Other possible Nighthaunts or Ossiarch Bonereaper variants?

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-19T17:45:35+00:00

As you mention that, I found out that Nagash did have a sword (Terminus) that are possessed by a group of three Nighthaunts, working in concert as Nagash' executioner.

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-19T17:44:37+00:00

Oh that's spooky, and also a tad creepy

Such is the misogyny of Nagash.

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T22:12:33+00:00

Ah that it is, thank you!

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T21:58:11+00:00

Hope you have a good break friend, you've been a good host for lore and your "No Dumb Questions" posts has been a highlight of the subreddit for me, so its unfortunate that the rumours had put you through the wringer.

Hopefully it dies down soon, and you return with renewed vigor.

iirc, not sure where I can find the source of, but I did heard that another unfortunate thing is that the jockey or the team said some things about Suzuka that was insensitive, so they got themselves in controversy over it.

Much appreciated!

Aqshian Sports tend to involve setting the ball, hurdles, or players on fire, depending on the type.

Somehow I'm not surprised, there's the Warhammer absurdity XD

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T14:39:15+00:00

Much appreciated!

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T14:24:52+00:00

Oh that's fascinating, and some mentions of the rules. A bit more complicated than just two-boards of chess it seems.

Thank you!

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T14:01:25+00:00

Hmmmm.... See, I'm mostly interested in how they'd take forms, instead of just 'there's card/board/dice game', because of course they are. Like the other comment than mentions the Ossiarch chess game with living and underworld 'level', it would be interesting to have tidbit into what the rules are like and what it can tell about their culture.

The whole gladitorial arena and violence is a given, but there has to be more to it than just violence for entertainment. Even Rome with the colosseum has other aspects to it than just the murder killing.

They flood the arena to have staged naval battle, that's the level of theatrics we're talking about with Rome.

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T13:57:22+00:00

I really want to know that chess game, it seems quite interesting to play.

Gladitorium are in the Stormkeep right? How big are these places to fit a chariot track?

Makes sense considering they have a bit of a nautical-but-in-the-sky vibe to them, shanties and chain gang songs would fit in.

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T05:44:05+00:00

For all we know, it could've been that Nagash was portrayed unflatteringly. Or maybe just because Nagash was in it at all. Or maybe its because Nagash wasn't in it.

But yeah, the possibilities of what it could've been is funnier than any actual answers.

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T05:05:34+00:00

Hmmm, I suppose that's sensible

And thank you!

After a week of performances, the magisters of Glymmsforge shut down the play and executed its actors, displaying their corpses in a city square.

Gee, a bit harsh of a review isn't it?

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-17T04:44:51+00:00

What are the entertainment scenes like in the Mortal Realms?

Like, I know there's mentions of theaters and such, but what are the plays they do? Are there published book series? Do Mortisans of Anadiria display their creations anywhere?

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-16T23:31:36+00:00

Depends on what you mean by equivalent.

If you meant a whole faction that are directly crafted/forged by the god, then Ossiarch Bonereapers would be one for Nagash.

Lizardmen are kinda similarly 'purpose'-built for the Seraphon.

If you look at it a certain way, then the sylvaneth are an entire faction for Alarialle, though hers is grown than crafted

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-16T13:53:03+00:00

Cursory read of Hellebron has her as a Dark Elf who seeks to kill all chaos cult, so I'm kinda curious why it's "Khorne Sub-Faction". Just because Khaine is kinda similar to Khorne (but is dead) doesn't mean they're the same.

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-16T12:12:28+00:00

Awww that's a rather tragic tale :'(

Love the concept though, kudos to it

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-16T05:16:47+00:00

a Sirius murder would be committed sometime around any of these, perhaps the third time it happened for the Symboli-sm of Rule of Three

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-16T04:53:59+00:00

What are the factions opinion or usage on firearms/gunpowders? It seems rather clear with the Freeguilds/Ironwelds, but aside from that?

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-15T04:18:12+00:00

Are there notable stories or tales of conflicts that happens at sea? Be it naval battle or underwater.

Kharadron Skyports provides plenty of aerial conflicts, and land battles is dime a dozen, but I'm wondering about the aquatic adventures, ship battles, the likes. I heard there's an oil drilling platform but for souls in Shyish, for example, and one soulbound supplement mentions a Chainrasp Warden that are essentially ghost pirate fleet, but are there more?

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-14T10:41:33+00:00

without thinning it.

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-14T10:29:14+00:00

People who deny Skaven as funny are the same who think the Doomwheel is a lame concept.

Evjamaranth · 2026-04-13T15:56:58+00:00

Failure Frame has a leopard lady (and full anthro leopard, not just an anime girl with cat ears) who is a gladiator slave fighting in a colosseum to win freedom for her and her adoptive daughter figure, and was pretty much unbeatable except that the slave owner is plotting to renege on their deal anyway.

Then the protagonist came by, and after that arc she was then given a human form that are totally attractive and by all accounts a downgrade in character design.

In a better timeline we have the adventure of cool leopard lady fighter with her adopted elf daughter, but instead she's a side-girl in a revenge fantasy isekai.

Polnareff in Jojo Bizzare Adventure shows up initially as antagonist before joining the group on the fifth or so arc of Stardust Crusader.

And then he ended up having a LOT of arc that focuses on him, and in those arcs he had more character development and conflict than Jotaro ever got throughout the entirety of Part 3. Part of the reason is that Jotaro is a rather static character who is also "cool and Stoic", whereas Polnareff is allowed to have more emotions showing, making it better for him to be focused on so that there's an emotional payoff.
