[@RevokFarthis]

The Emperor's Map. Imagine traveling to Chernobyl, and in an abandoned room in a forgotten dilapadated house; finding a box containing pictures, floorplans, etc, of your parents house as it looked when you were a child.

[@evanlight2550]

More than just that, but a perfect image of how your room looked, how your toys were set up, your clothes, pictures, even your parents room and attic space. Everything. Even details you never knew were there.

[@luisdoyer3260]

The Emperor’s map fascinates me the most, I think it was an artifact from the golden age. I think the planet was abandoned by its settlers and left that map behind, there’s a reason the emperor didn’t show himself during the golden age or age of strife. Perhaps there’s more relics or artifacts from the golden age still floating out there somewhere.

[@NattyIce553]

Can you explain this? Can’t find anything that sounds like what u guys are talking about?

[@evanlight2550]

@@NattyIce553 it’s meant to be an analogy where a place that shouldn’t even know of your existence or home has not only a mapped out layout of your old home from when you were young but every detail is jotted down, from the wall paper to the toys and games. It’s scary because, for all intents and purposes, this place shouldn’t know or even have something like this…

Garviel Loken's interactions with Mercedes are something I want more of. It's always interesting to see normal humans interact with Astartes both on and off the battlefield

[@Primal2229]

Agreed, personally my favorite one of Lokens interactions with Karkasy. Even normal humans found him to be an arrogant pain in the ass at times, but Loken not only tolerated but tried to protect him while enabling what could have been seen as sedition. The bloody poet convinced the loyalty and duty first astartes to do the morally right thing. Hell, it was the human presence which made Loken such a good character for those books.

That map is definitely terrifying. It plays off the idea that aliens assisted humanity in building and influencing our world so nicely, and the possibility of them keeping an extremely up to date record of Earth from thousands of years ago is scary.

Well I mean every thought and feeling manifests in the warp. Every thought, every fantasy every, every guilty or irrational thought, every good or bad dream. Becomes real in the immaterial, but they don’t really take shape because it’s nearly an atom in the scale of the warp. So yeah it’s not a big stretch that an idea so powerful would manifest especially after the link between reality and the warp is so thin and damaged that something like that can happen, especially when humanity has grown to such a scale an urban legend that could’ve spread over a million worlds is sure to have a the power to actually become something in the warp and potentially bleed into real space.

I really enjoyed The Emperor's map because it's almost as if the Emperor feels guilt by seeing the map of old Earth and realized he isn't as all knowing as he believed himself to be. He once lived in that same place and due to his actions, plunged the planet and galaxy into war.

[@thelouster5815]

Earth became a barren hellscape before the Emperor rose to prominence.

My personal head canon is that this planet IS Earth! Terra and our Earth are in drasticly diffenet spots in this galaxy. And changing a planet in the center of the galaxy to look like the cradle of your race, sounds like something you do when you have STCs and the whole shabang.

[@Ornzora]

I have theory : The red room is actually Khorne's bathroom, everyone who go inside witness sheer horror of naked Khorne showering in the blood of many, and if it's true it would explain why Khorne need so many blood everyday, because he need it to take a bath

I'd argue one of the scariest mysteries in 40k is the Dark Cells of Terra. Put it like this; The Shadowkeeper Custodian Shield Host guard it with their lives. Not to keep people out,that's a secondary purpose but their main purpose is to keep the things in there locked away. Imagine all the artefacts and entities locked in the cells,where their escape could have devastating effects on the galaxy and well...some did after The Great Rift opened

​@@NomadUrpagi I mean sort of but also no. It's clearly inspired by it but there are also a lot of differences. The people in shadow over innsmouth started associating with fish people when their town fell on hard times, and effectively made a deal with them. They were breeding with fish people, and their offspring were slowly becoming more fish like, and became increasingly hostile to outsiders. Here it's mostly psychological changes, and I doubt they have the ability to swim that deep, or breathe under water. It's also unknown if the sleeping gods they worship are evil or hostile in this case. I also don't think they made a deal with evil fish people, since in this case they are getting the memories of a lost civilization.

My money on who brought the map over was likely a Perpetual, one of the only other immortals other than the Emperor who could remember when Terra was a more beautiful world. Maybe thats why the Emperor was in awe. He had found evidence of one of his comrades who had long forsaken him and his dream, and that perhaps somewhere they were still out there

the map would be my fav out of them. reading the book and hearing this stoic marine. this leader of super humans tell the tale of finding something so odd and bizzare. that it did stick with him and send fear and shivers throughout if he could feel it. a stand out momment in a great book

[@AzulGatos41]

I feel like The Emperor's map is probably made by ancient humans, probably before the golden age of technology. So that's why it has ancient earth.

Ahh hearing stories about mersadie olinton just makes me sad. I hated reading about when loken finally was allowed to see her in that prison and they had ripped her memory coils out. It was heartbreaking. It really tugged at me when loken wanted to get her out of there so badly but she just told him no. That whole portion of the story is so sad

[@weshammer]

Yeah, I agree, I loved all of the remembrance or characters in those first three books. They were so well written. f you haven't read the siege of Tera yet, she plays a pretty pivotal role in... I think either book one or book two. Wasn't super happy with the ending personally, but it was great seeing her again

[@whitlocktherevanchist5236]

@WesHammer I have heard she was in it. I was trying to get in the rest of the horus heresy in full order before siege of Terra but it is absolutely killing me not to read those books. Ya know, I think people sometimes forgot about mersadie olinton because euphrati keeler and kyril sinderman were so important, especially for guys like garro and sigismond. But for loken it always felt more like it was about mersadie and kyril. I was always super bummed that Ignace karkasy died because in those first few books, he was incredible. He was my favorite of the remembrancers on that ship. I think it was a great choice to make the remembrencers such an important group of people

I love how sometimes, something as small as a paragraph in a book, briefly mentioning some event, can leave a reader's mind bewildered as the written word paints an incomplete painting for them to fill out themselves. That is why I consider writing an art from. Something as simple as finding a map of an ancient time long passed on an alien world leaves so many horrifying questions. These kinds of things are why I love series like Warhammer 40k and why I wanted so desperate to write my own series... which is turning out to be both much harder than I thought and way more fun that I expected it to be. Wes, thank you sir for making videos like this. Your lore videos are one of my favorite things to watch.

[@Irritum123]

This is awesome. Would love more content though from the normal person's perspective, that would show horror they feel in face of everything or joy and awe they feel seeing space marines

[@Koinezar]

Thak you for this video! I'm planning to run some Dark Heresy for our playgroup and it inspired me to strat writing basically SCP-like scenario.

[@garrettsmith4034]

As a newer fan of Warhammer, I love your videos. Keep the lore coming please. It's terrifying that the red room you step into could've been the crime scene of anyone that went through the door before you. It'd explain why the door can appear anywhere. Reminds me of the backrooms if the liminal rooms are replaced with liminal crime scenes.

There’s so much potential for this universe it’s unreal

[@surtaandume_psykermystyk4010]

*The EMPEROR'S* Map has got to be the one that intrigues me the most. That it left The Master of Mankind⁽ᵇᵉˡᵒᵛᵉᵈ ᵇʸ ᵃˡˡ⁾, Himself, speechless.... that has awesome and ominous inferences, no doubt.

[@Toneill029]

As terrifying as the idea as the Emperor’s map is…I can’t help but also feel that the emperor was kind of happy about it too. To see earth in its prime again. But yeah whatever made that map, I hope they had no ill intent.

[@fallsprig4581]

the emperor longs for those long nights of pre-christian pagan rituals

[@ryanadams0922]

LOVE your 40k Mysteries ep its so alluring. But I also do enjoy your other eps as well. I just dont know anyone that talks about the mysteries of 40k as much as you do. Edit. I have to say each story was fascinating but I feel like the one that made me Re-listen was The emperor's map. Just like Loken something is not right and to see a map of the earth once was made chill even me. and Rain and murder room

[@The0Stroy]

Someone walks into Murder Room Khorne: What are you doing in my living room?!

[@walterlaten7662]

Loved the video wish u had more watched them all love 40k lore so much even tough never played the tabletop only played martyr and love that game

[@sharnfraser7446]

Im brand new to the 40k franchise, and this kind of thing is incredible to listen to

[@negadoge]

For anyone wondering where Wes's videos fit in their chronological ordering... Look at the face hes making on the thumbnail. The face tells you where they fit into the subseries... I was looking for 40k horrifying mysteries part 1 for almost an hour before I realized this. One of the many reasons that WesHammer is one of the best Warhammer 40k lore and discussion channels on all of KZbin.

[@kiankier7330]

keep going with those mysteries videos. I need more mysteries lore

[@WHISKEYSHIZZLE]

Nice job wes. You’re giving luetin a run for his money now lol.

[@derkrischa3720]

Ah yes, the Murder Room. Or, as the Night Lords call ist: The kitchen

[@probablythedm1669]

Just wanted to say I love this series! Never have I heard of more unkown lore to me! It's great! 🙂

[@tictactic7909]

The map one is wild. There’s so many possible ideas of where it could have came from. Totally seems like something Tzeentch would do to screw with The Emperor directly, yet doesn’t really give off Tzeentchian vibes. Which is an even more unsettling thought.

[@Didymus20X6]

A Red Room? Let me guess: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

[@ElderRudra]

I must say, this series of mysteries and obscure lore is my favorite. How massive is the universe

[@thedawapenjor]

It's more than chilling. It's Bing Chilling.

[@chaselyttle90]

You get better and better with every video my man! You are doing an amazing job Wes!

[@deathdynasty1628]

Warhammer: finally, a nice day CHAOS: AND I TOOK THAT F-CKING PERSONAL

[@Frank-mg4tg]

Love this series man btw what do you think about the Lion coming back to the current setting

[@Senzueffect]

Bit of a silly thought. The red room reminded me of Futurama's twilight zone parody. The Scary door.

[@loganlautenschlager6885]

I do love this series. It keeps me coming back for more
