speak about it's favourite time and you will be amazed
A very extremely awesome video as always The Book of Choyer, and GROMBRINDAL is so badass dwai, he kills every enemy of the dwai, and he just wander away like a mist after many important battles.
Get me a Bugmanns "skull buster" ale.
Sit back and enjoy.
I love how Grombrindal was the only dwarf who learned to forgive. Trully the best of them.
I'm a fan of dwarves in general, so the quotes all got me pumped up lol
I love these videos! The dawi are the coolest race!
Brilliant video love this stunty lol
So we know what Santa Claus does outside of Christmas.
This video is exactly what I needed.
0:37 Haven't played the first or second, but if I'm hearing this right- They're saying: "We's gonna getcha!" If so, that's hilarious XD.
YESS BIG DWARF ENERGY
After watching this video I decided to start my own campaign as him cause I’ve never played the Dwarves. Only a few hours in and I’m already the strongest military on the map and have confederated with most of the other Dwarves nearby. Got Gotrek and Felix turn 3-6 so that helped. I feel like his blue skills are overpowered as hell because they are faction-wide. (I’m also playing on normal difficulty cause I’m not a sadist)
If you use SFO mod, you need to actually recover the lost holds to confederate with the other dwarf factions. So it's not that easy.
Dwarves is the master race
Now I know my next Warhammer II Campaign. Thanks for another great video!
YESSSSS. I've been waiting for a new video!
Love these lore videos
🙏🙂
@@TheBookofChoyer 🟢👈=💢💣💥🔥🪓 ⚪🧔👈=📯👍 📘 I hope these emojis are understood in khazalid.
It’s been 4 years and there still isn’t a single channel that can compare to the production value of this one.
I love lore videos, I’ve watched hundreds across dozens of settings.. no one compares to this. Even the history channels can’t compare.
Wow thanks a lot my friends for the kind words🙌🙏 Currently working on the next couple of videos to be released next week!
3 in one! Dwarf, Star, Journal
So basically Malekith pulled an insult of so epic proportion that not only a whole book got written to keep it remembered, but the ancestral dwarf "momma" raised a long dead dwarf to whoop asses over it for millenia.
I can respect that.
Yes it’s finally here!
great channel. fell in love with warhammer fantasy after total war and can't get enough of the lore now!
Who wants a battle between grombrindal and malekeith!
Glorious
Great video! Perfect timing too, just started a dwarfs campaign haha
His helmet gives extra protection when worn on the back.
Extra armor on the back. Just in case more elves are about.
Grombrindal, the legend to all breadlings and the white dwarf who gives hope to their kins the fighting spirits for their almost final moment in the battle
The White Bread: Legend to all breadlings
GROMBRINDAL
Yes , tis a great day for dawi lore!
“We’re gonna getcha” being chanted as lil gobbo’s all run out of formation.
I like to imagine that Grombrindal was just an astronomically unlucky dwarf (secretly cursed by Ranald?) and just so happened to have been in whatever hold that was about to be attacked to rest from his adventuring. Dude just wanted to chill and relax, then he ended up going to friggin war before he could even eat breakfast.
This is truly legendary
"screams in khazalid"
Great video, both my dwarf and my elf side where satisfied !
One of the best characters in Warhammer
I love these so much!
You give me goosebumps with every video. I love the lore and the videos you make about it.
I'm seeing all your channel, many thanks for the greatests videos of the lore of warhammer, its all perfect, HUGE THANKS from Brazil!
Malekith (allegedly) poisoned Bel-shenaar but the Dark Elf sources say he took his own life after seeing how his kingdom would fall under his rain in a vision and Malekith was accused of murder and attacked by the other eleven nobles.
Whenever he sees a black ork he attacks on sight
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for your effort!
“Committed the greatest of crimes” shaved his beard!!!! There was only one response… WAR!!! I love Warhammer :)
YEAH! Loved this video! such an awesome character to play in the total war warhammer games ;)
Dawi version of Goblin Slayer
Your mix of writing, editing, and voice over skills, combined with footage from TW:W2 make for very polished videos - 10/10 keep up the great work
Spoilers (thanks to the crappy non canon Endtimes)
He is actually the spirit of the first High King. Hence why he saved Malekith with a throwing axe during the Endtimes.
Orcs running in fear is a sight that pleases me. Small men making big history. Love it.
The channel grows so nicely
White Dwarf: Malekith... promise me that our people will be at peace. Malekith: I promise. *Next week* White Dwarf: MOTHER FUCKER.
😂
I believed it was Gotreck that had the Axe of Grimnir. There is a discussion about it in the tome 3 : Demons Slayer
Grimnir had 3 axes that we know of, they were used by grombrindal, gotrek gurnisson and throgrim grudgebearer
I love how you describe him wearing armor and at the same time, the TWW model doesn't wear it. :D
Alright, alright! Another great video, almost like a biography drama (fantastic!). Absolutely love it!
Also now, you inspired me to send Grombrindal to Naggaroth, find the treacherous princling (the 'Witch King') and give the boy some good old Dawi punishment. Next time I play the Karaz Ankor in ME surely I will.
Nice channel! I love Total Warhammer lore at all! You make a great service
I Love Grombrindal, my favorite and best Character in the lore or Warhammer
Next, the Dawi’Zharr!
At the first battle, i almost teared when there was no hope and how you was telling the story with fantasized..
Dude am waiting the lunch of shadowlands by listing to your content :) Thanks for the content, keep uploading there are much to cover ;)
Glad you enjoyed it brother! Have fun in the Shadowlands!!🙌
Beard as white as the snow
CA: So dirty grey then.
Doesn't want a leader with a tempered personality.
*Gets one who shaves the beard of a dwarf*
What an absolutely great video!!! Thanx!!!
Ah, good old lore, when Malekith was still a bad guy who insisted to be something he wasn't meant to...
>unbreakable wall of iron
>shows us slayers
nice.jpg haha
There is Warhammer fantays comic? What is thename of the site where i can read those things
It is said he comes to dwarfs who keep their oaths one night a year, brining the heads of their grudges bare of necks.
Entertaining as always, so i will smash dat like button :) !!
Yet another great vid for the noob. Thank guys.
I love this channel. But pls can you do a beastmen video :*
The very presence of Grombrindal and the way you say it man sends chills down to my spine.
But a dumb question here. Do you guys think he can defeat Grimgor Ironhide? And where was he at the battle of Belegar Ironhammer?
You know who i am. I love how he is the only character in WTW that doesn't scream his name out.
And in Total War, he's voiced by Gimli. Neat
What about the Legendary Heroes of THE EMPIRE? Volkmar and Balthasar? ^^
All I hear is “When The Hammer Falls” by Clamavi de Profundis.
Welp time to fire up another dwarf campaign!
an elgi dared to shave a dawis beard and thinking he could get away with it,,,,,,, doomed they be doomed
