Imagine being the 15th generation of crewman upon a pilgrimage ship inside the warp. You have spent your entire life not even knowing what reality looks like, the entirety of your existence being of bulkheads and engines.
Until one day, when the impossible occurs, and your ship enters the holiest of star systems, the work of your entire bloodline is nearly achieved.
Then the ship is promptly vaporized by a passing frigate from Battlefleet Solar, because your ship failed to follow some obscure protocol.
Welcome to Warhammer 40,000.

@Lord Admiral Spire Seeing as some ships will arrive before they even left. I'd say it's not beyond possibility. This is the warp after all. Logic and generality went out the window back when the old ones and the necrons decided to wage a war great and horrible enough to warp an entire dimension of emotions and souls into a self sustaining tortures nightmare.

Best comment.

Now all we need is for Alfabusa to make that into a skit in one of his videos
"Consecrated Thesaurus" sounds like the name of a Word Bearers Battle-barge.
If you listen closely in the eternity gate, you can hear guilliman screaming at all this nonsense
Hahahahahahahhahs
I like to think Lorgar and his Imperial cult are mostly to blame for this futile waste of manpower. And now that he's joined chaos, he'd claim that undermining the Imperium with pointless fanaticism was his idea all along.
Mike A The thought of Papa Smurfs’ tears amuse me more than it should. Cheers.
And you don't want security over terra? Or do you just want to lock the civilians, even those affluent or capable enough to move, to not go where they wish?
Even if the IoM was Atheist idiots like this would still be flooding terra. Just the excuse would be one your own sensabilities would deem ok, despite the death toll possibly being higher as the people have less reverence and more arrogance as they approach.
@@Oscar_Lasco and then an Inquistor peers around the corner, seething..
"tides of pure cannot be"
I think I found my new favourite way to describe the warp
I loved that line!!!
Lachlan Campbell the nope ocean is one my SO has used . Though I have to admit , I think this one that he used is better.
I like "roiling un-nothing" myself.
just don;t ask about the Lions Gate incident.
also tides of pure "can be", it's the Warp after all.
This is exactly how I want my 40k lore served.
Exactly
Raw , and still breathing?
Hot. With a side of suger-toned arrogance and xenophobia.
*sniffs deeply and sighs in a satisfactory way* Ah yes, this is *living!*
So Holy Terra is a literal tourist trap.
I have heard that a cup of coffee costs £20 and you have to queue for hours to get it. Total ripoff. All the holy terra merchandise can be got at a fraction of the price on Mars where they make most of the stuff anyway.

"They die"
-Warhammer in a nutshell
What's actually amazing is that this stuff happens in real life too. Not to lower the sanctity of such acts but St. Jerome the Translator of the bible from Greek and Aramaic to Latin Vulgate made a pilgrimage at the end of his life to the actual manger of Christ. There he laid his head upon the resting crib of infant Jesus and died.
St. Benedict patron of Europe, was near his death due to sickness and called his servants to take him to receive communion and after with the aid of his servants holding his arms to the sky and saying prayers, died.
“And then it got worse.”
warhammer 40k in five words.
@@kingdomofvinland8827 "But, sometimes, they endure" The other half.
"it doesn't matter how many die, there is more"
The overly exagerated description of the scale of that gate makes me rather tempted to build a replica of it in Unity and go visit it in VR. He gave pretty clear dimensions of it's height as being half a kilometre tall. Everything else I can just extend it's dimensions to go on infinitely into an unlit space and call it accurate. Warhammer makes grandiose description and fanatical exaggeration an art form. It's always been interesting to see how effective it is at captivating people.
DO THIS. PLEASE DO THIS.
Good fucking luck. I hope you have a computer with 60k ram
Just be careful for you too may have your soul crumble to dust...
(please create this, I will literally buy a Vive headset just so i can kneel and pray all day at the Gate, just be sure to add the angelic choir ^^ )
Please put the Emperor from TTS behind that door as an easter egg and make him rant aout hackers when you reach him.
Putting my comment here so I'll know when you finish this glorious project.
"This is where the Angel stood."

No other 40k channel thus far has produced this kind of clear, immersive and fascinating content. I am thoroughly astounded by your efforts and the persona in which you present the grim darkness of the 40k universe. The fact that your channel doesn't have more subscribers is criminal, nay, it is heretical!
You know Luitan 08? Really REALLY deep long 40k lore dives and vids.
@@JeanLucCaptain Leutin knows what's good, that video when he's talking about the Warp and ends up spiralling into time paradoxes and theoretical physics is golden.
Luetin flattens this channel by a wide, wide margin - and he doesn't go out of his way to sound like a pompous prick.
@@edwardwindsor2516 we need a Collab between these two geniuses!
@@JeanLucCaptain I like the way you think

Well, this is just superb. Easily your best written and most ambitious work yet. In fact, it was so good I began shamelessly flagellating myself on the subway with my phone's recharging cord.
Thank you so much. I was worried the script was too lunatic!
@@OculusImperia There is no such thing as too much lunatic to a true servant of him upon the throne, any more as to a Greenskin there is any such thing as Enough Dakka
@@OculusImperia glory to Terra indeed
@@OculusImperia Old video surely, however one I just watched. This was truely magnificent. Just like holy Terra, it could not have been more aptly described.
the mental image of there being so many pilgrims that they act more like a liquid then a mass of people, matching across plazas and passways the size of seas, hacking out prayers and hymns as their lungs melt in the toxic air and their flesh sloughs off the bone from diesease, still uttering nonsensical incantations as they crumble and die on the street before getting crushed to thin red slime by the endless tide of plague-ridden zealots who are too riled up in religious fever to notice is visceral.
On second thought, let’s not go to Terra. ‘Tis a silly place.
*Inquisition* - hello heretic! :)
Your talking mad shit for someone in Exterminatus distance
It's only a model.
Oh no no no we need more protein bars come along now
It's the bastion of humanity. Humanity is doomed.
The Eternity Gate is so badass that the few people who get to look at it fall over dead in awe? I guess that's an appropriate way to end a religious pilgrimage.
This is a great video, and as an Adeptus Custodes fan, it gives me a lot of perspective on just how busy the Ten Thousand have to be in guarding the enormity of the Imperial Palace, to say nothing of monitoring the whole Solar System.
And all of it done almost completely nude

Once, in the early days of my service, I was entrusted with the light of Sol itself. A power cell charged by the light of our Father's own Sun. It rests now beside more mundane ammunition, and I hope one day to show it's glory to His enemies.

This is your best hands down, and I've been subbed since episode 2. This is a great intro to 40k as well.
Thank you so much, that's incredibly high praise!
@@OculusImperia Your voice reminds me of John Turturro's interpretation of "Guglielmo da Baskerville" from "The Name of the rose - 2019 tv series". Just discovered your channel, I love everything you do and this the greatest of your videos I have seen yet. Going through all of your videos will now be a daily pleasure, Thank you! The first Adeptus Custodes video was truly magnificent aswel. I wish I was a better writer so I could write a comment giving you the true praise you deserve.
poop goes in your mouth
@@OculusImperia love the channel but ya this one is by far your best work.
No joke, this made me feel something. I’m not particularly religious, but hearing this stirred something inside me.
You sir are incredible! Thank you so much for bringing this incredible universe (that I’m quite new too) to life. Keep up the incredible work, for you make the emperor proud.
P.S. if you haven’t already, you should seriously try to monetize your voice (outside of RUclips). Whether it be audio books, voice acting, or a podcast of some kind. You would be very well suited to it.
It's called a "religious experience".
Welcome to the club. We have T-shirts on the table on the left, where Lord Adorable is standing.
Yey
@@StarboyXL9 yeah... just ignore the only Custodes in silver armor... he's still getting over his break up with that Fire-Cast...
@@seand.g423 And the nudists are harmless though a bit.... Tedious at times. Take care to not step on the oil slick they leave behind.

I Visited Holy Terra And All I Got Was This Lousy Tee-Shirt.
That should become Merch :D
If you got a shirt it probably came from a dead pilgrim.
I Would buy that Merch actually
Damn, flak armour? That sounds pretty dope
Did I here some heresy?
Bravo. Singularly, simply, bravo. You have breathed life and gravitas into a lore based in 80s hair metal, Conan novels, and British Black Humor.
That is no small feat!
Seriously, thank you for doing these. It means a lot to us lore hounds.
This channel is bliss. Nice to hear a fellow Irish 40k head describe the world and lore so vividly
That was the most grandiose, incredible, fantastic spoken verse you could have ever possibly followed with the phrase "Buttstuff Kaiju".
Ok. Are we not going to acknowledge that Oculus sounds like a humble librarian who's been around for a very long time and has so many wonderful stories to tell?
There is an inaudible sigh of a crushed soul right before he says "Butt stuff Kaiju". It nourishes me.
Breathtaking. You have managed a masterpiece of storytelling here. The single best recording and representation of the 42nd millennium on RUclips. Thank you for this. Gloria in excelsis Terra.
This is honestly some of the best 40k content I've seen on RUclips and it is criminally under-viewed. I urge everyone to share this with other 40k fans.
In my opinion this is one of your finest works. It is difficult to explain the imperium, the hope and the hopelessness, but you capture it perfectly. I come back to this one often. Thank you.
What a beautiful presentation of a grim dark, unfair, dangerous journey...
Good job sir... Been watching you for months... Repeatedly you offer quality that surprises me.
I wish you and Wolf Lord Rho would do something together...
Thanks a mil for the support man, very much appreciated. And hey, I'm always open to collabs with other creators! :D
In repetition of the many that came before me, and what many would repeat after me, This work does Terra justice, and could be considered almost as grand as one of the many cogs that drive Sol,
Truly, Gloria in Excelsis Terra, Ave Imperator
it may be an older video but damn is it the most evocative of them
Years later. Still the greatest piece of poetry on the web.
Still Yeats later...
primarch stamp of approval as always .
"... blue-hazed sphere of Uranus..." I laughed FAR too hard at this, but just because of the pronunciation of Uranus in such a serious record. Ya got me.
he is the buttstuff kaiju after all
Uranus--truly the most immature of planets.
“Capricious”... oooo yeah now that’s a word that sends a tingle down ones spine
Every year I re-listen to this, and four years later it still inspires a hard to describe feeling of desperation and hope
I must have listened to this entry for at least twelve times while trying to sleep after particularly hectic days. A Pilgrimage to Holy Terra - ludicrous in the 41st millennium, very relaxing in the 3rd.
One of your best chapters adeptus, amazing and fresh, I think it would be awesome to see more material like this, more "grounded".
This notification pops up and my day is instantly made.
Now that I have actually listened to it, wow. I thought I knew Tera before, but that actually felt like a first-hand account of someone who had been there.
THIS is why youtube exists. This video is nothing short of phenomenal.
How did you get IN so quickly? My ancestors started their pilgrimage over two thousand years ago!
Descendants? Years ago?
Warp time-travel shenanigans again...
Out of Universe, I honestly didn't notice that.
Not that there isn't warp interference. Look at these stupid horns I've grown...
@@UGNAvalon warp fuckery!!!
He shilled out for a Fast Pass™ .
The iconography on the Eternity gate is interesting. I wonder what all the beings on the door represent?
...i am a lurker and usually avoid posting nerdy stuff on my social accounts. I've seen all your videos and this one is truly a piece of art. Shared it without a second thought. Please continue your work, I think your audience is larger then the numbers show. Logos Historica Verita
:)
This, in my opinion is one of the greatest 40k narrations of all time.
In a forest of your own brilliant work, this remains your magnum opus.
You have the most amazing narration voice for 40k I have ever heard. You just have this perfect way of conveying awe and reverence, and gravity to your words.
I love that i can come back to this video years later and still feel the same comfort. You're a gift.
It’s like watching a BBC documentary or something, the music, pictures, and narration.
And of course the length, 40K lore is only done right when it’s like this.
The BBC has nothing on this. They wouldn't know quality xenophobic entertainment if it bit them on the posterior!
You made my morning commute today, keep up the good work.
This is a nightmare! I will walk in a forest tomorrow, and thank God that our world is not like this horror. I pray Terra never suffers such a terrible future.
That was beautiful. How can 40k be so dark yet so appealing.
This is still my favorite lore tale on youtube... it paints such a wonderful picture.. really feels like youre going there
Just revisited this Video. I think its the single best piece of 40k Lore out there. Captures everything that I find fascinating about 40k. Thanks for this piece of art.
I have no words to describe how impressed and engrossed I was, listening and watching this video. Hands down your absolute best work so far.

*gregorian chant through whole video*
Who is this fake god of "Gregoria" you speak of? Is he another Chaos God birthed by the unholy heretic Eldar?
@Chris Hansen And you say that our holy God Emperor enjoys these heretical worship chanting? Throne of the God Emperor, you will be burned on the stake for saying such heresy, chronicler.
@Chris Hansen My apologies, chronicler. I did not realize our holiest Emperor had taken inspiration from this ancient religion of "Christianity". Excuse my ignorance while I read up on more ancient Terran history.
@Chris Hansen Did you not just say the word in your previous statement?
It isn't a Gregorian chant. It's a choir
You are hands down best wh40k lore channel, no, best RUclips channel.
After Majorkill.
This is just simply a masterpiece to me. I fall asleep to this every night.
This is the video that made my mind up about you, sir. I come back to this video about once a week and listen while I lay in bed. Thank you.
This is the best video I have ever seen regarding Terra itself. It’s also the best video you’ve ever done that I’ve seen so far. Totally captures the grim dark. Well done!
This was a trip, man. It's art, plain and simple.
Legendary as always; this should be canon interpretation. Well Done.
Chronicler this record is one of the best you did yet, tears sprung from my eyes at your description of His most holy palace. Great work
I just want you to know that I first listened to this just a few weeks after you uploaded it. When I started getting back in to 40k a few weeks ago, I heard a few lore updates and directly sought you out based entirely on this video to catch up. Your in universe lore videos are without peer and I am certain you will be recognized for this by your fellow fans. Thank you for ak your hard work.
Thanks to Wolf Lord for referencing me to this man's mesmerizing voice. These tiny glimpses into the world of Warhammer is what keeps my interest alive in this lore. Definitely subscribed, keep up thy holy work.
The Emperor Protects.
Imagine being on that ship, laying your eyes upon humanities first sun... this brought a tear to my eye.
It would be the equivalent of discovering that Heaven or whatever afterlife your parents raised you to believe in (or that you chose to believe in of your own volition) was actually a real place.
@@StarboyXL9 Amen
I had only half heard of Warhammer before I watched this the first time. I once had an old roommate and friend who would sometimes be hired to paint miniatures, but I never paid the subject any mind.
But something about the title captured my attention, maybe the recognition of the name mixed with a youth spent draped in Catholicism and terms like pilgrimage and holy.
Your voice though... your voice stole my focus for 40 minutes. My imagination exploded with all the horrible and marvelous possibilities of a world teaming with life and misery and scale.
That was about 2 years ago, and the breadth and scope of the verse still holds my attention like little else before it.
Thank You.
Omnissiah, allow this channel to grow and flourish.
I love 40k. The lore is amazing and the scale is monumental.
Sir , this is one of the highest quality 40k Videos I've seen, you just earned a subscriber!
I hope Gdubs extend you an offer to narrate one of their audiobooks,I would be first to buy it 👏👏👏
Yes
All those defenses guarding the entrace to the Sol system and what will it do when the Nids come and dont use warp gates
They aren't just guarding the two jump points, there are heavy defenses covering the entire system with enough fire power to vaporize planets
@@weldonwin nid hive fleets can consume an entire system
No system has as many guns as Sol. The greatest threat comes from daemons that just bypass all that stuff
@@Lightscribe225 That's what the Sisters of Silence are for and the Custodes are no slouches when it comes to Daemon killing either
@@weldonwin No but they certainly died like a guardsmen in no man's land during the Khorne invasion of Terra
I have never played the game, and propably never will, but the universe of WH40K is one of my all time favorites!
Your humble observations and tales, illuminate like the astronomicon's beacon beckons a weary ship. So that It may shed its travails.
40 min?? Talk to me chronicler
I would love to see Terry Tibs of Fonejacker fame, narrate some lore from 30K!!
Lowly Chronicler, With His Histories.
Wonderful! :D
I don't think I've ever heard an account go into so much detail about the experience of the heaving mass of humanity in 40k before.
I absolutely loved this. Your lore videos are simply the best there is.
New to Warhammer 40K, and I have to say this is exactly what I've been looking for in this series.
Also you do a great job orating this. It feels like I'm a student in a vast library being told what to expect by an Elder. I can't wait for more.
Thank you so much, that honestly means the world to me!
@@OculusImperia Yw.😁
Excellent video , I enjoy listening to your videos while I'm converting my chaos knight ... great work
This was stunning. I'm not religious but this gave me chills. A remarkable piece of work. Cannot praise it enough.
Do not praise this humble scriptoris for he only lives for His glory. Praise the God Emperor of Mankind instead.
"Hello newbie. Welcome to Solar's outer perimeter defense. This is your workstation. You check the auspex's reading and proceed according to protocol. Have a seat, scan incoming vessels and I gonna show you." "This vessel here gets a green reading" "It's full of pious pilgrims travelling for Terra. It may pass on to Luna where everybody gets checked and double checked. We cannot take the slightest risk of somebody or something getting to Terra which is not perfectly holy and healthy." "This vessel gets a yellow reading." "Bad luck for those innocents aboard. There may be a mutant or psyker among them. It must be blasted to pieces immediately." "Because of No Risk?" "You are learning fast. No Risk." "This vessel gets a deep red reading. Blast to pieces right? No Risk, right?" "NO! You idiot. That's a Black Ship. It's filled to the brim with the most dangerous psykers you can find in the galaxy. Let it pass straight for Terra so they can be brought to the very sanctum of humanity."
“The difference is the yellow ships take one shot and you keep your job, while the red ships take two shots and you won’t live that long.”
One of my favorite things from the old TTS series was pointing out how the disappearance of Terra's water makes absolutely no sense and basically wouldn't be possible.
Honestly i prefer for better that Terra Ocean are some succesful reestablished by Big E and the Siege killed the original Ocean but slowly Imperium able to restored it lost Artifficial ocean into back again until because demand of Trillions pilgrim,merchant and official being from all galaxy, Terra became Ecumenopolis Global Hive World and the Ocean essentially just Huge Continent spanned drainage system
