The End and the Death - Dorn vs Khorne || Voice Over (Part 1)

A larger 40k excerpt, with more to come!
This is a moment I love that doesn't get too much of a mention compared to the rest of the incredible things in this final trilogy.
The perfect portrayal of the willpower of Dorn that he passed to his sons and an interesting take on Khorne and some of his testing of these stronger figures in the Heresy that I feel could have a knock on effect much later on.

Been a bit before I could upload a 40k segment so I put my time into a longer one! Hopefully I can keep up the editing and uploading on these parts each week until they are done. As for the excerpt itself, as a large fan of Dorn and his Sons, this is one of my favourite newer segments! It shows off the best of the most indomitable primarch! A lot of the same coming, though no less entertaining. I also believe this may play into events later with the Iron Cage, Dorn's shame and I am excited to see if that is true. If you enjoyed please do like, comment and subscribe for the next parts. My thanks for waiting and, as always, my thanks for watching!

The Emperor: *STOP.*

[@KaiserAfini]

Dorn is a primarch and as such, has perfect recall. Khorne is attempting to drain knowledge and sanity from him through isolation, something the human mind normally cannot handle. If Dorn stops thinking, gives up on being stoic and abandons self restraint, then he will become a creature of instinct, a berserker of Khorne. Its why its so important to maintain the ritual, to affirm he is unyielding, because it gives it meaning, makes it into habit, a commitment, an oath and thus it acts as a defense against the erosion of self, much like sacrificial cathodic protection shields a ship's hull from corrosion.

[@alastor8091]

Didn't even think about it like that. If he can't break Dorn through normal means, he just floods him with nothingness.

[@kerkezpavle]

I think people have a very misconceived notion of Khorne being some loudmouth who just screams and kills. I there is far more to him and the way his corruption works. The end result is always similar, but he is a god who is as deep and profound as any of the gods.

Dorn's anger is like a dam. Normally it's pretty stalwart, but if it collapses oh boy

[@thetalon100]

You know this gives me an idea: what if Dorn’s disappearance is just Khorne going for a round two with the Praetorian of Terra? Like he’s just stuck in the warp (minus one hand) duking it out with the blood god because Khorne actually found someone he could go toe to toe with?

While entirely tangential, i feel like this approach of ascertaining the facts, discerning and holding onto to what is evidently and provably fact can be helpful in dealing with stuff like depression, especially the personal facts

[@danielquintonvo]

Absolutely! I couldn't agree more, it almost mirrors the panic grounding techniques taught to people with anxiety. A stoic, will driven method might not always be the best solution but there is a surprising amount to be taken from here for good, still! My thanks for watching!

[@hammer1349]

@danielquintonvo on further reflection, the similarities with depression in the text is rather interesting as well. Seemingly endless nothing, eroding a person from without and within, almost taunting them with glimpses of memories called into question by doubt and fear. I have to admit, I was not expecting it.

[@Kropothead]

You’re not wrong. Mindfulness is a great skill to hone if you have mental health problems. It doesn’t stop symptoms, but it helps you remember what you’re feeling may not match consensus reality.

[@cookiemathew1656]

@@sanguinius_ytI find odd that in contrast to a lot of other aspects of lore Khorne only has become more simplistic, there was a time in which the quality of the skull mattered and not all blood was the same, nowadays seems as long you fulfill your daily amount of X hectolitres of blood and Khorne is pleased be it from harmless civilians or other faction's champions; seems they are relegating him to be the god of mindless slaughter and nothing else, War as whole is a way bigger concept than that and Khorne should be the greatest savage and the greatest general at the same time; when Rogal was trying to numb his influence with theory it would had been intersting for Khorne to counter with even deeper knowledge about the matter but Khorne is no more sofisticated than a caveman wielding a rock against another, that's such a narrow space for one of the main forces of the whole setting.

[@Vaax27Gaming]

I think its incredibly sad and twisted that Khorne showed Dorn what would become of many of his sons. Let me explain; I always saw the dead men he found to be a representation of those Sons of Dorn who had not only fallen during the Heresy, but would also fall in the coming centuries, whether they be part of the parent chapter or successors.

[@philip8498]

maybe the ones who died specifically during the iron cage incident?

[@Uknon_The_Knight]

I like to think along with the other tenants khorne represents is also insanity. With trapping Dorn, he's breaking his mind trying to make him lose himself like with all of his followers, like Kharn was once honorable but lost himself to khorne. It's a side that's not the loud blood and skull thing but an interesting opposite.

[@noahgreen2044]

In a lot of ways. War is insane. I think you may be onto something.

[@dualwieldroxas358]

It is the immaterium, so time really does not follow reality. In reality, he barely spent a few hours in the desert. Also, Khorne is actually rather clever. His followers are rage personified, but how they got there is by Khorne's mechanations. He isn't Tzeentch, who has plans in plans in plans. He is straight forward trying to get people mad enough that they lose control
