    Episode 61 - The Weird and The Wonderful - Minor Ordos Listener Lore

    AHOY SCUMMERS! After what can only be described as a brief, administratively necessary (definitely not heretical) absence, The Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast staggers back into the vox-net like an Inquisitor returning from a very quiet, very classified investigation. Yes, we’re back. And to celebrate our triumphant return to the airwaves (and to prove we haven’t been replaced by suspiciously similar servo-skulls), we’re hosting our Listener Lore Competition: Minor Ordos Edition. Because nothing says “welcome back” quite like weaponised bureaucracy. Everyone knows the big three of the Inquisition, but we’re not here for the celebrity Ordos. We want the obscure ones. The underfunded ones. The ones operating out of a damp archive sub-level with a staff of three, a skull with anxiety, and a mandate so hyper-specific it borders on parody. This episode is all about your creations — the Minor Ordos that REDACTED. The Ordo that investigates bugs in a sitcom. The Ordo dedicated to beverages. The Ordo that insists that, technically, you do not exist. The Ordo loving Roots, bloody roots. The Ordo breaking our souls and robots. And because the Inquisition is nothing if not deeply uncomfortable around itself, we’ll be imagining what happens when all these Minor Ordos are forced to attend the strangest company mixer in the galaxy. Picture it: name tags in High Gothic, awkward small talk about sanctioned purges, someone from a rival Ordo quietly taking notes in the corner, and at least one Puritan loudly insisting this entire gathering is Gregory. There will be dramatic readings. There will be questionable accents. There will be entirely too much enthusiasm about Wingdings. Most importantly, there will be your lore. It is canon-adjacent, wildly unnecessary, and absolutely essential. We may have been gone for a while… but like any good Inquisitorial investigation, we were merely gathering evidence. The Emperor Protects. HR absolutely does not.

    Episode 59 - The Weird and The Wonderful - Rogue Traders

    Happy New Years, scummers! It’s been a hot minute since the boys last sat down with you, so naturally this one kicks off with a completely reasonable 20-minute opening. Expect hopes and dreams for the year ahead, aggressive lamenting over the complete lack of sleep this festive period, and Spamuel proudly announcing that he’s being selfish this year. The Year of Chaos is well and truly upon us. Then, after playing far too much of the Owlcat Games Mega smash hit cult classic game, Rogue Trader, the boys finally drag themselves back to the lore and dive headfirst into the Rogue Traders themselves. We break down who these wildly over-privileged lunatics are, how a single, ancient Warrant of Trade lets them operate above almost all Imperial law, and why the Imperium is perfectly happy to tolerate their excesses so long as the tithes keep flowing. From skirting the edges of heresy, to dealing with xenos, founding colonies, claiming forgotten worlds and occasionally kicking off wars by accident, Rogue Traders exist in that beautiful grey zone where ambition, faith, and profit collide. They are explorers, conquerors, diplomats, pirates, and sometimes outright criminals. All in the Emperor’s name, of course.

    Episode 57 - Criminal alliances of Necromunda. Part 3.

    Hey there, scummers! Strap in, strap on your tinfoil hats, and maybe keep a shotgun under the bar, because in our first-ever video episode, the Lorekeepers are diving headfirst into the murky sump-waters of conspiracy, psychic skullduggery, and downright dodgy dealings in the dark corners of the Imperium. This week, we shine a flickering lumen on the Psi Syndica, that shadowy cabal of sanctioned psykers, rogue telepaths, and mind-meddlers who definitely aren’t supposed to exist (which of course means they absolutely do). From whispered rumours in ash-waste shanties to the cold archives of the Scholastia Psykana, we dig through every scrap of intel we can find — and some we probably shouldn’t have.But that’s not all. Lurking behind the next rusted bulkhead are the Imperial Imposters — those sneaky, shape-shifting scum masquerading as everything from Administratum clerks to full-blown Imperial officials. Who are they? Where do they hide? And are they your neighbour? (Answer: probably. Maybe. Hopefully not.) Join the lads as they rant, rave, and lore-dump their way through identity theft, psychic crime syndicates, and enough paranoia to make even an Ordo Hereticus interrogator blush. And remember, if you think you’re safe, you’re already compromised.Tune in, watch the madness unfold, and witness the Underhive Lorekeepers glorious leap into video!

    Episode 55 - Upperhive Lorekeepers. Ran Lo and Ulanti.

    Greetings, scummers! In this episode, the boys pull on their finest rags and sneak into Hive Primus’ upper spires — where the air’s filtered, the drinks are poisoned, and the nobles wear more jewels than sense. We’re talkin’ House Ulanti and House Ran Lo — two Great Houses that prove the real bloodshed on Necromunda isn’t in the sump… it’s at the dinner table. From Ulanti’s glittering court of assassins and arranged marriages sharper than any power blade, to Ran Lo’s merchant princes, who’ll sell you your own lungs back if there’s a profit in it — these two families show that money and murder are often just different departments in the same business. Expect whispers of poison rings, hive-wide banking scams, and the kind of fashion statements that could get you killed in the underhive. The boys break down the lore, the rivalries, and the power plays that keep Necromunda’s noble houses from ever truly sleeping easy. So pour yourself a glass of something definitely not toxic, and join us as we climb too high, too fast — to where the silk drips with blood and the credits flow like promethium.
