    I think that a series telling the story of the magos seeking to uncover the truth about Be'lakor would make for a fantastic tale. I don't know what form it would take, but I can see how it goes now: the magos discovers the relics hinting at the daemon prince's identity, and sets out to uncover the mysteries of this 'alien warlord'. He gets further and further wrapped up in his research, never realising he's being played by Be'lakor the whole time, and getting into contact and conflict with numerous personalities on his journey. Eventually, at the climax, with all things said and done, he discovers the truth, but in the worst possible way imaginable, as the daemon decides to show him first hand...

    Going by my old theory that Be'lakor used the time bending powers of the warp to travel into the distant past sometime after his ascension, hence why he appears in so many ancient sources, maybe the reason he is obsessed with Abaddon is that he is in fact Abaddon's future self.

      @@velphidrow So did Horus at first, Be'lakor still thinks he has free will. Chaos makes you think you are independent even when your free will is gone. The only ones who seem at all capable of using Chaos for their own ends without being entirely enslaved are the Iron Warriors and the Alpha Legion, and they still are used as tools by Chaos, they're just aware Chaos is trying to use them and make an active effort to avoid being used (but it's only slightly working). Maybe the Alpha Legion does think it's still on the path to defeating Chaos by using Chaos without realizing they're just empowering it without ever really weakening it. I think the real reason the Imperium hasn't been crushed by Chaos is because Chaos knew it would be destroyed if they completely won; what better way to empower themselves then creating a state of constant war (Khorne), constant plotting and backstabbing (Tzeentch), entire planets dedicated to debauchery (Slaanesh) and the slow decay of an entire civilization with stagnation (Nurgle).

    I like the idea of Be'lakor being an alien daemon prince. I always wanted there to be more non-human Chaos worshippers and daemon princes, and non-human undead in WH fantasy. Because even if non-humans are far less likely to fall to Chaos, they've been around for much longer.
    Humans have traveled the stars for around 37,000 years but older races like Orks and Eldar have been space faring for tens of millions of years. You'd think Chaos would have snagged more aliens just because there's been much much more time for that to happen.

    • @robertnelson9599
      @robertnelson9599 4 года назад +11

      To be fair, there are examples of Chaos Orks, but they are all wiped out by Eldar, humans or other Orks. I think GW kept Chaos to mostly humans so Chaos armies couldn't combine elements from the other factions. I mean, imagine a Khorne army made of Kroot, Goff Orks, World Eaters and Bloodletters on the tabletop.

    I think it would be interesting if Be'lakor was perhaps a Xenos whose form (horns, wings, hooves) became the template from which other daemons and Daemon prince took their shape. As in he has kept much of his original form since he ascended. Additionally, though I have no evidence to base this on, of he was one pinnacle of the Old One's first attempts to create a warrior race to fight the War in Heaven, perhaps he slew the rest of his kin and carved out his own empire in the aftermath. Mostly I'd just like to see a warlord of his race leading an Aeldari Exodite warband

This time they could include some of the RPG elements they wanted to put in Quake originally (it wasn't even planned to be a shooter, but I don't think they should take that part out). Imagine how good a Quake 1 style art direction would look with IDTech 7 and they environmental artists who worked on DOOM: Eternal. In a lot of ways new Doom is closer to Quake than it is to old Doom (the gameplay is a lot closer to Quake, and some of the areas in DOOM: Eternal look more inspired by Quake then old Doom).
      Also who owns the rights for Marathon? I don't know of anything new being done with the IP so it might be in limbo (like how Wolfenstein existed before ID and ID just kinda took it since it was available) but if it's not in limbo does Bungie still own it?

    I always thought of Malal or Malice as the "pre-chaos" chaos god. Due to the very contrarian nature of the warp, I like to image that old man Malal was all alone in the warp until slaanesh tore a hole in it, allowing real space to distort his perfect "chaotically neutral" space where everything was in perfectly juxtaposed contradiction.
    If we accept this logic as possible, then Be'lakor could easily be his avatar. Instead of being the first prince of chaos undivided he could be their very first adversary and greatest threat. A sort of daemon prince of the warp undivided, which the 4 gods where only just beginning to harness after their births.
    Thus the reason they rushed to create their own demon princes was to weaken his influence over their power. Like how their use of the warp space real estate and habitation of the eye and maelstrom (quasi-real-space) would weaken Malal and his kingdom (i.e. the true neutral warp separated from real space).
    That is just my head cannon, but I would like if this was the direction they took Belakor. He would make a great anti-chaos-god, instead of a salty scorned prince.

    I hate to be nit-picky, but I think the Draigo quote is more likely referring to The World-That-Was than the Mortal Realms. Not only does the short story precede the End Times event (published at the end of 2013 while the first End Times book was published in 2014), but, more tellingly, the quote refers to 'magic blowing in the wind.' In the Mortal Realms, magic is an intrinsic part of EVERYTHING, while in the World-That-Was it took the form of transient energy that drifted through the world, energy that was most commonly referred to as the 'Winds of Magic.'

    I keep finding it interesting that many Chaos Gods and/or their servants show similarities to the Slann-Mages aka Old Ones in 40k.. Such as the Khornes belly-mouth or Nurgles forms.
    Wouldn't a death of a highly psychic being have a response in the warp? And Could not the Chaos Gods be a direct reaction to Old Ones dying, presumably as they made their last gambit via humanity? Not necessarily to aid Humanity but to gain power from them, to fight the Necron and just keep existing, even if twisted and Chaotic form..

After a proper person from the universe is set up as a champion of chaos, he goes off to another one.

    My theory is that he's the time-displaced daemon prince form of Abaddon. This may seem a bit far fetched, but hear me out:
    *Both have the favor of all four of the chaos gods, essentially being their ultimate champion, in addition to Be'lakor being said to have been a powerful warlord before ascending, something which Abaddon most certainly is. I get that this is a pretty weak reason, but it's still worth mentioning
    *They have very similar attitudes to the Chaos Gods, using their jealousy over them to gain favors from them, and believing themselves to be independent from their control
    *It's stated that Be'lakor founded numerous galactic empires, many of them worshipping him as a godlike figure. Given that Abaddon essentially wants to take over the Imperium to become the New God Emperor, this definitely seems like something he would do.
    *As many people know, the Warp is a confusing place where a lot of weird stuff can happen, including travelling backwards or fowards In time.
    *He wields a big sword, and frequently uses his claws. This ones mostly for fun.
    As for what happened to Drachn'yen and his other OP equipment, I have no goddamn clue.

By extension this means that Be'lakor can easily have come into existence prior to Slaanesh's birth.

    Here's my pointles fanfic:
    Be'lakor is an Old One who created Chaos as a weapon to fight the Necrontyr in the War in Heaven. It pooled all negative emotion in multiple dimensions into a force that he could wield to fight multiple C'tans at once, remake destroyed worlds, turn back time, or summon entire armies. Chaos grew in power and intelligence exponentially. Eventually the puppet strings he used to control it became chains that restricted his mind.
