40K LORE: THE UMBRA: THE REMAINS OF THE LAST OLD ONE The Umbra are a race of xenos that are nearly inexplicable and with a dark and terrible past. Qah, the last old one, is mentioned in this video.

War in Heaven is one of my favorite 40k lore storylines. I think a Baldemort fan fiction of the Emperor throughout the ages would be awesome. So much you could do with that and so many eras. Maybe during the Dark Age of Technology but flashback throughout history.

I forgot to shave my sundial yesterday. Hence, the five o'clock shadow. There are some shadows around town. They've been throwing some serious shade at me. I was visiting a historic site with a battlefield and two forts. The park ranger told me to be careful as the sun goes down because the buildings cast a large shadow, and it is hard to see where you are walking. I said, ok I will beware the dark side of the forts."

Sometimes I can't help thinking that it's a shame that the Warhammer universe is tied to the tabletop game, and doesn't exist solely as a narrative. Some of the most fascinating concepts in the setting are doomed to (probably) never be explored as much as they could be since it would change the world too much and impact GW's sales. The C'tan and the Old Ones, Ynnead, and many more. So much potential, but very little actually happening.

@@baldermort Of course, I still very much enjoy Warhammer as it is now. And the beauty of having such an expansive setting with so much lore is that you can write things yourself! Fanfiction can feel really close to the official lore since there is so much stuff to reference. That's part of why I like your content so much too. Even though the stories you write aren't canon they have that special Warhammer feel to them.

I suspect the Eldar left the Old Ones to die at the hands of the C'tan, so they may take over the Galaxy and the Webway. The Eldar worked with the Necrons, that is like working with your nemesis to kill your boss, which is pretty much how the C'tan were eventually shattered. To Quote the legendary Stan Edgar in his role in The Boys - Bad Product. And wouldn't be the first time in the setting creation betraying it's creator - Necrons betraying the C'tan, The men of Iron betraying Humanity and the kin, Horus betraying the Emperor, White Scars turning on Jaghatai.
