War in Heaven: The Dark Beginning of Warhammer 40K Lore

Sixty million years before the Imperium, the galaxy fought its first great war. This is the War in Heaven, and it is where Warhammer 40K lore begins. Before humanity. Before the Imperium. In this video we follow the Old Ones, the Necrontyr and the C'tan from the first refusal to the Great Sleep, and the Aeldari who were the last ones standing. What we cover: Old Ones: builders of the Webway and shapers of the younger races Necrontyr: a short-lived people under a dying star The Refusal: the request for immortality that started it all C'tan: star gods given bodies of necrodermis Biotransference: what living forever cost the Necrontyr Enslaver Plague: the threat that ended the war for everyone The Great Sleep: why the Necrons went silent for sixty million years Along the way I look at the decisions behind the events. Why the Old Ones said no, why the Necrontyr trusted the C'tan, and what the winners actually had left once it was over. The events are canon. The interpretation is mine. If you read it differently, the comments are open. If you liked it, a follow and a like help a lot. Question for the comments: should the Old Ones have given the Necrontyr what they asked for? And if I got something wrong, tell me and I'll correct it. Next: The Fall of the Aeldari. Independent fan project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Games Workshop.
