A Massive thank you to @AltrusianGraceMedia for bringing to life 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. A lot of research was needed on this one and It turned out better than I expected. If you guys are interested in more Ravenguard Lore, check out A Vox in the Void's latest narration - th-cam.com/video/lQaR7ffIPBE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AVoxintheVoid-Narration.
He desired peace above all, when the emperor asked him to join the imperium his only request was that he bring peace to kiavahr and deliverence, to which the emperor replied he could bring order but peace was another thing entirely. Makes a lot more sense that he was willing to do all the evils of the great crusade when you look at it through this lens. The emperors dream would bring about true peace not order. Their dreams were the same. That is also why i believe they got along so well. It also explains his true rage at his brothers for betraying the imperium, explained by arghal tal as even more frightening than the demons of the warp themselves, more pure, "no it was not rage at all, this was wrath in physical form."
@@megafeendirk9616 To that end, I think Corvus may have once again been on to something that not even he realized: as he had already glimpsed a part of what actually goes into the Primarch, what he exhibits in "Shadows of the Past" may be an example of what the Primarchs were meant to be, all along. Am willing to bet that Corvus will be the first to realize that a Primarch was designed to switch between a physical and warp form for war on either front. Most other Primarchs handicap themselves by choosing a side. This is based off the speculation that all Primarchs are warp-born souls of ancient human myths given physical form by the Emperor's hand.
Corvus and the Emperor had a strong connection to each other, and no doubt that they were both the Light and Dark. Neither were are good or evil, but both needed to each other for the light to shine brighter and darken the shadows. Perhaps the Emperor could relate to Corvus need for justice and to destroy oppression that mankind desperately needed after the Age of Strife, and perhaps the Emperor saw a younger version of himself within Corvus.
Liam has quickly become my head canon voice for the emperor. Once again thankyou for inviting me to be a part of these special videos. You are indeed the king sir. Vox
The relationship between Corax and the Emperor is some of the best counters to the idea the Big E saw his sons as nothing but tools. There were plenty of Primarchs that had toxic relationships with him, and the Emperor was absolutely a 'big picture' guy that would sacrifice anyone for his goals, but he was still a man, impossibly more of man than any other, and that meant he had emotions and feelings far beyond the average too. It's just unfortunte the first son to return in 40K was Guilliman, who no one really liked. Even then, the Emperor seems to care in his own, now God like ways.
Corax always knew his place. He was created not birthed and was a number and a weapon not a man. It seems the Emperor lacked ego and Corax had that in common with him.
@@cgavin1 That and corax fought FOR humanity, not for himself or even emps. This, this is the key to the love of emperor love, emps love nothing more then primarchs who treated humanity well. That the reason he asked about corax's "peace" to make sure he won't hurt the humans. This is why Vulcan, guiliman, sanguinius, horus, Magnus were most loved, because they treated humanity with respect and grace. Humanity above all else, nothing is more important that how big E thinks, follow same logic and you be loved.
If youve heard, apparently shadow corax was a projection of some sort. And corax is still in the ravenspire somewhere, so we might get him back hopefully
Corax also contrasts with Angron, as he did what the latter could not: Led a successful slave/prisoner rebellion and delivered his people from oppression.
@@MrJordwalkthe problem with that is that the nails altered Angron's personality and even diminished one of his greatest gifts; empathic healing. Dude would have probably been one of the kindest, gentlest souls. Up there with Vulkan. Had he not A: landed on his head. B: been giving horrific Grimdark brain surgery. He's a very tragic Primarch who had his greatest traits torn from him.
Excellent use of "The Raven" throughout. A lot of readings of that work, even by the greats, have left me cold, but this worked really well. And as a W40K outsider I often confused Corvus with Conrad - the idea that one was the dark mirror of the other makes so much sense to me.
Corax, the one son who was told of the warp from the beginning. The son trusted with secret knowledge, as well of his very own creation. A father that truly acted as such, Longer may have been the spitting image of the Emperor of Mankind, but Corax was his Heart.
@@r.cdahuman7682 it's said that he only told one of his sons of Chaos before the Heresy. When Corax asked how he was number 19 right after he was told he had 17 brothers, the Emperor relented when Corax asked immediately after how he got here, within stone and ice. He was told of the Warp, it's daemons, and the threat it posed to Humanity. As well as how him and his brothers were stolen and scattered across the stars.
@@r.cdahuman7682 Malacdor isn't always correct. In Deliverance lost he tells Corax it is impossible to talk to the Emperor, for he isn't on Terra (technically) But is possessed by the Emperor so he can speak personally with his favoured son, the one who shares his likeness as well as his dream.
@@codysing1223 while malacdor isn't always right, and lies as well, there are multiple reasons why he was probably right For one, he's one of the only Ones in the imperium prior to the heresy who knew about Chaos. He was the emperor's confidant and counsel, meaning he would most certainly be aware if the emperor decided to tell a primarch. He also says "we" only let one primarch know. There is also no reason at all for him to lie here, as it does nothing positive and possibly would do something negative in making sanguinus, rogal, and Khan distrust him. Also I don't think corvus was emps most favored son. Lorgar was said to look the "most" like, though since the emperor says in Deliverance lost he has looked like a lot of things maybe it's more accurate to say lorgar looks like him currently. It can also very much be said many if not most of the primarchs shared his dream for a unified humanity, pre and post heresy
Perturabo for me, I know he isn't the best temperament wise, but I had his same familial issues, but my favourite primarch is either Vulcan, pre heresy Fulgrim, Perturabo, or Roboute.
Raven Guard and Alpha Legion for the behind the scenes stuff is just so cool. Espionage, cloak and dagger, hit and run , shadow tactics. The most exciting way to wage war for me.
@@cryamistellimek9184 I shant lie, a good bit were my own...but also the feeling of unlove I can understand, people very often focus on their own grief and hopelessness and in doing so, ignore and disregard blessings and kindness put before them
I love how Corax is still himself even after transforming, I’m guessing he’s just a warp entity now or at least mostly one. Can’t wait to see more from him.
By far you possess a superior narration style, worthy of one's attention, and that background music, that's just awesome. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next video. The Emperor protects
I've only recently started getting into Warhammer lore and stumbled upon this video while listening to primarch videos in the background in order to broaden my horizons and the production quality on this truly blew my mind. Corvus became my favourite primarch, but I'm not sure if it's truly due to me genuinly liking him the most, or due to your video being so spectacular it left such an impression on me. I will definitely have to watch your other videos too just to make sure now lol, I wish you only the best, your videos are really fantastic.
I can not say if it was a strong attachment to Corax's story or the way you told it but this video was one of very few that made me feel an emotional attachment to the story
This is like the 5th time if listened to this video. You and voices you assembled for this video have much to be proud of. The narration of the drop site massacre is so good. I get chills listening to the purr of Konrad's voice and Corax's is absolutely perfect. Well done yall :3
Another fine video, Amber King. I am always amazed to see the amount of subscribers you have, you deserve a lot more. The bit about Lorgar left quite the impact on me. "The misty fire. All were gone now. He was as he had always been - Lorgar. The Seventeenth son. The Image of his father. The one soul in twenty who never wished to be a soldier, and here he would die...at the heart of the battlefield."
It's truly unbelievable how progressed lore videos over the years. It left an exquisite aftertaste on the palate, such a masterpiece. I was supposed to listen on the background but just sucked in and couldn't do anything else but listen.
The fact in such touching moment Emperor gifted Corax with means to replenish his Legion and Alpha assholes messed it all up fills me with more rage than Burning of Prospero and Calth.
Great video on Corax i love your Primarch and character long videos they have such perspective driven from lore. Keep it up you are doing amazing work.
A superb work, Brother. It is incredibly commendable how nicely you delve into the minds of the characters, and in this case, mixing it with the poem makes for a superb analogy. Probably my favourite vid by you so far, alongside Sevatar and Fulgrim. I can't wait for Khârn next
Excellent content truly remarkable!! Glad to have found out your channel 👍 I would love to see Custodes video, there were many updates to them in lore of recent edition
Just found your channel while searching for more Raven Guard content, oh boy I wish I discovered it earlier! The amount of work put in these videos is insane! Just subscribed, keep up the great work!
Man Corax is my fav dude is like a super introspective doomslayer. Bro said never again and went full send into the EoT just out there rampaging thru there I imagine choas marines and demons fleeing like wtf is that.
"They were brutal & efficient but oppressive & uncaring. They were cut from the same cloth as the men with whips, the men that the young boy despised..." Huh... so the young boy grew up at an abnormally rapid rate, wanting to be a champion of the people. And that's what he did until some guy from the sky said "I'm your space daddy." and convinced him to start oppressing people smaller than him, just like the jerks he grew up hating. Right... I'm not saying that Horus' rebellion was the best way to go about things but, seriously, F*^K THE EMPEROR & his way of doing things! The last priest of the last church sure pulled the emperor's card on how things would go... Love this channel, I really appreciate your work, thank you!
Man you surpass luiten with the story telling aspect and i dont say that lightly because i followed lutien since the early days but man keep up the amazing work and thank you
No question, whatsoever... Corax is the perfect candidate to be the next returning Loyal....ish Primarch unto the current millennium. Of course, following fiercely, and ruthlessly Lorgar who finally has descended upon the fractured in twain Imperium. The golden one blazing with a righteous zeal which none could be of want, nor will, nor choice to deny! Lorgar, the golden, The Urizan, bringing the type of prophetic grandeur found only within the sole source of light left to the people of this void gripped Imperium nihilus. The honored bearer of the divinitatus' very words themselves has returned at last... The people rejoice! Thus he in full legion strength, goes from planet to planet teeming full, with such "mercy to burn!" He sets out on his patiently planned "Glorious" crusade to "save" these desperate souls. And every last one of them will see the truth..... Following behind him... Corax... him, actually being the one appearing far more Demon-Prince than Loyal saviour Primarch. To add, all he brings is an ever increasing of darkness, a silent, lone uncertainty as he follows and descends upon a world. Even Guilleman at first when receiving such alarming astropathic reports coming in is himself unsure of both the intentions, and if this is instead a Chaos and Lorgar created doppelganger of Corax only to sew further confusion and dissent! Tell me the current state isn't perfect for such a masterpiece of manipulation, and actually explains Lorgar's absence for so long. Along with the near hopeless state of the dark Imperium making it so ripe for just the sort of thing the word bearer 's are so designed to take advantage of and exploit. And Corax's appearance, acceptance of their creation... is the perfectly positioned to expertly compliment the story by mirroring Lorgar's deceivery, appearing so benevolent, masking his pure evil. Corax appearing so malevolent, but with not but vengeance, and defense of the imperium in his heart. Tell me that amazing novel doesn't damn near write itself. While also being so perfectly occuring in the current, confusion soaked, split in two Imperium. With such a focus on guilleman, so bereft of trustworthy allies. And such a focus on the church, such an aversion to guilleman's very being. Him only with demon tainted brothers being left in this time, would not even recognize the being Corax now is... Thus must have also pledged to the dark gods, as well.. Or a clone, made to further dig into his more and more fractured purpose, seeing his once perhaps the most virtuous, noble, empathy driven brother this creature of death, darkness, and compassion. Finally becoming kurze after all.... What a blow to his, hope of reclaiming the emperor's dream even possible if even Corax was unable to resist the honeyed words of the ruinous powers!!! Until he meets face to face that is.... though still remains deeply trouble by Corax willful transformation and usage of such "powers"..... Get on it GW!!!

The thought of a swole, long hair, 10ft+ tall, even more pale Edgar Allan Poe in power armor laying waste to his enemies with huge razor-sharp lightning claws is pretty great.
Shrike stepped outside deliverance and came to the ravens yard. The ravens yard was the graveyard for all raven guard who died upon isstvann. Every friend corax personaly knew,buried in there home at peace. Shrike wandered among the graves respectfully. Though his upbringing was one of a former gang scout,he grew up knowing legends of corax. The one who saved deliverance of tyrany. And its the ravem guard who uphold his legacy. Shrike then noticed someone...and his blood ran cold at the sight. A shadowy figure,with furled wings of darkness...no. it was a man taller then any astartes. Shrouded in black. "...corax?" Shrike spoke weary. "...i had thought this small graveyard would be abandoned one day. Im glad i was wrong." Shrike kneeled before the primarchs apparition. "Forgive me my lord...i am a disgrace. I have yet to find a worthy master of shadows." The deliverers shade turned around and faced him,and smiled. "You are more worthy to lead my chapter then you will ever know,kayvann. my friends are gone. Ive failed my family. Ive failed my father. I failed my friends. But i will not fail humanity. You are a good man kayvann. A trait almost alien to the inperium of today. Be what you were in nature. Be the guide to those lost in the shadow. Be the one who leads the sons of Deliverance to free others. My axioms apply to all things. They can change. My time grows short,my hunt for lorgar and my brothers continue. And if you do see the lion or guiliman,pass on to them a message,will you?" "...with pleasure." "Tell them...i am sorry. And that i hope they can make a better future then what the emporor and chaos attempted for humanity. Victorus aut mortis,chapter master." "And in the darkness do we guide the oppressed to liberty." Shrike spoke resolute. Corvus vanished. Shrike saw a raven upon a tree,fly away,and smiled. "I do not think myself worthy my lord...but i am glad i know my life is not wasted." To be continued...
@_zapatoz_ headcanon. Although i do think its not beyond corax to make something special for his adoptive family and friends who died in the heresy given he loved them fiercly

Well, isn't Corvus the perfect example of a reasonable man turned to do unreasonable acts due to injustice.
Pretty reasonable across the board. Probably why most reasonable marine chapters spawn from him

Man Corax is my fav dude is like a super introspective doomslayer. Bro said never again and went full send into the EoT just out there rampaging thru there I imagine choas marines and demons fleeing like wtf is that.
Amazing work my friend.Can not wait for the next one.
This was so dark and intense - loved it, can't wait to start my Raptors
Wow amazing I almost cry 😭 what a great story tank you Sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Holy crap TTS was accurate,Corax DOES do poetry!
Actually Corax disdains poetry, it's mentioned in the books
@@jamesrea5450 does that mean that canon Corax actually washes his hair?
@@jamesrea5450 he LITERALLY speaks like a poet
@@armoroftruth3166 he was raised among poets and scholars and politicians, of course his speech would reflect that
@@SamueL-td7fb *Of course he does, he's not fucking Mortarion or Perturabo to not wash his hair.*
Masterfully done, all.
Fantastic stuff! Great work!🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👏👏👏👏👏👏
Any chance you will do a deep dive into Lorgar? Was always fascinated by the mindset of the Primarch of the Word Bearers.
Of course brother!
This context really makes Edgar Allen Poe go hard.
Can't wait till you do the Lion😍
The way you bring to life the others... Man. Amazing
Right in the feels...
My second time listening to the entire lore of Corvus. My personal favorite Primarch, and army to play!
"They were brutal & efficient but oppressive & uncaring. They were cut from the same cloth as the men with whips, the men that the young boy despised..." Huh... so the young boy grew up at an abnormally rapid rate, wanting to be a champion of the people. And that's what he did until some guy from the sky said "I'm your space daddy." and convinced him to start oppressing people smaller than him, just like the jerks he grew up hating. Right...
I'm not saying that Horus' rebellion was the best way to go about things but, seriously, F*^K THE EMPEROR & his way of doing things! The last priest of the last church sure pulled the emperor's card on how things would go...
Love this channel, I really appreciate your work, thank you!
What an insular, and easily disproven notion.
@@attemptedunkindness3632 Bite the curb, the emperor can suck it
This has been very entertaining
actually the best warhammer videos on the platform. I love the character pieces
Underrated Primarch and legion.
1:03:00 - 1:08:40 my god i loved this segment it made me want Corax to have infinitely better characterization, he needs so much better.
''I got your picture, I'm coming for you
Dear Lorgar, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this void
And I'm your death''
-Corax
Man you surpass luiten with the story telling aspect and i dont say that lightly because i followed lutien since the early days but man keep up the amazing work and thank you
No question, whatsoever...
Corax is the perfect candidate to be the next returning Loyal....ish Primarch unto the current millennium.
Of course, following fiercely, and ruthlessly Lorgar who finally has descended upon the fractured in twain Imperium.
The golden one blazing with a righteous zeal which none could be of want, nor will, nor choice to deny!
Lorgar, the golden, The Urizan, bringing the type of prophetic grandeur found only within the sole source of light left to the people of this void gripped Imperium nihilus. The honored bearer of the divinitatus' very words themselves has returned at last... The people rejoice!
Thus he in full legion strength, goes from planet to planet teeming full, with such "mercy to burn!"
He sets out on his patiently planned "Glorious" crusade to "save" these desperate souls.
And every last one of them will see the truth.....
Following behind him... Corax... him, actually being the one appearing far more Demon-Prince than Loyal saviour Primarch.
To add, all he brings is an ever increasing of darkness, a silent, lone uncertainty as he follows and descends upon a world.
Even Guilleman at first when receiving such alarming astropathic reports coming in is himself unsure of both the intentions, and if this is instead a Chaos and Lorgar created doppelganger of Corax only to sew further confusion and dissent!
Tell me the current state isn't perfect for such a masterpiece of manipulation, and actually explains Lorgar's absence for so long. Along with the near hopeless state of the dark Imperium making it so ripe for just the sort of thing the word bearer 's are so designed to take advantage of and exploit.
And Corax's appearance, acceptance of their creation... is the perfectly positioned to expertly compliment the story by mirroring Lorgar's deceivery, appearing so benevolent, masking his pure evil. Corax appearing so malevolent, but with not but vengeance, and defense of the imperium in his heart.
Tell me that amazing novel doesn't damn near write itself. While also being so perfectly occuring in the current, confusion soaked, split in two Imperium. With such a focus on guilleman, so bereft of trustworthy allies. And such a focus on the church, such an aversion to guilleman's very being.
Him only with demon tainted brothers being left in this time, would not even recognize the being Corax now is...
Thus must have also pledged to the dark gods, as well..
Or a clone, made to further dig into his more and more fractured purpose, seeing his once perhaps the most virtuous, noble, empathy driven brother this creature of death, darkness, and compassion. Finally becoming kurze after all....
What a blow to his, hope of reclaiming the emperor's dream even possible if even Corax was unable to resist the honeyed words of the ruinous powers!!!
Until he meets face to face that is.... though still remains deeply trouble by Corax willful transformation and usage of such "powers".....
Get on it GW!!!
Damn. Terry Pratchet was pretty metal 😂
Im filled with thankfulness got a long night ahead of me at least I got this gem to give me company:D
Yes been looking forward to this one!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Raven🔥
Great storytelling! Subscribing for sure.
This is why I Love the Raven and NightLords it’s their fathers similar upbringings very different outcomes
Dood! -Just finished it, -you certainly are one of THE BEST when it comes to the Lore, presentation, narration & personal additive insight(s) ~Thank you also for turning me onto "TheVoxInTheVoid".....
-This, as is an IMPRESSIVE ARRAY of fresher WH40K LorePeeps. People such as YOU have assisted with INSPIRING so very many spanning differing mediums of action & creativity!...
Pretty WILD that this is "All Fiction" right?...;)
From a differing perspective & angle, view the previously written WH40K.HoHe content as a work in active deceptive inversion of particular topics/lore, -somewhat being akin to a William S. Burroughs "Cut-Up" book writing technique....
-One can be purposefully led down a pathway(s) into believing specific written events* as if being predestined, fixed, without nary the thought as to its original fluidity, nor the TIME-LINE in which those events take place!
*IE: Religious/Cultist/!CavalrysCominAtitude!/"WhiteHatz"/Political LeftRight paradigm polarity "Externalized Savior" syndromes....
-BE, CREATE & externalize the good you want to see/feel in the world. Yes, some/present day evil(s) MUST be, exposed, dealt with harshly & with haste...
-The turning of the world has just recently taken flight & is happening NOW....
~Be Well......
Well done Sir.
This video was awsome ❤️
The thought of a swole, long hair, 10ft+ tall, even more pale Edgar Allan Poe in power armor laying waste to his enemies with huge razor-sharp lightning claws is pretty great.
Shrike stepped outside deliverance and came to the ravens yard.
The ravens yard was the graveyard for all raven guard who died upon isstvann. Every friend corax personaly knew,buried in there home at peace. Shrike wandered among the graves respectfully. Though his upbringing was one of a former gang scout,he grew up knowing legends of corax. The one who saved deliverance of tyrany. And its the ravem guard who uphold his legacy. Shrike then noticed someone...and his blood ran cold at the sight. A shadowy figure,with furled wings of darkness...no. it was a man taller then any astartes. Shrouded in black.
"...corax?" Shrike spoke weary.
"...i had thought this small graveyard would be abandoned one day. Im glad i was wrong."
Shrike kneeled before the primarchs apparition.
"Forgive me my lord...i am a disgrace. I have yet to find a worthy master of shadows."
The deliverers shade turned around and faced him,and smiled.
"You are more worthy to lead my chapter then you will ever know,kayvann. my friends are gone. Ive failed my family. Ive failed my father. I failed my friends. But i will not fail humanity. You are a good man kayvann. A trait almost alien to the inperium of today. Be what you were in nature. Be the guide to those lost in the shadow. Be the one who leads the sons of Deliverance to free others. My axioms apply to all things. They can change. My time grows short,my hunt for lorgar and my brothers continue. And if you do see the lion or guiliman,pass on to them a message,will you?"
"...with pleasure."
"Tell them...i am sorry. And that i hope they can make a better future then what the emporor and chaos attempted for humanity. Victorus aut mortis,chapter master."
"And in the darkness do we guide the oppressed to liberty." Shrike spoke resolute.
Corvus vanished. Shrike saw a raven upon a tree,fly away,and smiled.
"I do not think myself worthy my lord...but i am glad i know my life is not wasted."
To be continued...
@_zapatoz_ headcanon. Although i do think its not beyond corax to make something special for his adoptive family and friends who died in the heresy given he loved them fiercly
1:18:00 such a good part
I miss your first 80s style intro. Great stuff though, when is Sanguinius coming up?
I am so excited for this
They're voices are Incredible
