THE ANCHORITE - Last Son of Colchis | Warhammer 40k Lore
Today we Elucidate the deeds of the repentant Word Bearers Dreadnought: Anchorite.
Present during the Great Crusade and committing atrocities alongside his brethren of the 17th during the Istvaan 5 Dropsite Massacre and Calth Betrayal, the Anchorite sought penance once disillusioned of his actions.
Making copies of the Lectitio Divinitatus first penned by his Primarch Lorgar Aurelian, the Anchorite prayer to the God Emperor of Mankind for forgiveness for over ten millennia until his kinsmen sought to reclaim him...

WORD!
“A devout man understands the possibility of damnation, but does not think that he himself will be damned. In those days I heard my brothers boast of knives and alters, and even then I knew that not one of them would go willingly to the stone. For such men, there is always another sacrifice. Always someone weaker.”
This is probably the first bit of 40k lore that really struck me, whoever wrote this somehow captured true faith and that only comes from much pain.
He was a Bearer of the Word, but the battle against his wayward brothers showed that he is something greater. He is now the Bearer of the Light, HIS light, as no mere man of faith can simply banish the tides of the neverborn with but a simple word
Bro said "I CAST HOLY LIGHT"
Anchorite seems like a pretty dope dude. Goes to show Contemptors are the best.
The Anchorite, Argal Tal, and that one word bearer who was particularly close to the Raven Guard (even during the heresy) were/are the only good Word Bearers. Even Argal was a great guy, his only flaw was being too loyal to Lorgar

The main issue with him (other than being possessed by Ra’Am) was that he was undyingly loyal to Lorgar and when he was forced to choose between the imperium and his gene family he chose his family. He absolutely chose wrong, but it was his choice to make. Also I forgot poor Iarto Khoura was killed by Corvus Corax in a fit of rage (I will defend his innocence until GW confirms treachery)

Can’t get more badass then one who saw his own folly and tried to off himself but failed and decided to go against his father Lorgar as a dragon once said “is it better to be born good or to change from ones evil nature to a path of good” only being convinced to fight after Aemond would risk his life for him rather then let him die and he beats back the Deamons and Chaos traitors and goes back to his room
Remember when the Anchorite said ‘it’s word bearin time!’ And bore the word everywhere? That was my favorite part.
It's so badsed, yet crazy how the Anchorite directly quouted his most heinous and disgusted Gene-Father to explain what he is to a son of Dorn to insure that he IS the loyal son of the Emperor... I wonder how this transaction would have turned out if it was with a son of Ultrama.....
The Anchorite is basically the Dreadnought version of John The Baptist. That is so cool. May there be more loyal sons of the Word Bearers. I would like to hear there stories.
What the anchorite says in the begining is a truth we humans should abide. An eye for an eye, will eventually leave a blind world...well, galaxy in this case 🙏🙏😔
I'm actually relistening to this story during my drive to work. Couldn't tell you how many times I've listened to it but it never gets old
Amazing how coherent the Anchorite is after all these years. Dreadnoughts tend to lose their lucidity as the milenna wears on, but he is still going strong enough to engage in complex theological discussions. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for doing This! The Anchorite made me buy my first Two 40k books….. only because the book he’s in, “Apocalypse,” didn’t differentiate the Spanish version from the English! But what disappointed me was the the Anchorites’ story was almost word for word that if the one on 2d4chan, but Rreading him BANISH demons on his own, with a gold light, makes you wonder what the imeperial cult and its most ferevent followers is capable of. To think that HE was the one who re-wrote and censored Lirgsrs book, which he still writes to this day. Thanks again! Keep up the great work!
Out of all of the known dreadnoughts the Anchorite is one of my favorites.
A fascinating character and paragon of his faith - one who practices the most extreme possible asceticism. A brilliant tale of true sainthood. ❤
I hope a GW author writes about a meeting between The Anchorite and Guilliman
Damn, brother Remembrancer. I love your elucidations, but the parts where you read excerpts always send chills down my spine. I'm not into audio books but I'd buy those read by you.
So good That's the best opening dialogue Ive heard on here
Someone needs to write a short story of the Anchorite meeting Bjorn the Fel Handed
An Amazing character but your narration, acting and musical choice elevated this video even more. EPIC. Fantastic. 👏👏👏
This was badass. I HOPE we get more stories with him or like this. Nearly all my favourite legions are traitors so would like some loyal versions in the modern setting.
Lorgar still has a pretty awesome armour set in my opinion. Would be cool to see this moment of the Anchorite animated, contempor dreadnought armour class is pretty awesome too.

We can infer a little about him from his circumstances. He was clearly loyal enough to the WB dark path to escape the purging by the Dark Council prior to the heresy and fanatical enough to be included in the roster of Calth. This guy wasn’t just a rank and file WB going along with the flow, he was a true believer who even Lorgar thought was too dangerous.
The thumbnail is hilarious, like "So you wanna hear about the God-Emporer???"
Him and Narek ( hopefully still alive in the next sage )are the last word bearers to believe in his holyness
That final line was enough to send shivers through me, I dearly hope that somehow the Bearers of the Word had more then a handful of their number to either remain true or come back to the Emperor's light. In their faith lies hope for Mankind to fight back the darkness and reclaim what was lost

We are not many who have realized and recanted our fall to Empyrean deception, but we do exist. Though we do not expect any recognition for our new path of pennance, and even less any forgiveness for our heretical crimes. No, the only atonement and redemption we can strive for is from the God Emperor himself if he deems our souls worthy to be claimed by Him once we die in His service.
Lmaoo, these WB frauds thought they were ready for him (they weren't ready)
Loyalist weird bearers are always my favorite
⚪🤍 If Rogal Dorn is the Latin Catholic then Lorgar Aurelian is the Greek Orthodox. And that's why the name of his Legion, the Word Bringers (Word Bearers + Truth Bringers). (Byzantine Crusader type)
That is really cool I love Warhammer lore it's always so epic and just full of I don't know awesomeness.
Man, that was a great experience! Loved the audiobook, one of my favorite books on audible. I only hope the guys at Black Libary plan to continue the plot line. Fingers crossed 🤞
Lorgar failed the test of faith. Too hungry for knowledge, too hungry to search for the truth..it led him to damnation.

Lorgar was deliberately misled and decived by Erebus, after beeing primed in his youth by Kor Phaeron and then kept ignorant and vulnerable by his True gene father. Lorgar's failiure was only made possible through the neglect of the, then nacent, God Emperor.
Man I wish we could get more of him, he was awesome. At least we got something on Suboden Khan on White Scars codex for what I heard. Another plot point for GW's archives.
Now we need a 30k/40k Anchorite model!!!
Rylanor was more badass but the Anchorite had a bigger and more helpful impact probably having the Imperium give more power to Big E through faith and a symbol to fight for repented and was sad enough to try to attempt Suicide and he’s as old as Bjorn instead of feeling like Bjorn a grandpa he feels like a Ex convict who found religion/Jesus or does motivational speeches and can change ones mindset or mood but also is humble enough to not state his name or have a Ego
No matter what legion, Dradnaughts are always based

Well, bro was right in the end.

Likely with deference, and as long estranged uncles. There might be a bit of a heated theological discussion over Monarchia as well as the Anchorite's post heresy activities, however, the Ecclesiarchy was established with the Sigillites blessing in his official capacity as regent of Terra and segmentum Solar, owing fealty to none other than the Imperial Throne itself.

The Anchorite was confused since it was revealed that it was under Gulliman's direct order that reinforcement was sent to save him. He'll never understand why would Gulliman spent his resources saving him even 10000 years later.
One of the loyalist word bearers ❤ He, along with Rylanor and The Fel Handed are amongst the best dreadnaughts. The Anchorite is one such peculiar dreadnaught though, because supposedly they go crazy after a millenia or two, but the anchorite was interred for 10 millenia 😅 idk if it is because he is already broken to begin with, or his faith is that strong it is already madness 😂
Does anyone know what the name of the piece of music at the start is?

Anchorite!
My question is was the emperor testing them or did he think it was just a test and the Emperor was actually just punishing them? because at this point I don’t know what the emperor wants. at first It seemed like he wanted to truly atheistic logic base society, but the same time he dressed up in a massive gold suit of armor with a flaming sword, and a literal halo of light around himself, and somehow expected Not to be worshiped.
