The End and the Death III - The Emperor Interned || Voice Over

Some content from the new 'The End and the Death Part 3'. I want to get to more content from this book as it has a lot of incredible lore revelations and some fantastically written emotion as well as action.
To begin, however, I am starting from the end, from the thing we knew had to be coming, the Emperor's entombment on the Golden Throne, all viewed by Malcador the Sigillite, or rather, Malcador the Hero, as he passes.

I wanted to get something from this book out, and I hope to be able to get more out soon, too! Though, I am getting rather busy so it may not be as soon as I would like. This moment really hit me, though, with some fantastic life affirming narratives and some truly sad moments in what is arguably the most important tipping point in all of Warhammer! If you enjoyed please do like, comment and subscribe for some more! My many thanks for watching!

“Oh Vulkan, my boy” Guess we know whose the favorite

[@StimmBehr]

I always thought that with every comment the Emperor made of him that he had the biggest part to play in the grand plan… but who knows

[@Nate-qf5zp]

Oh, you mean the child who is good and pure and simply not allowed to die at all? Him the favorite, no way.

[@TheHound402]

I still think it was Horus. "I will wait for you and I forgive you."

[@StimmBehr]

@@TheHound402 Emperor is definitely playing the long game with Vulkan. Secret favorite or close favorite.

[@TheHound402]

I agree. Majorkill thinks he is THE favorite, and I think he might have a point@@StimmBehr

[@Abysswalker8220]

I won’t lie…the thought of Rogal Dorn weeping is heartbreaking to me. To have a man so defiant and unyielding brought to tears is powerful.

[@KaiserAfini]

Rogal always cared deeply, always considered what he was doing and why. He was always trying to be better, as a person, as a general, he never stopped trying to improve on what he was doing. But he was not made of stone, for all his stoicism, he was human. His family was broken, the Imperium's dream shattered, his father half dead. So the man who shouldered the weight of the world could not bear his burden anymore.

[@JohnDoe-or9gg]

I don't know why but Rogal makes me think of vegeta in a way (Yes i know im lame). This stoic and never smiling serious guy that secretly cares about his family.

[@stacycrews3164]

When I read master of mankind, he had one moment of softness in a meeting. Custodians refused his help and also seemed to say they couldn't trust the legions fully. He stiffened like he was offended but nodded and said something along the lines of "Magnus, my brother, of all the mistakes you have made, this one is the worst" I was the first time I ever seen him seem saddened. BUT THIS BOOK, I broke for him.

[@FFVogter.-em6zz]

No wall is unbreakable, no siege is unstoppable. If this is what it takes to make a man like Rogal Dorn cry then it's both a sign of his strength but also how terrible the Horus Heresy was.

[@nks432]

Rogal - true to his nature as the consummate siege-master - built a fortress around his emotions... but like all fortresses, it was built to protect - his feelings. Rogal felt deeply... he cared immensely for family and loved ones... perhaps more so than any other primarch. In The Flight of the Eisenstein, Euphrate Keeler cries for him - because she and Garrow have broken a brother's heart by news of Horus's treachery and it will never mend again. Rogal slept every night with the blanket of the grandfather who raised him.

[@DavisXero]

“I weep for the end of a dream that never came to pass” I seriously hope you narrate for the black library soon.

[@DartzIRL]

"Look, we'll stick him on the chair to keep it ticking over until we figure out how to fix it." Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.

[@brooklynkeith2877]

Hearing Malcador call him "His king of Ages" really shows how much he loved the Emperor beloved by all. Only Constantine has ever uttered that phrase and it was when the sun rose in the sunless relm.

[@GMNGordon]

I think it's used by other custodes during this book as well?

[@reculture]

Indeed, that wording reminded me of John Gramaticus last scene in the book, laying the tread by the (cave) painting...

[@KaiserAfini]

Malcador sounds so old, older than all the ages of the Earth. Melancholic, tired, worried for his found family, wishing to impart some final words of wisdom. He always had such focus, drive and hope, but this moment cut deep. Incredible voice acting, very powerful.

[@AveSicarius]

I mean Malcador is thousands of years old, and is a character I think actually portrays this. Human's in 40k aren't meant to live that long, even the Perpetuals struggle, unlike the Aeldari who were born to immortality (or as close as now-Mortal creatures can get to it after the Birth of Slaanesh). He's an ancient and aged being, he's not eternally young, he's eternally aged, and is very clear about how tired he is when he ascends the Golden Throne. Malcador was perhaps the Emperor's only real friend after the other Perpetuals left, and is the only one the Emperor truly confided in at every point. He stuck around so long because of this, and lived to fulfill the Emperor's purposes.

[@_NutcasE_]

Rather fitting how Emperor is so very grounded in the end. He is not an omnipotent being playing 4d chess. Instead he is just a man burdened with knowledge making plans upon plans in hopes of achieving the best outcome possible. Years of speculation offof how much this was intentional only to discover none of it was and that he is just a man trying his best is very tragic. I'm glad they chose to preserve this outcome and not be reactionary towards people wanting more grimdark Heresy conclusion. This always was supposed to be the catalyst for the grimdark 10,000 years. Very good delivery. My favorite part was the delivery of malcadors sadness to Rogals tears.

[@AveSicarius]

That's always been the point. The Emperor isn't a God, He's just a Man, a powerful and extremely knowledgeable one, practically immortal and eternal, but not perfect despite all that. He told people this repeatedly, but they just couldn't fathom someone like that was just a Man, and labelled Him a God instead. He even casts off the promise of Apotheosis and remains a Man to safeguard Humanity, demonstrating this to be true until the end. The Emperor even says this to Sanguinius, that His foresight isn't as developed as His Son, and that He basically gets vague impressions of the future, a massive number of branching decisions that are unclear and can only be navigated with assumption and knowledge, not purely foresight. I never understood the whole "the Emperor planned everything" when it's clear that this fate could have been avoided at many turns if His foresight was that developed, and this is the single WORST possible outcome bar Horus surviving and taking Terra. In my opinion, there are no God's in 40k, there are powerful things, indescribable entities, but between Extradimensional Parasites that feed upon sentient mind's, Sentient Creature's of Pure Energy born in the Big Bang that feed upon the very Stars themselves, the Crystallized forms of Sentient Beliefs like the Aeldari created in the War in Heaven, Machine's beyond the scope of imagination, and simple biological beings blessed with immense potency, all are fallible, none are omnipotent, nor omniscient, and all can die! This is what makes the setting so dark, people believe these creatures to hold their hopes and dreams, they seek meaning from them in an apparently meaningless universe, and all that Faith is based upon lies. The only ones who understand this made their own such mistakes in the past, and caused the state of the Galaxy through this, the Necron's killed their Star God's, and the Aeldari buried theirs until they birthed a new one. The Tau kind of get this, but from a point of ignorance and naivete.

[@Lost7one]

Very well put!

[@reculture]

I liked that thematic emphasize and gotta give props to BL for not writing reactionary fun service in regards to the whole mythology accumulated through years around HH, through fan theories/expectations and so on...

[@DAAllan82]

​@@AveSicarius Well said. The way I like to think of the Emperor's plans is almost as if he were a poker player. Poker is a game of limited information, but you do know all of the possible outcomes. You can bet and raise or fold with the knowledge of the possibilities, and a good player simply maximizes the chips on the table when the odds are in his favor. But the player still might lose, despite having the statistically better hand. The Emperor acts similarly. He has some foresight and can "see" a myriad of possibilities. So he acts to maximize humanity's odds to survive and thrive, even though he might still lose when the final card is on the table. And like a good poker player, he tries to leave himself "outs" to salvage a bad situation, to have an improbable victory, and to minimize damage so that he might play another hand. Likewise, even being on the Golden Throne, the Emperor has "outs". His primarchs are returning and the devotion of the imperium is making him more powerful. Humanity is in a terrible spot, but they still have some "outs" as it were.

[@jeftecoutinho]

"I have tasted but a brief moment of that eternity; and that is more than enough!"

“Oh Vulkan, my boy” that broke my little heart

[@xtremeranger30]

Rogal Dorn managed to retain his stoicism and composure for almost the entire Siege of Terra. It's devastating to see Dorn in tears here over his father when the Emperor was so distant from his Primarch sons. 😢

[@ethanduncan1646]

Man Malcador here kinda hypes me up for Rogal Dorn returning. The brick wall Dorn getting teary and emotional while Malcador hopes he learns from his mistakes in the future? Damn.

[@TheHound402]

So powerful. To us, the Primarchs are demigods. To Malcador and The Emperor, they are but children, left with an empire their fathers fear they cannot manage.

[@firefield28]

It's no surprise that if you are a man of a certain age, you will completely, and utterly, understand what Malcador meant by the futility of plans, the fickle nature of time and the future, and of course, the dogged persistence to continue, so that those that come after you may persist and fight the same good fight.

[@BaalFridge]

He is old. He is tired. He sits on the Golden Throne. 😢

[@khamilleavila4891]

Who in the world is cutting onions?

[@KaiserAfini]

Someone next to Dorn, powerful onions they are, to affect a primarch.

[@andrewpandrew7786]

I weeped at this. Literally sobbed. The glorious future of humanity destroyed, transfigured into an abominable existence from this point on. Yet 10,000 years later humanity persists after this turning moment. We fight. We do not lose hope. It’s so tragic yet inspiring.

[@captainomoplata643]

You’re either exaggerating or a loser. Get a grip.

[@feris2137]

Malcador's last words about the plans is just something else. Guilliman returning was truly the only thing that saved Imperium

[@Victard]

Malcador and the Emperor are, by far, the two best characters in all of warhammer 40k lore. Ah Malcador, you will be missed. I hope the Emperor will be whole

[@qusai.wzaitoon8372]

"I wonder if they have learnt enough." Malcador always considered the primarchs as his sons even if he doesn't want to admit it. This book made me cry a lot and seen a side of Malcador and the Emperor we've never seen before. Their humanity and compassion. The Emperor truly loved his sons and always suppressed that love by treating them as tools. I have so much things to say but I can't find the words to describe them. Malcador's love for Vulkan, Rogal, & Sangunius. Malcador's deep affection for his friend and King of Ages, the Emperor. beloved by all, Oh man. this is just a lot to take :( I really hope that you narrate for the Black Library. You've got the spark!

[@marklacey1897]

I always loved Malcador as a character and this is the cherry on top. The idea of him lingering after his death, only to see Big E take his place, is so tragic and beautifully depicted here and really shows how much he loved him and his sons. Really well done on the voice over, you really did him justice 👌

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

Sheer Willpower!!

[@jonathanj.7549]

Malcador loved his friend, his Emperor and he loved his sons. Malcador the Hero will always be remembered. I am currently crying

[@BowieVoi]

E

[@johnradetzki1860]

As I was listening to this, at first, with the art, and intelligence of the speaker, I thought it was the perspective of the Emperor. When I realized it was Malcador soeaking, I nearly teared up... His final moments spent in the knowledge of the cruel reality of the golden throne's purpose.

[@brandonkipta4426]

Moments like this remind me how frail,old Malcador could make a primarch feel small.

[@aletrius]

Great narration, bravo. Malcador alone understood the Emperor and his depths; what had to be done and why. Thus he sat the Throne to give his old friend the time he needed to save Humanity - what it had always been about. It is also why he is not sad for the Emperor, for when they committed to the plan they both knew it was a possibility (perhaps, in truth, an inevitability). It is His sons whom Malcador feels sadness for, for they do not understand, neither why - truly - the two of them did it, or what it means. Malcador the Hero, indeed.

[@zelithfang2365]

Even this coming from a grim dark crazy ass fantasy of roided out hulking super soldiers, gods, demons and aliens, the discussion on plans should be taken to heart. Nothing ever goes as planned. Always best to prepare for when a plan fails, and have flexible backups in place behind it.

[@Zeke2001]

You know its so sad that even Dorn is crying

[@pedrobernardes6714]

in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only... sadness...

[@rm06c]

This is fantastic, a great voicing of Malcador and wonderful to see his perspective.

[@lordinvictus793]

The thing I find most moving here, is the reflection that plans fail. You can have everything laid out, and it will blow up in your face. Consider all the contingencies and get caught with your pants down, you can be the smartest guy in the room-and it will all still fail. All you can do is make back ups, and hope really.

[@ricardoandre7049]

Day 3 of asking a dropside massacre narration. (I want to see Corax look into the eyes of Nostramo's Dark King and see his death. I want to see lorgar humiliated and Ferrus's head in the phoenician's hands as he realizes what he has done) Great as always

[@S.A.S.H.]

interred: place (a corpse) in a grave or tomb, typically with funeral rites. Having typed that, great voice-over work.

[@Hiro1oo1]

A layer of tragedy I think about when listening to this is that, through the Horus Heresy and in other novels where we get an idea of what kind of thing the Emperor is and that his attitude towards his primarchs is through the sight of a maker and his tools. He treats them all certain ways to have them useful to his goals. In this passage, it seems to me as though he's forgone that attitude of seeing them as tools, and is grasping a true glimpse of how his sons wanted to see him and have him treat them. To see someone as stoic as Dorn shed tears for him, to have Vulkan in his presence, to have broken and spoken to Horus to wait for him to come back to him again, it's not the attitude of a man regretting that his tools didn't save the day or do as he pleased. It is as if he, at the end of his life, finally is ready to call them his sons. And it's just too late.

I really liked this chapter but I thought it unlikely that Malcador would be able to wax so eloquently when his mind, body, and spirit were ablaze with the powers of the throne to the point of almost complete destruction. I imagined the best he would be able to say is "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuuuuuuuck!"

I can see this as a credit scene in the movie, where the credit roll but the screen wasn't black but scenes where the loyal sons bring their father back while Malcador narrates. It's end with The injured lord takes his seat on the throne and the screen cut to black.
