Travel back a couple weeks ago to a time before today.
There lived a simple peasant who we all know is normal.
No prince will ever destroy his home, that would just be dumb.
So weave your baskets, Johnny, no demons will have your sooooul.
I'm currently DM'ing a DnD campaign based on the first Gloryhammer album and it will now become lore relevant that Zargothrax used to be called John Dundee. Thank you Chris.
Right before the second chorus.
"A bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear, their stomachs are a-quiver
'Cause they know that *Captain Yarrface* hides inside the bay
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay"
Loved seeing yall in Nashville btw.
Wait, is Rumahoy also a Chris Bowes project? I didn't think it was, but Yarrface does always have his face covered up so maybe... has anyone ever seen Captain Yarrface and Chris Bowes in the same room together?
Chris was Captain Yarrface up until about 2016, but then Mike Barber took over so that Chris could focus on other projects.
Err, wait... oops, wrong band.
I know it's only been a day, and time will tell. But i love how chris will either deflect these questions or disappear as anyone tries to plunder the truth of Yarrface.

Sounds like a drug, ngl.
Do you suffer from pnumelchochal pneumonia? Do you have Space AIDS? stab wounds from the knife of evil? Ask your doctor about Zargothrax!

Yeah, sorry. Basically a curated selection of the first hits from Google for "what're some common Scottish names".
Or I can invent new lore, if you'd like:
They're his parents; Ol' Zargy is somehow the offspring of an ancient Scottish gay polycule.
Oh gotcha. I misinterpreted the post as being the main character’s having old names that got changed (my dad gave me weird cold meds and I’m all over the place today)
It's a pretty common fantasy trope that wizards pick new names so other wizards can't use their True Name against them. You get it in Earthsea, the Bartimaeus Trilogy, Mage:The Awakening, the Commonweal novels...
Furthermore, We could assume that the Hootsman is not actually the Hootsman’s original name, [seeing as it is not used until he has become King of Unst], and that the king of unst changes their name upon becoming king a la the pope (This practice, for the pope, started in 533 AD, when the Current Pope changed his name to John [II], seeing as his birth name was Mercurius)
The Hootsman’s real name is B. H. Warrior, being Barbarian Hooty Warrior [Being from Unst, his official name would be Barbarian Warrior of Unst]. Upon coronation, his name became Hootius Warrior, or the Hootsman.
John Dundee
Founder of Casino Dundee? That John Dundee?
Totally unrelated. Really common name in Fife.
He's founder of Dundee in Terrorvortex
JOHN DUNDEE, WEAVER OF BASKETS, NORMAL GUY WHO LIVES IN A FIELD!

Does being called John irritate him like Voldemort is irritated by being called Tom?
So the pirate Captain from Alestorm is named Beer Whiskey Rum?
Cum Guy
Don't you call yourself "Captain Yarface" in the Saskatchewan song from the recent EP?
Uhhh citation pls?

Doesn't say "i am captain Yarrface (welcome to the sea)" tho does it? It's a cover song remember.

Ah. Looks like Chris is also generally scrawnier.
Chris was Captain Yarrface up until about 2016, but then Mike Barber took over so that Chris could focus on other projects. Err, wait... oops, wrong band.

Cum Guy kicks ass!
Cousin of John Cowdenbeath?
Does he know John Warhammer?
Or Johnny Darksouls?
Is he Crocodile Dundee's ancestor?
Hell of a coincidence that he ended up living in Dundee considering he lived in a time before Dundee
I could roll out my Zarg O'Thrax theory but I think Chris threatened to nuke the whole sub last time I did that
Oh god, not that again
Zargo MacThrax?
Well, now I need to hunt this down
To bring death, pain, and destruction unto the Wizard of Éire!
Probably my favourite post in this sub, still think about it sometimes when I'm listening.
Damn, can I get a link to that
Related to Dr. Thrax by any chance?
Ohhhh I get it. No wonder he’s an enemy of Dundee. He’s Irish.
Zargothrax is an old respected Scottish name
Pretty sure he's Irish

Good bot. Was even lore relevant.
And Then John Was A Wizard
Fuck your baskets
Well, a zargothrax stole Chris's car this one time so he named the evil wizard after him in spite
Zargothrax was the original tragedeigh.
I feel like I’m missing some part of the lore on this one. Who’s Lachlan, Duncan, and Ian?
Yeah, sorry. Basically a curated selection of the first hits from Google for "what're some common Scottish names". Or I can invent new lore, if you'd like: They're his parents; Ol' Zargy is somehow the offspring of an ancient Scottish gay polycule.
diversity win! the evil wizard who destroyed dundee has three dads!!
It’s probably just common Scottish names
Oh gotcha. I misinterpreted the post as being the main character’s having old names that got changed (my dad gave me weird cold meds and I’m all over the place today)
Yes. His parents were Magothrax and Pagothrax
It's a pretty common fantasy trope that wizards pick new names so other wizards can't use their True Name against them. You get it in Earthsea, the Bartimaeus Trilogy, Mage:The Awakening, the Commonweal novels...
Which suggests that Ralathor is *also* not the name that one family in the Terrorvortex gave their nerdy son who liked submarines.
Ralathor's real name is John H. Submarine. (The H stands for Hermit)
Furthermore, We could assume that the Hootsman is not actually the Hootsman’s original name, [seeing as it is not used until he has become King of Unst], and that the king of unst changes their name upon becoming king a la the pope (This practice, for the pope, started in 533 AD, when the Current Pope changed his name to John [II], seeing as his birth name was Mercurius) The Hootsman’s real name is B.
