It might be a bubble or warp storm that is similar to the warp before the war in heaven. So the more peaceful or pure version of the warp that's been bubbled up would cause daemons to have a stroke as described in the lore.

[akumaking]

The idea of the Astronomicon being a specialized Warp Storm is unique!

[Vincent_A.]

0:17 Ah, a meme from Malcador the Hero’s personal collection. Exquisite!

[afasdfasafd]

Love the idea thats the phanteón of order would have both a god that caused hundreds of xenocides and a god that is composed of dozens of xenos species

[Lord-Of-Bread]

I'd love hear more about the gods of order theory. I'd imagine they'd include the emperor, the surviving eldar gods, and the new T'au god that's forming.

[EVER_PRINCE]

According to the Horus Heresy rule book, the Astronomicon is just a massive choir of Psykers screaming endlessly into the Warp, under the guidance and empowered by the Emperor. So realistically, could it be possible to make new smaller ans weaker Astronomicons across Imperium Nihilius? Just a curious question I had and wanted to share to get your two cents.

[xavierhugo]

A pantheon that comprises itself of gods of order? That would be intriguing

[pigeonx]

Never knew how the astronomicon worked or what the adeptus astronomica actually did. I sincerely hope you can find a way to do more in this series!

[jamessmart]

As an Eldar Corsair fan, I love hearing about Rogue traders and the more radical (or chill in the case) elements of the inquisition, as they kind of go hand in hand

[BarelyDecentProduction]

for me, I believe it to be a necron construct kinda like the one that turned them from flesh beings into soulless robots

[nightlordnorris]

Your Gods of Order theory kinda has some weight to it.

It has been rumored that Constantine Valdor has access to a pocket dimension in the webway which was given to him by the Emperor, in which he is helping the Emperor to create saints and "soldiers of light and fire." Even Majorkill's channel talks about this quite a bit.

I believe Saint Celestine, Constantine Valdor, The Sanguinor, Grand Marshal Helbrecht of the Black Templars, and even perhaps Dante are being set up as the Emperor's "Legion of Order, " if you will.

Then you also have to include Ferrus Manus (supposedly) and the Legion of the Damned.

And even if that isn't the case, you can always make the case that between the guardsmen who have seen these Imperial Warp entities, & The religious zealots, its quite possible that the worship will eventually ascend them to that point.

That is what Saint Matthieu and the Aeldari told Gulliman - is that he is a God now, regardless if he likes it, or not.

[MiniatureMasterClass]

I recall Dan Abnett stating the Astronomicon is actually a blast of energy that can be used cleanse the warp of Chaos.

[spartanblu]

The Astronomicon is the Old Ones Rumba. They used that baby back in the day to clean the build up of dirty warp things

[benhur]

I partly agree with you on this, but I also think it may aid with building the web way. kind of like marking and clearing trees to build a road.

[andyduke]

I won't call it anti-warp. We know the warp is impacted by the user. In this case, it's chaos vs anti-chaos; that doesn't necessarily mean chaos vs order.

The writer of this video will be ritually sacrificed

[verlux]

Been bingeing (?) your content. Easily my favourite among lore channels on youtube. Love how its a mix of crackhead theories and breakdowns. Up there with remembrancer and oculus :)

[vulkanlives]

Gods of Order. That would be interesting to hear about. Hawk Boy might have a way to return after all.

[Mrwarfull]

I always thought it is something not truly of the warp, nor truly the material realm. But instead one that has been overlayed upon the other. That psychic screams meshed with some material amplifier from either the dark age of tech or the necrons was the true heart of it. That big E just directed it, pointed it. I say this is backed up by how the demons react as it is not a true warpstorm as they arent empowered by it instead weaken and shattered by it. It isn't order upon chaos, but instead psychic energy meshed with something of the material world, thats why all of its manifestations aren't true demons, they arent simply part of Big E psychic might or part of a possible star child, but all of them are souls of people who had fought and died for mankind cause, brought back by the Astronomicon and or big E to carry on the fight. As it can't make demons as it is not a true warpstorm or a pure warp entity it needs that material realm component of a real life for it to empower as it can not create.

[RamArt]

A good assumption would be that the warp is just a primordial force that can shape and be shaped by whoever uses it. The only reason it is so hostile is because Chaos has a hugely disproportionate presence within it.
Warp fuckery that is not tied to Chaos would explain the Manifestation of the Greater Good as a goddess and some of the mos mystical aspects of the Elder Cores.
