At the center of [[Ulthuan]] lies the [[Island of the Dead]], which is home to a magical vortex that siphons magic out of the material plane back into the [[Warp]] so [[Daemons]] cannot manifest. The overabundance of magic is due to the [[Warp Gates]] at the poles of the world erected by the [[Old Ones]] to travel back and forth between wherever they originated and the Warhammer world collapsed, leaking fuel and [[Chaos]] into the world.  


Waystones come in all shapes and sizes, from the size of large mountains to something that can be used as a paper weight. They're found all over the world, and require maintenance and adjustment to keep them functional. In addition, they're prone to vandalism. Orcs believe High Elves to be their rivals in terms of strength, and desecrate these and rededicate them as shit sculptures (literally) of [[Gork]] and [[Mork]] (or Mork and Gork?). [[Dark Elves]] think [[Slaanesh]] is an ally, and weaken the Waystones to bring [[Daemonette]]s in for business AND pleasure. The other evil races, like [[Vampire Counts]], use them as amplifiers for their dark magic, while [[Empire|humans]] tend to do shit like pry the giant 10 foot tall precious gems out of them or build things around/on top of them. Either way, if High Elves are going to war away from Ulthuan then it's most likely to defend a Waystone.

High Elves who die and who's souls aren't claimed by their patron gods have to make a run for the closest one where they can dwell and gain semi-corporeal forms to fight living enemies of Ulthuan in defense of the stones as well as commune with the living elves nearby or attuned to Waystones and their fellow dead but not claimed kin. Those who fail to reach a Waystone are either claimed by [[Ereth Khial]] for torture or Slaanesh for consumption.

The VINESAUCE gaming events that The GRAND DAD Fugitives held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong homebrew scene.  These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't!  They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.


[[Soulstones]] exist in both [[Warhammer 40k]] and Warhammer Fantasy. In 40k, they replace Waystones by containing an Eldar's soul to protect them from Slaanesh as Eldar have no Waystones or equivalents. In Fantasy, they have reduced importance, allowing a High Elf to survive something magical that would otherwise kill them, as well as attuning their soul to nearby Waystones, which gives them a built-in instinctive GPS.
In later years, an event known as Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for [[GRAND DAD Fantasy]], [[KING FOR ANOTHER DAY]], [[GRANDmachine]], [[HE THICC]], and [[MEME Wars]], as of 2019.


On the tabletop, Waystones are special terrain that usually grant a bonus to spellcasting for the army controlling it. [[Games Workshop]] loves to use their Waystone pieces in the background of High Elf models, yet they for some reason have never released a scenery set to purchase.

Revision as of 21:21, 7 February 2020

The GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the now-defunct SilvaGunner YouTube channel until some time in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before largely being abandoned.

Forums

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

Events

The VINESAUCE gaming events that The GRAND DAD Fugitives held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong homebrew scene. These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.
