In this work, the Historator attempts to throw the Inquisition off his trail by using many unpleasant adjectives.

[cormacbyrne]

Know what I think would be funny? A video where the historitor gets kidnapped by Trazyn to record exposition for his museum in Scholomance. Feels like the kind of shenanigans Trazyn would pull. 🤣

_In other news, a public recaff dispenser malfunctioned today, causing multiple deaths and injuries. The blessed device screamed, "Praise the Omnissiah!" and discharged 500 liters of superheated recaff at high pressure into a crowd of waiting patrons. 12 were injured, and two killed, including an Oculus of the Logos Historiaverta. Tech-Priests have blamed the the accident on "human error" and improperly preformed tech-rites..._

[UGNAvalon]

Not even a minute in, and we already hear “Throne help me”

_OhoHO!_ This’ll be a good one!

You are uniquely skilled in making me believe that you are in the universe.
Very immersive and enjoyable.

[JohnSmith-ttgo]

The combo of the iterator despising the Eldar but doing so because of their difficult grammar tenses is peak Oculus. Ave Imperator.

Remember: Abhor the xeno, and by extension their methods of record keeping.

[fnglert]

I've heard him speak of Orks with more respect than he's showing the Aeldari. I approve.

[gavinboyer]

Fun fact, the c'tan shard trapped in The Silent King's throne is one of Nyadra'zatha (the one described as the burning one), and his cape is made of its flayed necrodermis skin.

[syqe]

The like button will be pressed, before examination of this record commences, as the historitors past works are of such peerless quality that they warrant as such. Mayhap the lord regent will view this as a sign, that his peerless genius in bestowing this role upon you was just that, peerless genius.

Ave imperator, Oculus.

[coldopenstories]

Occupying a contrast between Imperial knowledge and Aeldari myth (as you even mention), I can think of no better double feature than our two takes on the War in Heaven, bud.

Great work, as always 👏

"Auto-reflective Adverb"
The high schooler in me wants to purge.

[Gilmore-the-Glorious]

I've got to say I love how this is from the stand point of an inquisitor looking at these eldar stories, not truly understanding everything, but gleaming what he can.

Its and interesting take on a lore video... I

[deanlawlor]

Saw the notification and had to drop everything! You bring the lore to life in a way that is so immersive. I can visualise myself being a student from the Schola Progenium, listening to a dataslate on a late night in the librarium, or an Inquisitor checking for signs of heresy 🤔 Greetings from Ireland mo chara 😀

[DevilishPraxis]

Perfidious Eldar! These aliens had the stars in their grasp and now are left to sift the dust of their once fabulous realm. For all their intellect and mysticism they could not contain the beast within them, nor tame the wild monsters of the Shadow. Why should we pay them any heed?

Ordo Xenos jokes aside, thanks for the perfectly timed upload needed something to listen to while I finish up a commission!

[cormacbyrne]

Ah, the necrons and the eldar... so different and yet, so similar... ancient races, former servants of ancient gods who now operate independently, but whose origins were so utterly unlike. One, a short lived race turned into immortal robots by desperation and the deceptions of physical abominations only to rebel against their masters. The other, created by their psychic masters and reliant on organic technology and psychic power, left adrift after the deaths of their gods. They are the most interesting, in my opinion, of all races in 40k, for they are the building blocks of all that would come after.

[thewayfarer]

I like to think among the various Yin and Yang motifs the Eldar have...one of them is the Elven face, and a human fist.

Remember Imperials: Human supremacy is anti-heresy

[mikewaterfield]

Its the nuance i love, "I must begrudgingly give credit to these loathsome xenos"

[cmoye]

Literally updated my patreon after this video. Your work is amazing and the enjoyment I get watching these videos every week wasn't reflected in the old tier. I wish you nothing but continued success.

[raycearcher]

"Hideous forms" Uh yeah, historitor. Absolutely. Those Eldar are gross. Ew. Yuck. Big time nope from me. What, farseer Taldeer pinup calendar? No, I have no such thing. No need to involve the inquisition.
