Hello folks! I just returned from quite the vacation and see that Lustria Online is bustling. I've managed to keep up somewhat with the AoS stuff but I've been out, so what's new with all of my scale-brothers? haha.
As a side note, I will be transcribing and posting the fluff updates AoS creates for the game. I've already seen and confirmed the Lizardmen have survived as the Seraphon(word play on Seraph? as one of the forces of Order along with the Red Slayers(some human merc faction), Aelfs(obvious), Steamhead Duardin (Dwarfs), and Sigmar's Space Mar...er...I mean Stormcast Eternals which were forged by Grungi and Sigmar.
I've also seen the world is divided by the 8 lores, so the Realm of Heavens, Fire, Death, Beasts, etc. and then the good ole realm of chaos.
Major forces:
Order:
Stormcast Eternals (New army)
Red Slayers (Human Mercenaries)
Steamhead Duardin (Dwarves)
Aelfs (United Elves)
Seraphon (Lizardmen)
Chaos:
Chaos Champions (WoC)
Brayherds (Beastmen)
Skaven
Daemons
Destruction:
Orruks (Orcs)
Grots (Goblins)
Ogor (Ogres)
Death:
All undead, unclear if there's any separation between the dusty and wet ones.
Also it appears each Realm had it's own God in a prior age when Sigmar forged the Great Alliance.
Heavens: Sigmar
Death: Nagash
Beasts: Gorkamorka
Rest are unclear. Grimnir appears to have died battling some female monster god that was fire-based.
Age of Sigmar takes place after a massive time skip, there was a Golden Age where all the 8 realms lived in harmony before the Alliance began to fragment by things like Grimnir's battle and GorkaMorka leaving to go do something else. Chaos invaded during this fragment and have conquered every single realm with the exception of the Realm of Azyr which was sealed shut behind an impenetrable gate with Sigmar and Grungi making the Eternals by forging an army from "Sigmarite" which is the new super metal and apparently was the Golden Core of the old Warhammer World. These Stormcast are mortal heroes (potentially of different races) reforged into powerful new forms.
Sigmar built the new world thanks to the help of some insanely powerful dragon he bumped into in space named Dracoth...er...there's more letters but I forget the entire name. Dragon reset the core of the world and Sigmar gave him a gift that was a chunk of Sigmarite, so a bond was forged which is why some Eternals ride "Dracoths" which appear to be the Dragon's children.
That's the main meat of what I have for now. The Age of Sigmar is the opening of Sigmar's war against Chaos to attempt to retake the 8 realms and kill the Chaos Gods once and for all. Obviously this allows GW to write a TON of fluff as control of the realms can shift a bunch. Not sure where the other races are hiding but I imagine all will be revealed on July 4th. Unclear if this is 9th or merely a subgame to generate interest leading to 9th, most of my sources say 9th will follow after AoS in like August or September.
Hope everyone's hanging in there alright!
