The Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast

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.If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.

Greetings Imperial.In this episode, the boys venture deep into the shifting sands of Necromunda’s outer wastes to uncover the truth behind one of the planet’s most elusive factions — the Ash Waste Nomads.Born in the dust and forged by exile, the earliest Nomads of Confrontation and ’95 weren’t the spectral hunters we know today. They were traders, scavengers, and killers when the road demanded it — more human than horror.But the modern era reshaped them into something far more sinister. Now, they haunt the dunes as faceless wraiths of the wasteland — moving like whispers on the wind, their motives buried beneath layers of dust and myth.Mysterious. Deadly. Unknowable.So buckle in, scummers — this one’s thick with theory, speculation, and a fair bit of desert madness.If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.

Hey there Scummers!!In this episode, the boys take a wander down to the marketplaces and dive into the very sellers and purveyors of trade themselves.The Guilders.The Guilders of Necromunda are powerful and influential figures who control the flow of trade and resources across the hive cities. Acting as intermediaries between the noble houses and the underhive, Guilders oversee commerce, enforce contracts, and maintain the fragile balance of power that keeps Necromunda's economy functioning. Each Guilder belongs to one of several trade guilds—such as the Water Guild, Promethium Guild, or Corpse Guild—each specializing in vital goods and services. Their authority is backed by wealth, hired muscle, and political leverage, making them both feared and respected throughout the hive.I think they are much more dangerous than we realize...If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.
