    Erebus is such a great character, and this short story from his POV is the ultimate ‘haters gonna hate.’ I love how completely uninterested he is in justifying or explaining himself, and he does it all with a smug grin on his face. He’s all like, “Oh, you wanted to know my real name and secret tragic backstory that explains and justifies everything I’ve done? F*** you, that’s what.”
    And no matter how much you hate him, Erebus is right about at least one thing: he’s been 100% committed to his cause from the start, and he doesn't give a single flying f*** about what anybody thinks of him-while having no illusions about any of it.

    Relistening to this, and have just realised what an advantage it is to Erebus that his true name is not known (or even suspected). True names have enormous significance in sorcery and daemonology... No doubt many attempts to curse him have failed for this reason over the millenia!

    Does anyone know who the little girl in the story is? The one Erebus meets in the ancient temple. Is she mentioned anywhere else in the lore? I feel like she is important somehow.

    Someone did a great audiobook of the Kharn vs Erebus fight, but I can't find it anymore, It seems the channel has gone, anyone got any idea's? The guy in the channel was American and last time I saw his channel he was working on a 40k fan fiction.

    1:35 Is this Erebus saying "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." ?

    So the memes are TRUE! EREBUS DID NOTHING WRONG because Erebus isnt Erebus! Also why the hell arnt you reading for BL audible books?? Your voice is great for it imo.

    This story is basicly Erebus going full Richard the third:
    What do I fear? Myself? There’s none else by.
    Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I.
    Is there a murderer here? No. Yes, I am.
    Then fly! What, from myself? Great reason. Why:
    Lest I revenge. Myself upon myself?
    Alack, I love myself. Wherefore? For any good
    That I myself have done unto myself?
    O no, alas, I rather hate myself
    For hateful deeds committed by myself.
    I am a villain.

    This made me love the Word Bearers way more. Erebus is such an evil bastard.
