Moral of the Story: Pappa Nurgle tried to send a party of Plaguebearers to tell those upstart whippersnapper Eldar to get off his lawn... They did not listen so now they are permanently parts of that lawn.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Papa Nurgle is a Texan then.

[@attemptedunkindness3632]

He told them "Your ass is grass".

[@TheCorrodedMan]

@@attemptedunkindness3632his puts in my head an image of Nurgle angrily mowing the lawn, complaining about those damn Eldar weeds killing his rot roses

[@TheCorrodedMan]

I love that Nurgle isn’t like the other chaos gods, in that he doesn’t spend all of his time focused on the next battle in the Great Game or the Long War; instead, he rests his weary(and very warty)bottom in a nice rocking chair and chats with the youngins, only ever taking an active role when one of those damn imperium hoodlums starts causing a ruckus. I just imagine him standing up angrily and storming off to the Throne Room on Terra to tell the Emperor to get His kids out of his yard. He’s too afraid to, of course, so he gets Isha to tell him off instead, standing behind her like a kindergartener behind an angry teacher.

[@willrogers3793]

I’m sure that somebody’s already mentioned this, but it occurs to me that someone truly “gifted” by Grandpa Nurgle would likely break down in tears of bliss at the sight of the garden. To those whose perceptions have been altered by The Lord of All, it would be the unrivaled epitome of beauty and wonder...which would also explain the obscene amounts of joy infesting the whole disgusting area.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Well, I'd think one of the first things that goes once you're "blessed" by Nurgle is your sense of smell and gag instinct :D

[@rabbidfanatic535]

Nurgle may be filthy, but he sure has manners for travelers and a mind of a scientist.

[@willrogers3793]

Also, on an unrelated note, Nurgle might want to be on the lookout for the Emperor suddenly appearing in his garden. Rumor has it that He managed to reclaim the soul of his son, Magnus the Red, from the grasping tentacles of Tzeentch. (By repeatedly poking the Changer of Ways and chanting “Give me the soul, give me the soul” no less.) If these rumors are at all true, then Grandpa Nurgle might want to keep an extra-vigilant eye on his beloved bride, because if on some whim or other, The Emperor decides he wants Isha for himself...well...let’s just say the garden might suddenly have annoying amounts of gold, light, and High Gothic chanting appearing within it.

@@JoseMejia-ni5ok lol, have you ever watched the series "If the Emperor had a text to speech device"?

[@gamingyt0109]

Pretty sure he won't care about Mortarion though, I heard big E hate his body odor.

[@eightball6219]

There also appears to be a large village known as "Cleveland"

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Wonder in whose Chaos God's realm would Detroit be, then...

[@TheCorrodedMan]

GrimDark Narrator malal's(if he existed)

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

So Detroit's existence is not canon either :D

[@eightball6219]

At this point and time I wish

[@willrogers3793]

Much as I love the chain of responses claiming that Detroit is in Malal’s realm, and thus, not canon, I have to disagree. Detroit definitely shows all the hallmarks of Nurgle’s influence. Now, Compton on the other hand...

[@JeanLucCaptain]

he actually sounds like a pretty swell guy:)

[@JeanLucCaptain]

come to pappa! yay DADDY!!!

[@nightsage217]

Oh. Hi, you look like cool guy. Urm, no thank you. But thank you, I am not really into drinking. Really. I mean-urgh! Grup! Grup! Splash! Splurk! My ribs is on the wrong side. Thanks, buddy.....

[@MrMinecraftsman]

Right? For a god of plague and decay he seems pretty chill.

[@bkr1895]

Yeah as far as chaos gods go Nurgle’s not that bad. He just like really into entropy it‘s like his really passionate hobby, and he doesn’t really have malice in his plagues as stated as he tries to make them painless. And the fact he actually listens and wants to hear about the exploits of his servants makes him seem like a good leader, I bet he’s even willing to listen to constructive criticism and suggestions from his servants.

[@kobus9808]

He is

Gray Knight Paladin: One does not simply walk into the Dark Gods domain of the Warp! Gray Knight Paladin: The Lord Slayer is the only exception,!

[@santiagolozoya4940]

Used this as a reference for a game board that i am working on! thank you for your in-depth descriptions!

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

You're welcome.

[@DustyTheKitty]

Sometimes you just gotta stop and smell the corpse-flowers~

[@Diarmuhnd]

*Every world has its "stink" , but grandfather Nurgle just does it best.* :)

[@MrKago1]

I actually like TTS Magnus' description of Nurgle being the embodiment of nature. This garden is like the distilled essence of the circle of life and death. Perverted to all hell of course. I am very conflicted. Seems like the least shitty of the Chaos domains, yet is clearly the most shitty....

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

An interesting interpretation.

[@cleanerben9636]

Nurgle is the truth! Life never truly dies! A rotting corpse is a home for all manner of bacteria and wriggly critters! What is more beautiful than that?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Just as planned!

[@camsmith3123]

5:18 okay i don't know what that is but it is fucking awesome. thumbs up if you agree

[@peterga3658]

ok ill start this Chaos lore playlist for today . GDN i think you can give us some more Chaos Demon lore ? maybe Chaos specific titans they got some wild things the chaos gods . Chaos weapons ? they have a lot of weapon with lore/info about them what they can do or how they created who is using them etc . just spiting ideas here ! 😅

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I did make videos on chaos titans. Check the forces of chaos playlist. As for demons, I did make videos on the specific daemons of each chaos god.

[@IsaacCoverstone]

Great job, I would love to be a narrator for 40K lore, not sure why it appeals to me so much.

[@SpencerLemay]

You can only do warhammer 40k videos if you have a thick accent, speech impediment, or adopt some strange way of speaking like rolling r's with an English accent.

[@tyrantonion6660]

Well on the positive side, Nurgle is a content creator for his audience.

[@arinthel]

This video is about to become a lot more popular

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

For all the wrong reasons, lol.

[@wrigglenight93]

Luetin has pretty handily debunked the idea that Nurgle was the first Chaos god by the way

[@raymondespera5161]

Swell guy Santa

[@MoonBillboardRileyReidMemes]

I personally think the chaos gods are a great metaphor for life. They're like the fiction four horsemen but resemble it better than a horse.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Well, they are aspects of regular life taken to extremes.

[@MoonBillboardRileyReidMemes]

@@GrimDarkNarrator I listened to your Tzeentch narration but it felt like it didn't have an actual explanation while the Nurgle one had a big indepth discussion like the palace of slaanesh. I'm curious how you feel about these, do you like one chaos god more and what is it about the god.

[@arnejakobsen3296]

Grimdark narrator, you are a master storyteller. Your eloquent and colorful tales and description are a true joy to listen to. I travel a lot and often find myself stuck in various train stations at ungodly hours like tonight and your tales make the time fly. Thank you

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks for listening and for the praise.

[@wiibrockster]

The Garden of Nurgle is the Liverpool of 40k.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Is Liverpool that bad ? lol

[@axtondragunov1784]

Nurgle despite being the keeper of a fetid rotting realm of rot and pain is somewhat comforting because he is more human than the other gods

[@wilmagregg3131]

okay as gross as nurgle is the image at 108 is very cute

[@silvertandsebitus6602]

All hail papa Nurgle

[@JeanLucCaptain]

& the wild filth works!

[@frankcastle9691]

Heresy!

[@reallycats357]

This place is also known as "England"

[@jasonulysess3652]

Hello KZbin algorithm. Uh what happened! Did the salad go bad?

[@peterga3658]

its a cool night ill rewatch this playlis,t pizza cola GDN chaos lore videos

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Sounds good :)

[@alienzone3147]

Fantastic research. subscribed

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks. Kudos to the wiki writers, though.

[@pailhorsegaming6762]

All praise the grandfather!

[@plaguemarine8023]

Why does Nurgle actually seem like a cool dude

[@lonestar6709]

Nurgle believes in rebirth. Life, death and the cycle renewed. A positive natural cycle. He's seen as an almost jovial, accepting Dark God. He believes in inevitability instead of conquest and murder. Unsurprisingly, he hates his dark brother Khorne, and rarely marches with him. Even his mortal enemies affectionately refer to him as _"Grandfather Nurgle"._

[@DocApoc]

@@lonestar6709 pretty sure typhus and kharn are bros to eachother tho

[@diantebaileu9163]

Wait. The green giant guy at the beginning. Thats nurgle... Nurgles a fucking green skin?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

He is more like green-brown :)

[@MagicEye117]

Nurgle is actually a swert guy.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

He really is.

[@shaunvanderheyden1446]

So getting sick is like a free trial and then not feeling it is premium?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

That and spreading it is the even more premium.

[@bryanbarcelo5440]

still a cleaner place than San Francisco.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I've never been to the US, but I was under the impression that SF was one of the nicer cities on the west coast.

[@bryanbarcelo5440]

not anymore. now it is really well known for having literal piles of shit on the open streets, one of the worse crime rates in the US, a raging drug problem, and full of homeless people to the brim.

[@wilmagregg3131]

yep they have the most extensive homeless help program so no suprise the homeless flood in by the day so bad that the streets are literally coverd in used needles and poop

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

That doesn't sound good.

[@wilmagregg3131]

its not but nurgle would love it

[@magnumpi2326]

More awesome content!!!!

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thank you.

Not if you're rich, I guess.

You're supposed to be impartial and praise all the 4 chaos powers!

[@lonestar6709]

Still nicer than Detroit.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I'll take your word for it.

[@erikdanielsson8215]

He must have been the creator of the Corona virus!!

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

If he engineered that, we'd all be dead :D

Corona was just a failed by-product of his other works

[@rottenhog1388]

Are pigs allowed in the garden?

Rotten Hog only if they have swine flu
