Ra actually accomplished his mission, he has so far kept Drachnyen from reuniting with the forces of chaos. Sure abbadon has him, but he just uses him as a fancy sword for the most part. Instead of Drachnyen being free and actively trying to end the imperium where he can get the most done, he gets leaned up against abbadons throne and occasionally swung at something.

@@CountingStars333 There are people that believe that North Korea is the cradle of humanity, not _because_ they are North Korean, but because that's what they have been told is the truth. To most of the _world_ , not just Europe, Egypt is one of the first major empires, because it *is* one of them, it is just not *the* first, and that was all you had say. To be honest, China is a fair bit younger than the New Kingdom, the Shang Dynasty, which was the first Empire on a par with Egypt was around 1600BCE, whereas Egypt were building pyramids about a 1000 years before that. Now, whilst there IS evidence of construction from 10,000 years ago in China, that information is from sources that are very difficult to verify independently, and almost certainly don't fit into the 'major empire' bracket. Politics is absolutely playing a role when China talks about archaeology, age is equated wisdom in many countries, so increasing age increases perceived wisdom. Indus valley was not a major empire, even though it is older than Egypt, though Sumeria certainly is older *and* a major Empire, so yes, you are correct there. Basically, I'd be _very_ careful about being certain regarding the age of empires, and I'd be even _more_ careful when assuming what people know based on where they are...

He could've created normal humans and repopulate easily. But he didn't. He stayed there, fought and didn't let humanity to die out even though he knew he gonna become a vegetable. Yes some his decision was bad but he had the responsibility and burden no human could carry, plus not enough time. He sacrificed his beloved custodians and many things he loved.

Hell Ra wasn’t even the most powerful custodian he was literally mid what makes him cool is how we told That he is an avrage custodian that is only special because of his humanity and determination that others lack. That is why he was beloved by the emperor. Him losing to Abby after wandering for a thousand years let alone 10 is a forgon confusion. Hell the eyes of the emperor kinda prove that custodians don’t last for ever and get slowed by time.

My theory is that The Emperor "Reprogrammed" Drach'nyen, perhaps imbuing it with a part of himself so that should it return to The Emperor he would get power boosted. And I believe Ra, or his spirit, purposefully guided Abaddon to it because last I remember Abaddon had to fight through hordes of daemons that really seemed to not want him to have it. And then Abaddon kept failing in those crusades all those times almost as if Chaos didn't want him to succeed (He's never ascended to Daemonhood despite doing so much even though others have ascended from less). But recent lore makes me more doubtful but I at least thought my idea was cool.

Not quite, except for himself and his own legion…imagine him being the second most powerful psyker in the Imperium, what happens if he remains loyal? Even if the traitors attack Terra a) Big E doesn’t have to sit on the golden throne all the time b) Malcador doesn’t need to sacrifice himself c) Magnus could’ve watched over the webway after Horus had been beaten But then again, to say “what if x happened, then y would be the ultimate consequence” is pretty arrogant, bc you don’t know whether Magnus fascination with the warp and his psychic powers might’ve led him to be corrupted later and shattering the webway later when mankind relied on it heavily. So nobody could say…

@@alexanderruckheim3870 i think the heresy just could not have happened if Magnus never ruined the web way, or not in that way and moment. BUT, you said something really true and clever. He was fascinated by the warp, so maybe during his "quarter" on the golden throne to survey and power up the web way, Tzeench could have spoke to him directly to the ear and grow more fascination to the warp and chaos, and corrupt him little by little. But also, the emperor would not have been really far or he probably would have sensed it, or at least some chaotic vibrations arround Magnus and sort that out himself, probably by cutting Magnus in two and taking the full time job. So many things that could have been sorted and avoided by a proper education and no secrets for Magnus, because he is the 2nd most powerfull psyker of the imperium, and psyker's powers are tied to the warp, inevitably he would sooner or later found out about the existence of the chaos gods and everything. If the emperor took the time to learn him what he knew, and treat him as equal in front of warp knowledge... so many bad things could have been avoided, and inflicted to the chaos gods themselves.

@@seijurohikko6382 Horus would’ve still betrayed the Emperor and since he’s the most charismatic and beloved by his brothers I reckon he’d have corrupted a lot of the other primarchs. You are right though about the Emperor. He could’ve been more open to his sons about Chaos and the fuckery of the Chaos gods. However the fact that he didn’t just goes to show that the Big E himself is flawed. But I believe even if he did, Horus, Perturabo, Fulgrim, Lorgar, Alpharius, Conrad and Mortarion would’ve still definitely rebelled, Angron most likely too. Magnus joined the traitors after Horus manipulated Leman Russ into burning Prospero. If Leman would not have been tricked, it could’ve been a different story. Another example is Alpharius, he seems an enigma to most. However he hated Guilliman and Guilliman is favoured by the Emperor and since Horus was the only one among the Primarchs to take an interest in Alpharius, Alpharius had no choice but to follow Horus. Here’s the thing though, and that was my main point. To say „what if“ is so misguided, bc apart from the immediate consequences we don’t know what could have happened further down the road. Like you said Tzeentch might’ve still corrupted Magnus, or another Chaos God could’ve gotten into any other primarchs head. Every Primarch has flaws to be capitalised on. That is what makes it so damn hard to predict, what would happen. I love WH40k lore cause it’s so damn close to our reality.. the way in which the characters act is an exact mirror of us human beings…no matter that they’ve been endowed with supernatural abilities. And that makes it so great in my eyes as it is, so no reason for what ifs

bro Ra would be a great dark souls boss. imagine wandering somwhere magical like the webways and suddenly out of nowhere from the eternal fog, a giant golden knight comes marching with a big demon sword impaled in him. and then he stops and just looks at you. then he attacks you because he can not risk it that somebody will take the sword. and he would do everything in absoulte quiet because his eternal quest goes on since thosands of years, with the sword impaled in him he lost his soul but he never forgot his duty to the emperor! his existence has become the duty of guarding the sword even if his soul died after thousands of years wandering alone and forgotten in time in the webway. woud be fucking epic to see this in a dark souls.
