Draw your daggers and prepare to offer bloody offerings up to Kaela Mensha Khaine, the Bloody Handed God of War and Murder! One of the most powerful Gods worshipped by the Elves, there are many dark secrets to be uncovered surrounding the dread Lord of the infamous Widowmaker. Join Andy & Sotek as they plunge deep into the heart of these mysteries to unveil many truths about the Elven pantheon.

This includes topics such as the War in Heaven, the nature of the Elven Gods, how they're seen by other races, and the Cult surrounding this fell deity in its various aspects. Along with much more!
The night is dark and full of terrors, but not all threats are so obvious or detectable as ghouls and daemons. Some monsters hide behind coy smiles and lustful curves in plain sight through the use of humanity's natural weaknesses and clever sorceries. Join Andy & Sotek as they embrace the shadowy secret society that is the Lahmian Sisterhood, one of the most powerful organizations to be found in the Warhammer world. This legion of Vampires is well structured and carries a long history full of manipulations, betrayals, seductions, and bloodshed. We'll be learning about the Undead, the Lahmian bloodline of Vampires, their Mistress Neferata, and how this supposed evil may well be the world's greatest defense against the End Times and the Legions of Chaos.

Wei-jin, the Capital of Grand Cathay & the mysterious Palace-Complex known as the Celestial City that hovers above. Join Andy & Sotek as they scour the urban sprawl to uncover fascinating secrets of Cathay and its ruling Dragons along with studying the history surrounding such an ancient location. We'll be learning a considerable amount about the nature of Grand Cathay with the aid of specific locations and notes on constructions, leading to deep discussions on the nature of Yin and Yang magic along.
