A Lesson In Darkness

[@celticfox]

‘My sons, the galaxy is burning. We all bear witness to a final truth - our way is not the way of the Imperium. You have never stood in the Emperor’s light. Never worn the Imperial eagle. And you never will. You shall stand in midnight clad, Your claws forever red with the lifeblood of my father’s failed empire, Warring through the centuries as the talons of a murdered god. Rise, my sons, and take your wrath across the stars, In my name. In my memory. Rise, my Night Lords.’ - The Primarch Konrad Curze, at the final gathering of the VIII Legion

Jesus. I had no idea Konrad was THIS cold. Never thought of him THAT way until I heard this!

[@ADreadBellow]

How? The dudes back story is how he is pretty much Jack the Ripper crossed with Robin Hood.

@@ADreadBellow Don't forget Batman, armor resembling a bat while also enacting extreme justice on Nostramo.

[@ULTIMATZEKROM]

@@ADreadBellow Not sure what his story has in common with Robin Hood. Dude wanted to bring control to the planet of Nostromo through fear from the start, that kind of thing isn't what Robin Hood is known for.

Konrad truly can teach you about darkness..

Konrad only uses the darkness! Coral IS the Darkness!

[@isaacgoeth5158]

"The Emperor, did He know what "y-...what "we" would do here?" Nevalis almost said it was Konrad that did this and not he and his brothers.

[@Raffney]

Konrad hated his own legion. Before his arrival the night lords were the living embodiment of control over chaos. They always walked a fine line, even as loyalists. But after Konrads arrival this line was a distant memory, until it became totally forgotten. For Konrad there really is no difference in cruelty. Everything is just black and white. Either you use cruelty for your own gain or you do not but if you do you might as well use the most extreme methods.

@@Raffney *That is why I like the alternate-universe-versions of the Night Lords. It depicts them as they should have been - In midnight clad, but with only the blood of the guilty on their hands, not the innocent.*

[@randomcenturion7264]

@@isaacgoeth5158 Dornian Heresy Night Lords are AWESOME. They are the hated heroes. The Punisher in Power Armor. Are they cruel? Yes. But necessarily cruel and refuse to sink into madness by turning their craft into sadism. They are the ones the Imperium of Man sends to kill the Fucking boogeyman.

[@aceriverpirate9795]

The dornian heresy is my escape from what my favorite legion became.The Emperor's Children became perverse degenerates and the Night Lords became sadistic murderers whereas in the DH, they stayed the exemplars of the Imperium and the coldly calculated retribution of the Emperor. Ave Dominus Nox et Imperator.

[@ИльяЛунев-к6д]

@@isaacgoeth5158 i mean, they killed the enemies of Imperium, they have much lesser cassualties than other primarchs, because he killed 10 time less, but more gruesome. He started killing innocent a few year before Heresy, right at the start of Nostramo purge. He regreted killing the truly innocent

Are there any more videos like this? I would love to here more Audio Books about Curze’s adventures.

FUCK ME THIS IS INCREDIBLE

[@lalas3590]

When someone asks for an example of the Imperium being as bad Chaos, I send them this video. One lonely star system in the outskirts of the galaxy, not bothering anyone, yet they dared to refuse subservience to the Imperium and this was their punishment.

The Lords of Terra.

[@stevevargo]

It’s also in Endless War

[@Prophetofthe8thLegion]

“We failed them. We failed them by what we sent!” No…you did not fail them. They committed the greatest of crimes. Resisting the Emperor’s authority! They were criminals one and all. Men, women, children. And as his judgement we punished them!

I wish the longer audiobooks had background sound effects just like these shorter ones. The star wars audiobooks already got this down

[@ashe274]

Excellent glimpse at the way of the Night Lords. Not too big a fan of the Russian Curze accent, but it doesn’t really dampen the story. Wonderful upload.

[@adman1381]

I disagree, the accent sounds guttural and almost demonic.

[@lalas3590]

18:54 The way he says "He, sent me..." is exactly how I would imagine Curze sounding like.
