Wasnt it kitten?
MORE BANANA BOYS
Midnight upload, good on you. Doing the gods work
New theory: Ra's spirit now lives in the sword alongside Drach'nyen. Every time Abaddon is about to succeed, Ra's soul subtly sabotages him. This is why Abaddon is such a joke.
....I fucking love it. Ra just got sucked into the sword and evrey once in a while maniuplates it to fuck up abby. Would be cool to get confirmed
Hell yeah
Every once in a while Ra goes "lol nope" and Abbadon's arms fall off...
@@kilotun8316 that explains how Creed could throw down with him on Cadia
That's an even weaker excuse for the first twelve than the Pylons, but it would be neat for the thirteenth and/or any future endeavors
The only custodian he told all his plans for humanity to such a tragic fate i hope in the future they explain how abbadon took drach'nyen from this legendary Golden jailer.
Abby found it in a fortress in the Warp. The story would be how the sword got there.
I'm sure in book 3 of the black legion series it will be covered as the 2nd book ended just after the black legion escaped the eye during the first crusade.
When Failbbadon the Armless went to go grab the Sword of Cain, he only saw Ra Endymion's spirit; and he just ignored it. Like a failure.
Fairly certain it's Emprah's playing 17-D Hyper-Multi-Unilateral Game of Regicide and he simply told Ra to give it to Armlackdon
i like to think Zeentch has him jailed or that necron hoarder has him cubed
He became a winged dragon (some say golden chicken) and was summoned by a Prosperan sorcerer playing a children's card game. All the heretics he defeated were banished to the Realm of Ultramar.
Cannon….
Fuck that system
Seems Canon to me
And kitten one shotted him with a literal…kitten
@@ldavidtw2000 A wind up kitten, which also beat that nerd Tzeentch. There is just one opponent I fear would be too much for him, but the chances of facing him are so hilariously low as to be funny, hahahaha...... [BAZINGA]
(Still very sad GW made Alfabusa quit making such an amazing series)
FINALLY! I love Ra and his story. So well told to watch him remain steadfast and loyal.
Also. Master of Mankind is a phenomenal book. 10/10 would recommend
@@zacharymuzzy4092 what is mechanics version of primarch majorkill talked about ?
@@forspartaaa2348 so I can't remember the official name for it right now, but basically it was a member of the Mechanicum who had a map of the known webway downloaded to their consciousness, then were uploaded into a giant OP robot that was able to handle fighting multiple knights.
He accomplished his mission too, the sword ended up in the hands of Yabba-Dabba-Don, rather than someone competent.
@@KaiserAfini I personally would love Ra to return in the current setting along with Valdor (the king in yellow). The other Custode protag in this book was also really cool
Custodes are so fucking cool. Like astartes are bad ass and primarchs are dope but the fact the Big E keeps a whole fucking pack of these monsters around is just something else.
Imagine being a baseline human and seeing legendary spacemarines getting clapped and then one single custodes rocks up and turns the tide of a whole battle, and then you are lucky enough to find out there are tons of them out there.
And gives 10 times of fucks more than any of those since they're The Emprah's Art of biomancy
What’s even more amazing is they aren’t just bloodthirsty butchers, they’re warrior poets. They’re steeped in all the highest culture of humanity, they represent the peak of human potential.
@@aceofspadesguy4913 The emperor is the peak of human potential
Also they come with the bonus that they:
Aren't inhuman assholes
Become berserkers that even kills you
Don't have a kink for warcrimes
Even the servs who reload their guardian spears are basically bands of mortal hero’s raised from noble families.
I was actually making a Thousand Son's Loyalist Successor Chapter called "The Children of Endymion" Since his name is Ra and the Thousand Sons have a Egyptian type Motif.
Endyminions
A chapter based off of the "geneseed" of a legendary Custodian actually sounds very cool, regardless of how impossible it may be.
Do it
Sounds like some serious heresy to me... Better call the Inquisition
Ironic how the destroyer of empires was felled by the sun god of Terra’s first major empire. As if the gods of the ages before even the age of Terra wanted their revenge.
Well names do hold considerable power vs demons as far as i'm aware so this might be unironocally a tactical choice by the Big E himself.
Egypt ain't the first. Maybe to Europeans. But indus, Chinese, Mesopotamia are as old or older.
@@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...
@@CountingStars333 did anyone ask?
@@crispylizard4348 nope.. still the truth.
I'd rather Abbadon finds the blade in Ra's corpse other than beating him in a fight then taking it . I genuinely believe Ra is one of those individuals who would eat Abbadon for breakfast anytime .
I mean, he would undoubtedly wipe the floor with Abba`s ass easily under normal circumstances. But by the time they met Ra was running around the Webway impaled and somewhat posessed for probably millenia, definitely not seeing a lot of food, water, proper sleep and gear maintenance. It wouldn`t be an impossible fight for Abbadon.
@@iddqd-bp5yq if Abby does kill Ra, I will settle for nothing less than a book detailing that of an insanely long duel where Abby nearly dies several times.
-the same writer who had custodes getting one-shot killed by arlequins: "and that's how Ra became the first chaos custodes".
7:00 Drach'nyen was known as "The Echo of the First Murder" born from the cruel and senseless death of Abel by Cain's hand.
I wonder why that so impactful in the realms of chaos that it spawned that powerful a daemon it's not even close to the first murder in the grand scheme of 40K
Because they wanted to add another bible reference for the sake of it, lmao
@@jameslong7573 maybe because it was the first human murder and chaos knew humans would become very important to them
what is mechanics version of primarch majorkill talked about ?
Yea far far more important to his aspect that the end of empires
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.
Abbadon is such a weakling that his most powerful sword was gifted to him because it would cause less damage with him
@@heartlessnobody1143 Abbadon is 40k version of Thanquol. He survives not because of his plot armour, but because he is so incompetent in comparison to his potential successors that every other faction tries it's hardest to keep him as the main leader of Chaos, because that minimizes the damage.

I love that the Emperor's favorite Golden Boy was not the best (aka Valdor). Kinda makes a good parallel with Horus and Vulkan :)

Within less then 10 minutes of your video coming out nearly 2k people have already come to see your amazing content because we love your work and your videos "keep up the amazing work you Aussie gronk"
Whatever people say about emperor, i still really respects him. He could've taken his custodes, malcador and some human samples, flew out of galaxy and wait for big reset. 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.
I cannot say nothing, this guy said everything needed.
A great burden and that is why he is called, Big E
yeah i dont like how Nu lore only focuses on the Big E being a asshole and that he needed help from space karen to do anything
In his own hubris to try and cause the entire human race to turn atheist he led to Lorgar’s descent. After that, the Horus Heresy and his entombing upon the Golden Throne only to become a religious icon. Yet despite it all, he has suffered for 10,000 years to try and guide humanity despite it being so easily to quit.
my problem with the emperor is more a problem with the writters, hes clearly imperfect, but some of his mistakes are really stupid, how he treated angron for example, he wasnt too pragmatic, or too emotional, he was just straight up stupid with makes no sense
I’d like to imagine that by the time that Ra is found by Abbadon, he’s like Artorias of the Abyss.
All of the time spent fighting through the Webway and the horrific blade that he’s made to contain has been destroying him until he’s nothing more than a raging beast, but still maintaining his fierce loyalty to the Emperor.
Now we have Ra’s successor Kitten as the Emps new favorite custodian
Dude, that Macharius mini is one of the greatest minis I’ve ever seen. The text on the sword, the different choices between a living Saint statue or an actual character, the details in it all, fantastic work.
I'd love to know more about this mechanicus version primarch u speak of
Same!
Yeah, first time i have heard of that. I want to know more.
“The Archimandrite was an avatar of the Unmaker God a fusion of Hieronyma's brain with a weaponised chassis similar to that of a Domitar Class Robot created with forbidden lore from the Hexarchion Vaults. It included clawed feet, fists capable of crushing power armour with flamers in the wrists and shoulder-mounted Volkite and Avenger Bolt cannons. One hand also mounted a double-barrelled energy weapon that produced fusion beams, a rare gift from Arkhan Land”
@@wolflordgio6320a mutated transformer
“Abbadon killed Ra”
I’m certain Ra would slap Abbadon without a second thought
Pretty sure He could just slap his balls together and the splash wave of his massive balls would smash abbadon into oblivion 😂😂😂
Sorry I was wrong, he is pretty bad sass but still my point stands. Even unarmed and armored a primarc can kill most custodies. And Abby is confirmed to be Physically Horuses equal if not superior.
@@dennisbatye1932 Abbadon got his ass beat by an elf mage you don’t get sadder than that.And Ra is definitely not most Custodes.
@@dennisbatye1932Abaddon was struck by a fatal blow from 1,000 year old Sigismund post-heresy and only survived through warp fuckery, and one of the greatest Custodes is surely a match for Sigismund
Genuinely did not know about this character or narrative. Thank you for this information! The FW custodes captain model might be a good representation of Ra.
3:47 if only Rogal Dorn had been around to explain to the Emperor who the water cycle works.
I like to think that after stabbing Ra with the sword and giving him his final order, the Emperor would take a moment for quiet contemplation with the dead and dying all around him and the destruction of his hopes and dreams for humanity he would watch as Ra disapeared into the webway and he would think......RUN FORREST RUN!!!!!!!!!
“A bananaboy a day keeps the xenos away” - the Emperor (probably) 😂👍
He lived a glorious life but faced an epic end like the great heroes of Greek myth
I haven’t cried this much in a Majorkill video since the Lizardmen endtimes fix. This was beautiful
Off screen death, so he could come back.
Abbadon's victory is at hand, moments away from destroying the golden throne...
"Thanks for holding on to that for me while I finally took a power nap..."
Abbadon turns in terror...
Master of Mankind is one of my favourite novels, ADB set up the ending so well with Ra and his conversations with the Emperor. Will definitely be re-reading that some day soon
Yeah, gonna have to dig it out for a re-read now lol
@@donmongoose Best reading experience in my opinion is: Horus Rising-Flight of the Eisenstein, Fulgrim, A Thousand Sons, then Master of Mankind. I read those in that order when I started the series and highly recommend it, the novels flow seamlessly like that and make it feel satisfyingly intertwined.
There’s obviously other novels like the Mechanicum one you can read for backstory before Master of Mankind, but going from Magnus’ fall straight to that really made me feel the weight of the consequences of his actions.
@@kieranmcccccc995 Yeah that certainly sounds like it would make sense. I just read them in the order they came out in then randomly go back and read which ever. I think Legion is probably the one I've read the most, absolutely love that book.
@@donmongoose Legion is a masterpiece. I think, for me, nothing will ever top the subtle dread and tragic fall of the Luna Wolves in the first trilogy. But man, I finished Legion within a couple weeks because it was so incredible from start to finish I just couldn’t put it down.
@@kieranmcccccc995 True, I was almost disapointed that the series changed focus after the triology, the books all worked together so well despite being different authors. Didn't help I wanted to hit my head with a brick to forget reading Battle for the Abyss
"I got it off a golden guardian."
Ah, you mean you found Ra's unmoving corpse and pulled the sword out of it. Because I don't believe for a second that Abbadon could kill Ra.
Why not? Abby is literally superior to pre corruption Horus, just as how Luther as able to fight on par with the lion, the things Chaos dose to a mother fucker especially if they prove themselves worthy. 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.
@@dennisbatye1932 a custodian tribune must have earned 10 names and 3 great victories in order to qualify for the second highest post a custodian can achieve. Ra Endymion earned 871 names. he was the farthest thing from Mid
@@dennisbatye1932How is Abby superior to Horus? Lmao
@@colonelsanders1349 he not only beat clone Horus, but he has better war gear and more buffs than Luther and Luther was the lions equal.
Note I was saying that a baron should be stronger than pre corruption Horus not post corruption. Post Corruption Horus was just as strong if not stronger than the Emporor. That is a big power spike.
@@randyvowles4170 I’m sorry I wasn’t familiar with Ra’s game and I didn’t know that much about custodies lore. But in universe Abadom scales a good ways above most custodies, with only the likes of Valdor or Tragion being a match for him, if the custodies rejoining the setting has showed me anything they aren’t that far above the top tier space marines.
Thier tru strength lies in thier top tier war gear on average, however the highest tier space marines have just as good if not better war gear and are after 10 melenia of constant war and the primaris enhancements, the mariens of today are physically and mentally a different breed compared to thier 30k counterparts.
I’ve heard a theory that drach’nyen is sort of humanity’s Khain. It found out that if humanity were to die so would it so it “helps” the imperium, resulting in the only black crusade to succeed being the one that revives Guilliman. Probably not true but still interesting
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.
I kinda hope we get a video on "how would the Heresy have gone had Magnus not destroyed the Web Way project". I know it totally fucked the defense of Terra, but did it also totally change the time tables on the Traitor Legions invasion as well?
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
I will forever be on team "magnus did nothing wrong"
You know what majorkill I wanna thank you for getting me into Warhammer. Been binge reading the books and looking at getting my first few minis to try my hand at painting
This reminds me of the grey knight with the evil sword and he sits alone telling the sword “no” and or “shut up” as if he’s close to others it could try to corrupt them
Morale of the story: If Emps wants to tell you the whole story, start fucking running.
Man-Emperor of Mankind: "Ra Endymion! .... *Go for a walk."*
Master of Mankind. I have this book as an audiobook. It was really cool and conversations between the Emperor and Ra very really interesting.
The emperor after his precious water is taken . “AAH, you threw off my groove”
The emperor in his infinite wisdom:
'Mh. I have a sword in my hand that can permanently kill demons. Okay, maybe it won't work against this one cause he's weird. So I'd better come up with something. Oh I know, I'll transform him into an object so he can't break free. But what kind of object? A cube? A sphere? A rock? No, no, it has to be kewl. I know, I'll transform him into a sword so that when Chaos comes around and finds him, they'll have a really OP weapon to add to their plot armour.
I'm such a genius. No wonder all my plans work so well.'
It's more likely that the emperor bound it to the closest object he could get his hands on, which was a sword. Makes the most sense since there was a whole war happening in the webway at the time.
@@drkittyphd6205 Its not bound to the sword, it IS the sword.
@@drkittyphd6205 yeah, binding it to something would have been one thing (even then I'd prefer a demonic handguard over a sword) but he literally chose the shape.
To be fair, the Emperor is pretty much a colossal galactic fuck-up if you've noticed. Literally all of his plans went badly.
@@Salted_Fysh Heretic! Custodes, clap his tiny cheeks!!
A video about the role of the Mechanicus in the war for the webway would be awesome.
I don't think Abaddon could beat Ra even after drinking all the chaos kool-aid. I hope Ra went out in a way more badass way and Abaddon just picked up the sword later.
I think Ra would've gone down fighting against a tide of demons, before finally even the legendary powers of a custodes would fail him and he would be forced to fall by abbadon's hands, in addition to daemonic corruption running rampant through his body.
@@scorpiowarrior7841 They could play it like that, just says got it off a golden guy abadon could've embellished it and that guy could've been a long dead corpse.
Clearly he fought against the chaos gods themselves that killed him and left the sword for abbadon
Majorkill: "Another Custodes video!"
Me: "Truly the Emperor's blessings are bountiful"
Not gunna lie. This almost brought a tear to my eye. Excellent job in telling this story. Thank you
That was one of my favorite 40k books. I loved the insight into the Emperor with the flashback to his childhood in ancient Samaria. I wish there were more 40k books like this.
The biggest fucking daemon ever appears
Ra: 😐
Emperor: 😁
Ra: 😱😱😱😱😱
Love the recent uploading sir Majorkill!
Master of mankind is amazing… highly recommend the audiobook. The scene when big e shows up at the end is soooo bad ass
Drach'nyen didnt "Turn" Ra
Drach'nyen even says in master of mankind
"All the stars of the galaxy will die and wink from existence before a Single Golden one would turn from their master"
Refering to the Custodes
So yeah,
No
This was genuinely moving. A good story, well told.
The fact that this guy drinks FIREBALL explains soo much of what goes on during his videos.
... I can't believe I never thought of calling Ferrus "the Manus" before.
That last bit. I'm not crying you're crying.
Yo major. Can you do a video on drach’nyen please? I’ve heard about him but can’t find any info on him. And I trust that you’re a lot better at research than I am
I’d like to see a video about the awakening of our golden disabled battery. Like how, why and what are the hints the emperor is awakening
Can we get a video on the Mechanicus Primarch. It seems interesting I have never heard of it before.
“The Archimandrite was an avatar of the Unmaker God a fusion of Hieronyma's brain with a weaponised chassis similar to that of a Domitar Class Robot created with forbidden lore from the Hexarchion Vaults.

@@wolflordgio6320 damn that sounds awesome I need a video on that I’ll look in it and see if I can find some art but thanks man.
Someone needs to meme the Chad Emperor Surfing, thats too cool. I always wondered if he liked mundane stuff like that. Reading aside as i knew he was a huge nerd.
7:24
The what?!
The Mechanicus' version of a Primarch?
Ra Endymion is an absolute legend and I love him
Hey,i love your videos, could you make one about what factions/xenos/characters should made it to the tabletop?
That image....the emperor coming as the rising sun and allowing the souls of the fallen to reinforce his chosen custodes is a beautiful sight to imagine.....
I am one of those 1% that read the book and yea I did feel sorry for Ra at the end I still find the funny part is when Ra is reading a book and another custodes walks over and says interesting book your reading haha it was called " master of mankind" I must admit I buckled in laughter at that bit great vid my man keep it up 🤟
I know a lot about Warhammer lore because of this man
Mr. Ra "Run through the Webway for until I say so but now I can't" Endymion
Would love Majorkills take on an entire video featuring Orikan the Chad Diviner
"the emperor was a massive fan of watersports" ... that explains all the gold then
3:16 the second I heard Constantine Valdor I knew it was a wrap. Whoever that man's going for is a dead man walking
Lorgar “I’m the worst traitor primarch”
Magnus and Horus “Hold our beers”
Now.....now I feel bad.
Nice work Magnus
Implying Abaddon could kill Ra. He's still lost, wondering the webway.
Really bloody good book, highly recommended if you enjoy the emperor and chaos warpy stuffs
Ra’s conversations with big E are really some of my favorite shit in 40k
Can you do a video of what happened to the old gods of earth, I suspect the big e either killed them or they were merc'd by the chaos god/daemons.
Man you should do a whole video on the book Master of mankind it’s so good an answers a lot of question an issues people have about big E prior to the lore dumps in siege series
Its nice to see that the Emperor didn't actually want to send Ra to his fate.
OH I WILL NOT COMPLAIN, I LOVE Custodes videos hehehehe yay!
“Possessed the body of a Mechanicus primarch”.
…a Mechanicus W H A T
Just started my stodes army so I love this content
It would be cool if Ra became friends with the sword while running through the webway kinda like venom from the movie Venom
"This endless waste of existence...was Webway.
This was Ra Endymion's reality for... How many years?
Must be for centuries...
While Ra Endymion watching the seemless and hazy horizon, he focused to his steady and rapid steps again, like he did for centuries...
He must focus what he can command.
To every part of his formidable body. To his path. To his determination.
For his thougths are not familiar to him because of the constant battle that rages in his mind with Ra himself and The Sword. Yes, he knew what was this sword actually is. Yes he was choosing to call it The Sword. After many years, he learnt that even his mighty resolution was no match for the ferosity of The Sword's corrupting suggestions. So he came up with a defence mechanism by his own; focusing the material world and ignoring Teh Sword existence.
Cause whenever he tries to dive into his own mind; every single time, his decisions, memories and emotions were being stirred like a primordial soup of the cosmos. What he was doing against this inner threat, is to shut down and block the relevant parts of his mind like it has been thought to him.
Thought by... The Emperor.
Even though Ra wasn't eager to glimpse to his own memories and doing so was an essential part of his defence mechanism against The Sword; the allure which the memories about The Emperor are presenting was irrefutable.
So he remembered.
Just for a moment.
His crushing presence, his assuring company, his neverending wisdom, his blinding brilliance.
His last order.
By remembering The Emperor's last order to him, Endymion woke up from his poisonous thoughs whichwas clearly not his and focused to his steps.
One step after another. Always forward. Never slowing down, never staggering.
The bases of his auramite armor's boots were long gone because of the century long friction. Yet the custodian continued.
Until for the first time for centuries, he heard something."
So, should I continue guys?
Ya no cliffhanger allowed
@@kenrick5673 Cliffhanger?
Ra was vaguely remembering this word from the old tales of Terra. His memory and knowledge about old Terra was always formidable related to his bretheren. He would always win the weeks long story telling contests against his fellow wardens during their long guardianship duties on Mount Ararat.
But this place was hampering his judgement, his resolve for centuries; and now his memory.
Yes, the word was familiar.
But in this precarious moment on time, he was not sure of it's meaning or the reason why was he hearing it now, within this accursed waste of everchanging reality called Webway.
One the Sword's never ending tricks maybe?
At the moment he had remind the Sword, his mind shifted to the scenery that he saw centuries ago, at the peak of The War WithIn The Webway; Emperor grabing his shoulder like a father or a dear friend would... And thrusting the madness and darkness into his body as a sword.
The Sword.
The Shadow That Bleeds.
The Tear Drop That Never Dries.
The Prelude To Evil.
The Hope's Burial.
The Sword.
Must've been it. It should be an another seed from It's foul and cruel creation.
Ra always trusted his will. Cause it was the first thing which had been honed by the hand of the Emperor.
So he allowed his mind to linger on it for a short time.
Cliffhanger...

The Sword was piercing seemingly meaningless words into his mind again.
"Mad..."
Madness?
As a suggestion to his carved subconsicous?
Ra would never submit to such undiciplined state of mind. The Sword must've been aware of that by now after their centuries old companionship. Or their...battle of wits.
"Work"
As an act of livelihood?
Another meaningless spec of acture for the brutal sieve of his steel mind.
There was no work for a Custodes. There was only duty and companionship. With his brothers and with the Emperor. In the mind... And in the body.
Was the Sword losing it's imagination after all these years?
Not likely...
In their long years together on this bromous path, the Sword was managed to build kingdoms and destroy them in their shared, twisted realm of mind.
It was able to gave birth to countless silver-tongued fathers and mothers who would steal a thousand ocean. Then executed them.
It embraced Ra for numerous times with the Emperor's own voice and released him from his burden for thousand times, even though Ra kept running faster each time as the reply to these mischievous solacements.
No... It was not it.
Not likely for this accursed Sword to famble on it's cosmic malevolance.
"Read?"
Reading his mind?
That wouldn't work either.
What would It gain from knowing Ra's steadfast thoughts and intentions?
In the end, seeing a city sized meteor falling down on you wouldn't do any good towards your salvation woudl it?
Ra had his order once.
The order and the sight of that infinite wisdom in the Emperor's eyes were still bright enough to scorch any inconsistent thought pattern.
Run...
Nothing would stop him or hinder him from this sole existence of duty.
@@Mechronastamuth nice daily drip feed 🤤 cant wait to hear more.
I actually love the "Master of Mankinds" book, but I think most of us will as it allows us to actually see an converse with the Emperor, which is to few an far between. Also where's my plushy MK, its needed in my Van to cruise around😭😭
Drach'nyen: Ah it's a just a normal custodes not problem.
"Those were very famous last words."
Of the like 100 30k/40k books I've read or listened to, Master of Mankind is by far one of if not my favorite book of the entire Horus Heresy series, the moment The Emperor makes his appearance in the Webway the book goes from absolutely fucking perfect and amazing too pure giga Chad god status. So glad you covered Ra finally.
You should make a vid on the tanks of the emporium (like lieutenants and captains and first companies and stuff like that)
Oh yes, emperor's favourite custodian..... Kitten.
Ra and Valdor are such under rated characters cause of the Primarch's during the Heresy Era. Would love to get a Unification Wars series so we see more of Malcador, Valdor, Ra and the Thunder Warriors as well the early Astartes.
Read the book ages ago, and yes, Ra did get the short end of the stick. You know, just a bit.
video of non chaos aligned warp entities and magic would be pretty cool ngl
i’ve only ever heard offhand about a custodian being stabbed by a demon sword and the running into the warp, but holy crap i didn’t know this was the story this is actually really cool
Bro keep it up you actually make this more interesting an funnier then the rest of the Warhammer 40k UA-camrs
What's weird about you mentioning "Master of Mankind" is I was considering getting that on Audible... well, guess I'll take this as a sign from the Mighty Man-Emperor and purchase the damn book.
Can you talk about the mechanicus primarch?
A cool thing is this book goes to some length to paint the emperor as other than human (but still human in a way). It says he never speaks with his mouth, but his mind (big E says this himself).
But when he commanded Ra to run, it was with his own voice, not his mind. Thought that was a nice touch by the writer.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong I might be remembering it wrong.
Awesome minis, the alexander one looks like he could be a macharius in a IG army.
Names had power.. the emperor didn’t just name the custodians with god related names. Perhaps as a sign respect as well.
Man I who’s the lucky custodes who got to be names hades.
Somewhere a Techpriest is sobbing oil tears with a tissue box in his computer chair
Ferrus "The Fucking" Manus... fucking hilarious. this'll have me giggle for weeks
Thank you for telling us where the lore is from. Please do this more 🙌
I just had a thought. If Ra ends up being corrupted/enslaved or otherwise turned evil, he could possibly be the King in Yellow. I know currently the most likely identity for the King is Valdor, but I still think its a fun theory.
We all know Kitten is his favorite custodes.
I didn't know ADB was writing another Black Legion book, that's awesome!!!
