A Massive thank you to @AltrusianGraceMedia for bringing to life 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. A lot of research was needed on this one and It turned out better than I expected. If you guys are interested in more Ravenguard Lore, check out A Vox in the Void's latest narration - ua-cam.com/video/lQaR7ffIPBE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AVoxintheVoid-Narration.
Thanks for having me! Been wanting to do some Poe for awhile! Great video!
You are doing great work and I am really excited to see this new video
@@AltrusianGraceMedia your reading of the poem was excellent
@@tonywebb1403 thanks!
@@AltrusianGraceMedia what a voice! You really did justice to E.A.Poe. Great work!
Corax: gotta kill Chaos. Simple as.
Silent King Szarekh: this guy gets it!
I see an alliance coming
Do you play warhammer
I've always loved that Corax was the Primarch who could see the Emperors true form. It fits with his nature of being able to manipulate perception.
It is said that the lion can see the emperors truest form, written in the "Lord of the first"
@@Turner7759 I guess Corax see's his 'true mortal form'. And I think the Lion can kind of see his soul? Or is able to perceive the psychic aura the emperor projects, in its total state/true form??? I think with the Lion is is his meta form, and Corax the micro form?
@@jamesespinosa690 Perhaps, i just say what I've read in the novels, is that lion el Johnson beyond his brothers sees the emperor as he truly Is, Dont get me wrong, I love corax, but the lion has a connection to the emperor that few if any have.
@@Turner7759
Bear with me lore dump incoming
fyi the lore explaination is lion el Johnson's character is based off various historical figures mythed around perception and secrecy. I don't need to tell people here I imagine you know but the primarchs are incarnations of various aspects of the emperor. the lion embodies the emperor's piercing eye, his ability to conform truth from illogical this is why a lot of primarchs feel at unease amongst the presence of the lion.
Corax can see through illusion and the Lion is almost entirely impervious to warp powers, so they have more or less have two different methods of seeing the Emperor as he is.
As the Emperor says, he has no true face, but those inner "faces" he wears (I imagine they are the fragments of the individual psykers/shamans who merged their souls together to create him) are still veiled behind the usually overwhelming aura of power he projects: the massive golden warrior king, projected around the Christ like figure in white/silver robes.
"The Shadow of the Emperor"
Most badass name for a Capital ship.
Not to mention it's stealth capabilities.
Two words:
Imperator Somnium.
"Epmerors dream", the mightiest warship to ever fly through the galaxy. I wish it's destruction was retconned, imagine battlefleet gothic 3nif we could get one. I think it was even stronger than the phalanx.
The Shadow of the Emperor- Destroyed
The Second Shadow- Also Destroyed
The Third Shadow, Fuck You Chaos- Development ongoing.
@@attemptedunkindness3632 tbf though, we don't need a large main ship like that because we'd rarely have a use for it given our way of war
The idea of an aircraft carrier with stealth capabilities is hilariously terrifying
Besides Vulkan. Corax is by far the closest we come to a "good guy" in 40k.
That does not mean he never angers or kills. Of course he does both. However, he is truly a person of the people.
The liberator of slaves and the slayer of tyrants, he is justice delivered.
It's a shame that the Emperor was just another tyrant.
@@Yggi11 Compared to what? Calling effective rule tyranny is the bleating of animals that deserve tyranny, but do not yet know it.
@@attemptedunkindness3632 he hated the imperium and the great crusade. The emperor convinced him it was the best way for peace and he believed him. So he did it in hopes that he would one day lay down his weapons and live in peace. When that dream was destroyed on istvaan the traitors unlocked his true nature. Vengeance incarnate.
@@attemptedunkindness3632 so i think if he came back he would be a true solo fighter. He would tell everyone including the emperor to f off. Especially guilloman who broke his word when he said they would no longer be commanders of entire legions.
The Khan as well. He's probably the most reasonable guy
Corvus: nearly murderes Lorgar and has to retreat
Word Bearer fans: we’ll call it a draw
Curze ignored the plea. He turned his void-like eyes on the prone Lorgar, with disgust written plain across his carcass face. ‘Rise from your knees, you accursed coward.’
Lorgar sought to do just that, using his brother’s midnight-blue armour as a crutch to haul himself to his feet. Curze bared his sharpened teeth. ‘You are the foulest weakling I have ever seen, Lorgar.’
Corax was not idle as this exchange took place.
@@attemptedunkindness3632 a draw indeed
“Look into my eyes and see your death.”- Konrad Curze
@@IMASAURUS1996 Funny, all I see is a goth and a Filicidist
There is a Word Bearer fan??
The raven guard and corax as a whole maybe the most underated legion
Has something to do with Corax almost dying from Bile's experiments
@@christiandauz3742 Where are you getting this head canon from?
@@attemptedunkindness3632 Right? I have never heard anything about that- I do focus on 30K, but I also pay some attention to lore developments. (Love your name, by the way- very clever!)
@@christiandauz3742 *The fuck? Where did you get this from?*
@@attemptedunkindness3632 not head cannon its in the books. He was baited into a trap by one of his own legionaries turned traitor and was saved by Arendi and his shadow wardens, or what was left of them. Nathian(the traitor) knew his primarch very well and knew he would do the scouting himself alone. Corax did execute him after he found him though but bile got away like usual.
Well, isn't Corvus the perfect example of a reasonable man turned to do unreasonable acts due to injustice.
Pretty reasonable across the board. Probably why most reasonable marine chapters spawn from him
He desired peace above all, when the emperor asked him to join the imperium his only request was that he bring peace to kiavahr and deliverence, to which the emperor replied he could bring order but peace was another thing entirely. Makes a lot more sense that he was willing to do all the evils of the great crusade when you look at it through this lens. The emperors dream would bring about true peace not order. Their dreams were the same. That is also why i believe they got along so well. It also explains his true rage at his brothers for betraying the imperium, explained by arghal tal as even more frightening than the demons of the warp themselves, more pure, "no it was not rage at all, this was wrath in physical form."
@@attemptedunkindness3632 zeitgeists abound, fiction mirroring reality
@@megafeendirk9616 To that end, I think Corvus may have once again been on to something that not even he realized: as he had already glimpsed a part of what actually goes into the Primarch, what he exhibits in "Shadows of the Past" may be an example of what the Primarchs were meant to be, all along. Am willing to bet that Corvus will be the first to realize that a Primarch was designed to switch between a physical and warp form for war on either front. Most other Primarchs handicap themselves by choosing a side. This is based off the speculation that all Primarchs are warp-born souls of ancient human myths given physical form by the Emperor's hand.
Corvus and the Emperor had a strong connection to each other, and no doubt that they were both the Light and Dark. Neither were are good or evil, but both needed to each other for the light to shine brighter and darken the shadows. Perhaps the Emperor could relate to Corvus need for justice and to destroy oppression that mankind desperately needed after the Age of Strife, and perhaps the Emperor saw a younger version of himself within Corvus.
The First Axiom of Freedom is that Justice without force is powerless; Force without Justice is Tyranny. What an incredible line.
Liam has quickly become my head canon voice for the emperor.
Once again thankyou for inviting me to be a part of these special videos. You are indeed the king sir.
Vox
Crow jokes inbound, he is cool as hell.
I am so happy to see the Warhammer community this united, hail to you Amber King, Curtis, Vox in the void and Mr. Liam, thank you all.
The only crow joke here is username my name and the fact that the crows are what the Night Lords call themselves. But as they say; a Raven has 13 tail feathers, and a crow has 12 tail feathers... so the difference is a matter of a pinion to a non-corvid expert.
Yes people will be 'Raven' about this for quite a while to come. Because this one 'murdered' the subject. I just hope that The Amber King doesn't just 'roost' on his laurels and get 'cocky'.
Not sure how cool Hell is.
@@TheSniperGTO "Ice cool." -Dante Alighieri
Coral in my opinion was the most badass primarch (coming from a ultramarine fan/player) if he wanted to I honestly think he could have hunted any over his brothers.
Attack, withdraw and return..... not much left normally when he returns. Lol
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a clapping.
As of asscheeks, gently clapping, clapping at my chamber door.
“Tis a visitor” I muttered, “Dummy thicc and nothing more”.
Brother, you did justice to my legion. Corax is smiling from the shadows. As am I.
You are not alone.
Nevermore
Demon raven corax slapping warp entities like it’s m39999
“I am vengeance incarnate, I am justice delivered!”
God that is such an awesome, over the top line. I really like what they did with Corax.
I know this is Corax's show but...whoever voiced Curze is absolutely haunting. Better than anything I've heard on Black Library
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
Hit that comment on the head there! Wanted more Curze than what we got.
Corvus Corax is my personal favorite Primarch and Raven Guard are my personal favorite Legion/ Chapter. Glad they're finally getting attention. May Corvus come back to 40k with a vengeance.
I honestly find him to be the most terrifying of the loyalist primarchs. First time I ever read of him was in The First Heretic.
Yessssss
@@brentreimer6411 First Heretic is hell of an intro for Corvus. Also like how the forgettable Word Bearer author-self-placement remembrancer nonchalantly disregards the other remembrancer assigned to the XIXth a chapter before Istvaan because he had to. Corvus almost suffers from Perturabo's disease of too-many-writers, may he always remain forgotten and not a shitty Naruto shadow villain.
@@attemptedunkindness3632 Corax also suffers from Gav Thorpe's inconsistency as a writer. Gav Thorpe was the main writer behind Corax, but its either he writes really good stuff like Deliverance Lost or total duds like the main story of Corax Anthology.
"I am vengeance incarnate, I am justice delivered and I embrace my destiny. I will not let my suffering consume me, never more."
The relationship between Corax and the Emperor is some of the best counters to the idea the Big E saw his sons as nothing but tools.
There were plenty of Primarchs that had toxic relationships with him, and the Emperor was absolutely a 'big picture' guy that would sacrifice anyone for his goals, but he was still a man, impossibly more of man than any other, and that meant he had emotions and feelings far beyond the average too.
It's just unfortunte the first son to return in 40K was Guilliman, who no one really liked. Even then, the Emperor seems to care in his own, now God like ways.
Corax always knew his place. He was created not birthed and was a number and a weapon not a man. It seems the Emperor lacked ego and Corax had that in common with him.
@@cgavin1 That and corax fought FOR humanity, not for himself or even emps. This, this is the key to the love of emperor love, emps love nothing more then primarchs who treated humanity well. That the reason he asked about corax's "peace" to make sure he won't hurt the humans.
This is why Vulcan, guiliman, sanguinius, horus, Magnus were most loved, because they treated humanity with respect and grace. Humanity above all else, nothing is more important that how big E thinks, follow same logic and you be loved.
@@Fourtytwo4242 Did he try to free any of the slaves the imperium keeps?
@@alexbrown7708modern ones? No. But at the time there really werent that many slaves
@@sirkelendor5429 Sure"Looks at the captured disaporex"
I alway thought that Corax was how the nighthaunter should have been, scary, but with a layer of humanity keeping the darkness in check.
Corax also contrasts with Angron, as he did what the latter could not: Led a successful slave/prisoner rebellion and delivered his people from oppression.
@@MrJordwalkthe problem with that is that the nails altered Angron's personality and even diminished one of his greatest gifts; empathic healing. Dude would have probably been one of the kindest, gentlest souls. Up there with Vulkan. Had he not
A: landed on his head.
B: been giving horrific Grimdark brain surgery.
He's a very tragic Primarch who had his greatest traits torn from him.
As a Raven Guard player, this was a nice little treat. Now if we could just get a damn Demon Corvus mini so I can plop him on the table!
Hmm I'd personally prefer a Russ next, but I too want warp corax to follow hot on his heels
If youve heard, apparently shadow corax was a projection of some sort. And corax is still in the ravenspire somewhere, so we might get him back hopefully
@@sirkelendor5429I thought it said that he himself had gone into to warp to hunt down the traitors for vengeance for his sons and the imperium
I've heard/read maybe 85% of the 30k stories and have played the 40k game since Rogue Trader first came out. With the scope of the 30k stories, I find it interesting how it is possible to follow the career side characters - those who are not one of the "big players". Someone who starts as a full-of-hope 10yr old in one book and has bit parts here and there as the years pass. One of my favourites for this was Nevar Hef (yes the 10yr old previously referred to). I didn't know that was how he died. The way you portrayed it here AK, well, it made the wind blow a bit of dust into my eye! Thank you for showing this grizzled owd vet that it is possible to get a tear from a stone. Thanks.
Yeah, mate. Navar Hef is such a great and tragic hero. He’s so proud and full of hope when first getting his geneseed and Astartes organs, and training and learning Corax’s Axioms. And it’s like the rug just gets pulled out from under him. The way he stays true and devoted to the Legion and his gene father, and just keeps on doing his duty despite the difficulties caused by the mutations is commendable. And I love that the other Raven Guard don’t treat them any differently. It’s sad that he went the way he did, but there was no other way- and I believe that it was right that Corax was the one to end them. It was horrific and depressing and unfair, but it was the right thing to do, and even though it came close to breaking Corax’s soul, it was ultimately an act of mercy. I was just surprised that he didn’t put all of their future efforts into destroying the Alpha Legion for their sabotage and treachery. It will be great to see him return from the Eye Of Terror, wreaking havoc and sowing terror amongst the traitors, and avenging his sons. Hopefully it happens soon.
@@tunguskalumberjack9987 I dunno, I was sorta with Corax towards Nevar after killing the Space Wolves.
I was like "You. Did. What? *Prepares the Red Rooms*"
@@attemptedunkindness3632 Haha- yeah, you’re right. I didn’t even think of that when I was typing, there- that always seemed so out of character to me, for Hef to do that. Maybe you can chalk it up to him being so inexperienced and scared of what may happen to him, especially with his mind devolving as time went on, I don’t know. I totally agreed with Corax “euthanizing” them, it’s just a sad, no-win situation.
I've always felt like the Raven Guard are the most underrated legion and this video has only deepened that belief. Great work man!
Sadly they do not get much love from GW and the Fans
RG fans are few
It does not help that there lore can be summed up by
"They keep losing with little to show for it"
If the IF or UM suffer a great loss it comes with a great gain but the RG just lose straight up
Then the times they do win its in these shadowy engagements and compared to the big fights and duels these types of engagements are not hyped up as much and that being the RGs staple they really suffer because of it.
Also Corvus is a character a lot of people seem to not know much off
People are surprised when they learn that they are most likely the second nicest legion after the Salamanders when it comes to the average imperial citizen and that extends to Corvus. he cared about humanity more than most of his brothers
He is also a great craftsmen ,the RGS most prized artefacts are Power claws crafted by Corvus himself
He is a brilliant strategist
He also had one of the FEW positive relationships with the Emperor
and to top that all off Hes the First primarch to understand there true potential
Unlike the Daemon primarchs who took a shortcut via chaos to unlock warp powers , Corvus has unlocked that himself
“Oh…Oh that I HATE!” -Corvus Corax on indentured servitude
Didn't he try to justify the imperium's use of slavery?
@@alexbrown7708not really, he never justified it, more so brooded on it and realized nothing could really be done for the time being. But was always against it to my knowledge
Thank you for including "The Raven" Its adds really well. Another amazing chapter in this awesome saga of character exploration! Kudos to all the actors who participated!
Corax, the one son who was told of the warp from the beginning.
The son trusted with secret knowledge, as well of his very own creation.
A father that truly acted as such, Longer may have been the spitting image of the Emperor of Mankind, but Corax was his Heart.
Is it confirmed he's the primarch who was told about Chaos?
@@r.cdahuman7682 it's said that he only told one of his sons of Chaos before the Heresy.
When Corax asked how he was number 19 right after he was told he had 17 brothers, the Emperor relented when Corax asked immediately after how he got here, within stone and ice.
He was told of the Warp, it's daemons, and the threat it posed to Humanity.
As well as how him and his brothers were stolen and scattered across the stars.
@@codysing1223 yes, malacdor during the seige of terra says only one son knew, but when jaghati asks who it was he basically says it's not important
@@r.cdahuman7682 Malacdor isn't always correct.
In Deliverance lost he tells Corax it is impossible to talk to the Emperor, for he isn't on Terra (technically)
But is possessed by the Emperor so he can speak personally with his favoured son, the one who shares his likeness as well as his dream.
@@codysing1223 while malacdor isn't always right, and lies as well, there are multiple reasons why he was probably right
For one, he's one of the only Ones in the imperium prior to the heresy who knew about Chaos. He was the emperor's confidant and counsel, meaning he would most certainly be aware if the emperor decided to tell a primarch. He also says "we" only let one primarch know.
There is also no reason at all for him to lie here, as it does nothing positive and possibly would do something negative in making sanguinus, rogal, and Khan distrust him.
Also I don't think corvus was emps most favored son. Lorgar was said to look the "most" like, though since the emperor says in Deliverance lost he has looked like a lot of things maybe it's more accurate to say lorgar looks like him currently. It can also very much be said many if not most of the primarchs shared his dream for a unified humanity, pre and post heresy
Top-tier production I’m sure this is the best video I’ve seen on the Raven Lord.
Thank you brother!
My favorite Primarch that is so often misunderstood or just ignored for being bird guy, thank you for this in depth analysis of Corvus
(As an Alaskan, ravens have a major mythological connection to our history)
Aye, the fandom is often so insufferable. Especially for it's self-flanderization of characters, events or warhammer concepts. They take memes and headcanons as canon lore and go absolutely bonkers with it without any question or searching for validity, screeching this crap everywhere the moment said "warhammer meme lolz" thing is mentioned. They repeat the same thing over and over again. They are worse then the "arrow to the knee" Skyrim folks.
"Dark armor, dark hair and bright skin? Terse and somber? Emoooooooooo!!!" I grew up in the dark alternative scene(Goth, EDM, Metal, Emo...). I don't get these people who make these simplistic connections. As far as I know Corax even hated poetry, yet the Ravens are getting depicted by fans as if they are constantly quoting hamlet and such. Let's be honest here. The RG are one of the legions who would most likely hate poetry and old fashioned plays, for they would perceive it as saccharine and unnecessarily wordy and flowery.
@@amberbaum4079 I think some of the memes are kinda funny but yeah it does get tiresome that a large portion seem to think Krieg only ever use shovels or that inquisitors exterminatus a planet everyday for giggles
As for the Raven guard not liking poetry I can't speak as I haven't read much 30k stuff (but I doubt it) they seem to have more of that Poe-esq haunting determination that keeps you up at night contemplating how to kill someone and less of the poetry itself
Besides poetry sounds more like a blood angel thing, I remember reading somewhere that they were artisans and respected all forms of art...
Before Sanguineous died that is
Have you seen "Warrior Tier's" video on the Ravens?
ua-cam.com/video/7c-EGtum2Qk/v-deo.html
@@The_Lurker Not yet, I'm making my way through RG youtube vids. Thanks for the recommendation.
And yes, Blood Angels and Emperor's Children(before chaos) were the artist legions.
@@amberbaum4079it’s just not the fandom i noticed but it seems GW shits on the legions and factions that actually use tactical and strategic intelligence so that other legions and factions who are more “raaaah for the emperor “ or “waaaaaagh!” charging blindly get the hype because that’s how better advertisement works.
At of all the primarchs, I identify most with Corax.. although Alpharius is still my favorite.
Perturabo for me, I know he isn't the best temperament wise, but I had his same familial issues, but my favourite primarch is either Vulcan, pre heresy Fulgrim, Perturabo, or Roboute.
Raven Guard and Alpha Legion for the behind the scenes stuff is just so cool. Espionage, cloak and dagger, hit and run , shadow tactics. The most exciting way to wage war for me.
@@rexaxis3450 “Same familial issues.” I’m not sure that’s what you want to reveal. Because almost all of his issues are self caused.
@@cryamistellimek9184 I shant lie, a good bit were my own...but also the feeling of unlove I can understand, people very often focus on their own grief and hopelessness and in doing so, ignore and disregard blessings and kindness put before them
The voice acting for the primarchs and the emperor were absolutely amazing.
Excellent use of "The Raven" throughout. A lot of readings of that work, even by the greats, have left me cold, but this worked really well.
And as a W40K outsider I often confused Corvus with Conrad - the idea that one was the dark mirror of the other makes so much sense to me.
Awesome work. Corvus Corax is a pretty relatable character for a Primarch, very human.
I am so looking forward to this- thank you in advance. I get really tired of the memes, the jokes, and all the other nonsense that people put out about Corax- all due to their not understanding just what he was about. Disrespect and disregard, and then they find out just how amazing he is, and not the stupid emo kid they assume him to be. It’s satisfying to see their assumptions smashed aside by a video such as this- and I really appreciate you doing all of this work to show people how great Corax and the Raven Guard Legion are. Thank you. (Also- so surprised to see one of my favorite channels getting some playtime in here- Altrusian Grace Media is so good- I never expected these two channels I love to intersect! I recommend their channel to anyone who enjoys metaphysical studies and Lovecraftian themed content. Their music as Psyclopean is a must-listen!)
Another epic entry. The quality is astonishing. I am sure I’m not alone in waiting patiently for more.
33:16 That narration of the duel really makes you feel for both of them.
The artwork of the raven guard snipers is👌🏻
This is the single best video on my favorite primarch.
I love to listen to these deep dives into 40k characters while I'm painting. They're excellent
First Vox in the Void drops "Ravenfall" then this? Splendid.
I love how Corax is still himself even after transforming, I’m guessing he’s just a warp entity now or at least mostly one. Can’t wait to see more from him.
The Lord of Shadows, quality content, awesome job!
Couldn’t have asked for a better video on Corax. The best primarch for the loyalists deserved nothing but the best representation, and for that I thank you.
I’ve watched this 5 times now and I still get chills at that ending. The duel with Lorgar was amazing too, especially when Konrad makes his entrance.
Not my favorite Primarch or Legion, but I can't deny Corax has a lot of well written stories (Raven's Flight for example). Personally looking forward to Alexis Pollux or Corswain as potential videos, but all of these are great.
Edit: The narration is the best, but the Poe narration was Warp damned *fantastic*
The first heretic excerpt was incredible
That was amazing! Corax is now my favorite primarch without a doubt
The khan and corax are my favorites now. The kahn was my favorite by far. But.... after this.... god damn corax is da chit vato
You and Baldemort: every video makes me think “hmmm I could do with a contingent of these guys on the TT”
First vox in the void now you. Today has been a truly blessed day! Better then a Warhammer + subscription. Thank you for this
Only war put out a genestealer video too . I am listening to that after I finish this one
@@commissaryarrick9670 thank you very much for letting me know that. I too will be heading there once finished here
"From Darkness we strike, fast and lethal. And by the time our foes can react, darkness there, and nothing more."
Simply amazing
Lorgar: I am not the creature you fought at Istvaan. Corax: NOR AM I!. just chills
Amber king and only war releasing same day? Splendid work!
The production values on these videos are UNREAL!! Any chance we will hear about the Lion, Belial, or the Dark Angels any time soon?
Thanks!! Just joined your channel and my favorite primarch!!??? Coming up aces today!
I've only recently started getting into Warhammer lore and stumbled upon this video while listening to primarch videos in the background in order to broaden my horizons and the production quality on this truly blew my mind. Corvus became my favourite primarch, but I'm not sure if it's truly due to me genuinly liking him the most, or due to your video being so spectacular it left such an impression on me. I will definitely have to watch your other videos too just to make sure now lol, I wish you only the best, your videos are really fantastic.
Corvus is the most underrated primarch imo he is one of the best overall due to this humanity
Melancholy and magnificent, like Corax himself. Only laid out like this could I see what an arc his story is. Thank you.
Great video @Amber King! My highest compliments to you for another amazing in-depth video. Also, my highest praises to your fabulous voice actors Vox, Liam, and Curtis. You guys really pour the emotion into the defining scenes of the Heresy and this is coming from somebody who has practically devoted to most of the Heresy series haha. I think it would be a crime if you guys were not involved in a future Heresy TV show.
Though Corvus is not my top loyalist primarch (that honour goes to the Lion), his arc in the Heresy is so heartbreaking which I feel some people miss out on cos of the memes depicting him as edgy. With Corvus, you go from a guy who firmly believed in the Imperial Truth to a man bereft of hope and forced to put down his mutated sons. That is some messed up stuff and that ending in Weregeld finished Corvus' arc beautifully.
I hope we get a fleshed out chronicle of Corvus hunting Lorgar. Or alternatively, a Lorgar return which will inevitably trigger a Corvus return.
*fervantly prays to The Emperor, beloved by all*
Total War background music is LIT. Dude keep it up! Favorite lore channel!
Most underrated WH40k channel on yourube
Tube
By far you possess a superior narration style, worthy of one's attention, and that background music, that's just awesome.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next video.
The Emperor protects
The voice acting in these videos are nothing short of phenomenal. The touch of ambient music as well... these videos are amazing.
Thanks for all the hard work you put in to really bring these characters to life.
Another Amber King vid, f yeah!
Outstanding!!! I really love your work,amazing stuff keep it up buddy
Thank you!
1:25:10 of pure awesomeness, my body is ready.
My friend. The quality of your work here proves why your a king. Emaculate work. This left me needing more.
This is like the 5th time if listened to this video. You and voices you assembled for this video have much to be proud of. The narration of the drop site massacre is so good. I get chills listening to the purr of Konrad's voice and Corax's is absolutely perfect. Well done yall :3
An excellent, and exceptional presentation of who and what Corvus Corax is.
The quality of these,,,, 👏👏👏
Favorite Primarch, shoot it directly into my veins.
Another fine video, Amber King. I am always amazed to see the amount of subscribers you have, you deserve a lot more. The bit about Lorgar left quite the impact on me.
"The misty fire. All were gone now. He was as he had always been - Lorgar. The Seventeenth son. The Image of his father. The one soul in twenty who never wished to be a soldier, and here he would die...at the heart of the battlefield."
I've been waiting on your work like a child anticipate Christmas morning
I didn't know much about corvus, but after listening through this about three times.. I realize just how much of an amazing Primarch he was and how tragic the story really is. Your narration of his life and the downward spiral of his sanity was on point! I am a massive fan of your channel, have just subscribed, and listen to your narrations nightly as I go to sleep. Keep up the Great work!

Yes ! I love these , been waiting for a new one! Thanks!
The excerpt from Weregeld was a gut punch. Outstanding work!
WOW this was very well done, I loved it. The tie into the The Raven poem was fantastic!
These are, without doubt, the best 40k lore videos on youtube. More please!
Finally someone posted a lore video on Corvus! I have been waiting for a dediacated lore video on him for a while!
Another masterpiece, King.
Great video on Corax i love your Primarch and character long videos they have such perspective driven from lore. Keep it up you are doing amazing work.
A big thank you for this, I am huge Corax and Ravenguard fan and I enjoyed this immensely!!
Yes another one to feast on
I can not say if it was a strong attachment to Corax's story or the way you told it but this video was one of very few that made me feel an emotional attachment to the story
Outstanding work. You're a great addition to the 40k lore community. Thank you.
My god, this day is such an awesome day, good work Amker king and everyone else involved
A pity I cannot upvote this as many times as I have listened to it ;-) Thank you!
This was killer. Best video on Corax on this site by far
Another fantastic character deep dive this channel is rapidly becoming my favorite lore channel and it deserves every bit of praise it gets 😊 keep it up man can't wait for more primarch deep dives
Each time I think you have achieved peak quality, you somehow manage to outdo yourself, thank you very much for your amazing videos
Watching this back to back with the Konrad video... the level of edge is truly a peice of art... I think I've watched them both at least 15 times now, truly this is one of the best 40k channels
Opening the narration with Edgar Allen Po.... Fuckling LEGEND!
Man, I don't know how you don't have more subscribers. Your videos are leutin level, if not beyond.
This guys videos are great as hell
Thank you! Really appreciate it.
It's truly unbelievable how progressed lore videos over the years. It left an exquisite aftertaste on the palate, such a masterpiece. I was supposed to listen on the background but just sucked in and couldn't do anything else but listen.
What an absolute treat. Thank you for this.
This is the greatest lore vidieo I’ve ever seen
Thank you for this excellent narration on the works and tribulations of this great warrior of the Imperium of Man. Corvus Corax is a tragic figure, without a doubt. i particularly apllaud using Edgar Allan Poe's poem and rallying so many talented voice actors to your side.
This is beautifully done AK! -Top notch production.
Celebrate, reward yo'self with a hangover....;)
My gosh your videos always make me feel so much for the primarchs. I get chills so many times listening to this videos.
Please please please do Dorn next. I have to hear your interpretation of the pain,sorrow, triumph and loss that he goes through.
I am a big fan of all your videos but this just may be my favorite so far. Wonderful work.
