    I love that GW borrows from Biblical, even just flat out human, mythos for their universe. Drach'nyen represents something so much greater than Chaos or the Ruinous Powers. He's a fundamental, irremovable aspect of mankind. Just as the Emperor represents man's (futile) quest for perfect Godliness, Drach'nyen is the opposite side of the spectrum... mankind's deepest, darkest, most brutal and sinister desires. The Emperor and Drach'nyen represent both heaven and hell inside of us.

    @Twiddly Stosh Drach'nyen is the Emperor, in a way. The Custodes always see the Emperor for what he truly is, a normal man. Why does not the Primarchs see that true image of him? He had always been able to manipulate his physical presence to the Primarchs. Most of them feel compelled to kneel in his presence. Drach'nyen is able to manipulate his appearance as well. But why did the Custodes see a man that was similar to the Emperor? Only something inherently connected with the Emperor could instill fear into a Custodes. In my mind, Drach'nyen and the Emperor were identical twins. Drach'nyen was a mortal man, and also the first killer, and the Emperor was the first to be murdered.

    That's why I love this lore so much. The Emperor is playing a game so far abstracted from anything we can even comprehend. He's literally plotting a course through dreams within dreams within nightmares. You'd think his "sons" would have understood that .. and not held him so personally accountable for their own suffering.

    Drach'nyen later goes on to become the sword of Abaddon the Despoiler, makes one wonder if the Emperor had already glimpsed that far into the future. That is most fervour, and failure, of an adversary would wield the one blade that at one point could do his immortal form serious harm. Hmm, maybe Abaddon is meant to be consumed by the Demon in the sword, perhaps? And is Drach'nyen meant to kill the throne-bound Emperor, or is it just a possible future? One person theorised that when the Emperor dies he'll ascend to join with the Star Child in the warp, the Astronomican will flicker and die, and in the following anarchy the Emperor would essentially "smack" the Chaos Gods over the head to get them to stop messing around. Then he would resurrect once again in the form of a mortal, and begin a new Great Crusade, and reclaim his sons once more.

    One small issue with that is with the shaman theory on how they committed suicide at the same time to ressurect into one being. Apparently they did this because it was getting harder for them to ressurect themselves as the chos powers were growing. Some would not come back at all after the warp consumed them. Thus, the emperor wanting/having to resurrect, and we don't know if this is even possible, could be a bad thing indeed.

    I think Drach'nyen probably appears differently to every individual who looks on it, for the Emperor that is his uncle, also worth noting... "Drach'nyen" sounds decidedly *Eldar.* While "Echo of the First Murder" as the Emperor called it would've probably been the Terran name for the Daemon, if he hadn't smothered all religion and warp lore from the record of history. Daemons, especially Greater Daemons are often more *idea* than *being,* and I think Big E recognized instantly what that means for a Daemon who represents the concept of "Murder." A concept that's been around since the before the Dawn of Mankind, as long as man, eldar, and every xenos in between are capable of conceptualizing the idea of "Murder" endures so too will Drach'nyen. I think Ra understood this too, once he was one with the Daemon and felt its corruption clawing at his soul, that's why he didn't object and fled without hesitation when commanded to do so. For his Emperor, for his Brother Custodes, for Mankind itself he *knew* he had to get this thing as *far* away from the battlefield as possible. Interestingly, by the very definition of his domain this means that arguably the only beings in the galaxy who is exempt from Drach'nyen's influence is the Tyrannids. Why you might ask? Because killing isn't *murder* to them, ever, there is only hunger, *consume.* When you kill a cow do you call it murder? No you would call it sustenance, it is much the same for the Tyrannids when they consume entire worlds.

    Out of the few books I’ve read this one is still my favorite passage. What is stated earlier on in the book is that this was not the first murder per say. It was stated that humans have been killing each other for thousands of years. What made that one different wasn’t the fact that it was the emperors father that was killed (which is in fact true) , it’s the fact that this was the first murder committed out of bloodlust. It was the first needless murder.

(as a sword in Abaddon's hands) Perhaps Ra, is the Emperors absolution. If the great blade were to strike the Emperor (a immortal perpetual) None would dare turn off the golden throne, yet Abbadon would. He even foreshadows all of this in his last sentances to Ra.

    My theory is that Abby saw this fate when looking into the Astronomicon, and is fully prepared to fulfill it. It's a destiny that will end with him on Terra, and dying upon it after finally tearing the Emperor from it and freeing him, splitting the Imperium and dividing humanity, but not ending it. It wouldn't end with the obliteration of Mankind, or delivering it to Chaos' maw (Abaddon hates Chaos almost as much as the Emperor after all) but start a new age and a new Galaxy. An age in which the strong and able can carve out their own fate, free from the shackles of the Imperium, it makes some sense. After all, this was the foundation on which the Heresy was started.

    15:24 Well Drach'nyen isn't your ordinary daemon. It's like comparing a human ( Bloodthirster ) with a Custodes ( Drach'nyen ). Just like the Chaos gods, it wasn't created by another entity but born through an act, in this case the first ever human murder and fratricide, a nod to Cain and Abel. Drach'nyen is a cosmic entity, the embodiement of an act, murder, and way beyond any daemon or even Greater Daemon created and shaped by the Chaos gods. While Emps effortlessly burnt and banished scores of Greater Daemons of all Chaos gods on a whim in this battle, he got almost one shot by Drach'nyen. That thing is technicaly older than the Chaos gods. At least his consciousness is. GW actualy did him a huge disservice by having the Chaos gods seal Drach'nyen away like it was just their secret weapon and nothing more.

    Ra is one of the most endearing characters warhammer has ever written and idk how anyone reads that book without at least tearing up a little. That's how you know the writer is good... in a grimdark franchise they can make you nearly tear up for someone. Ra is one of if not the greatest heroes of the entirety of the imperium. I also desperately want to read the story of how Abaddon was able to get the daemon sword Drachnyan off of Ra, if that's how he achieved. Since the sword ra was impaled with is the one abaddon is using in 40k. I read a theory that Ra could have possibly chosen abaddon because he is so selfish that he would never release the daemon because it was a tool for him to use as a sword but it is uncontrollable as a daemon. Idk I'd love a book on that. I believe it's actually the 1st black crusade if I remember correctly

I still do not understand why Big E didn't insta gib Horus. None of the new lore clarifies that for me. The old lore, when Big E wasn't a complete See You Next Tuesday, made him hesitating understandable. This new lore just makes me wonder WTH is going on. *shrug*

    He is a very very powerful and long lived post human. He is tall as fuck (taller than Primarchs), has the power of thousands of psykers (plus a power up from the Chaos gods themselves) and is a bloody perpetual. But in the end he is human, he feels, yearns, loves, hates, and gets sad. He is prone to human failures, but because of the tremendous place he has in the whole species, his failures are as big as his victories. Failing to understand the Primarchs, to believe they would fall, hell to even avoid telling them of chaos, was one of the Emps big fucking mistakes.

    Remember V for Vendetta? That wasn't a demon, it was an idea, a concept, a thought, gaming meta , of a murder. Ideas are bullet proof, and in this case even mind-bullets are useless. You can't kill an idea of murder using murder. The Emperor, in his wisdom, used a pro move and countered murder with the love of his custodian, Rha. Alas, we will never read word "love" in the lore. It could have solved all problems over there. And im not talking about man-woman, romantic love, but more of Jesus type of love for everyone. If only the Emperor gave out a few sincere hugs. Mortarion and Pertrarabo would be off the traitor list right away. Horus, Angron and Fulgrim are problem children, tho. Don't think a simple hug would help them.

    So I've watched this video like twice and I know this is an old one, but I have a question on this whole story. IF the god emperor was so powerful that he could force the daemon into a physical form and then command it to bind with the flesh of the custodian he hurled the sword at, why did he not just bind with Drach'nyen there and then? If he was so strong surely he could have been able to keep the daemon in check within him or at best use it as an offensive advantage as it's alliance was not to any one chaos god. This really annoys me that he simply threw away what was to become Abaddons most powerful weapon and he must have known would return to claim the lives of man eventually...

    You're wrong. Certainly the chaos gods aren't worthy of worship in their current state, but he and you are wrong to think that hiding their existence is helpful. They are literally powerful enough to reach out and contact people close to the eye of terror or other warp rifts, in addition literally all human FTL travel is through the warp so of course some imperial forces the primarchs more likely than most would encounter chaos. Telling people "by the way there's horrific demon gods in the warp formed by all the left over emotional debris from humans and other species, please be wary of them" would have been a lot more helpful than just saying "stop believing in metaphysical things like gods and spirits also magic powers are banned even though I use magic" fuck both your condescending patronizing arses. People are better than he thinks and their worst instincts work very differently from how he thinks. He's a liar and a hypocrite.
