I've been watching several videos about Runewars and have noticed a lot of people struggling with pronouncing things correctly. I don't know the pronunciations for every name in the lore, but I do know the four factions. I got my pronunciations from FFG's Rune Age video. The video is cued up to where the factions are listed. I hope you find this helpful.
That was a really odd way to pronounce "Human" and "Undead".
daQAN still sounds dumb to me, and I will probably keep saying it DAQan. It bugged me so bad in the battlelore app. Also, uthUK? Nope, it's UTHuk, sorry FFG you have it wrong. I will be forever salty that they pronounce it the ugly way.

They're a pretty ugly people.
There's no pretty way to say "We're going to salt the earth when we're done eating you"

As I remember it, BattleLore: Command did say "DACK-an" instead of the "duh-KAHN" pronunciation of Rune Age.
But I care less about where the emphasis is placed and more about the shape of the vowels and overall sounds produced during saying it. I have a cousin who consistently calls them the "duh-CANE" Lords and calls the Undead faction "way-KEER." Regarding the Uthuk, I don't care if you say "OO-thook" or "oo-THOOK," but when people use an "uh" sound instead of a long "oo" sound, it grates on me.

I knew some people who said it like daquan. It was very funny until I sternly rebuked them pointing out the lack of a U. I've also heard euwthuk. That was from my wife as I recall. Nearly had a problem there.
Edited by WillangeI didn't realise anyone pronounced it differently. ?

I believe the phrase is "Gorram Reavers"
I am Latari, I am sofa king Latari
People are also struggling with Aymhelin.
"Aim-huh-Lin"?
"I'm-huh-Lin?

I say "AIM-heh-lihn," but I have no idea if that's right.

You need to hit daquan.

I really appreciate this Budgernaut! I've been pronouncing Daqan and Waiqar purely as Christian Petersen did at the in-flight report, which matches this video perfectly (well duh!). Latari I thought was pretty straightforward, but I was busting to know the correct way to pronounce Uthuk. Thank you very much!
Next on the list: Ynfernael
Edited by maxamI hear that people who mispronounce "Uthuk Ylan" are eaten first.

Yes, and the Uthuk Y'llan are illiterate, so if you misspell it, you're still safe.
It is un-Australian to pronounce things the same as Americans so this video is useful.

Only if they don't kill you first.

I pronounce "Aymhehlin" as "AY-meh-LIN". It's quirky having that first h in there, so I guess I just ignore it. I want videos from FFG to help us pronounce these names!

If I was a betting man, I'd put money on it being "I'm-heh-lihn" based on the way they pronounce Daqan and Uthuk. I don't know the correct lingual term, but they seem to prefer the "deeper/longer" sound in pronouncing their words...
