For all his empty words to the contrary, the Emperor of Mankind doesn't share said loathing Evidently. He sends his saints out dressed as angels and hasn't once had them tell the troops that he isn't a god. How hard would it have been for him to have had Celestine or Macharius turn to the Troops at the conclusion of a battle and say "The Emperor is a man, The eccleasiarchy is a lie, and he commands that you stop worshiping him!" Its a good thing that the emperor's soul is fragmented throughout the warp, because if was all in one place his hypocrisy would collapse into a black hole under it's own weight.

I don’t think so. OI, and others have inferred that the atheism of the imperial truth was designed to “starve” the minions of chaos. And lorgar was the one who started the ball of ruination rolling.

@Tuberuser187 Ай бұрын

@@DorkimusMaximus-cc9xu Doesn't really work like that, a warp God like the Emperor needs worship to channel the emotional energy into them but the Dark Pantheon are sustained by basic emotion. Worship helps focus those emotions even more, someone being messily killed with an axe is meat and potatoes for Khorne but done by a follower, for the express intent of doing it for Khorne is the sweet desert. The main reason for Chaos Cultists and followers is how they go out and create the emotional energy by doing the things to create it, "worship" or knowledge of the being isnt necessary. Not even for the actual birthing of a Chaos God, Slaanesh was never worshiped for example but being the Emperor of Mankind isn't an emotional state that creates a psychic echo in the warp.

9:00 THIS is important: it was _neccessary_ to find a unique emotional space apart from the Ruinous Powers. What was left, given the circumstances of the Heresy, Siege, and Scouring, was Hate. This aligns with Emps being The Great Anathema to Choas. And considering the anti-theism of The Imperial Truth, it occurs to me that Games Workshop may have taken every _attribute_ of Malal they could get away with and mesh into the Emperor without getting sued by the owner of that particular IP.

Probably, conversation with Custodes for good measure. Also remember, how our author skilfully works as uncertain narrator (masterfully done in Ordo Sinister) - and here, this is gone, as Lord Reagant can provide accurate records.

@@piotrd.4850 While I agree that to cover it all in one go would be a bit much, I do think there is room for things to be spread out. I think we could expect a video on Ultramar around the same time as the Ultramarine Legion videos, given how intrinsically linked the two are, but everything else will have more in between. The Codex video probably won't come out for a good while. And I think doing a video on the Lord Regent himself would be an interesting change of pace for the Oculus, as he himself would note the irregularity of having an actual first-hand account from the Primarch himself.

It is a wonderful but bitter character arc that the more Oculus explores his reality, its nature and its history, the more cynical he becomes. His path will doubtlessly send him into deeper and deeper despair, but I would love to see whether he will push through the darkness and find something worth all his efforts at the end.

The Oculus, after getting depressed over studying the atrocities of the Horus Heresy and the Miserable Slaughters of the Siege of Vraks, deicides to try and cheer himself up by regaling the tales of the noble saints of the imperium. Now he’s researched himself into another existential crisis and is depressed all over again. Perhaps recounting the valiant deeds of the loyal legions during the Heresy might cheer him up…
