Amend - When I say the towers on Ophelia VII were 4,000 Miles - - actually Meters lol Its been a long time getting to here, and I had some additional days for re-edits, this one is long overdue, and probably the most requested vid at this point. Safe to say though that we havent really even fully explored the Sororitas so there will be specific follow ups to come as well.

Lore for the Loremaster. Books for his throne. Let the Galaxy read.

the emperor unhappily sitting in his chair begrudgingly helping the sisters through the powers of the warp because he hates how they see him but loves how good they are at killing the xenos

Sororitas artwork is just phenomenal across the board

I love the reaction of Lorgar, Primarch of the Word Bearers legion, to the first Imperial followers; quoted from ‘The Revelation of the Word’ (December 2019) by David Annandayle. Lorgar: “You call him a god against his expressed command”. Kalia: “His dictates are a test of our faith. What is the value of a faith that is not challenged? We prove our fidelity by following these truths no matter what”. Lorgar: “Though he forbids the worship of all gods”. Kalia: “There… There is only one true god”. Lorgar: “Though your god declares he is not one”. Kalia: “Only the one true god would deny his divinity”. (Lorgar knocks the altar upside down in anger) Lorgar (infuriated): “You dare… You dare to turn my words against me?” Kalia: “I do not understand”. Lorgar: “Only a true god would deny his divinity. That is the great delusion, the one that lies at the heart of that book. And that delusion was mine. I was the one who contorted reason to produce that lie. I was the one who needed it to be true or else all my beliefs would collapse into ruin, as will yours”. [...] Kalia: “Then you are still further proof of the Emperor’s divinity. He works even through the likes of you (laughing hysterically) Hahaha, his power is so great that even his enemy must reveal his truth”. [...] Lorgar: “They are fanatics, Bal Tavor. They do not question. They do not see. They will not be turned (grimly) Destroy them all!” [...] Lorgar: “These followers of this cult… They will defy us onto death, that is their nature. In small numbers they are helpless, but in large enough gatherings they will be a threat. Belief is contagious. Given a chance this cult would have spread over worlds and beyond. Kalia Veston and all her kind must be exterminated”. [...] Lorgar: “But here is the paradox. Though these people will die for the Emperor, though they will fight us to their final breath, they also represent the end of the Emperor’s dream. They are what he tried to destroy on Monarchia. They are everything the Imperial Creed stands against. The Emperor’s most devout followers will, if they can, be the ruin of his hopes and their holy book is my doing”. [...] Lorgar: “Here at least I have destroyed what I created, what I once sought most fervently to create. I echo my father’s actions and the irony is compound. The contradictions seem irresolvable. I must make war on a religion whose foundation I have laid and whose followers reverently mouth my words. This is vexing. You have recorded all, scribe?” [...] (Lorgar charges at scribe and strangles him to death) [...] Lorgar: “No one will hear these words, but me. And there is no space now for me to untangle these paradoxes. The urgencies of war will not allow it, but I will learn the full meaning of this mystery. If I have to extinguish life from the galaxy to carve out that time, then I will. If I have to wait until eternity passes before I can meditate on the full meaning of what has transpired, then I will. But I will understand. I will know revelation”.

Sebastian Thor is a pretty interesting figure. An actual decent human being in a position of power in the Imperium...and he got away with it. His whole story is basically a giant raised middle finger to grimdark.

I have technically listened to this whole thing probably 6 times, but have effectively listened to only the first 5 minutes 6 times as luetin's soothing vocals has put me to sleep each time. Long Rest Leutin Sleep Club!

Finally Almost nobody talks about the gunslinging nuns EDIT: The nunslingers

40k is clearly an experiment in combining different tropes and archetypes that don’t usually get put together. Like cyberpunk and sexy nuns.

I just picked up Sisters of Battle this is perfect timing to get me even more inspired to paint them and pick a color scheme from the different sisters. Thank you Luetin

The sisters are my favourite faction. They embody the wrath and fury of the space marines, and they also represent the humanity in us like the Imperial Guard. Also the ending narration brought some tears to me eyes. Thank you Luetin. Great video.

Luetin09, blessed be, please consider doing a deep dive on the custodes. It would mean a lot if you could cover that faction when opportunity allows. I'd love to go deep on their genesis, esp. considering some of the older reference materials. In the interim, you have blessed us with a great video on none other than the Soroitas themselves...oh holy Emperor.

In the Book of Martyrs, there a scene of battle seen from a Tau point of view. The xenos face the Sisters and the scene shows very well how terrifying it is to fight them. The arco-flagellants and penitent engines would stop at nothing, and one of the Tau is almost cooked alive in their exosuit. There is also a gruesome scene at the end of the story, but I won't spoil it in case you want to read that book.

The ending female voiced monologue was a perfect touch to a phenominal deepbdive. Such an extremely well done video. Thank you do much for sharing Leutin! ❤

Louise, from Rogue Hobbies, makes the happiest Sister of Battle ever. No doubt, headed for a stint in the Repentia. There will be no smiling in the SoB! 🤣

I swear I can hear the narrator of the final quote smiling while she read the last sentence. Perfect, like the previous 72 minutes of this video. Thanks!

The Luetin Sleep Club thanks you for another great addition to this priceless library.

The opening gave me goose bumps. 0:55 is so awesome, the vocals sound like a Warcry from the picture. Best one since the Chaos opening.

I've actually been waiting so long for you to cover the age of apostasy, I'm so excited

Yes! Just in time for my weekend painting sessions! I just want to say thank you Luetin, for all the effort you put into your vids. The research, the YT restrictions and everything make it hard but you're still able to bring out top-notch 10/10 content. Everybody appreciates you, and what you do.

Opening song is "teraforming" by Caden Welborn. Great beat 🙌🏻

16:11 Behold followers of Luetin a rare display of his sense of humor, lol

Intro Music: Terraforming by Caden L Welborn Outro Music: Gravitated by Edgar Hopp (1:10:26) Outro Narration Music: Lama House - Astral Roar I wish people would credit the materials (art, songs, etc) even if they are free to use or not, you wouldn't have it for you vids if it weren't there, crediting them is the LEAST you can do.

I hope eventually we get a novel series detailing the relationship between the sororitas orders and their matriarchs, would be very cool to see the contrast between a mortals view of a maternal holy relationship the way we've seen so much of an immortals (the astartes) view of their paternal relationship with the primarchs.

First a major kill video, then one from Luetin while I’m working?? The emperor truly protects!

Yet another wonderful video. And absolutely beautiful that Louise Sugden's cosplay image became part of the repertoire of photos belonging to our Holy Sisters.

Seriously, your content is the best! If Games Workshop ever decides to make a movie or series, I pray to the god emperor you are a part of it. You are a 40K lore master and you would deserve that recognition!

Please keep making videos. Your videos are one of my favorite things in life. After a long day when I unwind I open these videos before going to sleep. Works like a charm everytime and I love W40k

Man this is timely, I am on a Sororitas novel binge, lol. Just finished Faith&Fire, about midway thru Pilgrims of Fire.. the SoB are just badass.

Finally, my favourite faction is getting the Luetin treatment it so deserves

Been waiting for quite some time for your video on the Sisters. Thank you so much!

That outro narration was spot on by the way. And what a great video! Been just waiting for you to get to the Sororitas, the sisterhood of badass ladies deserve their time in the sun.

Your channel is what got me into 40k and now finally a video on my favorite faction. A good day.

Hurrah! At last! I'm so excited! Thank you for putting this out. Your videos, and your style, are unmatchable!

😭😭😭 literally crying tears of joy I have listened to soooooooooo many of your videos and have waited so long for the soritas video

Dope video, much appreciated, it got me a through a rough patch of depression today

Just wanted to thank you. I've always been largely interested in the age of apostasy. Yet no one has done a real deep dive on it. So this was an amazing video just from that, let alone all the other lovely bits.

Perfect timing! I just bought my sisters army and have been consuming lore like crazy. Thank you LT!

Long ago I made a request / suggestion of a video that covered the the referred battle nuns of the imperial church. Long did I wait, and now my patience has been rewarded. Lore master Lutin, once again you have done a fantastical job and I thank you profusely.

another outstanding work I was always huge fan of lore, not just 40K but many other and your channel is everything I would ever want from this point of view keep up the amazing job

Awesome content as usual very educational and the artworks are top quality throughout the entire video.

Excellent work as always, thank you sir, the passion you put into your work is phenomenal.

Fantastic! I've been hoping for an Adepta Sororitas video for some time and you've delivered a real banger here! Fun outro at the end there too. Well done to Natalisea for the narration!

Another absolute masterpiece.. Sound, writing, summations. A pleasure to listen toZ

Other than Sabat, for whom my thanks for your mention, I get most of my experience of Sororitas from Cain's early contemptuous and later more measured view of them, so this was an unusually eye opening vid form me. Rock on, Loremaster!

Your final monolgue with that indomitas trailer and artwork, and that sister voice acting gave me chills. Well done my man Just in time for 10th. I care not for points nor rules. I will field them to remind those enemies of The Emperor that his wrath is inviolate. His will immortal.

The artwork for the 40K universe is so godd*mn good!

I knew it was coming but SO glad I waited for you to broach this shadowy blood-soaked age. Super epic vid LT. Thanks for your continuing content!!

We are blessed - Luetin is sharing his wisdom with us again - light of the Emperor is shining upon us :D

The Sororitas are one of my favorite factions. I wonder why they always seem to end up as DLC in games.

Amazing video and love the content on the Sisters of Battle. The depth of insight you give is always refreshing.

Another incredible deep dive Luetin09. A fantastic must watch for all fans of 40k lore and beyond!

I am not even remotely surprised that Thor’s head is a part of Trazyn’s collection. I wouldn’t even be shocked if he had a missing/presumed dead Primarch in his possession. I love that crazy Necron; he’s one of the best, and most amusing, characters in 40K.

Luetin, I love you. Your work is amazing. Thank you for all you do.

Amazing episode about one of my fav fractions. Great narration as usual but daaaamn the voice over of final lines hit me

This was a banger. A top ten vid in the Luetin library, IMO

1:03:20 Well, she seems very happy with her Imperial faith.

Ah another exposé to listen to while we Many finalize preparations for our next Harrowing...

These lore videos about races, or subsections of a race are the most interesting I find. Learning about the Dark Eldars, Tau, Necrons, or the Legion of the Damned and Death Korps of Krieg when it comes to the Imperium was absolutely fascinating. Thank you for blessing us with these !

I'm so glad I noticed this video at 1:30 in the morning while I struggle to sleep. You're the best Luetin, thank you!

Thanks for the vid! A great scene for the lore would be Guiliman's (or the Lion) reactions to seeing a Soritas anchorite. How would he react to this horror in his father's name? Does he hold it in while in the presence of others or rage. Does he go back to his quarters and do what for a Primarch passes as weeping? If anything like this exists, it would make a great vid.

Is it just me, or does hunting down mutants not come up nearly as much as it should relative to the setting? On that note, Sisters are warp sorcerers and it's based.

I've been waiting for this great work of yours. Thank you so much for what you bring to 40K.

That was freakng amazing!! My favorite one of yours yet. I love the Sister of Battle. Just epic!

Just finished Hammer and Anvil by James Swallow. It is a solid book and well worth a read.

Best job in the Imperiun: Personal massage therapist for Sororitas.

I'm a n00000b and I'm just scratching the surface of the lore,but I can already point to countless elements in popculture that have been "heavily inspired by WH40k"/"stolen from WH40k". It's quite amazing.

Your production values are so epic. Amazing work thanks for making each video a bit of a masterpiece 👍

All of Terra salutes the Adeptus Sororitas! Ave Imperator! Hail, the Sisters of Battle! Side note: never fails to catch my interest and embiggen my lorebrain, thanks Leutin!

Trazyn is 40k version of a Funko Pop collector. I can imagine him doing a pog as his face contorts into a soyjak as he adds Sebastian Thor's skull into his collection.

Duuude!!! The artwork and music was on par with the narration, perfectly harmonic. Thank you.

Luetin09. Best of the best of the best. Thank you for blessing us with another fantastic lore filled video. Much love.

Sororitas really brings in the grimdark. Yeah, fighting alien monsters and five flavors of demons is scary, but remembering just how twisted and savage the Imperium is reminds you that humanity is in no way the "good guys" here.

Please do Sisters of Silence next.

Oh my word Lue, this was exactly what I've been waiting for. Thank you for your hard work!

the intro music was a real nice change of pace. great video as always , thank you, Luetin.

*For HIM on Terra!*

I love Trazyn , such a well done character.

Awesome video as always mate, worth the wait!

Awesome work as always Luetin09 😄

Nobody gets me more hype to believe in a fictional religion and follow a fictional god emperor into battle!!

EMPEROR BE PRAISED A NEW LUETIN DROP HAS GRACED US 🙏😭

Thank you!!!! You got me into this obsession, I mean hobby, and I’ve been wanting to see you do this faction.

I never know if I should save the lore video's for those days I feel bad to cheer myself up, or just consume them as fast as they appear. There is just something about the bad company 2 intro sound that never fails to put a smile on my face. Never the less thank you for the lore, as someone who has never read/played any WH40k they are a wonderful glimpse into a chasm so deep and full of wonder and or horror. They are masterfully made, cheers luetin

I would really love if you covered Fallen Sisters. Mostly because their over zealous demeanor makes them uniquely vulnerable to Chaos. Yes, I know most sisters don't fall. But you know what they say "Blood for the Emperor, Skulls for the Golden Throne". ;)

It surprised me seeing the armed militia of the most fanatical and bloodthirsty cult in human history mostly depicted nowadays as a noble order of valiant knights. Shows how the Imperium has been shifting (retconned ?) towards being the "good guys" of the setting. Thanksfully loremasters like Luetin still remain nuanced towards the Sisters of battle.

That was some gooood story time! Thank you. I’m in the early planing stages for a Sisters cosplay and your vid is a great reference. 😊

Thank you!! I have been waiting for you to make a video about these ladies!!

I'd love to see a sister of battle debating 304s

I've always loved how the women in 40k aren't just generic overly sexualized warrior women like you see in many other entertainment pieces but are instead actually fleshed out and badass and complex characters with practical armor. We want warriors not battle stripers.

Thanks for the video man, really needed some of this.

Thanks for the video, story time with Luetin is the best :D

The sisters of snu snu. I really hope Cavill's 40k series has them play a prominent role.

Sororitas: We need dreadnoughts. Repentia: We have dreadnoughts at home…

Probobly the best choice of intro sound track out of all the videos on wargammer 40k lore you have

OMG YES ive been waiting for this topic to be covered :D im excited

We are li-ving in an im-perium world. And I am an im - pe-ri-um girl

Women in media be like "Show me a strong independent woman that doesn't need no Xenos." Warhammer is welcome to everyone so we may suffer together the endless struggle. No bugs, greenies, knife ears or blues and especially no xenos and other ayylamos. Those are not welcome here, go back to the warp and never return.

Thank you kindly for this offering oh loremaster Luetin.

Been waiting for this one!!
