Just noticed that the start of the video didn't include the little "greetings citizens" line, how shameful 😶‍🌫

[@notskylar4813]

The God-Emperor's disappointment is immeasurable. Keep up the fantastic lore work!

[@robertbito1367]

It’s alright bro

[@robinmiller1989]

I mentally inserted it. No worries🎉 7:10

[@justinhoward66]

The God-Emperors mercy shines on you. Be free from your guilt.

[@TheCheeseslice9]

Are these acts of sedition scholar?

[@pschaefer143]

Just a reminder that Mortarian is just as disgusted with Nurgles rot and decay as anyone else would be. Dude really played himself

[@Scholarslore]

Yeah he really dun goofed, poor guy could have had a nicer ending but unfortunately now he's known as the stinky primarch with a Grey Knights name carved into his heart.

[@TheGreatAuk]

even though he willingly turned to chaos, his origin always made me feel sympathy for him

[@Scholarslore]

I do find him quite tragic, but at the same time he was very troubled, and rejected any and all help which was offered to him. I put a short video up on patreon of him assaulting Malcador, and in the rest of that book he seems to just take out his anger on all the people close to him, whilst generally not acknowledging that he could help himself through these problems. I find the character super interesting, especially considering that his whole legion gets duped pretty hard by Typhus later on.

[@weediestbroom]

Quite right. Mortarian chose his path, he deserves his fate. Angron on the other hand... now thats a tragic tale

[@allenthinkingpositively6271]

I agree. One of the most tragic characters in sci fi.

[@Scholarslore]

He did indeed, I somewhat regret not adding in some of his angst from this story, but I wanted it as quite a gentle overview of the guy, the follow up video will make it sound far less tragic. Angron though was just an eternal victim, poor dude had his game rigged from the start

[@blooddrawer]

@@Scholarslore when you hear him talk about the last stand he were to have with his brothers and sister it's so sad to hear the fall and how much he loved them before they were taken from him

[@King_Himbo]

Oh boy new lore just dropped!

[@ThommyofThenn]

I've been early to a few of these now. It is sweet getting it, and tasting of it while fresh

[@Scholarslore]

Constant flow of lore!

[@ThommyofThenn]

@@Scholarslore Emperor grindset

[@be_quiet_and_drive]

Well you can definitely see why mortarion went insane. Awesome video!

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you! Something which I didn't mention in the video is that he was quite revolted by the idea of psykers and witches, so the whole time he was under the wing of Necare, he was being forced to learn about something which he hated, which would obviously drive him further into his state of despondent distrust of everyone.

[@kyle360123]

That was beautiful, the moment mort first met the humans almost brought a tear to my eye and idk why

[@Scholarslore]

Aw thank you! I find his story pretty emotional as well, although I intentionally left out some of his angst just to hammer home the feelings of abandonment that he must have experienced from this whole story.

[@Thyranel]

Cant wait for the next chapter. This was an amazing video 💪💪💪

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to writing it, I love the story of Typhus (the vid was originally going to be about him but the origins part ended up stretching too long), so it should be a fun one! Although I will be doing Angron/Khan first, just to add some spicy variety to the mix.

[@718Insomniac]

These videos are so dang good. Cant get enough.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you!

[@___Me.]

These videos are absolutely amazing. The vocabulary of these videos are really topnotch.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you! It's quite nice having an excuse to ramble on and on with a bit of an unusual lexicon, in everyday conversation there's not really an opportunity to use words like pusillanimous, or putrescent, so this is a weird literary outlet for me!

[@___Me.]

@Scholarslore Actually, you got me thinking about the hidden and not so hidden romantic outlet of Warehammer and how apt any quixotic enterprise is. Yours is an excellent excuse, please ramble on.

[@eroticgrimreaper1086]

Keep rambling it's working ​@@Scholarslore

[@DeathF1re]

Once again! amazing stuff coming out when needed! Have a happy new year to all Scholars!

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you, and a happy new year to you too!

[@ProvidenceNL]

Thank you for these, and keep them coming!

[@Scholarslore]

Thanks! More to come

[@paulkielty8385]

Woohoo! Excellent video! Can't wait for part 2 : D. Love this bloody channel.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you! Should come in about 2 months maybe? Won't be too long

[@paulkielty8385]

@Scholarslore worth the wait.

[@se7enthsoul]

I dream of a video game that would allow you to play through EVERY storyline in Warhammer.

[@gatekeeper84]

And the Emperor said: "Luke I am your Father!"

[@benmsg]

This channel is so good. I was so disappointed when it got struck for using the Attenborough voice that I stopped listening for a bit but I’m so glad I started again. The true magic of this channel is the writing not the voice that is used.

[@SAJL1VE]

Now we need the rest of the Primark's please ❤❤

[@Scholarslore]

Indeed! I'd like to cover the traitors first, only because I find them more interesting characters, but eventually I'll have done a vid on them all (hopefully)

[@dfailsthemost]

His origin would make such a good movie.

[@Ficadin1]

Never noticed it before but it's interesting to hear the AI narrator 'breathing' before speaking...

[@kayvaanmcsharrowkyn6901]

Another awesome job my battle brother! I really do hope that you will elucidate the story of the Raven Lord in a future installment...My Chapter and The Legion of Old would Thank you for such a boon. No matter what comes next however, I know it will be EPIC! PRAISE THE EMPORER! "VICTORUS AUT MORTIS ", Speak on My friend....

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you very much! I do actually have quite a long script written for Corvus's entire story, from origin to disappearance, but I need to do a full rewrite of it. It's not particularly engaging when compared to the other vids (my own fault of writing it poorly, not the fault of the story), so at some point I'll need to sit down and plough through it. I do actually really like Corax as well, so I need to do him justice with a good video!

[@shin4ko131]

I can't wait for the next vid about Mortarion!

[@nichthompson]

Good stuff. Many thanks

[@grimpenguinn1480]

just found your channel and you get a sub awesome content the emperor protects

[@avidtraveller]

Great story telling. Well met sir.

[@allenthinkingpositively6271]

Amazing vid! Can you do Corvus Corax next?

[@MrDrDeaGood]

I’ll be a lifer on this channel 😌 Please please please consider a extended Sermón 🙏🏻 Like a hour or 2 🤩

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you! I'll try to make some longer ones, looking over my list of future vids there are certainly a couple which could warrant a longer version.

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

He is a tragic character. But also is a poor choice maker and and unfeeling brute. It makes him formidable with the addition of the ruinous powers. I suspect he will be slain by a loyal Primarch at some point. Robute tried and failed and died with his effort. But he is not the only Primarch Mortarion will eventually have to deal with. Perhaps a Wolf will be his end?

[@higoku]

This lore video is exceptional, please do the same for all the other primarchs!

[@RafaCB0987]

thanks for the lore

[@michalbezdek543]

Well, i was waiting Scholar lore to make videos on chapters or primarchs

[@withouthopewithoutfear3126]

This was amazing, more like this. Would love to hear more about the rest of emperors children. Wlle done

[@cleanerben9636]

Thank you for the sermon

[@gobostrips3289]

very nice

[@dr_quietpills]

Utterly nice.

[@pvtpain66k]

My favorite Primarch AND demon prince!

[@Snoofy123]

Most enjoyable.

[@dr.robotnik3684]

Nice use of "Gather the townsfolk" art ❤

[@nadger1337]

He tried to resist, like all.

[@Scholarslore]

He tried, but unfortunately failed.

[@chasefrost1401]

There is no such thing as an unfurrowed brow in the far grimdark future.

[@crypticspires]

@scholarslore I really really enjoy your channel, and was wondering if I could interview you? I’d like to know more about your process, or alternatively interview the “scholar” himself. Know it’s a long shot but thought I’d ask.

[@gpoplingregpoplin5682]

I really like your nurgle stuff, any more of that coming?

[@Scholarslore]

Thanks! I'll be doing a follow up to cover the stuff with Typhus, and the general downfall of their legion. I've also got a video to do on Mortarions plague planet, and then I still need to remake the Gheistos Cataclysm vid which has a large focus on Nurgle plagues, but then I'll need to think of a couple more topics!

[@Ghostgate611]

RIP mitten squad.

[@sotiriospeithis6659]

Nice

[@KingLich451]

morbtraion's morbin days

[@StonedTuna]

Yes sir, thank you sir

[@Idksleep-mh7tq]

The emperor could have just dragged the overlord down so he and morty could have a 1v1

[@grahamspaull80]

Please do a video on Plauge planets with this AI voice, it is so great to work with in the background.

[@male272]

Morty hates authority...even his own. He will remain, always, the Archetype of seeking to escape domination. This is why he is a '40k Someone to Watch" thematic shifter. Imagine a Morty that rejects Nurg...asks for brotherly help with the exception he gets his own stuff as long as it's outside of Imperium interests...quite a blow to Nurg...quite a boon to the Imperium as he'll be always on the fringes battling any incursive powers.

[@kirtknierim3687]

Ya know, if you name a baby Mortarion, he's going to have problems. JS

[@UGNAvalon]

I love this voice, but I still get the occasional laugh when its AI heritage exposes itself, such as when it pronounces Mortarian as “Mortar Ian”. 🤣 Will we ever get to hear a “blooper reel” of our beloved scholar mispronouncing words before finally getting it right? Maybe as an April Fools Special or Patreon Exclusive? 😁

[@listerofsmeg9908]

David sounds s little sick.

[@christopherschwartz8771]

Dearest Scholar, are you using the word 'sorted' instead of 'sordid', or is the voice reading it wrong? It's the second video I've noticed it in, and I listen to these repeatedly to go to bed, so I keep hearing it😅. I thought I'd ask to satisfy my curiosity.

[@christopherschwartz8771]

And of course on this listen, I heard a later use of the word correctly pronounced as sordid 😂

[@evilemperorzurg9615]

Sadly, Nurgle may actually be his only master/father that actually loves him.

[@Scholarslore]

It is quite sad, even his own legion is a bit dubious of him, but as you say at least he has big papa nurgle to care for him

[@W1ldTangent]

And yet he'd deny ever needing any at all, or that the lack of one is what drove him.

[@exmalobonum1]

Part two soon? :)

[@gangstalker47]

Wait, weren't they the "Dusk Raiders" before they were named the "Death Guard"?

[@ThommyofThenn]

15:37 Imagining this as a super hero origin movie. Just finished this... At least most of us only have to hate one dad. I feel really bad for him.

[@Kenshin188]

So now I have heard two different story’s of how he started helping the humans. This one of just curious and another where he saw some humans fighting some of the overlords troops and one called to him for help and when asked why he said cuz you gave me a choice.

[@mistyyautja]

What if instead of being pale he would be like Freddy Five Bears and they would call him the Freddy Fazbear King instead of the Pale King and he'd be all like hor hor hor hor hor

[@DrewCannon]

Gather round the circuit 🎄 to praise the Emperor

[@shh1665]

Revoice the mechanicus video next?

[@vladimirmihnev9702]

I was just wondering what that discusting stanch is. This Heresy need not only Fire but a shit ton of industrial strength cleaning products!

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594]

Wondered what Captain Picard's been doing after star trek, now i know.😂

[@ao1778]

Why would the Imperium even want anything from Barbarus? This makes it seems like they were just a miserable band of farmers, what could they possibly offer through tithe?

[@shakingitoff]

Is this lore written by AI as well? The wording is very AI like

[@legendofJupp]

As always, I really like your narration - thanks alot for the video! IMO the base story just seems so weak. "I'm evil now, because someone else saved my people." The original authors could have done so much more with his upbringing by a literal monster. He should be maddingly curious, and secretly not care at all about his peoples or anyone else - why should he? He has never known humanity, empathy, family - but has been studying all his life. instead they made him an envious angsty teenager, desperately in need to prove himself - yawn

[@537h]

Mortarian is the embodiment of arrogance.

It seems like Angron being emo would be enough emo for the entire thing, but then there's this emo too. The Emp didnt take a victory from him, the Emp saved them

Second comment 🌟🌟🌟

[@peterlustig7531]

You forget the Greetings citizens, the vox transcript (CC) says so yet the scholar doesn’t say it. Heresy!

[@Ajgor_Wygoda]

Comment for algoritm : )

[@masterrace921]

Mortarion has always been one of my least favourite primarchs (in character not design) as I never understood his real motivations for betraying the emperor but now I do so thanks for that Still a terrible motivation but eh it’s believable

[@SlipDickRick]

I’m ready for da new lore

[@relight6931]

I always have a problem with Barbarus and higher being more toxic.. That is not how gas and atmosphere work.. My suspension of disbelief always falls on dumb details..

[@tokukeitaro]

It's Maaagiiiiiick!

[@michaelholmes2427]

You guys going to get anothrr strike using David'svooce... yea drunk dry snitching on ya.

[@lwo7736]

This video stinks. Grandfather is pleased

[@thanksfornoprivacy]

2 different ad breaks within 8 minutes? Ok, I’m done with this channel lol, plenty of other 40k lore that doesn’t go ballistic with ads.

[@randymouser3816]

I watched for 15 mins and only got 1 ad.
