Bricky Explains the Warhammer 40.000 Timeline & Lore | The Chill Zone Reacts

i think the Orks are probably the happiest faction in the entire Galaxy,Death doesn't bother them that much, WAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!

[@seeingseeer5282]

The Eldar's fall is more complicated than the Eldar having everything and becoming bored with vanilla, it's started because their gods no longer respond to them. There was the fiasco with Khaine wanting to kill all the Eldars because of a prophecy that he'll be killed by them and it drove the war god to mauling Vaul and killing two Eldar heroes which prompted Asuryan to block off the gods from the very people who worshipped them. The Eldar also doesn't simply worship their gods, they are so intrinsically connected with their gods that, with how tied the Eldar is to the Warp, they are basically focal points of emotional and spiritual stability. So basically, the Eldar became sadistic sensation-seeking slatterns because they have literal gods-shaped holes in their souls and they sought to fill it with sensations but said holes couls never be filled... And metaphorically, said holes were tunnels that went down all the way to Slaanesh and the more they fed it to try and fill it, the more Slaanesh arose.

29:25 Another interesting tidbit about the techpriests' red outfits: The concept of the Cult Mechanicus was probably based on the technology priesthood in the Foundation Trilogy, and those priests also wore red robes. From a Doylist perspective, that's probably the source of the techpriests' color scheme.

[@LordRaine]

Bricky also glossed over that the Old Ones didn't completely die out, and also got hoist by their own petard in the end, which I feel is an important part of understanding the beginning lore. The Old Ones made the Orks to be the opposite of the Eldar. The Eldar are graceful, psychically powerful creatures. The Orks were literally designed to be functionally immune to the Warp, by having their own sort of closed collective consciousness, which the Orks call the WAAGH. This was great in theory, but it also meant that, when the Old Ones lost control of the Orks, the Orks ended up killing a LOT of the Old Ones, who were primarily a psychic race themselves. Now the Orks are just a loose bioweapon running around breaking things.

Justice for my boy Malal/Malice. Death to the Dark Gods. Let the galaxy burn. Also Malal's disappearence had less to do with popularity and more to do with copyright. (He was introduced in the comics, which GW lost the rights to at some point during all their copyright disputes.) He did get indirectly referred to by way of the "Ravenous Dissolution" special rule in the Burning of Ohmn-Mat supplement from some months ago tho.

[@DocMadfox]

So The Emperor's appearance isn't really his appearance. Similar to Magnus he can make himself look like whatever he wants via psyker bullshit. It's said the Sisters of Silence saw him as he really was - an unimpressive tan skinned man from the stone age.

Never read a single book or story in 40k but I love finding out about this stuff, it's too cool to ignore (I'm just avoiding cuz I know my wallet wouldn't handle it well) By the way, since we have the spooky season I totally recommend How it Feels to Suffer in SFM from LazyPurple, it's a god damned masterpiece! o7

@8:19 Malal wasn't redacted due to lack of popularity, he was redacted due to copyright issues. Basically, the guy who was contracted out to make a Warhammer Fantasy comic book that introduced him maintained the rights to the character. He kind of lives on in 40k as an entity called Malice.

[@kevinprzy4539]

Lmao your reference to the Afro Centrist "We Wuz Kangz" is absolutely golden.

[@thomaschitham3487]

Couple other details to know: Humanity's primate ancestors were also made by the Old Ones, the War in Heaven ended when a Warp race known as the Enslavers showed up and either killed or chased off most of the Old Ones and their races, and the Emperor was born by a bunch of ancient human shamans seeing the threat of Chaos and ritualistically sacrificing themselves to make the Emperor to fight them. Have fun!

[@Harril8265]

The Emperor doesn't have a canon origin as of now. That's just one theory.

As far as I remember the Chaos gods didn't exist, or rather fully form, until the Middle Ages (hence black death, wars everywhere, intrigue abound), and they didn't even start to form until after the War in Heaven. The worst you would probably experience in the Warp back then would be equivalent to shark. It will probably leave you alone unless you poke it, or if it senses blood in the water, so to speak.

Just to fix one of Brickys mistakes the Men of Iron revolution happened before the birth of Slaanesh as the humans won that war before the empire truley fell. It also just wouldnt make sense how an undivided humanity would win that type of war

[@berilsevvalbekret772]

True but DAOT wasn't exactly united right? And Men of Iron's rebellion was more aganist men of stone?? Golden men?? Whatever the fuck that means. Humans fought hard but some men of iron also stayed loyal I think? And it wasn't to do with chaos though chaos did some stuff too just too minor to count.

[@jeambeam3173]

​@@berilsevvalbekret772chaos being involved is pure speculation and pretty sure humanity was united as specific separate Empires aren't mentioned just humanity.

"there is only war" and we wont have it any other way on another note, correct me if im wrong that one of the reasons that the emperor is able to keep the demons away for so long is because all of the people that believe him to be a god? so boosting him with power

[@jetpilledmyron2056]

Since his... enthronement (idk if that's a word *but now it is* ), his Soul has been empowered by each and every person believing in him, and Failbaddon unleashing the Cicatrix made his psychic potency staggerly blinding. So yeah, Emps got more powerful than ever by becoming a corpse

@@jetpilledmyron2056love the irony, what he sought to destroy imade him stronger Also why does he still need sacrifices? Wouldn't the trillions of people would suffice to keep him alive

[@jetpilledmyron2056]

@@Moonwalker130 the part about the sacrifices is the reason he, as a Perpetual (aka a special being who keep regenerating and resurect after death, think about Jesus-like), hasn't yet rised from his throne. However, this is a needed sacrifice as behind the Golden Throne lies the still qctive, despite closed, sole gate into the Imperial Webway, a project that failed miserably thanks to his son Magnus. So the dilemma is this: either he leave his vestige back to keep the Webway gate sealed and the Astronomican (the thing required for humans to navigate through the warp) functioning, making the 1000 souls needed to power up this, or he let Terra get swarmed and ripped apart like a third Eye of Terror to resurect. However, in Godblight, it has been demonstrated he is awakening, so essentially either he aknowledged what he missed, and now is plotting to find a solution to fix evwrything before rising up, or aim at elevate himself to God and block the 4 Dark Ones in person.

[@jetpilledmyron2056]
