These guys are my favourite faction from any IP. I absolutely love them

[thomastakesatollforthedark]

Hot damn they keep knocking it out of the park with Idoneth. I love the flavor that comes with everything they have, from the spells and miracles to their special equipment, while still allowing for a lot of fluff friendly customization room for characters

My character is named Meer Stillezee (which is just dutch for Lake Silent-sea) and he's a Namarti. My idea for him was basically, a wise zookeeper. I focused him mostly on social skills and abilities that help him tame and care for animals and, because Namarti are blind, I gave him Witch Sight and Nightvision so he can look into the souls of animals and people and see what they need. He has a Deepmare, it's a baby don't worry, which he found wounded and starving and so he fed it his hand which I replaced with a whip (which is basically his only weapon and he mainly uses as a tool for starting fires and as a role anyway).

Me and my SM, Soulmaster as we have gotten to calling Gm's for Soulbound, have basically ruled that Namarti can become Soulbound but that it's extra risky and increases the risk of dying for everyone in the binding during the ritual as they have to compensate and basically "plug the hole" in the cup of the Namarti's soul basically. I really like playing him

Really enjoyed this video. This is one of the harder factions to wrap my head around.

Thanks for this! Much love for the Idoneth, their lore is awesome, full of tragic events but there’s hope. The novel ‘The Court of the Blind King’ is great to see how they function. Would be one of these chaps I think for Soulbound ✌️

This is why Underworlds/Warcry was a blessing. Your videos make me want to start the very army/faction it's around! ❤ (I know this is technically a different game lol)

Thanks for explaining this AoS faction. This is a really cool concept: sea elves which leak out souls. The need for more “soul food” is a perfect excuse to clash with other AoS armies on the table top!

I think if someone wanted to play as a Namarti, you could play as a generic elf and just say you're Idoneth. Like the Trader or the Corsair, it'd also be easy enough to swap the Corsair cloak for the underwater one since they're both priceless items.

Its also kind of cool for RP since even if you have a soul you might have soulless parents or siblings or kids.

Very informative! Deepkins are the most difficult to imagine when starting out. All of my players were really intimidated by the concept.
This video should make it much easier to get into the flow...

[CalabozoCriollo]

good review of the lore of the most newest thing on warhammer universe, i like them

[ksac]

I'm loving the video series - I just bought the rulebook and will be running a game shortly. The last fantasy Warhammer RPG game I played was 20+ years ago. I'm excited to begin and your lore videos are great.

[DannyJP]

Sweet more idoneth lore! I'm listening to The Court of the Blind King audiobook. So far its really good. Have you read that one Doug?

[Chocopacotaco]

So the question i think we are all wondering is.... war turtle stats for soulbound when cause they are adorable

[fumarc]

Looking forward to your videos on the DoK and Kharadron.

[ThatResolves]

would you ever be interested in covering warcry/warbands? seems like it would be a good fit for the channel esp if you could go through the value or the dif warband get started sets etc, anyway keep up the good work.

edit: oh i see youve got some videos, I'm checking them out now! i normally just look at the lore and the get started boxes!

[lastationproductions]

I picked the Idoenth for warcry and underworlds and i think ill take the, for this game

They are a really interestimg faction and i like the twist of the elves being under the sea

[totomen]

I gonna make Prophecy, Italian Emissary:"They gonna combine FB+AoS into OLD WORLD"

[ChaosStruck]

this is why i love AOS sea elves and sky dwarves new takes on traditional fantasy races. with fully supported lore that is brought upon struggle and strife. this enables the fantasy to be turned up to an 11.

[Breakfstdinner]

One reason I wish they did AOS in total war, Deepkin are so cool

One of the most interesting aspects of Idoneth society is that despite being born to the "noble" class, by sole virtue of having a fully functioning soul, the Akhelians and Isharann are bound to servitude in either gathering enough souls to keep their people and society alive or finding a better solution to this massive problem that plagues their race. So despite what it might appear on the surface the Nemarti are actually the part of the population with the most freedom in how they live their life.
