40K DARK ORIGINS [2] War in Heaven & Aeldari Mythology | WARHAMMER 40,000 history/lore

[@Luetin09]

Welcome back all to part 2 of my exploration around the Origins of Chaos & the Warp. (timestamps below) In part 2 of 3 we look into the initial stages of the War in Heaven and the Eldar War in Heaven. We are also exploring Eldar Mythology, and what it means to be Eldar. Much of the details in this and the first video will be fleshed out further in the final video. We will also conclude the War in Heaven in part 3 as it leads us into the time of Eldar Dominion and The Fall. I still apologise for my voice - I am working to heal and recover my vocal cords currently. I hope you enjoy!

Are you going to make a series about the primarchs ? An in depth look at each primarch's individual story, unique attributes, their chapter/legion and the chapter/legion's history, formation and unique attributes. Story behind aesthetics of each regarding their armour, name etc. Maybe even an episode on the sororitas ? Keep up the good work btw man.

@Ben Siener Perfection easily falls under excess and pleasure. One of the names given to Slaanesh is "The Perfect Prince".

Also the Necrontyr were manipulated by the selfish Star Gods, and without that manipulation, the War in Heaven may have been something entirely different. If the Old Ones truly did not care for any other beings besides the Eldar, then maybe they should have, it could have prevented much suffering.

I've never dug all that much into the Aeldari (god, even just typing that out feels weird, thanks GW for the copyright BS), mostly because I'm not a fan of elves, even space elves. This was a fantastic watch though, totally worth the slight headache that came with it. The part that dealt with the nature of their gods though, I do have a theory. Most legends have some basis in fact in the real world, so there's a base for them to be actual beings. My theory is that because of the time and crises that the Aeldari have faced eroded their myths, that Their gods were Old Ones but they manifested versions of them in the warp as their actual gods. As to how they are now, those gods that survived actually diffused themselves into the Aeldari so that the Aeldari have a tiny fraction of their gods in them as a desperate bid to both have the gods and the Aeldari survive The Fall.

They will continue to look down on the other races but I don’t know that they would be so keen to conquer them. The Dark Eldar will always be a threat, of course, but they will always be limited in their reach by the need to constantly watch essentially every other member of their race. For them Slanesh was just one existential threat, and not even the most immediate one. Freed from their fear of She Who Thirsts, the Eldar might be less keen to countenance the existence of such a depraved society, particularly if they are able to regain their ability to reincarnate. The Galaxy is awash with existential threats to humanity. The Orcs are forever bothersome but have not been a true threat to the Imperiam since the Great Beast. The Tau are a rising power but are not interested in enslaving or destroying Mankind. But Chaos, the Tyranids and the Necrons all threaten mankind with extinction. Mankind is not prepared. Each victory comes at terrible cost and none of these threats has even reached its full potential yet. Mankind will need allies if it is to survive, as utterly repugnant as that may seem to them. Even with reincarnation restored, the Eldar are weakened will probably need allies as well, though that concept is equally repugnant to them.

[@chrisw7047]

Remembering their old ways, the idea of alliances is very real for the Eldar. The point of their existence is literally being an ally to the Old Ones. They were (or still are?) in an Alliance with the Old Ones. Although debatable, the Eldar (or the Old Ones themselves) may have had a hand in creating and advancing the Tau Civilization, and may be setting the Tau up to be their ally in the future.

[@Demothones]

There is a theory that I have heard, sorry I cannot remember where, that the Tyranids are a creation of the Old Ones for the purpose of eliminating warp sensitive life in the galaxy. The idea is that if the warp sensitive life forms are removed it would starve the Warp, or at least the entities within it of sustenance. If the Old Ones were involved with the Tau, it might explained they have such a small Warp signature. They do not feed the Warp and they would not attract the attention of the Tyranids the way that the races with greater Warp signatures do. Of course, I am not as well versed in the lore as a lot of people here and everything I have just said may be nonsense but it makes sense to me.

[@ThomasAherne]

Well, that escalated quickly! I actually listen to Part 1 & Part 2 twice now because of the amount of information and it's brilliant. the Atmospherics of the soundtrack are perfect. Bravo sir.

[@SlightlyOddGuy]

Luetin, I hear the Interstellar-esque music and I want you to know that, yes, it was exactly the right choice.

[@jakeg3733]

I love the picture of the black hole from Interstellar at 40:00 accompanied by very interstellar-esque organ music. It's pretty much the music from the crash scene, but with 40k style organ

[@jamesobsidian6924]

A thought to consider Luetin09. I was reading A Thousand Sons by Graham McNeill in the Horus Heresy Novels. There was one point of interest where the Primarch Magnus made his way to Terra across the Warp. Upon Reaching Terra he found a doorway but could not get it. Then a huge titanic power aided him. This unnamed power was eternal and most importantly BENEVOLENT. Magnus notes how the Warp is a place on contradictions and that there are powers in the warp that are malicious as well as beneficial, if one knows how to differentiate. This is coming from that book on Page 439. With what you have said in your video it suggest that good gods can come from the warp. That same section I mentioned also states that dreams are connected to the warp, at least for humans. This in turn suggests that the Eldar could indeed have "dreamed" their gods into existance, from the warp, and that these warp gods were beneficial, for the most part. What do you think?

[@bocktordaytona5656]

Gw should hire you, for something like lore podcasts this is truly awesome, and its incredible the amount of hours you put in this, but its not awesome, actually its outstanding the love you put on this kind of videos, this is the truly definition of having a hobby that actually you love. Thanks for share your love of 40k with us.

Where there is uncertainty, I shall bring light Where there is doubt, I shall sow faith Where there is shame, I shall point atonement Where there is rage, I shall show its course My word in the soul shall be as my bolter in the field. Through the destruction of our enemies do we earn our salvation! While the enemies of the Emperor still draw breath, there can be no peace. Come you aliens, show me what passes for fury amongst your misbegotten kind! The galaxy is the Emperor's, and anyone or anything who challenges that claim is an enemy who must be destroyed.

Yo, Leutin, I love your content, brother. I got into Warhammer 40k around 2010 when my friend introduced me to Dawn of War 2 and it was all very confusing. The game was cool, story was cool, but that was that. Around 2018 I found your content randomly on YT; your stuff really, really helped introduce me to the world/universe/cannon (I know, that last word is problematic) and recently, during quarantine, it's had a big reemergence in my feed and I've been eating up all your videos. This time it's not some random topic I'll watch for a few weeks and fall out of interest, now that I am really grasping the history within the universe and the history of W40k's creation I am hooked. Looking into the books, different games online, all your vids, etc. And I know you're not actively shitting on other WH40K content creators, or encouraging it, I just don't fw the other guys. I've tried watching/listening to others' stuff and either their presentation is bad, their voice is grating, or something. You're S-tier WH40K content, man - from the tempo of the vids, your opinions and how you express them, your voice and accent (yankee here), I'm digging all of it. Keep it up, bro. I'll support you with likes and views. Cheers.

[@Rafferty1968]

"Silly Mon'kee. The Eldar Gods are real. Their stories tell of the beginning of the Eldar. They still stride amongst us. Khaine and Ynnead, fight with us. Cegorach hides in the wings and writes his own tale. Isha exists, forever tortured in the garden of Nurgle. When she who cannot be named finally falls, they shall all return." In truth, the legend of the gods is that of higher beings, leaders the first Eldar, created by the Old Ones as Gods.

[@gaza698]

incredible video once again, no one captures the 40k universe like you do, the music in your videos is bang on, more videos please! haha

[@darkshadow54]

Just finished the video (it's 3;34am) I've been interested in this part of the warhammer lord for a long time..thank you for a fleshed out, thought out, well written video. It was spectacular man... the narrative, the writing, the choices of music. All of it was very impressive. Made me feel sorry for the elder. Poor guys...from pillar to post. Looking foward to the next one in the series man 👊👊👊

[@nunyabizniz968]

I’d have to say from everything I’ve learned from your videos so far the most important race the old ones had created is more than likely the orks rather than the eldar so far out of every race to exist in warhammer 40k orks seem to be the only incorruptible force I wouldn’t doubt if someday it was the orks who save the universe from all threatening forces Godspeed to all the oddboyz mekboys and nobs lol

Greetings from Germany! Thx for the good work and teaching me the lore and how to know which sources you can trust and how to detect bs! After so much content from you and other top warhammer 40k youtubers I got a good idea what is or can be canon and what not! Again thx for that and keep up the good work! And I have to admit you content is very good for bedtime! I love to listen to your voice in bed because it calmes me down and realaxes me! Stay safe in lockdown times!

[@lukasrattacher1858]

Dear Luetin First of all, I love your content. It is highly entertaining and lifts the whole discussion to a new level. It is sometimes more like a philosophical debate than pure lore telling content. But I think one thing gets out of sight here. Besides the fact that probably warp and all is a mirror of humanity and we are fighting ourselfs, standing to the emporer is rather a quoiston of objective arguments then a question of standing to humanity itself. I believe that the imperium has made its mistakes. Like any empire ever before the empirium is a faceless construct held together by an idea. The idea is that humanity needs a home. Someone who stands up for them. And the expression of that idea is the emporer himself. Representented by every imperial soldier, astartes or civilian. Even if humanity fights against itself and the emporer has his flaws and that humanity didn‘t managed to become that secular society it might have could become, humnity does - unless the eldar - fight back. For the emporer!
