They also never revealed what happened in the Emperor's presence and made a deal to help the Inquisition, so their loyalty and faith is beyond reproach.

And as the purveyor of such deception, murder, excess, and destruction, he was probably being watched pretty carefully by a few entities wandering around in there. I personally like to imagine that the Emperor just chucked Goge's soul straight at the Chaos Gods, and they tore him into pieces for the privilege of torturing the author of an imperium that would feed them for millennia to come, as their twisted version of gratitude...and because they find it funny. And now's there's withered shards of his tiny soul in each of their care, subject eternally to their attentions.

I vaguely remember a few things from the 1st/2nd edition era of the Sisters that was discussing the founding. If I recall right, it was heavily implied that Alicia was burdened with a "terrible truth" of the universe and was tasked by the Emperor to safeguard mankind from this threat. I think it was the Daemon book from the same period that hinted the terrible truth might of been knowledge of how the warp functions and how human belief can be used and weaponized within the warp, as it mentioned roughly on the same time period the appearance of beings of light in the warp, what we suspect later are the Saints. I think was also hinted at that Alicia was slain by an Assassin hired by the High Lords, scared of her perceived power and influence as the bolt was described as leaving an unusual wound that would not be healed and it had penetrated power armor. I believe it was also implied that the Assassins had sabotaged Goge's Rosarius in hopes that when someone went for him it would lead to his death.

There's actually a bit of a meme in religious circles that Lutherism is Christianity Lite. No requirement of rituals, no strict dogma, only the idea that you accept that God/Jesus sacrificed for our sins and thus we should follow his example and give of ourselves for others, everyone can have their own interpretation on how that is to be accomplished, and as long as you are not harming others, recognize that no one is perfect and everyone will fuck up and sin eventually, and believe in God and sincerely ask for forgiveness when you do, your good to go...I'd pretty much still call myself a Lutheran if not for the "Believe in God" part...(I just shift the asking God for forgiveness to asking those I've wronged for forgiveness while trying to make amends, and move the sacrifice of Jesus to the sacrifice of all the people in my life and throughout history that helped others though it provided no benefit to them that allowed me to exist as I do today) Honestly, they're some of the nicest people I've ever met...unfailingly helpful, we'd always have a couple volunteers to babysit the young kids during services and help the elderly who couldn't get around very well, then we'd all go back to what they called the fellowship hall to have coffee and snacks and chit chat for a while and help organize food/clothing drives, other volunteer work, ect.

small correction with Frateris Templar forces near the end of the reign of blood, most of their forces and Goge Vandire's fleets were destroyed in and attempt to kill Sebastian Thor as the fleets were consumed by a massive warp storm that would be called the 'warp storm of the emperor's wrath' as it was believed later by the empire that big E farted out a warp stop to protect Sebastian Thor's growing movment. some could of surpved on earth but they would have being very few in number. the main force protecting Goge were the sisters

[@kentaylor5147]

I just realized that goge vandire is the warhammer’s emperor palpatine

[@johnstockley6976]

Goge is one of three people I could see big E have hand delivered as a gift to the Archons of Commoragh.

the lore of when girlyman was put into a comma is kind of weird as its being implied that he both was one of the last ones left and one of the first to go. as its mentioned in i think dark imperium as he recalls going being stabbed by falgrim that he was worryed about what his brothers would do with out him, implying that some of them were still around. i know Jaghatai Khan (honour be his name) was one of if not the first to leave chasing dark elder into the web way only about 70 years after the heresy the only other one to 'disappear' before him was the lion i think corax was next disappeared into the warp to fuck up logar's shit again rogal its hard to say its send that he disappeared during one of the first if not the first black crusades i think russ might have being the last one to go vulkan appeared briefly during the war of the beast and he implyes that he was hanging around or had seen rogal recently

Yo! Just found your channel and i'm having a blast! I've always liked warhammer but never been attracted to their gameplay, so having story tellers like you is just an amazing compromise!! I've only started but i can't wait for your next videos, thank you guys!!

[@astronomybrainiac]

Honestly, Goge's reign should have been titled "The Age of Heresy" since heresy is when you introduce non-official teachings/beliefs into a religion, which is what Goge did. And the Horus Heresy should actually be the Horus Apostasy, since he abandoned his father's light and teachings to follow a new faith, which is what apostasy means. But I guess there's not the alliterative appeal with those names.

[@Razyeldev]

Father: his name will be Manslaughter! Wife: you sure ? i mean won't he be evil Father: no.. i'm sure it's be fine :P

[@jb03hf]

The "apostate" was Godge Vandire who turned his back on the Emperor's own appointed High Lords to attempt to run the Imperium himself.

[@vulkan4108]

The Emperor is pleased today

[@ncrtrooper7246]

Fun fact: it wasn't the captain general of the Custodes (who was Excelsor, not Valdor nor Valoris) who led Alicia Dominica to the Emperor, it was Longinus, a Centurion

[@sorufa888]

8:44 Bjorn from the Space Wolves outright said that to an inquisitor

[@Aredel]

Even the likes of the Heretic Astartes would kneel before Bjorn in respect before the battle ensues.

[@ВасилийМорозов-л7х]

Goge Vandire is one of the best human villains (if something like this can be said regarding the morally grey 40k universe) of 40k. Usually when you hear about Imperial government officials doing more bad things than usually, you think of Chaos corruption or Xenos influence. But no, Vandire did all that he did simply because he was a wicked man.

I just realized that if the Emperor actually did have a Text To Speech device, and used the Custodians as his heralds and massagers, all this insanely could have (very easily) been avoided.

[@Qardo]

"I do not have time to die. I am busy." I want that on a T-Shirt Even if it came from the bastard Goge Vandire.

[@Hadar-the-dark-Hunger]

[@berniebroig8745]

I feel like the ecchlisiarcal throne room scene would need to be an establishing long shot to give scale to the size of the building, and Alicia Dominica would need to say her speech as she climbed an ungodly amount of stairs. The climax would be her reaching the top with Goge speaking his last. Her fury would mount until she would draw her power sword, revving it in an instant, slowing down right at the point where Vandire's Rosarius' field failed. Her sword would pass through the field and tear through his neck. Not sure how the scene would go after, but it would be cool.

[@joaovitorreisdasilva9573]

It's small and silly detail, but I find really fucking cool that everyone that enters the Throneroom leaves with such a shift of perspective. It also happened to "Rawbutt Girlyman".

[@TheClargest]

Honestly Van Dyre is probably more based on Robspierre of the French Revolution. He became one of the heads of the new government and was in charge of routing out opposition. He was the guy in charge of the Guillotine. He also was one of the founders of the Revolutions new "church of reason". He was the direct cause of the "Time of Terror" in France, where he proceeded to just execute anyone who looked at him wrong. Towards the end he went absolutely crazy, putting himself up as a sort of psuedo-god for their religion and trying to take total control, before he was executed on the same Guillotine he had used to kill the monarchy.

OFFICALLY in our current timeframe we do not have a word for the turn of the 5th digit (from M29 to M30) which is why we use the M moniker. Decamillennium would be the word I would want to use, but it isn't officially recognized and you don't get named timeframe until you hit "Age" at M1000.
