Feanorians: *committing a massacre*

Elves born after the valar reveal themselves: oh no! It’s a kinslaying! Those feanorian monsters have broken our most sacred rule!

Finwe, Miriel, Olwe, Ingwe, Elwe (from where he’s locked up in Elu’s mind) and every other elf born pre orome, who have all definitely killed their fellow elf, and not always out of self defence:

Between Redguard and ESO I’m really starting to love redguards and Hammerfell, but I’m crossing my fingers we get some soft retcons or changes for tes 6 (assuming it is in Hammerfell) because they have way too many in-universe historical and cultural similarities to the nords imo

I'm working on a terrain piece in preparation for hopefully actually getting to play sometime soon, and my hobby store had these cool statue plinths that inspired me to make a memorial statue to what is part of the backstory for 3 out of 4 of my imperial armies.

Essentially, during the Noctis Aeterna which was a consequence of the 13th Black Crusade, the Ophelia system came under attack by the forces of chaos. Now because my homebrew knight house is also based there and was always allied with the sororitas on Ophelia VII they fought alongside them and the Ophelian Guard (Which is the Guard of my houses homeworld Ophelia V) to defend the system until they were eventually all bailed out by the newly resurrected Lord Commander Guilliman. While this war damn near wiped out the already relatively small House Deimos, they came out of the ordeal with a greatly reinforced faith in the Emperor and a now formalised and strong-as-adamantium bond with the sisters of battle. As such this event has quickly become the single most important point in the houses history and it is copiously commemorated on Ophelia V with memorials to those lost and to their new alliance as well as statues of their ultimate saviour, Robute Guilliman.

Anybody know a good place to start with Warhammer novels?

Ideally not recent ones.

Who wants to get delusional with meeeee?! So here’s what’s going to happen:

Roman’s going to reach out to Gerri, completely out of his wits, and she’s going to answer him and tell him to get off of the streets, which he’ll refuse to do, saying he wants to just disappear. That’s when she’ll offer that he hide out with her and he’ll absolutely take her up on that offer.

When he’s over at her place (and she helps him clean up some of the blood or whatever other damage he’s done to himself) he’ll tell her all about the different schemes going down with Ken and Shiv and all the Matsson and Mencken stuff. Gerri will see all that bullshit for what it is - children playing at business, with none of them knowing the obvious plays that they should be making.

This is when Roman will beg Gerri to come back in on the company - maybe he can’t undo firing her but he pleads with her to let him rehire her. She accepts and this is why she’s there for the board meeting in the previews - the finale is set up to be Ken (and Hugo? lol) vs Shiv and Matsson but then BAM here comes a third team angling for that crown in the final minutes of the game: ROMAN AND GERRI, the rockstar and the mole woman, back together and stronger than ever.

Yes, this is totally what’s going to happen. And like, even if they don’t show it happening, even if Roman is just missing in the beginning and then resurfaces without much explanation or even a very different explanation, this is clearly what’s actually gone down. Trust.

Cataclysm was the last time Warcraft was able to write members of the Alliance doing wrong.

Yeah fr, name one thing they did wrong since the goblin incident.

I mean, Graymane is right there. His vendetta is literally the perfect way to antagonize Sylvanas, just let him be a little stupid and/or paranoid and it all just falls into place for you.

But I'm not JUST talking about Alliance being typcasted as the good guys. Because truth be told, as a Horde player, I am all for Horde being ""the badguy faction"", if the writers commit to it, and actually let us be cool and threatening in the villain role.

And that, unfortunately, is a big IF

Because compare how the Varian died in Legion vs Vol'Djin. Or the way Gallywix's azerite mech gets defeated by the gnome one in the bfa war campaign. Or how the Alliance war campaign ends by destroying the whole entire reason why Horde pursued the Zandalari to join them (their naval fleet), meanwhile in the Horde campaign you revive two guys, plan an assassination plot, and it goes nowhere because you get betrayed.

I mean, just compare the notable faction characters. Alliance has the absurdly powerful mage Jaina, an absurdly powerful priest Tyrande and just a pretty powerful one in Anduin. Vellin too is Alliance but he doesn't participate in Azeroth politics. Malfurion is the strongest druid ever.

And who does Horde have? That one Nightborn mage? The Zandalari princess with some Loa favor? The situation is so dire, choosing Sylvanas as the warchief almost makes sense: she's literally the only Horde character who's up to the powerscaling.

WoW writing team is just as uninterested in making the Horde cool as it is uninterested in giving Alliance any shred of moral complexity.

But you can't be taken seriously as a villain, as a threat, if you're catching Ls the entire story. And you can't be taken seriously as a complex character if the world you're in is one sentence deep.

HSR verse Kaeya ideas:

Path of Nihility, Element Ice

Fell in stride with that path due to his depression after his conflict with Diluc and belief his fate due to his family's ties to the Abyss Order may be to bring his new homeworld's doom ( in part because of his Father's final words to him ), maintained in growing to find amusement in the impossible and working towards it regardless of the fact

Has every intention to try and defy his so-called fate even still, even knowing all that effort may be for naught in the end. But at least he would like to say he tried

Tends to help people on a whim, without desiring credit for his actions or if it may help them in the long run

His abilities sap the vitality of his enemies, but consume his own when he uses his strongest ability

Due to his family's contract with the Abyss Order, his lifespan is longer than most humanoids, spanning centuries. Though not quite that of a Xianzhou native, like them, his people do still face a terrible curse to become monsters after a time, like many of the Abyss Order.

He is glad his loved ones will never live to see him succumb to it. One way or another.

Though he also secretly harbors the strongest desire to force the Abyss's immortality on them to ensure they can stay with him, and face the same fate. He has to wonder if the slumbering monster in him is to blame for that, or his own attachments

Anna Jay & Daniel Garcia AEW Battle of the Belts VIII

[acgamesda]

I was thinking what it would be cool if Rook's faction choice not only would determine their name/background story/cosmetic look, but also their powers.

What's if every Rook from different background had their own faction-specific special attack, similiar to Inquisitor's Anchor attack?

Custom emblems I made for some warhammer fantasy armies, Quartilla’s Ratcatchers, Tilean Mercenaries with a specialty for hunting down skaven, The Kraken’s Call, former smugglers slowly being pulled into a dark cult by their wizard and The Sunken Flame, Estalian zombie pirates who still revere Myrmida as they cling to sodden guns.

Bloody Battle on Ballyeigue Strand, Co Kerry

Did you know that the shillelagh, or Irish blackthorn walking stick, was actually a murderous weapon used in highly structured, regularly scheduled fights (called faction fights) between families, gangs, communities, and tribes, in which people – both men and women – fought to the death? Faction fighting was a phenomenon unique to 19th century Ireland. Factions were armies of country people,…
