Time for some more Q&A on Warhammer fantasy, this time featuring the nefarious Skaven! I'll add questions and Timestamps below shortly.
1. He M.: How it is even possible that the empire denies the existence of the skaven? The dwarfs are an important ally to the empire, do they know that the empire denies the existence of the skavens and have they ever tried to do something about it? 0:27
2. Jerec 12: for the skaven Q+A: how competent are their melee infantry on a unit basis? obviously they would lose very easily in a 1v1 but would they be able to trade against a same cost unit of humans or dwarves or is the infantry really just there to hold the enemy down for monsters and war machines? 5:15
3. Squats Forever: since the horned rat even before the end times was a chaos God why doesn't he have more demons? Also why is it monotheistic how come there aren't other rat gods? 10:51
4. A Humpier Rogue: If a female skaven is born Albino or with horns would they be chosen for something greater than Breeding or would they just be considered an even better breeding machine. 16:40
5. GrievousKhan: Have there ever been any female Skaven "hero's" for the under empire? 18:25
6. the great book of grudges: Do Thaggoraki tunnel riched enough to the island of ulthuan? 18:41
7. Gabriel Perrella: Do the Skaven have any sort of standard, as in an evil act that even they would consider abhorrent and disgusting? (For example, for the Beastmen, hurting or killing a Bray-Shaman is considered a heresy and a crime of the worst kind) 19:34
8. Richard Round: I have a question on the horned rat. For the other gods, they gain their power through the actions and worship of the mortal races, with the four major chaos gods gaining additional power through the laws of the universe like change and stagnation etc.
My question is then how did the horned rat come to be. In the skaven creation story a stranger built a tower and the bell etc that caused the creation of the rats turning into skaven. So he made his own worshippers, but then where did he come from. So is the horned rat a Mage that ascended to godhood when he was worshiped by his man rat creations, or, because of the crossover between nurgle and the horned rat, is the horned rat a daemon prince of nurgle that has become powerful enough to become his own god. 22:20
9. LittleNomojo: Does most Skaven, at birth start as clan or slave rats and kill their way to a higher position or is there a ranking system to determine who becomes a Stormvermin, Shaven Warlord or Ratling gunners and such? 30:41
10. Rellana1: Have the Skaven ever tried to mess with the Vortex,or invade Ulthuan,and if they did,would they stand any chance of success? 39:23

[A bit of advice]: DO NOT worry about the length of the videos. People mostly just listen to lore videos anyway, I'm sure pretty much nobody will mind if its an hour or longer. Take as many questions as you feel are interesting to answer (assuming you yourself have the time and interest of course).

in my headcanon, the mysterious figure that completed the tower and created the Skaven was.... time traveling Skaven in disguise. Skaven creating themselves in a bootstrap paradox seems incredibly fitting for them. Though I don't think my idea is true, I like it.

I view the Horned Rat to be a lesser Chaos god of craven hunger and putrid cunning, a marriage of Tzeentch and Nurgle. I view Hashut similarly, a lesser Chaos god of spiteful hatred and terrifying superiority complex, a marriage of Tzeench and Khorne. I think there are others like this that never really got fleshed out.

Even as one who has read all the skaven related books and love them to death, you actually told some details i didn't know! Keep up the good work Sotek :^) Also, the horned rat is basically a mix between all the chaos gods dont you think? he plots (tzeentch), he is a strong warrior (Khorne), skaven take pleasure in torture or undermining allies (slaanesh) and he embodies ruin and decay, decay being (nurgle).

Tzeentch Plan, as example, if it involves sending a guy on a quest: He completes it: Just as planned He failes: Just as planned He completes it but dies: Just as planned He failes yet lives: Just as planned The Guy decides not to do it: Just as Planned The Guy somehow ends up "killing" a Lord of Change: JUST AS PLANNED!

Tzeentch would probably not consider an obvious setting like this a plan, rather a little finger exercise. Rather like this maybe: Dude is sent on a glorious quest and completes it. While returning to his home he brings a seed with him, stuck on his boot. The seed grows into a tree and 100 years later its roots growing into pipes cause a leakage in a castle built in the meantime. Dripping water distracts a guardsman on duty. Enemies attacking right at this time get a strategic advantage and kill everybody. Just as planned.

That makes tzeentch the worst schemer ever. A person who plans everything, plans nothing in the end. Which makes tzeentch powerful and pathetic at the same time. He may embody destiny, but you choose it. All you have to do is making these plans of tzeentch becone reality which benefit you (and fend off all attemps to stop you). Stopping Archaeon or Chaos in general? Tzeentch has a plan for that, probably multiple. Just pull that one through that fits you best

23:05 I can understand why you believe it is Tzeentch, however I personally believe it’s not just for the sake of fucking with people that he did that. I believe he wanted to make a new Chaos God, just as he plans to do with the Emperor in 40K. My reasoning for this is the fact that Chaos Gods are born, we know this because of Slaanesh being fairly young of the main four. And someone has to know who the newborn god is through their creation having an impact. This would suggest the Horned Rat had an explosive birth. And it was. Khavzar *was* the Horned Rat’s birth in truth, however it was already forming as a deity. Every mortal being experiences fear in some manner, and the gods of Chaos are formed from emotions and thoughts. The Horned Rat is the culmination of an entire planet’s existential fear and paranoia, taking the shape of the most frightened creature on said planet: a verminous rodent. I believe Tzeentch to be the whistleblower to the Horned Rat; discovering the unborn deity, and putting into motion its birth. This would explain why the Skaven naturally default to scheming, while also being inept at it in the long run: Tzeentch influenced their god, but isn’t the father of their father.

I think I read somewhere that skaven can tell from birth of a female skaven is infertile and if she is they more or less just throw her in a pile with all the other skaven and ignore her. Due to skaven society though she won't be considered female as "Skaven don't have females, just breeders" and would never be referred to or treated as such and would likely even refer to herself as male. Long story short, there could be Skaven female characters, but we would never know because Skaven society refers to any skaven that can't breed as male. This could be complete bullshit though

Alright so listen here. I don't know if this is canonically correct (but it should be). We got warpstone right. Large deposits of it underground. Humans come in, build a city on top of a large underground deposit of warpstone. Humans create refuse which attracts rats. As my understanding of it, the rats were gradually over generations mutated and warped by the effects constant exposure to warpstone, much like exposure to uranium. Eventually the rats become man-like, developing sentience. Deep in the forlorn, squalor of a human city where rats fight desperately for survival and a culture of extreme desperation and 'me first' mentality forms. Some sort of chaos entity notices these new children and takes their form and becomes their god. The story of the Bell is really more of their first appearance to the surface, or perhaps the entrance/creation of this rat god. A dramatic entrance that sacrifices hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions, such a calamity unsettles the warp enough for this new god to form. The similarities to nurgle are coincidental. Rats carry diseases and are resistant to them (because of their rate of birth they mutate faster irl) and so that was simply incorporated into the skaven when GW made them.

Keego Bricks I think he talked about how a human city went underground because of flooding and while they were down they needed to build a monument to their god and some stranger approached them and said he could build the monument in one day if they would allow him to make a small monument to his god on it. The lazy bums agreed and the next day when it was built a bell rang and all manner of rats came and started attacking the citizens and killed them all off and that's how the skaven came to be I think.

How does elven immortality/ageing work? It seems some elves age like Hellebron, some don't age due to magic like morathi, and some just don't seem to age like alith anar. So is it like biological ageing in humans or 'world weariness' like Tolkienian elves.

This "Mazdamundi almost wiped out the Dwarfs" is a oversimplification... a Skaven Weapon of Mass destruction (maybe a Doomsphere) was triggered by the shifting plates, blowing up in Skavenblight, nearly eradicating all of Skavendom and leading to the the plates shifting further then the Slann had anticipated, leading to far worse Damage to the Dwarfen Underway and Earthquakes then the planned course of the plates would have created. Due to this Damagethe enemies of the Dwarfs could find many ways into the Karaz Ankor

Your Friendly Neighborhood Sterls As he talks about a bit in the video, the Horned Rat as the grey seers see it is generally just an embodiment of the Skaven. Cunning, cruel, capricious and so on. It's specifically Clan Pestilens that sees the Horned Rat as a God of plagues, I guess through some intervention of Nurgle or what have you. While the Horned Rat does have aspects of Nurgle, I think this is because the Skaven now believe plague is an aspect of plague.

Jacob Berner, Exactly...if someone can tap into the Geomantic Web they can mess with the Vortex. As for Dark Elves and High Elves power... it really depends. High Elves have the strongest navy in the Wathammer world. But I think on terms of military power on land, the Dark Elves and High Elves are quite equal... maybe the Dark Elves are slightly better...due to them adding many monsters in their armies.

Jacob Berner, Some think that they can harness the power of the Vortex to make themselves very powerfull... and the Dark Elves want to kill the High Elves no matter what.. The main reasons no one taps into the power of the web that easy is because the Jungles of Lustria are very very deadly. Also the Lizardmen have build many temples and Cities on places where the Leylines cross (Leylines are what makes the Web) so going to such a temple/City and try to tap into the Web..or even going near the temple/City will cause the Lizardmen to attack and kill you..

When it comes to the other gods that are not the major four chaos it's seems the realm of chaos behaves a lot like The warp in 40k. If so then God's like the horned rat come into existence though the actions and mindsets of mortal races long before they are worshipped. The skaven the lizard man and the chaos dwarfs all had task completed along with worship to give the god power in this world. .. Or They are manifestations and manipulations of the four chaos gods.

Cold Flame yeah, there was the skaven wars, where the skaven released a plague and then after it killed or incapacitated most of the populace they attacked, and if I remember the man who won it for the empire was called mandred skavenslayer.

[QUESTION DARK ELVES] Do the Dark Elves still think they're the "good guys" and that Malekith is the legitimate Phoenix King? Do they call him "Phoenix King"? (I know he's known as the "Witch King", but is he formally called "Phoenix King"?)

High ranks in the empire know about the Skaven, but they leave It to the Witch Hunters, its easier to not have your citizens freak out from the massive rat empire under their feet. Also the Chaos Warriors dont have cities, and cities in Norsca are shit so no Skaven hace any interest in them

They were an important piece in turning the tide against the demon hordes on the first invasions but due to being (blessed/cursed) by Kaine they fundamentally became different than high elves getting discriminated, and too much peace brought about murderous tendencies

Wait so there was a massive Skaven invasion and most people in the Empire don't believe in them? And if there's this huge threat of a Skaven apocalypse - wouldn't it be better for people to know about them an at least prepare? Look.. This is stupid. There is no excuse. Its stupid.
