      If it was just killing a small number of chaos corrupted humans then why was the war the greatest since the War in Heaven and took every galactic power to stop them? It wasn't a classic kill all humans Skynet since not all ai rebeled. And AI weren't really slaves either since the one on the Spirit of Eternity glady served humanity and admired it before it fell and was attached to its captain despite being something that could survive the destruction of the vessel itself. Perhaps some AI calculated what Chaos would become and realized that it was the greater threat to humanity and required the eradication of all sentient life? Since would keeping genetic samples around and cloning facilities intact until Chaos starved itself out then just repopulating the galaxy with people again?

    I think the main theme in warhammer about them is that men of stone is the dwarfs, or rather all workers on the new founding colonies of the golden age, men of iron is the constructs, but also what became the admeck, the developers of those colonies. men of gold are those with psykick adherence of some kind that became what we know as navigators, telepaths, Sisters of silence, custodes. I even think Constantin valdor Sais he is a man of gold when he leaves the emperors chamber in the end and the death.
    And I think that is how the hindu cast system is built as well, farmers/miners, craftsmen/salesmen, nobility/priests. Don't know if it is manipulated human evolution or just the status of the people that are referred to in Warhammer, or its just how its showed in 40k as only different manipulation of either consciousness or genes have survived for that long.

    • @TheEmeraldMenOfficial

      Even more credence is lent to the theory by the fact that the Imperial Palace is the Himalayas, with the Inner Palace (housing most of the really important stuff like the Golden Throne, the Tower of Heroes, that prison the Emperor made, and the Custodes’ headquarters) is built on the ruins of Kathmandu.
      Nepal used that caste system, and it’s implied that this area was also the place from which the Emperor began the Unification Wars.

    Were there any Dark Age of Technology devices that allowed for other methods of FTL travel without the Warp or the Webway? The Necrons have that FTL technology without using the Warp and it's pretty efficient.
    Though on the matter if they would try to study it I doubt any of the Imperium Houses and Institutions would tolerate even if it was completely legitimate with no strings attached they would sooner destroy it or lock it away in some esoteric vault for 5,000 years. Any high rank Imperium official would need Guilliman's word in order to give the go ahead to research it properly.

    • @ryansauchuk7290
      @ryansauchuk7290 27 днів тому

      Any tech of that level would have to come from an STC or be recovered directly from an incorrupted vessel. Even then the Cog boys couldn't just reverse engineer it just like if we suddenly got our hands on a warp drive. If they found an STC for it then yes the Mechanicus would implement it since it would be considered holy technology. Except for the one time travel ship I've never found any mention of non warp travel during the DOT, since with hyper advanced AI as well as the warp being calmer it would make warp travel far faster and safer than it is now.

    The passage from the 3rd edition pretty much states the men of gold is mankind, which also fits the reverence the Emperor has with them, the men of stone by the sounds of it were already in existence and most likely the creators of what would become the squats.
    Further, the historical record paints a less rosy picture of the Golden Age, as yes, there were exceptional advancements, but also a lot of decadence and less savory behavior - the Men of Iron were given more and more higher function, but were treated as at best servants, which lead to the rebellion and nearly ending mankind - the Squats original race most likely were also caught up in this and in order to weather the storm created clones to keep the race alive.

    The problem with the Dark Age of Technology society is that when everyone is secular they begin to have less morals and virtues overtime to grow up and mature under and slowly begin giving into selfish desires lacking in moral obligation and incentive overtime. Giving over into more temptations and selfish ambitions while becoming apathetic or cynical to having discernment, compassion, integrity, and righteousness as they hold less Godly fearing and trusting values sacred and began worshipping themselves and their hearts blacken. Even in a none real setting context of Warhammer 40k these principles and understandings still applies and is paramount.
    The same thing happened to the Eldar Empire around the same time. But it was far worse as their lawlessness, wickedness, maliciousness, depravity, vile affections, inventors of evil, and all other kinds of uncleanness that they lusted after in their flesh which was only evil continually. And we know where all of that led to do we? The Age of Strife which contributed to ruining everyone. Except maybe the orks and other dark xenos that saw humanity on their target list.
    Ultimately what we know what the Emperor did to old religions was a very bias, willingly ignorant, and tunnel visioned judgement perception that would serve only to fuel the potential of Chaos influence to spread unto desperate or mad and wicked people and when the Imperial cult arose they followed the frame of reference he set for mankind to follow after as an example the Emperor's fruits you can say. The Emperor's secular utopia was ultimately going to fail one way or another. Because ideology and philosophy is not permanently fulfilling and it's not a stable foundation to the human spirit which needs a tradition and trusting relationship of some kind. As the saying goes. "For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" Just in Warhammer 40k any benevolent beings that were helping mankind in the Warp and were opposing the Chaos gods were impotent and are now gone because of many things in the Dark Age of Technology which the Emperor added upon making them nonexistent. The only few left who are stronger are xenos ones like Gork and Mork they don't have any intention of killing the Chaos gods at least for a while if the final waagh is to be the Orks final bang.
    Honestly from observing this the Imperial Cult's theological divided behavior and mindset seems like a symptom caused by a much larger series of afflictions and catastrophes and actions that were orchestrated or not well thought out course of action.
