I can't tell which one has the more horrible fate, the psykers sacrificed for the emperor - or the emperor himself, having been made ultimately into everything he despises and trapped in undeath.
I believe he would hate the world that has formed after the events of the heresy. But the last priest of Terra did warn him this would happen as it’s human nature..
To be 100% honest i feel that this was the plans of the dark gods all along. They never really wanted to 'win' the HH. IF they did the universe becomes a giant eye of terror basically/more or less and its just a mirror of the warp - IE the great game. But to have the emperor chained to his throne, and have his subjects struggle with the darkness that is 40k generation after generation? They would feed greatly off of that - and after all that's what warp gods do. They want to be believed in, prayed to, feared, acknowledged. They could never kill the Emperor - especially after his visit to them and the powers he was granted many fold so they did the next best thing. Where there is total victory - there is no war but a form of 'peace' no matter how horrid. They lose power during these times. Just my head canon.
Don't think that was the Astronomican. Pretty sure they were the lot straight up fed to Big E. The Astronomican is run by 10,000 of the strongest psykers and is generally described as being filled with silver light.

In my personal opinion I do like the way the narrative was. Only in the wildest parts of my imagination have I dreamt of a people with their own traditions looking into the imperium of man from a different lens. It was without a doubt captivating.
fantastic work! one of the best emperor origin videos on youtube. so many just copy and paste from lexicanum, but you truly put the effort in to create character!
This dude is the best...I want to start a movement to get Baldie on with GW and BL to be an author...like I want him to write lore and be canon...image a series of books on THADDEUS...and the White Scar and the eldar(drawing a blank on the red eagle and white tiger or whatever lol). But you get what I'm saying....
Your opening stories are so incredible. Some of the most powerful storytelling in the entire setting. Your stories perfectly capture the essence and feeling of the setting. You capture the MOOD so much better than the Black Library writers. You are amazing
That audio drama at the begining was truely powerfull. You truely have a way with words that paints the grim darkness. A fine intro to the master of terra, the most complex character in Warhammer. Interesting to see what the fully made god emperor will do in the 42nd millenia.
It reminded my of our current generation and the propaganda of these dark days. The females hatred only surpassed by khorne and slaanesh in their degenerate fever of corruption. The quota's and forced intergration and communists swarming the sky's like some tyrannid hive fleet. Darkness, darkness, they are coming.....
personal head cannon but what he said about the emperor/tribes makes me think of BSG's Lord of Kobal, 13 Tribes of man. With Holy Terra Being the lost 13th tribe. hell of a coincidence? maybe these shamans were the Lords of Kobal?!
@@FuckoffgoogleGetDoxxedCringe, truly the lowest of the low the dregs of society, no wonder why you type sit at the very bottom of male social hierarchy.
What a fantastic story to start off with. Most videos about the Emperor gloss over the fact he consumes psykers en masse, but here you've woven a horrifying, grimdark tale of what it must be like for those people to be dragged from their simple worlds and brought into the madness of the Imperium.
@@Baldermort "Master of Mankind" is a "must read" for any WH40K fan. It gives the most information about the Emperor of any BL book. From his childhood, to the creation of what will be called the Custodies. The Thunder Warriors. His feelings toward the Primarchs. There is a scene where he asks one of his One Thousand (Custodes) what he sees that reminded me of a classic scene from the famous book "1984" by George Orwell. Read "1984" if you haven't already. The Emperor is Big Brother manifested.
I thought the same, it's easy when its just a number but when baldy gives just one of them a story its suddenly horrifying. Reminds me of a comment attributed to Stalin (paraphrasing) "one death is a tragedy, a million, a statistic".
@@desolation11 There are a lot of people who say 10,000 as the number, because of the Golden Throne failing. I haven't been able to fact check that, but if you go online people throw all kinds of different sources around and a lot people agree about it. There could also be confusion between the number of sacrificed psykers to the Throne, and the trained psykers who "willing" power the Astronomican, of which about 100 die every day and need to be replaced.
On holy terra born and raised. In the middle-east was where I spent most of my days. Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool And all shootin some raiders outside of the school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mentor got scared He said 'We're making some Thunder Warriors before you start your little unification of this world."
Here's a question no one has ever answered. Instead of the black ships giving pyskers to the Throne, how about they just clone them? Then just put the rest into service after the binding ritual. Like get a good solid shipments of very good grade psykers then clone them. When the clones start to fail or the genetic templates needs a refresh repeat. That way you don't have to worry about the shipments and it can be a bit more humain---- I just made myself lol at that. Nevermind.

And if im not mistaken this is how space marine organs for new chapters are created when the high lords give the OK for their creation. May not be as long now with the raptor/primaris maker genesis vaults. IDK /nerd off
@@TKUltra971 dunno about Cawl (and his lore can go fluff (hehe) itself really) but new astartes chapters are created with stored geneseed that all chapters are obligated to give to the Imperium every now and then. No cloning there.
@@betchersgland7236 no, new chapters made. total new chapters, made with gene seed from mars. Then they have to go through lobotomized slaves or clones to check stability. This lore hasn't changed so you're not totally wrong. warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Founding
BIG E!!! Legend has it that Baldermort was the lone figure who stood between Horus and The Emperor. In honour of his sacrifice, they made him into the immortal servo skull we see now. Fantastic video, as always!

Baldermorts God tier voice accompanied the chill down my spine upon the silent realization that upwards of 36.5 billion psykers souls were fed to the God Emperor and I felt the goosebumps on my flesh exactly at the 20th minute of this masterwork of a video. Im just binging these now, for sleep in the face of such brilliant storytelling and voice acting is trully heretical.
I physically cannot comprehend how astonishingly fast your channel growth has been. It is honestly incredible. You definitely deserve it all and more some, however.
To anyone that hasnt, I suggest reading "The Master of Mankind". I love a good Emp vid! I am one of the few who sympathize with the Emp. As long as he was alive, I think he had succeeded, failed, been the good guy, the bad guy, the tyrant, the benevolent, he'd been betrayed, he'd been a betrayer, a sorcerer, so many things... Who are any of us to really even fathom what a person that is self aware for thousands of years watching learning and studying his fellow humans behaviours... We aren't very trustworthy creatures, especially en masse... He learned his habits somewhere.... GW has a gold mine if they ever decide to educate us all on why the Emperor is the way he is... Everything else is just opinion, but I'm team Emp and I don't judge him because he is correct that ignorance of Chaos can keep it away... But he did a piss poor job of managing that fact... He kind just "let shit happen" and wrapping himself up in the Web Way project didn't exactly give him free time to implement a way to maybe ease one or two of his son's j to the idea of Chaos... I don't know, like I said, GW has an entire book series waiting to be written. Thanks Baldermort, your videos are entertaining, an like one of the other commentors said.... You are up there with Luetin... Luetin is top dog for quality and good research...!!! Keep it coming Baldermort it clears we are all happy with your vision man!
Still judge him as a massive hypocrite who was ultimately wrong to hide the nature of the warp from humanity and especially his primarchs. See the Interex.
@@brigidtheirish just finished the interex ordeal... That was a great story... I almost wished they had survived, their xeno inclusive society left me with a lot of new questions...
@brigidtheirish well chaos tempts people sure you can say not knowing about chaos is what caused several primarchs and people to fall or you can say that knowing about chaos is what drives people to worship it there is relly no right answer there. As for the Interex they were screwed over by Erebus who stole there chaos sword despite the fact that anyone sensible would have destroyed or locked away a chaos weapon instead of keeping it in a museum I always kind of though the Interex kind of sucked we don't relly get to see what there empire is like other than there on good terms with eldar despite the fact that the eldar see most humans as lesser beings and don't tend to associate with them.
Last autmn I was cutting grass. It was pleasant evening, sun was coloring everyhing to warm organge and I was listening 40k lore videos, just for fun. That was the moment I listened (quite probably) my first of Your videos. This one. To that day I heard quite a few 40k stories, some of them dark, but I enjoyed the fictional future. Story of the Wind Whisperers brought my naive misperceptions down, like a unbearable veil of sorrows - the sheer magnitude of despair directly linked to a beacon of hope, The Emperor!.. yet just an insignificant portion of horrors that takes place with every breath across the 40k universe ... it was heavy beyond comprehension. This is not my favourite video You ever made, but I feel it is the best one. It is exceptionally well written and spoken ... and truly nightmarish.
Maybe one of the oldest debates within the 41st millennium, A God or just a Man, what ever your stance there's no denying the Power of the greatest psycher of all time!
The horrors of War, the atrocities and tradegies. They are well known and an unwelcome companion. But this here, this frightens me. Repulsive. Great job Brother
Even as a corpse, his grimdark existence and it's effects on everything surrounding it... Monstrous, horrific, cosmically nightmarish. I love it. My Glorious Golden Overlord T-T
This is the story of the origin of the emperor I like the most that I’ve read in the wh40k lore. The story of the shamans, the pilgrimage, the speeches, makes this perfect. I applaud you brother baldermort. Let’s not forget the intro story of the windmakers. That was also splendid. I don’t know how you do such great work time and time again.
Big E- " Kitten, what's the menu for dinner tonight?" Kitten- " we have a delectable plate of low level psychers, followed by some Necromunchies" Big E-"yee!"
It's the subtle things that add so much flavor to these narrations. The slow movement into photos makes me loss sense that I have been looking at one picture but it feels like so much more! bravo!
Damn, first off this was absolutely amazing. I cannot overstate that enough. I feel so lucky to have come across this. Secondly, this really painted the brutal and terrible nature of the world. Very grim dark. I loved these stories, and i agree that the shaman story is my favorite story
My Good Sir, your content magnificently entertains those of us... Grizzled veterans of the lore, and those new to it. Yet the wonderful duality of such dazzling verbosity is that it introduces passerbys on the nearly infinite byways of the web to this wonderful escape. Bravo Good Sir, Bravo. TTFN!
This channel deserves a million subs. Fantastic story telling and script. Peerless narrator. Seriously these videos are the kind of quality content you normally don't get on RUclips. My favorite channel currently.
My Lord Emperor. . .words can not express the level of pain and ardent devotion this character stirs up in me... my lord emperor, the dream is dead but mankind still endures, trough your eternal sacrifice and service to mankind, we endure. Praise be to the God Emperor of man!! blessed all in his service, Blessed be those that lay down their lives in His name, Praise be his eternal light and his holy servants, for only those stand between mankind and eternal damnation.. blessed be the which-spawn of the Empire, for every and any soul such as those , is worthy to comune with the emperor at His table.
You are a very, very tallented writer. Really love all the storys and appreciate the obvious amount of effort you put into them. Keep up the amazing work
"Meager skills"? Baldermort, friend, you sell yourself too short. I have been a fan of 40K since I was a child, I've seen many lore videos over the years. Yours are the ones I look forward to the most. Thank you.
This has been absolutely delicious. The effort put forth in the major entries is noted, my friend. Much love. Thank you. Your channel has brought me great joy.
Your one of the few individuals on this planet who’s words, and works can actually make me weep… You…Craftsman extraordinaire… You and yours, Be well. 😎
Can’t imagine the meat and sauce being a great deal sweeter regardless of wether or not it bares Black Library’s stamp. I’ve been getting to the point with the narratives in these videos that their consistent emotive depth and quality leave me wanting Black library to employ Baldemort. I feel that based on his grasp of the soul of this universe his work should hence forth be considered canonical.
Ranger Smith oh, crumbs no. Thank you for the huge compliment, but I churn out anything up to three stories a week. Those guys craft their product. The music and ‘voice’ make it sound a trillion times better than it reads. Also this is only my take on things. I am regularly proven wrong by experts in their niche or corner of the universe. I just have a broad idea and a wish to entertain and maybe update newer players or enthusiasts. Lol. ;).
This is the first video of yours I've watched. That short story was nothing short of fantastic. I genuinely thought it might have been an excerpt from a novel. Excellent work. I'm happy to have stumbled onto your channel and greatly look forward to working my way through your library.
Damn, these stories you cooked up for us this time are certainly chilling. Even if they are not exactly or even actually how these events would go down, it honestly doesn't matter. Nothing in this universe is canon to begin with, so if anything adding another layer or interpretation to the mix is a good and welcome thing from me. After all, they are only just stories. Stories of how individuals in the universe see the events unfold to them, whether that's how the actual event went down or not. (Also, amazing work as always. I love your creations, keep at your labour of love!)
Mental Dichotomy thank you brother. They’re just tales to get people interested. It’s a murky old world so I am trying to put in even more effort than usual to be a tiny distraction. Really glad you are enjoying them brother. :).
Man as i started realizing that your describing these poor people being fed to the golden throne literally chills went through my body and tears came to my eyes lol. That shit caught me off guard so hard! Absolutely incredible as always
Why are you so amazing? Like seriously, I can not get enough of your audio dramas and voice. You really understand these stories, thank you for sharing them with us.
I hope I will live to see the emperor's reaction to the imperium and whether he succumbs to the feeling of utter failure or he goes on a redeeming crusade to make sure the sacrifices made were not for naught.
Chaos Marines: My God is blood and war and has a hard on for skulls! Mine is eating your souls! Mine spreads a plaque through out the stars! Mine is pure sin! The golden throne: Yes
This single act of needed to be fed human souls in order to live blurs the lines between the Emperor and the chaos gods so thin it'd be truly laughable if it wasn't so tragic.
Seriously it's just another dark god at that point, definitely not worthy of worship. Oh, you can make arguments for its necessity, that ceasing it would cause more suffering than to continue... but not worship, no.
Matt D would you rather be tortured every second as a soul for ETERNITY? Or would you rather die and be done with it? 🤔 I’ll take the man-god over chaos any day.
Baldermort, my good sir, your skills are beyond measure. I don't know how but you have certainly sharpened those skills since you started the channel, and this is definitely the best job yet.
OMG ITS ACTUALLY HERE, BLESSED ARE WE THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN AND FOLLOWER'S OF HIS MOST FAVOURITE SON BALDEMORT!!!! (Seriously I haven't even watched the vid yet and already know I'll love it)
I am really enjoying the short stories and narration. I did not realize from the other videos that you wrote them yourself. Thank you for improving my day.
Every single bad thing to happen in the galaxy for the last 65 millions years can be laid at the salty feet of the edge lord necrons. Death of the old ones? Necrons. Vampire space gods? Necrons. Reason why most worlds are barren? Necrons. Chaos? Necrons did it. Daemons ? Necrons made them by starting the war in heaven? Orcs and Eldar? old ones made both when the necrons back them into a corner. And the imperium become a sad parody of what it was? THE NECRONS! BECAUSE THEY MADE CHAOS!
And all of this would have been avoided if the Old Ones had acted like the benevolent rulers they were supposed to be and helped the Necrotyr with their health problems instead.
@@R0230R would you help people who couldn't stop fighting each other and conquered and or exterminated entire spices? the fact that the necrons knee jerk response was to try to murder the entire species speaks of the old ones wisdom and foresight, not their arrogance. could the old ones have handled it better? maybe. But instead of getting their act together they declared edge lord war because they were butt hurt that they got told 'no'. That's an edge lord move.
@@smity739 Dude do you realise what an existence of constant pain(from birth) and the knowledge of a very short lifespan does to a person's psychi. now grantify that to an entire species and it becames impressive that they became Space fairing with all they had to deal with. honestly it's not a maybe; the Old One could easily make a deal with the Triarc to help the species out in exchange of them stopping their expansion. with the resources and power they had they could make sure the Necrotyr would keep their end of the bargain. the C'Tan are literally the result of the Necrotyr' desperation, which could be avoided if they were more careful.
@@R0230R Circumstance does not grant absolution when there are other options available. The necrons COULD have done a great deal of different less genocidal things other then try to mass murder the galaxy equivalent of neonatologists. They, as a whole, not a faction, not a single ruler, but the entire species as a WHOLE untied and got behind genocide. And yes, I know what it is like to be in constant pain, its not fun, but I didn't walk into the doctors office with an A.K. when they told me my insurance didn't cover my injury and would have to go through workman's comp, nor did I unite my neighbors and family to slaughter the company lawyers office when I was denied. In the end, we are who we choose to be. Our actions define us, not our conditions. And the necrons didn't just go after the old ones, they went after the species who the old ones helped. Its the equivalent of your neighbor not lending you his power tools due to you taking other peoples tools without asking, so you beat his dog to death and justifying it do to being in pain and telling the cops you should not be arrested because of an injury you have that your neighbor had nothing to do with.
@@smity739 Highly doubt you know pain and suffering of their caliber and since birth, or that you were rised in an almost hopeless and nihilistic culture/environment. yeah, even their aristocraticy lived in such a manner and viewpoint. also it's very easy to say that "circumstances do not grant absolution" when you are living in a perfectly comfortable position compared to the aggressor/once victim. the Necrotyr were in a brutal civil war before they decided to go in a war against the Old Ones, which would end in their extinction or a serious regression as a species, the Triarch simply didn't had many choices their other than to divert their aggression/focus to something else. honestly if the Old Ones weren't as arrogant as they were and instead were more careful, or at very least finished the job instead of leaving them to suffer a slow extinction, maybe the hole current setting of 40k wouldn't be as horrendous as we know it.
You NEED to open a discord dude, get a community going! Your work NEEDS to be seen and noticed, it’s unbelievable! You actually give me a dark insight of the 41st millennium, and your audio logs have genuinely helped my storytelling. I’m still baffled you’re only at 20k subs.
The most powerful of the perpetuals but didn’t like working with the others. A female perpetual named Erda gave him a unique gene to complete the Primarch project (and by extension the Space Marines). If the Emperor was their father, Erda was their Mother. And it was Erda who scattered the Primarchs.
kelman727 didn’t know that. I’ll have to research. Hells bells, the bugger all I know these days. I used to think I had a fair grasp of the basics. Lol. It’s soooo huge. :).
Wally PW Retcon is a bit of a feeble term when you apply it to something that was openly presented as conjecture right from the beginning. And to some people anything involving women in 40k is ‘controversial.’ Perhaps not people to be taken seriously.
@@kelman727 Its not because of Women. Its because the 'Perpetuals' are a stupid idea and are ruining the whole theme of Warhammer. And Retcon is the perfect term as it basically sets in stone the whole perpetual stupidity as well as changing the primarch creation and scattering mythos. Saturnine was a badly written fanfic and was about as useful as toilet paper.
@Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer So you wrote all that yourself? Honestly thought you were reading an already published short story there for a while, really well done man :D Loved this video.

The Emperor of Mankind, HA! We fought for him, bled for him, DIED for him. And in the end what did he do? Cleanse us like some infestation. We were his Thunder Warriors the FIRST! Unified his Imperium in his name. Only not to be viewed as his beloved warriors, but his dirty little secret! Be warned Astardes, he will toss you aside like he did us! 😋😋😋😋
My brothers and sisters, please give a moment of silence, for the greatest man who ever lived. He never gave up on our race when we betrayed him. He still sits on his Golden throne, screaming a silent shout of defiance and pain that no one will ever hear...except those disgusting, laughing gods. Remember, for ten thousand years he stood against the laughing gods yet the Imperium still stands. It breaks my heart to know that our species could be so corrupted and betray our Emperor, but we will strive, we will endure, we will hope and we will continue our defiance against a galaxy, that hates us because we defy them. If our beloved Emperor, can withstand ten thousand years of pain, then so can we. The Emperor Protects!!!
These stories are so good. The lore is fantastic as well. Is really the perfect mix. I can and often do just let the channels videos play. Never once feeling a want to forward or change the channel. Such a great job.

@@Theloneous I'm only really going on what's written in the official fluff. Most codexes and stuff. But yeah. That's the beauty of 40k lore, eh?
Last time I was this early the shamans were still getting out the sacrificial knives.
Nice XD

Fabius bile: "new man, eh?"
*runs to the cloning vats*
Here's a question no one has ever answered. Instead of the black ships giving pyskers to the Throne, how about they just clone them? Then just put the rest into service after the binding ritual.
Like get a good solid shipments of very good grade psykers then clone them. When the clones start to fail or the genetic templates needs a refresh repeat. That way you don't have to worry about the shipments and it can be a bit more humain---- I just made myself lol at that. Nevermind.
The reason is that clones in the warhammer 40k universe dont have a soul... So psykers would not have powers.. Who knowa nonetheless
@@320466 Explain belarus Cawl. Vat borne slaves are actually a thing. Cawl says he was created as one before his weird and absurd backstory. And if im not mistaken this is how space marine organs for new chapters are created when the high lords give the OK for their creation. May not be as long now with the raptor/primaris maker genesis vaults. IDK /nerd off
@@TKUltra971 dunno about Cawl (and his lore can go fluff (hehe) itself really) but new astartes chapters are created with stored geneseed that all chapters are obligated to give to the Imperium every now and then. No cloning there.
@@betchersgland7236 no, new chapters made. total new chapters, made with gene seed from mars. Then they have to go through lobotomized slaves or clones to check stability. This lore hasn't changed so you're not totally wrong.

Dude you have the pefect voice for narrating 40k.
BIG E!!! Legend has it that Baldermort was the lone figure who stood between Horus and The Emperor. In honour of his sacrifice, they made him into the immortal servo skull we see now.
Fantastic video, as always!

The little detail of paths being worn into the marble was a pretty special piece of storytelling, really brings home the reality of the situation.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Baldermorts God tier voice accompanied the chill down my spine upon the silent realization that upwards of 36.5 billion psykers souls were fed to the God Emperor and I felt the goosebumps on my flesh exactly at the 20th minute of this masterwork of a video. Im just binging these now, for sleep in the face of such brilliant storytelling and voice acting is trully heretical.
I physically cannot comprehend how astonishingly fast your channel growth has been. It is honestly incredible. You definitely deserve it all and more some, however.
To anyone that hasnt, I suggest reading "The Master of Mankind".
I love a good Emp vid! I am one of the few who sympathize with the Emp. As long as he was alive, I think he had succeeded, failed, been the good guy, the bad guy, the tyrant, the benevolent, he'd been betrayed, he'd been a betrayer, a sorcerer, so many things...
Who are any of us to really even fathom what a person that is self aware for thousands of years watching learning and studying his fellow humans behaviours... We aren't very trustworthy creatures, especially en masse... He learned his habits somewhere....
GW has a gold mine if they ever decide to educate us all on why the Emperor is the way he is...
Everything else is just opinion, but I'm team Emp and I don't judge him because he is correct that ignorance of Chaos can keep it away... But he did a piss poor job of managing that fact... He kind just "let shit happen" and wrapping himself up in the Web Way project didn't exactly give him free time to implement a way to maybe ease one or two of his son's j to the idea of Chaos... I don't know, like I said, GW has an entire book series waiting to be written.
Thanks Baldermort, your videos are entertaining, an like one of the other commentors said.... You are up there with Luetin... Luetin is top dog for quality and good research...!!!
Keep it coming Baldermort it clears we are all happy with your vision man!
Still judge him as a massive hypocrite who was ultimately wrong to hide the nature of the warp from humanity and especially his primarchs. See the Interex.
@Tip Top thanks for the tip... Aside from the other stuff I'm reading, gotta add it to the list!!!
@@brigidtheirish just finished the interex ordeal... That was a great story... I almost wished they had survived, their xeno inclusive society left me with a lot of new questions...
@@qigonglungz Yeah, they got pretty thoroughly screwed over.
@brigidtheirish well chaos tempts people sure you can say not knowing about chaos is what caused several primarchs and people to fall or you can say that knowing about chaos is what drives people to worship it there is relly no right answer there.
As for the Interex they were screwed over by Erebus who stole there chaos sword despite the fact that anyone sensible would have destroyed or locked away a chaos weapon instead of keeping it in a museum
I always kind of though the Interex kind of sucked we don't relly get to see what there empire is like other than there on good terms with eldar despite the fact that the eldar see most humans as lesser beings and don't tend to associate with them.
Last autmn I was cutting grass. It was pleasant evening, sun was coloring everyhing to warm organge and I was listening 40k lore videos, just for fun. That was the moment I listened (quite probably) my first of Your videos. This one.
To that day I heard quite a few 40k stories, some of them dark, but I enjoyed the fictional future. Story of the Wind Whisperers brought my naive misperceptions down, like a unbearable veil of sorrows - the sheer magnitude of despair directly linked to a beacon of hope, The Emperor!.. yet just an insignificant portion of horrors that takes place with every breath across the 40k universe ... it was heavy beyond comprehension.
This is not my favourite video You ever made, but I feel it is the best one. It is exceptionally well written and spoken ... and truly nightmarish.
I just want to add - that intro was truly something. As a story teller you have the gift (along with the narration).
Some call him Father, some call him A God others refer to him as The Arch hypocrite but All know him as The Emperor of mankind !
Beloved by all!
Not quite All!
Death to the False Emperor! ;)
*racks arming rod of boltergun*
Who here calls the Emperor of Mankind a hypocrite? Show yourself, face his Judgement!
Maybe one of the oldest debates within the 41st millennium, A God or just a Man, what ever your stance there's no denying the Power of the greatest psycher of all time!
Emperor be praised! You are doing good work brother Baldemort!
The horrors of War, the atrocities and tradegies. They are well known and an unwelcome companion. But this here, this frightens me. Repulsive.
Great job Brother
iamDecaydence glad it was distracting brother. It is a grim dark setting. :).

Hell no. I never want to go there.
I don't know, man, being a Daemon Prince wouldn't be half bad, hahaha.
@@SarithenVol what you have to endure and go through to get there tho dear god!
Baldermort, man, your stories consistently put shivers in my spine and water in my eyes. You breathe life into the lore of Warhammer!

Love this kind of content! All ways sends my fantasy running. Keep up the good work, all the love from Sweden
That Voice!, the Cadence, the pauses, the timbre, the moments of Reflection and the elocution. WOW! Subscribed!!
Both Stories were fantastic. I really loved your interpretation on the shaman meeting.
Bohdan Bilas thank you brother Bohdan. :) :) :).
This is the story of the origin of the emperor I like the most that I’ve read in the wh40k lore. The story of the shamans, the pilgrimage, the speeches, makes this perfect. I applaud you brother baldermort. Let’s not forget the intro story of the windmakers. That was also splendid. I don’t know how you do such great work time and time again.
Big E- " Kitten, what's the menu for dinner tonight?"
Kitten- " we have a delectable plate of low level psychers, followed by some Necromunchies"
Big E-"yee!"
It's the subtle things that add so much flavor to these narrations. The slow movement into photos makes me loss sense that I have been looking at one picture but it feels like so much more! bravo!
Love the narrative style in this one! You'll definitely need many perspectives when trying to tackle the Emperor.
Had to listen twice. I was cooking dinner and getting distracted. Thoroughly enjoyable, as always.
Heather Ordonez I Hope dinner was amazing. :).
Of course, tacos, black beans and rice. A "feast".
Damn, first off this was absolutely amazing. I cannot overstate that enough. I feel so lucky to have come across this. Secondly, this really painted the brutal and terrible nature of the world. Very grim dark. I loved these stories, and i agree that the shaman story is my favorite story
Oh my god that was one of the best story telling i have ever experienced! What a journey!
I wish you all a happy easter and thank you baldermort for the great evening entertainment!

My Good Sir, your content magnificently entertains those of us... Grizzled veterans of the lore, and those new to it. Yet the wonderful duality of such dazzling verbosity is that it introduces passerbys on the nearly infinite byways of the web to this wonderful escape. Bravo Good Sir, Bravo. TTFN!

Oh, you mean the guy who is Baldermort of nature and ant programmes?
My Lord Emperor. . .words can not express the level of pain and ardent devotion this character stirs up in me...
my lord emperor, the dream is dead but mankind still endures, trough your eternal sacrifice and service to mankind, we endure.
Praise be to the God Emperor of man!! blessed all in his service, Blessed be those that lay down their lives in His name, Praise be his eternal light and his holy servants, for only those stand between mankind and eternal damnation.. blessed be the which-spawn of the Empire, for every and any soul such as those , is worthy to comune with the emperor at His table.
You are a very, very tallented writer. Really love all the storys and appreciate the obvious amount of effort you put into them. Keep up the amazing work
"Meager skills"?
Baldermort, friend, you sell yourself too short. I have been a fan of 40K since I was a child, I've seen many lore videos over the years. Yours are the ones I look forward to the most.
Thank you.
This has been absolutely delicious. The effort put forth in the major entries is noted, my friend. Much love. Thank you. Your channel has brought me great joy.
Kyle Zimmermann thank you brother. Elated you enjoyed it. :).
Great stories!!! So dark, so grim, so fun!!
Thanks
Sir, your gift of capturing the human side of this setting is one of kind in youtube. You add even more soul to 40k, thanks!
David schäfer thank you for your generous comment brother. :).

You…Craftsman extraordinaire…
You and yours, Be well. 😎
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can’t imagine the meat and sauce being a great deal sweeter regardless of wether or not it bares Black Library’s stamp.
I’ve been getting to the point with the narratives in these videos that their consistent emotive depth and quality leave me wanting Black library to employ Baldemort. I feel that based on his grasp of the soul of this universe his work should hence forth be considered canonical.
Ranger Smith oh, crumbs no. Thank you for the huge compliment, but I churn out anything up to three stories a week. Those guys craft their product. The music and ‘voice’ make it sound a trillion times better than it reads. Also this is only my take on things. I am regularly proven wrong by experts in their niche or corner of the universe. I just have a broad idea and a wish to entertain and maybe update newer players or enthusiasts. Lol. ;).
Well then my thanks, for I have been most entertained. Looking forward to the next one.
Your videos are of absolute quality. Thank you for these times.
This is the first video of yours I've watched. That short story was nothing short of fantastic. I genuinely thought it might have been an excerpt from a novel. Excellent work. I'm happy to have stumbled onto your channel and greatly look forward to working my way through your library.
You have to be one of the best narrators on RUclips. It is a crime that you don't have multiple millions of subscribers. Cheers!!!
Damn, these stories you cooked up for us this time are certainly chilling. Even if they are not exactly or even actually how these events would go down, it honestly doesn't matter. Nothing in this universe is canon to begin with, so if anything adding another layer or interpretation to the mix is a good and welcome thing from me.
After all, they are only just stories. Stories of how individuals in the universe see the events unfold to them, whether that's how the actual event went down or not. (Also, amazing work as always. I love your creations, keep at your labour of love!)
Mental Dichotomy thank you brother. They’re just tales to get people interested. It’s a murky old world so I am trying to put in even more effort than usual to be a tiny distraction. Really glad you are enjoying them brother. :).
Man as i started realizing that your describing these poor people being fed to the golden throne literally chills went through my body and tears came to my eyes lol. That shit caught me off guard so hard! Absolutely incredible as always
By the Throne I have waited for this moment. Great stuff mate.
Dan Aban I hope you enjoy. :).
Why are you so amazing? Like seriously, I can not get enough of your audio dramas and voice. You really understand these stories, thank you for sharing them with us.
I hope I will live to see the emperor's reaction to the imperium and whether he succumbs to the feeling of utter failure or he goes on a redeeming crusade to make sure the sacrifices made were not for naught.
Love you Baldermort. The care you put into your work is so evident and appreciated
My God that opening! Was that the darkest grimmest ever or the grimmest darkest ever? Reminds me of that Mel Gibson film Apocalypcia
With all due respect to everyone making Warhammer content right now, this is without a doubt my favorite channel.
Yes he did the emperor!! Thank you
My favorite Loremaster by far!!! Keep it up!! Your story’s always paint such a rich and beautiful image.
Chaos Marines: My God is blood and war and has a hard on for skulls! Mine is eating your souls! Mine spreads a plaque through out the stars! Mine is pure sin!
The golden throne: Yes
Been looking for 40k lore for awhile and no one goes in to detail like you or with the care that you do...... for that brother I thank you
This single act of needed to be fed human souls in order to live blurs the lines between the Emperor and the chaos gods so thin it'd be truly laughable if it wasn't so tragic.
Seriously it's just another dark god at that point, definitely not worthy of worship.
Oh, you can make arguments for its necessity, that ceasing it would cause more suffering than to continue... but not worship, no.
Matt D would you rather be tortured every second as a soul for ETERNITY? Or would you rather die and be done with it? 🤔
I’ll take the man-god over chaos any day.
Baldermort, my good sir, your skills are beyond measure. I don't know how but you have certainly sharpened those skills since you started the channel, and this is definitely the best job yet.
michael howell thank you brother. You really think so? Yay! I did really try on this one. Thank you. ;).
@@Baldermort most definitely. When it ended, I hollered out "oh man!". It was really amazing, the stories and narration were phenomenal, sir.
OMG ITS ACTUALLY HERE, BLESSED ARE WE THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN AND FOLLOWER'S OF HIS MOST FAVOURITE SON BALDEMORT!!!! (Seriously I haven't even watched the vid yet and already know I'll love it)
Bestest servant of the om-nom-nisiah!
I am really enjoying the short stories and narration. I did not realize from the other videos that you wrote them yourself. Thank you for improving my day.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Every single bad thing to happen in the galaxy for the last 65 millions years can be laid at the salty feet of the edge lord necrons. Death of the old ones? Necrons. Vampire space gods? Necrons. Reason why most worlds are barren? Necrons. Chaos? Necrons did it. Daemons ? Necrons made them by starting the war in heaven? Orcs and Eldar? old ones made both when the necrons back them into a corner. And the imperium become a sad parody of what it was? THE NECRONS! BECAUSE THEY MADE CHAOS!
And all of this would have been avoided if the Old Ones had acted like the benevolent rulers they were supposed to be and helped the Necrotyr with their health problems instead.
@@R0230R would you help people who couldn't stop fighting each other and conquered and or exterminated entire spices? the fact that the necrons knee jerk response was to try to murder the entire species speaks of the old ones wisdom and foresight, not their arrogance. could the old ones have handled it better? maybe. But instead of getting their act together they declared edge lord war because they were butt hurt that they got told 'no'. That's an edge lord move.
@@smity739
Dude do you realise what an existence of constant pain(from birth) and the knowledge of a very short lifespan does to a person's psychi. now grantify that to an entire species and it becames impressive that they became Space fairing with all they had to deal with.
honestly it's not a maybe; the Old One could easily make a deal with the Triarc to help the species out in exchange of them stopping their expansion. with the resources and power they had they could make sure the Necrotyr would keep their end of the bargain.
the C'Tan are literally the result of the Necrotyr' desperation, which could be avoided if they were more careful.
@@R0230R Circumstance does not grant absolution when there are other options available. The necrons COULD have done a great deal of different less genocidal things other then try to mass murder the galaxy equivalent of neonatologists. They, as a whole, not a faction, not a single ruler, but the entire species as a WHOLE untied and got behind genocide. And yes, I know what it is like to be in constant pain, its not fun, but I didn't walk into the doctors office with an A.K. when they told me my insurance didn't cover my injury and would have to go through workman's comp, nor did I unite my neighbors and family to slaughter the company lawyers office when I was denied. In the end, we are who we choose to be. Our actions define us, not our conditions. And the necrons didn't just go after the old ones, they went after the species who the old ones helped. Its the equivalent of your neighbor not lending you his power tools due to you taking other peoples tools without asking, so you beat his dog to death and justifying it do to being in pain and telling the cops you should not be arrested because of an injury you have that your neighbor had nothing to do with.
@@smity739
Highly doubt you know pain and suffering of their caliber and since birth, or that you were rised in an almost hopeless and nihilistic culture/environment. yeah, even their aristocraticy lived in such a manner and viewpoint.
also it's very easy to say that "circumstances do not grant absolution" when you are living in a perfectly comfortable position compared to the aggressor/once victim.
the Necrotyr were in a brutal civil war before they decided to go in a war against the Old Ones, which would end in their extinction or a serious regression as a species, the Triarch simply didn't had many choices their other than to divert their aggression/focus to something else.
honestly if the Old Ones weren't as arrogant as they were and instead were more careful, or at very least finished the job instead of leaving them to suffer a slow extinction, maybe the hole current setting of 40k wouldn't be as horrendous as we know it.
You NEED to open a discord dude, get a community going! Your work NEEDS to be seen and noticed, it’s unbelievable! You actually give me a dark insight of the 41st millennium, and your audio logs have genuinely helped my storytelling. I’m still baffled you’re only at 20k subs.

posh rocky thanks brother Posh Rocky. As always. :).
The most powerful of the perpetuals but didn’t like working with the others.
A female perpetual named Erda gave him a unique gene to complete the Primarch project (and by extension the Space Marines). If the Emperor was their father, Erda was their Mother.
And it was Erda who scattered the Primarchs.

@@Baldermort Latest retcons from the new novel Saturnine...very controversial
Wally PW
Retcon is a bit of a feeble term when you apply it to something that was openly presented as conjecture right from the beginning.
And to some people anything involving women in 40k is ‘controversial.’
Perhaps not people to be taken seriously.
@@kelman727 Its not because of Women. Its because the 'Perpetuals' are a stupid idea and are ruining the whole theme of Warhammer. And Retcon is the perfect term as it basically sets in stone the whole perpetual stupidity as well as changing the primarch creation and scattering mythos. Saturnine was a badly written fanfic and was about as useful as toilet paper.
I am addicted to your videos and watch them all the time. In fact youre a huge part of my friend and I getting into the hobby

The Emperor of Mankind, HA! We fought for him, bled for him, DIED for him. And in the end what did he do? Cleanse us like some infestation. We were his Thunder Warriors the FIRST! Unified his Imperium in his name. Only not to be viewed as his beloved warriors, but his dirty little secret! Be warned Astardes, he will toss you aside like he did us! 😋😋😋😋
Wow!! Your narrative quality is unmatched. You’ve rightfully earned a new subscriber, and I’ll be binge watching your lore videos post haste.
My brothers and sisters, please give a moment of silence, for the greatest man who ever lived. He never gave up on our race when we betrayed him. He still sits on his Golden throne, screaming a silent shout of defiance and pain that no one will ever hear...except those disgusting, laughing gods. Remember, for ten thousand years he stood against the laughing gods yet the Imperium still stands. It breaks my heart to know that our species could be so corrupted and betray our Emperor, but we will strive, we will endure, we will hope and we will continue our defiance against a galaxy, that hates us because we defy them. If our beloved Emperor, can withstand ten thousand years of pain, then so can we. The Emperor Protects!!!
