    The High Lords of Terra are the 12 most important people in the entire Imperium.
    They sit on a council that decides the fates of the near infinite souls that make up the Imperium of Mankind.
    But they are an extraordinary group of individuals, a reflection of the times they live in, the reality of the empire they rule.

    Fun fact: Before Guilliman made his comeback, all 12 of these jerks had massive hidden fleets and armies in reserve all in anticipation of fighting each other if they
    had a chance.
    At any time they could have helped secure the empire, but for 10K years they were ready to stab one another in the back.

      I have 2 theories about lost primarchs :
      1) they are locked somewhere in the vaults of Terra and guarded by custodes, since they are mutated abominations , because they are the first ones that have been made and of course something went terribly wrong.
      2) Second theory (my favorite) Emperor could not have made the primarchs without the help of Erda, but in return she asked two primarchs to be made by her design. Because we know that her vision of humanity did not always align with Emperor's. Plot twist 1: they might not be demi-gods of warrior aspect ,or not just of war aspect like all 20 others are - since war is not the only purpose for humanity and it should not be humanity's only destiny. There are other things that we need like mercy, healing, care of nature , arts, knowledge. That will all come once Crusade is completed. And there needs to be a balance for humanity to thrive. A some destiny beyond endless war, when the time comes to rebuild and grow. To heal. And perhaps there is a special type of Primarch-like being that excels in those things - art, poetry, nature, healing.
      Plot twist 2 : they do not have to be male.

      Well, one has to figure that their lifespans are so short in comparison to all that is going on that the individual person holding the role probably doesn't mean all that much. It really is the seat and title that matters. Plus-- the things they deal with should be so far from the action the stories should be focusing on, that it can't help but feel shoe-horned in whenever they appear.

    @Kristian.B.Kristiansen Před rokem +1

    Great summation of a hugely complex topic! It is very easy to belittle and meme on the High Lords, but the sheer fucking weight of the smallest matter they deal with.... These beings rule so vast domains and holds such vast powers it strains the mind. Consider this; Every major High-Lord owns fortresses, armies, spy-agencies and much more. They are Grand Kings of galaxy-wide domains, who each represent something crucial to the Empires existence.

    • @KalashVodka175

    I admit to have not played the physical wargame, but through CZcams (and some audible books) I've gotten really into the lore and lurked in the subs.
    I just wanted to say I really appreciate how you approach discussing lore in a more 'living' way! I watch a few channels, but yours is always special for the additional gravitas you lend to a narration that's more present tense.
    I'm bad at appeasing the algorithm, but I do enjoy every insight :)

Big shout out to Jeremy Jahns and his latest video about Henry Cavill bringing Warhammer to the screen, as he recommended you in high regard and I had to come to your channel immediately and I got to say it's one of the easiest subscriptions I have ever made, absolutely love what I have seen so far and looking forward to go through all your content so far and what is yet to come.
    I do have a multi question, what is your opinion of Henry Cavill wanting to bring Warhammer 40k as a series or franchise, especially when Henry is a massive fan, plus what would you like to see, especially if done right?

    Thank you for the excellent lore content as always brother. You really push across how disconnected the High Lords are from even such people as planetary governors and the like in their power and ambition. It's amazing really that with so few people being able to make certain decisions and authorize the use of certain assets that anything gets done at all, and that the Imperium has not totally collapsed from just delays in the paperwork process.

    I do like the concept of the High Lords, and echo that I think they should be expanded upon. Let's see the point of a minor senator trying to court one of the Twelve, and stay in good ordure.
    Then again, I would also like to see the Nova Terra Interregnum expanded on. An entire quarter of the Galaxy rebels, Chapters upon Chapters are deployed, it lasts Throne knows how long, and all we know is that it's "eventually supressed". BAH!

      There are so many eras of the Imperium that are very unexplored, we only know era 41/42nd millenium, and a very basic outlook of the Age of Apostasy, but that's about it.
      Books set in the cusp of the Imperium, the moment when the Ministorum started to rise but where the Imperial Truth was still very much the primordial law would be very interesting : clash of epic proportion between the two camps, which I'm certain happend at some point or another.

  • @KalashVodka175
    @KalashVodka175 Před rokem +1

    From Watchers of the Throne by Chris Wraight. Scene from the perspective of Tieron, Chancellor to the High Lords of Terra, speaking directly to the reader:
    "I served in that station for nearly eighty years. I saw the composition of the High Twelve change over that span as death and rivalry took its toll. Some of those lords were vicious, many of them narcissists. Two were positively psychotic, and I remain convinced that a slim majority were always technically insane.
    And yet - here's the thing - they were all quite superlative. You doubt this? You wish to believe that the masters of the Imperium are men and women of grasping inadequacy, forever squabbling over their own ambitions? Believe away. You're a fool.
    There are twelve of them. Twelve. Consider what that means. More human souls now alive than have ever lived. In the absence of the active guidance of He who sits on the Throne - may His name be blessed - it is those twelve alone who have guided our ravenously fecund species through ten thousand years of survival, within a universe that most assuredly desires to chew on our collective souls and spit the gristle out.
    Many lesser mortals might have wished, in their idle moments, that they too could have risen to the heights, and sat on a throne of gold and ordered the Imperium as it ought to have been ordered - but they did not do it, and these ones did. They faced down the demands of the Inquisition, the belligerence of Chapter Masters, the condescension of mutant Novators and the injunctions of semi-feral assassins, and held their power intact. They orchestrated every response to every xenos incursion and patiently calibrated the defenses of the Endless War. They withstood insurrections and civil strife, zealotry and madness. Every one of them is a master or mistress of the most strenuous and the most acute capability, though they burn out quickly - I have seen it - for the cares of humanity are infinite and they themselves are most assuredly finite.
    So mock them all you will, and tell yourself that they have fattened themselves on the labour of the masses and that they dwell in glorious ignorance while the galaxy smolders to its inevitable ending. That is idiocy and it is indulgence. I served them for a good mortal span, judging them quietly even as they gave me their orders, and I tell you that though they had their many flaws, they were, and have always been, the greatest of us."
    Yes, I'm aware, Guilliman had to deal with some of the High Lords refusing to acknowledge his rule but think about it from their perspective : Guilliman was, for all intent and purposes, thought to be dead or dying in stasis. And then suddenly, he appear with a bunch of eldars in toe, and they are supposed to be certain of both facts that he is:
    1) The real guilliman (and not some clone or regular space marine with some secret enhancements)
    2) Not corrupted either by chaos or by the eldars
    Not to mention that guilliman by becoming Lord Commander kind of disregarded his own edicts as well as those of the Emperor, at least in spirit, that aimed at preventing marines and primarchs from gaining too much political power.
