I love how you simultaneously sound disgusted and extremely intrigued

[@willrogers3793]

Of the many channels that cover the lore of 40k, I think yours is probably the best at presenting the lore from a truly “in-universe” perspective. Excellent work, as we have all come to expect! May the Emperor’s light shine upon your most hallowed endeavors, Honored Remembrancer.

My favorite thing about Imperials recounting the fall of the Aeldari is the complete lack of self awareness they possess.

[@EDuarteVillanueva]

That party got really out of control.

[@Asurnasurpal]

Man, as a writer I cannot imagine the amount of work you had to put in to lean so hard on Imperial xenophobia while still remaining ultimately informative. Your stuff is always top notch, but it really does take a damn side of skill to pull that off. Well bloody done man.

Have a care, Chronicler. To dwell upon the Warp is to be dwelt upon, to see is to be seen, and to seek is to be sought. Be not found.

Up until now I though there was a major time line mistake with the Elder Empire and Human Federation both being dominant powers at the same time. This video makes excellent sense of that apparent contradiction though showing that while the Elder were arguable at the peek of there power at the same time humanity was the former had by that point no interest in projecting that power on the galactic stage.

GW: The Aeldari are a dying race! They've been slowly dying for 15,000 years!

[@daroonsims]

I really feel like every topic you cover becomes the definitive telling of that story

[@nananyarko9682]

MOAR ANYTHING JUST MAKE MORE

[@thefirstprimariscatosicari6870]

After the resurrection of Guilliman and the creation of an alliance it seems like that, atleast a part of the Aeldari specie, finally learned that Mankind is the galaxy only hope for a better future and the better specie.

[@stevemanart]

Even now that opening line is still one of if not my favorite quote from this entire channel.

[@chrisprescott2273]

The disdain in your voice is palpable and appropriate when speaking of the fate of the Eldar, and brother I love it.

[@karstein4398]

Glory to you, Remembrancer.

[@alexvaraderey]

That last line is so brilliantly written. If irony could run machinery, the Imperium would have a perpetual power source.

[@MHF013]

O Wise Chronicler, Keeper of Ancient Knowledge: Please, enlighten this humble apprentice. Who, if anyone, is the beatific, glorious Power Armoured Warrior depicted at approximately

[@Joetime90]

Thank you for covering my 40k faction with an interesting narrative style. I truly appreciate your touch on all your 40k videos! I really love the Aeldari as I see a bit of them in myself.

[@svedishbiker]

Great video. Would love to hear your words on the Drukhari!

A curious thought I have had, it seems what records we have of humanity in the Dark Age of Technology paints them as utilizing truly fantastic weaponry such as the Men of Iron, Castigator class titans, and weaponry that manipulates time itself. The galaxy is a dangerous place, but such destructive capabilities seem odd for a time of relatively peaceful expansion and exploration. We also know that the Dark Eldar are the closest to what their empire resembled before the fall, wielding weapons of unbelievable destructive capabilities and combined with the psychic might of their race would have made them nearly unstoppable. And worse, with their descent into madness and debased pleasure the need for new victims was likely far worse than Dark Eldar raids in the 41st millennium.
