The funniest part about Drukari is one time the Tau thought doing a little cultural exchange with the dark haunting, skull-wearing elves was a good idea
I've been watching WH40K lore channels for years, but none of them has resonated with me as much as this one has. Your tales actually conjure vivid images in my mind that I look back to long after listening.
Thank you! I mean that's really my goal for this channel. I don't really care so much about getting my opinion, or thoughts on the setting across, but I do really want to write something which can immerse people into the world. It's why I keep everything vaguely "in universe", just so that people don't get pulled out of the video (if that makes sense). Plus I mean its such a good setting, with such rich and dense lore that I can really go quite deep on some of the writing to get certain points across. But anyway, I really appreciate it!
@@Scholarslore honestly, your writing is unparalleled among lore channels. All of your videos are so immersive and filled with vivid prose that activates the senses, so you're certainly achieving your goal! At the risk of sounding overly effusive, your videos have the same vibe of a beloved grandfather reading his favorite stories to his grandchildren. Thank you very much for what you do :)
Thank you! I may or may not have been playing a bunch of Darkest Dungeon before working on this one, so my brain was almost entirely focused on "I HAVE to use these words in a script somewhere", but I'm glad it worked out!
Ahhhh, the Drukkari and Commorragh. Such a friendly and heart-warming bunch of Space Elves. The city of Commoragh stands as an unwavering beacon of light, purity and knowledge. 🙃 _Just don´t mention SheWhoThirsts in the general vicinity of a Dark Eldar._
My rogue trader blasted on combat stims tearing a hole in the city above the spire of the reaving tempest: “very nice we’ll have to come back again soon”
before I go to bed and fall asleep to this video I really wanted to thank you for continuing to make videos. the new voice is great and the script is still spot on. I'm always so happy when I see you've posted a new video because I know I'm getting a somewhat unorthodox bedtime story for the evening. Never stop please 🙂
Aw I'm glad they help, and thank you. I'll keep making them for the foreseeable future, I have no reason to think about stopping any time soon, so don't worry, plenty more to come!
I envy you. I got insomnia, and anything audio, story or music, just keeps my attention and brain working on. I needwhite noise, like a fan or something like, to focus on and make my brain quitefor long enough to fall to sleep.. So many nights of mised sleep entirely is how I learned that..
Thank you, and yes the Drukhari are fantastic, I'd really recommend the Andy Chambers novel "Path of the Incubus", since that one takes place within Commorragh, and is a really fun introduction to the world of the Dark Eldar.
Eight minutes in and I'm getting flashbacks of Steven Fry attempting to describe space in Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy... I gotta watch that again. Thanks for the share.
What I like about the Drukhari is that it gives us a pretty good picture of what the average Eldar culture was like pre-fall. Craftworlders and Exodites in reality were the weirdos of the race, we just think they’re normal because they became a majority pretty quickly after everyone else died out.
I find the Dark eldari as somewhat special in 40k.. You could argue that Chaos gods are these selfaware ideas and as such, they are questionably evil.. But the Drukhari.. Because of their need to survive and stay out of grasp of Slanesh, they became, just like Night lords, something as close to true Evil as possible..
They're certainly a dodgy bunch. It's interesting to read novels staring them, since the authors always really lean into their truly sadistic attitudes. I did a patreon video of an excerpt about an Archon gloating over a guardswoman after he killed her husband, and it ends with him snorting at her "attempts" of grieving, since he doubts that humans even have the capacity to appreciate feelings of grief. Very dodgy people, bad eggs all around.
cant link the wikipedia for Egregore but like the highlight is "an esoteric concept representing a non-physical entity or thoughtform that arises from the collective thoughts and emotions of a distinct group of individuals."
Very well explained. Drukhari, are pridefull and lacking empathy while going constantly in and out of soul-withdraw symptoms while living in a ultra-competative city ruled by kabals wich leaves them utterly evil.
Indeed I have, glad you noticed. They should slowly improve as I train it on future generations, but I'm glad that it's at the level that its at now. Thank you!
How about a documentary on the apex predators of the Imperium - the Carcaradons Astra/Space Sharks? Or the alpha of the apex predators - Tyberos the Red Wake?
@relight6931 good question. I've actually been hoping that one of those channels that come up with their own stories do one about the Minotaurs being sent out by the High Lord's to investigate the Space Sharks. Can you imagine the confrontation between Tyberos and Asterion?.
@relight6931 I actually have some head cannon about those two chapters actually being the 2nd and 11th. After all, their chapter masters are the closest of all space marines to being Primarch level. In my head at least.
Hmmm possibly, the only reason I'd be hesitant is that I know a lot of other channels have covered them recently, so I wouldn't want to bog people down in the same content. Perhaps at some point I'll do something on them though, they do have some good stories.
Who doesn't want a living, breathing and screaming toilet! Commoragh got your back. Need a paper to write things, get the best quality paper made by baby skins. Need a necklace, you can get the popular edition, created by the eyes of all kinda sentient species, ohh they also blink while you wear the necklace. And many many more 👾
In Made in Abyss on the sixth layer of the Abyss there is the Golden City of the Scorching Sun, where it is implied that every living thing in that city was once a human that slowly changed it's form to better display it's character and/or desires. Notably there is a living toilet.
I’d love a Dark Eldar book while I assemble my small army. Two Combat Patrol boxes, a Boarding Patrol, Drazhar, an Old Enemies set, and a couple of Star Weavers since I like them better than Venoms.
YES now thats a interesting subject .. Commorragh . Dark Eldar Craftworlds Eldars Rank/type/Units all the Walkers-Titans-mech armor suits all those re very iteresting
As someone that has played rogue trader i can say that its a pretty shitty place but i unleashed a chaos insurance in it and slaanesh especially so im not sure how they are doing now.
If the drukhari ever managed to clone the God Emperor wouldn't it create the perfect vessel for his soul to reincarnate in? I imagine the drukhari celebrating the completion of their dark throne, only for the God Emperor to crash the party by reincarnating in this new body, destroying this most unholy construct in the process, as he unleashes his full divine psychic might.
I think the durkari are lying about them being able to get you in the ghoul stars, I think they are just taking credit for the myriad ways of you dying there that probably always looks horrific, flayed one attack? Druks: Yeah that was definitely us
This might be an unpopular opinion, and I understand it might be necessary for your channel, but I am not really a fan of these redone videos from the old AI Attenborough voice to the new AI voice. I was fortunate enough to save quite a few of the old videos, so I am able to compare both, and the new voice pales against the old. However the new voice comes into it's own when it's a topic not done already and is being newly discussed; those I look forward to. Just my thoughts.
I'd love to see the night lords let loose in the galdatiral pits of commorragh dark elder would not know what hit them.the night lords are fear and terror are made manifest.the da k elder are arrogant enough to assume the 8th legion are just the same as every other legion.putting them in the pit and using fear tactics agenst them would be futile not only that the nigh lords would use those tactics agenst .the elder and there argance would no doubt cost them dearly.so if I was the dark elder and I come across a night lord ship I'd give them a wide birth.
My personal theory is that commoragh was intended to have a longer name but the guy writing it down was assassinated, hence the RAGH at the end
I always thought it was more of a riff off of Sodom and Gamorrah.
@@z00mer oh yeah, definitely. But the assassination mid sentence is my head canon lol
This is why I love the internet. Now every time I see the word, I’m going to see that scribe getting garroted by an inquisitor in my mind.
Monty Python/10
Could be!
The funniest part about Drukari is one time the Tau thought doing a little cultural exchange with the dark haunting, skull-wearing elves was a good idea
“We do a little bit of trolling”- Dark Eldari
One of my favourite Drukhari stories, it was one of the first ones which I wrote down as a video idea
@@Scholarslore: I've never heard that story. Please do a video about it.
Accept Cultural Enrichement or your a bigot.
"For the Greater Good! ..... we think?"
7:47 wtf lol I was not expecting that picture

What a truly glorious and beautiful use of wording in this episode, loved this so much!

I thirst too if woman is thicc enough 😂 dont judge 😂
Truly I'm sure we'd all have a great time on a nice holiday down into Commorragh
My rogue trader blasted on combat stims tearing a hole in the city above the spire of the reaving tempest: “very nice we’ll have to come back again soon”
I really enjoyed the little story of beating the shit out of that flying Drukhari that ambushes you.
You have some of the best written 40k stuff out here, I'm very impressed!
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say
before I go to bed and fall asleep to this video I really wanted to thank you for continuing to make videos. the new voice is great and the script is still spot on. I'm always so happy when I see you've posted a new video because I know I'm getting a somewhat unorthodox bedtime story for the evening. Never stop please 🙂
I am doing the exact same thing right now!
Aw I'm glad they help, and thank you. I'll keep making them for the foreseeable future, I have no reason to think about stopping any time soon, so don't worry, plenty more to come!

A lot of great info! Had no idea there were so much cool things about Drukhari! I’ll have to look into some Drukhari books
Thank you, and yes the Drukhari are fantastic, I'd really recommend the Andy Chambers novel "Path of the Incubus", since that one takes place within Commorragh, and is a really fun introduction to the world of the Dark Eldar.
Eight minutes in and I'm getting flashbacks of Steven Fry attempting to describe space in Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy... I gotta watch that again. Thanks for the share.
Haha, been ages since I've seen that as well
Super enjoyable and nice way of including info on the black throne!
I love your videos so much! I’ve watched them all, some several times. Great info and prose, also like the images. Very well done!
Thank you so much, more and more to come in the future
Man, The quality keeps getting better and better! From the first one to this one! Always improving
Going here in rouge trader was so great
I love your videos. Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you for watching! Appreciate the kind words

You should read about the time the dark Eldar made the night Lords afraid of the dark

"Selfaware ideas" couldnt we argue they are some sort of Egregore then?
@@Jeuka93 What is Eregore?
cant link the wikipedia for Egregore but like the highlight is "an esoteric concept representing a non-physical entity or thoughtform that arises from the collective thoughts and emotions of a distinct group of individuals."
Good to hear that voice again
Lol yo... That last line about never returning has made me genuinely afraid of going to comoragh
Thank u so much for this video. The space elves (drukhari too) are my favorite from wh40k **cries**
The Dark Eldar are without question the most fascinating bad guys in all of fiction IMHO
Please let them keep coming! they are epic!
Thank you, way more to come!
Love your voice and rythm, normaly i fall asleep with others narrators, but you keep it interesant. Brutal work!!!
Thank you!
Very well explained. Drukhari, are pridefull and lacking empathy while going constantly in and out of soul-withdraw symptoms while living in a ultra-competative city ruled by kabals wich leaves them utterly evil.
Is it bad that my take is “man I really want to see Commoragh”
Quote; Thank you all for watching" . thank you for making these videos!!
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it
Feels like you’ve made improvements to the voice, sounds a bit more natural and varied than before. ❤
Indeed I have, glad you noticed. They should slowly improve as I train it on future generations, but I'm glad that it's at the level that its at now. Thank you!
The fisher boats are interesting as they are one of the few aquatic crafts mentioned in 40k.
Good stuff. Many thanks
How about a documentary on the apex predators of the Imperium - the Carcaradons Astra/Space Sharks? Or the alpha of the apex predators - Tyberos the Red Wake?
Are they really the Apex or are those Minotaours?
Ooooh man I could go for a super specific chapter or species video like that
@relight6931 good question.

Still better than what the old reports say of an ancient Terran city called "Detroit"
Uh-bad-on? You gotta get this voice to say things correctly.
Whew lad I sure am glad that this is fictional and in no way (jõse) correlates to a potential future timeline for humanity [nervous chuckle]
Are there books about Comorragh?
There's a dark Eldar trilogy.
I think the durkari are lying about them being able to get you in the ghoul stars, I think they are just taking credit for the myriad ways of you dying there that probably always looks horrific, flayed one attack? Druks: Yeah that was definitely us
So, people just kind of live there? I always imagined it was just torturers and victims.
just in time for bed !
Australian spotted 😂
imagine Warframes being mercenaries in Commorragh
I just realized the Drukari are the Drow and Comorragh is the Underdark. Mind blown.
Watch dark city.
That's true actually, very similar!
Why no Attenborough
The channel received a Cease and Desist notice.
The worst possible place to be in all of fiction.
