I agree! Jago knew his purpose was never meant to be some bloodthirsty psychopath. Moreover he was meant to be a sort of judge for the guilty,jury for wicked, and executioner for the criminal. So that the innocent can rest and be safe under his protection.(just in my opinion of course)

This is fantastic, thank you! Sevatar finally found the true purpose of the Night Lords. They are meant for the worst of the worst. The purpose of the 8th Legion is pure. Punish the wicked who will never accept peace. Accept sin so the innocent need not bear it.
Yeah but he lost the plot... I feel like Konrad was made to stabalise the Legion like Sanguinius did to his. That's what the Big E wanted him for. Dude basically wanted a Legion of Batmans that killed but that goal kinda depended on Konrad being mentally sane
@@ironduke5058 boy did that plan fail , Curze mental state was degrading much worse due to the heresy and just continued to fall after his fights on Istvan 5 and capture of Vulcan. I feel like Curze was trying to get his brothers to kill him to prove his visions wrong hence why he continued to push them to the edge during the heresy
Biggest mistake that made Curze go even more crazy was giving him a legion full of the criminals he hated most. The emperor protects but before that the emperor disregards lmao
Theres actually some lore behind that. At first the night lords were only the most gifted people of nostramo and also the original terrans. The best of nostramo are still killers but theyre at least intelligent or honorable. But after curze leaves the planet, the nobles secretly revolt. The nobles and a night lord marine, who is related to a noble, start sending the worst recruits of nostramo. This poisons the legion even more. Every new recruit is dishonorable and insane. The brotherhood and purpose of the legion is destroyed.
People are fascinated by redemption arcs because every person knows, intimately, their worst failings. If they can witness others rise up from their own failings, it gives people hope that they can do the same.
and curze is the opposite. he doesnt want there to be hope for redemption, because it implies his actions were wrong, and that implies he had a choice. the only way what he did wouldnt be wrong would be if he had to do them. he doesnt believe he deserves redemption.
Man I love how you match what happens in the lore with your interpretation of what goes through the main characters mind when he commits his deeds flawlessly. It truly makes an entertaining story!
I'm not sure if anyone would appreciate you comparing their content they spent hours upon hours making to someone else's. Even if you mean that as a complement, its still disrespectful.
When I heard about the short story of Sevatar and the Astropath I bought it immediately. This is why I love the Warhammer 40k stories and characters. Each major character is built on so many layers. When you think you know who they are, you find something that makes you re-evaluate them completely. I always pictured Sevatar as this ruthless and silent killer but your video showed a different side to him. Sevatar enacting justice on that girls torturers' was out of left field. Not only that, you tied Jago to Curze who is a very complex character. Bravo to your story telling and research. If I may offer one critique, any chance you can give a list of where you found this? That way we have a chance to read the same stories you found.
Yeah of course I can put that in the descriptions going forward. For Sevetar I had previously listened to ‘Prince of Crows’ and ‘The long night’. But a lot also comes from just learning about Warhammer over the years so unfortunately some is from memory.
I think that the Night Lords and Dark Angels had a very specific tie to each other. They were the last resorts. Night Lords would force a world to obey through terror and messy bloodshed, the Dark Angels would make species that no one else could best disappear at whatever cost.
The Lion and Curze had a lot in common. both were raised outside of culture; fighting against monsters; one monsters (Lion) the other all to human (Curze). They both struggled to engage with the others; very pessimistic men who were always outside the others. The Lion, bred to be a mini emperor; the other a man who was designed to be judge and executioner. All of their brothers looked at them as to savage and realistic to the task at hand. Interesting dynamic between them.

You are officially the best warhammer channel, you might not have the most content yet but your videos are rivaled by few and better than them in my opinion. Especially your Primarch videos, those truly keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time
Huh. As a Romanian myself, i had never thought to compare Vlad to the Night lords. I suppose in a way they are similar. Difference is, he wasn't an insane murderer, he did what he did from love for his country and his disgust with corrupt traitors and criminals. And the Ottomans demonized him for it. He is respected and considered a great king and ruler by most Romanians. I visited his castle a while ago.
Just discovered your channel and already subbed. I’ve been a fan of 40k for over 30 years, which is basically down to the lore, characters and stories, which you have really injected some passion and empathy into with your narrations. Keep up the fantastic work, I for one really appreciate it👍
You make amazing videos my friend.. I like the individual by individual approach to the lore way more then it all being pooled in together.. this video for example was truly awesome for it was about my favorite 30k character and went in depth on just him mostly.. Keep up the amazing work and you will be a top Warhammer lore channel I have no doubt.
Thank you man. I think a lot of these characters deserve an in depth look, even if there may not be a huge amount of lore on them. I do these videos part time as I work but have got plenty in the pipeline.
Well done. Not only that but now I like sevatar! Also, I actually like that your cadence and pauses. Some people like to speak nonstop with the same cadence and I just zone out sometimes as a result. But your way helps my mind pay attention
Great video. You did absolute masterpieces for two of favorite characters in all of 40k. This one on the Prince of Crows and your other equally awesome video about the Raven Lord Corvas Corax. Keep it up 👍 great content. Earned my subscription instantly.
@@TheAmberKing I totally agree. In fact, I feel like the smaller characters are generally more interesting than the main characters in 40k. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but the main characters are one dimensional. Sevatar on the other hand is very complex. He's a like-able villain, which is odd in a universe where even the heroes are hard to admire.
Came over from inquisitor A.B Prince (a border prince) and his glorious iteration of so very much of him on the thrones history , realm and legends . A truly great growing 40k Lord channel Whose voice acting makes it just that bit special. I'm glad I was advised by the good inquisitor because so Far this is also really great stuff . Ave imperator.
And that ending is one of the reasons why the Night Lords are the only, none Loyalist legion that I truly like. Both Conrad and Jago could have been so much more if they were shown a shred of kindness early on. Jago received the help that he needed in the end, while Conrad did not.
I wish there was more regarding HORUS, i can dream. Thanks for what you do Amber King. Its always been fan content that kept me enjoying Warhammer all these decades.
Probably one of the coolest characters in all of Warhammer. It's a really big shame that his character isn't fleshed out more. The authors of Games workshop could definitely create some really interesting books about him it's a shame. GREAT VIDEO 👍
@@allomax1311 bot Sevatar and Cruze actually align much more closely to true anti-heroes rather than villians, but at the least they could be villians that you almost agree with. If you want a hallmark/disney-grade bad guy, you’re gunna wanna look at a different universe. Only Horus and Abaddon move slightly in their direction, but even they have their rational. 40k doesn’t have bad guys, which is why the universe is SO GOOD.
@@netherane Interesting, now someone hold my chainblade. I'll start with Curze. He built a throne out of living human flesh, he skinned alive a nostroman woman for the sin of wanting to end her own life, he commited mass genocide on the planet of his birth wiping it tiny little dust particles. If those things dont make him a "bad guy" then tell me what does.
Sevatar is probably the sole Space Marine which: 1.) was more respected than his Primarch. 2.) literally forced his Primarch to listen to the "why you are miserable failure" speech. 3.) as a result of 2. , Conrad misses him by the end of the Horus Heresy (lol) when he's dead/missing. I believe that in the end of the HH he will join the Imperium and probably be asked to form the Inquisition.
lol, no way he would join the imperium, the imperium is too corrupt and bureaucratic to let sev do what he needs to do to be himself. I'm 100% with u on the fact that he would forge his own path away from the traitors and the imperium. Although im skeptical that GW would bring him back. After Talos, I forsee GW trying to give us similar sevatar 2.0 characters
Sorry for the dead thread reply, Curze knows of when Sev dies and always held it over him as he did his own end. His question to his son's was "Where is he, I know the only one I like isn't dead why tf isn't he here to make fun of me."
@@TheAmberKing It's brilliant. I love the ethereal ambiance you provide. For example, my favorite is Oculus Imperia but you have climbed up the ranks with Only War's "Imperiums most wanted" series. But whereas Occys videos are immersive, yours are genuinely calming and I truly thank you for it.
It is very clear by the all the hints in the HH books and later in the Space Sharks novels that Sevatar is the first Chapter Master of the Carcharodons Astra. They are exiles, they hunt in the dark and they call their first Chapter Master the Forgotten One. Curze had a vision of Sevatar leading a chapter of grey clad Marines in the void hunting the xenos and traitors and that vision came true.
@That Guy wrong. read what I wrote. Sevatar's final story so far in the Heresy literally has him seeing himself leading a fight against the xenos and traitor in the outer dark for the Imperium. The Shawks also use a ton of old Heresy gear, their geneseed is confirmed to be both Night Lord and Raven Guard and the only reason they have RG seed is from trading with the Ashen Claws.
@That Guy there's no real evidence they are RG else GW would just say they were RG successor. It is confirmed they are chimeric gene seed with NL and RG. The evidence shows they are NL originally and got RG seed from the Ashen Claws. I am part of the Space Shark community and no, the majority does NOT think they are RG. Most think they are NL and some think they are World Eater of all things. You can believe they are RG if you want.
Did you even read the Outer Dark and Red Tithe novel? They are literally hinted as Raven Guard decents of those who was banished by Corvus Corax for being too brutal. They are a splinter force from the Banished Ravens now Ashen Claws with them having a shaky relationship and almost about to tear each other's throats only stopped bounded by their ancient oaths when they need each other's backs. Sure it might be possible that Sevatar might came across them and founded the Space Sharks with their vindication against the enemies of Mankind in the void and with them being referred to as "Brothers" by the Night Lords Their geneseed is a literal mess as they are TRUE nomads who repair and salvage everything to be self sufficient.
@@JudicialBrat I've read all of the Space Sharks novels and short stories. I've spoken with the author as well about them. I know that Space Sharks have chimeric geneseed from original Night Lords loyalists and later the Raven Guard geneseed they traded to get from Ashen Claws.
Bring him back. Ten though years in the warp,he’s unaged. He’s been fighting for ten thousand years. He fights kharn to a draw. He’s now a demigod he the equivalent of a primarch. Reforms the night lords bringing the emperor’s wrath to all his enemies. Justice through absolute violence.
I don’t understand why your channel is where it’s at, and someone like Majorkill is where he is. You clearly know the lore and present it in an excellent, informative fashion for adults. He doesn’t know anything, reads some lore he memorizes, then puts out a video about it. His video of this would be 5 minutes long, with only 3 minutes of content, and would mostly consist of jokes about him “penetrating” his enemies. Well done sir.
I think the best thing about Sevatar was the ending we don't know what happened to him and there are some great theories but if you just leave it as he went to hunt the people who hurt innocent it's a neat and happy ending. Not gonna lie my head cannon was that he went with Altani (sorry if I miswritten it) founded a happy life in a backwater planet and find a scattered night Lords he trained them to be justice and those Marines went on to become Cacharadons. You didn't had to kill him. Yes but it suited me.
recently listened to the silent hunters and not gonna lie, their philosophy and fight tactics doesn't correlate with the prince of crows. i wish there was some closure for sev as he's by far my fav char, but hopefully GW is saving it for later stories, same like dorn - first dead, now not dead, just missing - aka grounds for future lore.
@@crazzywasp I have also read the Silent Hunters and do not let my words judge our disscusion but I have heard its a bad novel I enjoyed it but if we need more on how Carcharadons fight we both need to read the other 2 Charcaradon Novels Red Tithe and Outer Dark in those novels I heard from Genetic Heritage of Carcharadons by 40k Theories that a Night Lord Leader says oh these tactics are very similar to ours and later on a Night Lord Sorcerer speaks with a Daemon replies they are your lost brothers. So I say if one of us reads those two novels we should comeback to inform each other at a later date.
This was awesome please you must give me more. Dude seriously nicely done. You should do the Lion. I love how long it was to many of these are so short. Any way before I ramble good job and keep up the good work.
Excellent. I only wish it was a longer story. Never knew anything about this man as I haven't yet read any of the books. Will do so sometime in the future.
Yessss!! been waiting for ages for a new video! Btw did you make changes to your audio setup? notice you've moved away from the slow/relaxing narration style ,even your mic has changed? The way you narrated the omegon video was perfect. Anyway,more war stories would be great. The way you covered the badab war in the huron blackheart video was excellent. Eisenhorn would be a great shout as well. Thank you very much for these videos.
New microphone so hopefully the audio quality was better. Moved away a little from the relaxation style, trying to get a balance between relaxing and clear consistent delivery. I love Eisenhorn myself and I have plans for him in the future. Thank you for the support, always see you commenting and really appreciate it.
@@TheAmberKing No worries mate, it still sounds good. Just listened to your video several times because I like to hear it again to see if I missed some things. I love how you analyse and convey things and add your own interpretations. You're not just reading from a wiki like some 40k youtubers. It's really quality stuff you're putting out here and I really hope your channel takes off.
Sadly, he's one of those characters who actually just disappeared and we now know nothing of. There is nothing about him after the heresy, not even so much as a confirmation of his death.
nice video man, keep em coming. does anyone know how sevatar's story ends? i read somewhere he was one of the last champions slain by Sigismund but that seems to have been retconned. so any idea what's next for the prince of crows?
_Sev._ An affectionate moniker bestowed by, to say the very fkn least, the Primarch most unsuited to affection out of all the brothers. By _The Night Haunter._ By goddamn space Dracula, for *Emperor's* sake! That's what I call literally making a name for yourself... by being outstanding amongst the most sick, twisted, brutally efficient superhuman warriors in a brutal galaxy. Respect, Sevitarion Snape, respect.
Fan casting, here, but in my mind, Mads Mikkelsen is Kurze and Norman Reedus is Sev. They both have a certain cynical fatalism and derisive fell humor that seems to fit the characters, as I interpret.
I used to hate him cause i hated the emps children cause of istvan but i read his afew of his novels and now i have a new found repect for him. Brilliant complex character.
as a shadow stalked among the macragges honor, sitting in his quarters in his busyness, guilaman sensed the shadow "show yourself,assasin." the shadow was silent until he spoke "i have no intention of silencing you, guilaman. besides. not even i can hurt a primarch." the shadow,showed himself,as the prince of crows showed himself. guilaman looked at sevatar with a modicum of disdain "why are you here,sevatar?" sevatar from the shadow of his cloak showed guilaman the crown "what's left of my father resides in the gem of the crown. we had our diferences avenging son. but allow the night lords one last true request. let our father rest. or even rebirth." guilaman saw and recognized the crown. "...i see. ....i shall bid to keep this crown safe. but tell me. what will you do,even as you once betrayed us?" sevatar looked back "i will cleanse the night lords madness. even if i must fall. ave dominous nox roboute guilimen. and may your father give you better fortune then we ever would." sevatar steped back into darkness and like that...was gone. and guilaman looked at the crown "well,konrad. it seems your sons still uphold your legacy. much like...many of our surving brothers...." to be continued...
I always have my own headcannon and idea for a game story that sevatar found curzes crown that had an elder gem in which contained his soul, would be cool for a shadow of war type game aslong as it wasn't bogged down by monetisation. But sadly the table top comes first
I used to hate ADB for ending Sevatar's story, but after years of sitting with it and listening to Konrad's, Sevatar's, and the VIIIth Legion's story I'm starting to be ok with it. It's hard to explain but there's something fitting about it, poetic even.
Just saying if people evolved in accordance to sun exposure they’re eyes would be light/ blue etc not black or dark that’s why Europeans for example have blue eyes especially in colder climates where there is less sunlight and when you go down south where it’s hotter and more sun people have darker eyes and skin so they got the skin tone right lol. Anyway thanks amber king always great listening to you can’t wait for more lore stories especially regarding traitors 🙌
It's weird how Sevatar basically goes from blood thirsty traitor to 40k Batman. I love this character.
I agree! Jago knew his purpose was never meant to be some bloodthirsty psychopath. Moreover he was meant to be a sort of judge for the guilty,jury for wicked, and executioner for the criminal. So that the innocent can rest and be safe under his protection.(just in my opinion of course)

Just discovered your channel and already subbed. I’ve been a fan of 40k for over 30 years, which is basically down to the lore, characters and stories, which you have really injected some passion and empathy into with your narrations. Keep up the fantastic work, I for one really appreciate it👍
You make amazing videos my friend.. I like the individual by individual approach to the lore way more then it all being pooled in together.. this video for example was truly awesome for it was about my favorite 30k character and went in depth on just him mostly.. Keep up the amazing work and you will be a top Warhammer lore channel I have no doubt.
Thank you man. I think a lot of these characters deserve an in depth look, even if there may not be a huge amount of lore on them. I do these videos part time as I work but have got plenty in the pipeline.
Well done. Not only that but now I like sevatar! Also, I actually like that your cadence and pauses. Some people like to speak nonstop with the same cadence and I just zone out sometimes as a result. But your way helps my mind pay attention
Love the aesthetic thumbnails, super distinct
Great video. You did absolute masterpieces for two of favorite characters in all of 40k. This one on the Prince of Crows and your other equally awesome video about the Raven Lord Corvas Corax. Keep it up 👍 great content. Earned my subscription instantly.
i agree, thanks for the suggestion for the Corax video
Great video! Thanks for sharing with the community. Sevatar is one of my absolute favorite characters in the 40k universe.
Thank you very much. Some of the small characters in 40k are super interesting even if they don’t have a huge amount of lore.
@@TheAmberKing I totally agree. In fact, I feel like the smaller characters are generally more interesting than the main characters in 40k. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but the main characters are one dimensional. Sevatar on the other hand is very complex. He's a like-able villain, which is odd in a universe where even the heroes are hard to admire.
Brilliant. Just watched all your videos over the last two days and loved them. Please keep them coming👍.
Thank you. Don’t worry I have more coming soon.
This channel is going to do well. Great editing, narration and music
Came over from inquisitor A.B Prince (a border prince) and his glorious iteration of so very much of him on the thrones history , realm and legends . A truly great growing 40k Lord channel
Whose voice acting makes it just that bit special. I'm glad I was advised by the good inquisitor because so Far this is also really great stuff . Ave imperator.
And that ending is one of the reasons why the Night Lords are the only, none Loyalist legion that I truly like. Both Conrad and Jago could have been so much more if they were shown a shred of kindness early on. Jago received the help that he needed in the end, while Conrad did not.
"I intend to shed some light..."
"The Night Haunter bringing light?....And here I thought I had seen everything....."
I wish there was more regarding HORUS, i can dream.
Thanks for what you do Amber King. Its always been fan content that kept me enjoying Warhammer all these decades.
Probably one of the coolest characters in all of Warhammer. It's a really big shame that his character isn't fleshed out more. The authors of Games workshop could definitely create some really interesting books about him it's a shame. GREAT VIDEO 👍
i agree. both Sevatar and Curze deserved so much more content. GW missed out on the chance to have a really genuine bad guy .
He deserves he’s own trilogy.
@@allomax1311 bot Sevatar and Cruze actually align much more closely to true anti-heroes rather than villians, but at the least they could be villians that you almost agree with.
If you want a hallmark/disney-grade bad guy, you’re gunna wanna look at a different universe. Only Horus and Abaddon move slightly in their direction, but even they have their rational.
40k doesn’t have bad guys, which is why the universe is SO GOOD.
@@netherane Interesting, now someone hold my chainblade. I'll start with Curze. He built a throne out of living human flesh, he skinned alive a nostroman woman for the sin of wanting to end her own life, he commited mass genocide on the planet of his birth wiping it tiny little dust particles. If those things dont make him a "bad guy" then tell me what does.
Can’t wait to see you hit 100k. Your videos are amazing.
Thank you so much!
holaaay shiiiettt i stumbled upon this goldmine of a channel! You are awesome i love these lore videos
Thank you for the character study of my favourite Astartes from the heresy era
The Prince of Crows is absolutely the best.
Great Channel, Great work, keep it up.
I am new here and here i will stay for a while
My favorite character ever. I love him. This wonderful work is perfect to describe such a complex character.
" I am justice, I am judgment , I am punishment."
And I ……. Surrender
@@totallynotalpharius2283 alphie...youre alive? But how?
you and Oculus Imperia are my favorite 40k youtubers. I'd love to see you guys team up sometime
Well done, I look forward to many more.
Excellent video, again. Really impressive.
Thank you man, I see you commenting on a lot of my stuff. Really appreciate it!
Sevatar is probably the sole Space Marine which:
1.) was more respected than his Primarch.
2.) literally forced his Primarch to listen to the "why you are miserable failure" speech.
3.) as a result of 2. , Conrad misses him by the end of the Horus Heresy (lol) when he's dead/missing.
I believe that in the end of the HH he will join the Imperium and probably be asked to form the Inquisition.
lol, no way he would join the imperium, the imperium is too corrupt and bureaucratic to let sev do what he needs to do to be himself. I'm 100% with u on the fact that he would forge his own path away from the traitors and the imperium. Although im skeptical that GW would bring him back. After Talos, I forsee GW trying to give us similar sevatar 2.0 characters
I still believe a part of him was responsible for the Carchadons, doing what's best. By causing mayhem on the outskirts of Imperial space.
Sorry for the dead thread reply, Curze knows of when Sev dies and always held it over him as he did his own end. His question to his son's was "Where is he, I know the only one I like isn't dead why tf isn't he here to make fun of me."
Sevitar is one of my favorites really looking forward to a redemption arc book if possible
Excellent work Sir.
Would like to see your take on Eisenhorn or Nathaniel Garro.
Pray continue in the Emperor's name.
"He again failed to Connect to His Brothers" Shows Picture of Sevatar with a human face in His hand
This was beautiful.
Well done. A great synopsis on this character.
It's like 40k ASMR and I want that.
A happy accident on my part.
@@TheAmberKing It's brilliant. I love the ethereal ambiance you provide. For example, my favorite is Oculus Imperia but you have climbed up the ranks with Only War's "Imperiums most wanted" series.
But whereas Occys videos are immersive, yours are genuinely calming and I truly thank you for it.
It is very clear by the all the hints in the HH books and later in the Space Sharks novels that Sevatar is the first Chapter Master of the Carcharodons Astra. They are exiles, they hunt in the dark and they call their first Chapter Master the Forgotten One. Curze had a vision of Sevatar leading a chapter of grey clad Marines in the void hunting the xenos and traitors and that vision came true.
@That Guy wrong. read what I wrote. Sevatar's final story so far in the Heresy literally has him seeing himself leading a fight against the xenos and traitor in the outer dark for the Imperium. The Shawks also use a ton of old Heresy gear, their geneseed is confirmed to be both Night Lord and Raven Guard and the only reason they have RG seed is from trading with the Ashen Claws.
@That Guy there's no real evidence they are RG else GW would just say they were RG successor. It is confirmed they are chimeric gene seed with NL and RG. The evidence shows they are NL originally and got RG seed from the Ashen Claws. I am part of the Space Shark community and no, the majority does NOT think they are RG. Most think they are NL and some think they are World Eater of all things. You can believe they are RG if you want.
Did you even read the Outer Dark and Red Tithe novel? They are literally hinted as Raven Guard decents of those who was banished by Corvus Corax for being too brutal.
They are a splinter force from the Banished Ravens now Ashen Claws with them having a shaky relationship and almost about to tear each other's throats only stopped bounded by their ancient oaths when they need each other's backs.
Sure it might be possible that Sevatar might came across them and founded the Space Sharks with their vindication against the enemies of Mankind in the void and with them being referred to as "Brothers" by the Night Lords
Their geneseed is a literal mess as they are TRUE nomads who repair and salvage everything to be self sufficient.
@@JudicialBrat I've read all of the Space Sharks novels and short stories. I've spoken with the author as well about them. I know that Space Sharks have chimeric geneseed from original Night Lords loyalists and later the Raven Guard geneseed they traded to get from Ashen Claws.
Man, ive just found your channel and I love it! You got your self a new sub.
Bring him back. Ten though years in the warp,he’s unaged. He’s been fighting for ten thousand years. He fights kharn to a draw. He’s now a demigod he the equivalent of a primarch. Reforms the night lords bringing the emperor’s wrath to all his enemies. Justice through absolute violence.
Missed my favorite part after he got revenge for the girl.
"And... I surrender"
I don’t understand why your channel is where it’s at, and someone like Majorkill is where he is. You clearly know the lore and present it in an excellent, informative fashion for adults. He doesn’t know anything, reads some lore he memorizes, then puts out a video about it. His video of this would be 5 minutes long, with only 3 minutes of content, and would mostly consist of jokes about him “penetrating” his enemies. Well done sir.
I think the best thing about Sevatar was the ending we don't know what happened to him and there are some great theories but if you just leave it as he went to hunt the people who hurt innocent it's a neat and happy ending. Not gonna lie my head cannon was that he went with Altani (sorry if I miswritten it) founded a happy life in a backwater planet and find a scattered night Lords he trained them to be justice and those Marines went on to become Cacharadons.
You didn't had to kill him.
Yes but it suited me.
recently listened to the silent hunters and not gonna lie, their philosophy and fight tactics doesn't correlate with the prince of crows. i wish there was some closure for sev as he's by far my fav char, but hopefully GW is saving it for later stories, same like dorn - first dead, now not dead, just missing - aka grounds for future lore.
@@crazzywasp I have also read the Silent Hunters and do not let my words judge our disscusion but I have heard its a bad novel I enjoyed it but if we need more on how Carcharadons fight we both need to read the other 2 Charcaradon Novels Red Tithe and Outer Dark in those novels I heard from Genetic Heritage of Carcharadons by 40k Theories that a Night Lord Leader says oh these tactics are very similar to ours and later on a Night Lord Sorcerer speaks with a Daemon replies they are your lost brothers. So I say if one of us reads those two novels we should comeback to inform each other at a later date.
Great video, as always.
Thank you very much.
Epically narrated!
Night Lords: Our own Primarch despises us. Do you have any idea what that's like?
Iron Warriors: Pffffffffftt
World Eaters: *SUPER angry noises*
Possible he formed chapter Charcdons space sharks. They also have black eyes pale skin like night lords.
This was awesome please you must give me more. Dude seriously nicely done. You should do the Lion. I love how long it was to many of these are so short. Any way before I ramble good job and keep up the good work.
Just found your channel and I really enjoy your narroration voice
Excellent. I only wish it was a longer story. Never knew anything about this man as I haven't yet read any of the books. Will do so sometime in the future.
Outstanding content and fantastic narration sir! I shall subscribe and I applaud your work, bravo!
This channel needs more subs 💯
One of my Favorite characters. You did it right. Subbed and shared.
Yessss!! been waiting for ages for a new video! Btw did you make changes to your audio setup? notice you've moved away from the slow/relaxing narration style ,even your mic has changed? The way you narrated the omegon video was perfect. Anyway,more war stories would be great. The way you covered the badab war in the huron blackheart video was excellent. Eisenhorn would be a great shout as well. Thank you very much for these videos.
New microphone so hopefully the audio quality was better. Moved away a little from the relaxation style, trying to get a balance between relaxing and clear consistent delivery. I love Eisenhorn myself and I have plans for him in the future. Thank you for the support, always see you commenting and really appreciate it.
@@TheAmberKing No worries mate, it still sounds good. Just listened to your video several times because I like to hear it again to see if I missed some things. I love how you analyse and convey things and add your own interpretations. You're not just reading from a wiki like some 40k youtubers. It's really quality stuff you're putting out here and I really hope your channel takes off.
The tragedy of the night lords is that they never got a skin in warhammer 40k space marine.
Love your work man!
Is he still alive? Is there more lore about him? Great vid man! Keep up the awesome work
Sadly, he's one of those characters who actually just disappeared and we now know nothing of. There is nothing about him after the heresy, not even so much as a confirmation of his death.
Came from Heresyposting. Subbed.
Thank very much, not familiar with Heresyposting is that a website or thread?
@@TheAmberKing Facebook group
Cool, to whoever posted there it is very kind of them so if they see this thank you also.
Night lord lore is so heartbreaking. I think it reflects alot of modern individual dilemmas. My favorite legion, albeit a tool, knows thyself.
nice video man, keep em coming. does anyone know how sevatar's story ends? i read somewhere he was one of the last champions slain by Sigismund but that seems to have been retconned. so any idea what's next for the prince of crows?
I never felt like sev was evil. Just too loyal
he was as evil as he needed to be to control a legion of murderers psychophants, he didnt take pleasure from his deeds
_Sev._ An affectionate moniker bestowed by, to say the very fkn least, the Primarch most unsuited to affection out of all the brothers. By _The Night Haunter._
By goddamn space Dracula, for *Emperor's* sake!
That's what I call literally making a name for yourself... by being outstanding amongst the most sick, twisted, brutally efficient superhuman warriors in a brutal galaxy.
Respect, Sevitarion Snape, respect.
I know 40k has weird name pronunciation but I'm certain it's a hard J sound rather than Y in the Jago pronounce
Fan casting, here, but in my mind, Mads Mikkelsen is Kurze and Norman Reedus is Sev. They both have a certain cynical fatalism and derisive fell humor that seems to fit the characters, as I interpret.
These are perfect to listen to while I cook Sunday dinner 😆
My suggestion is Fab Bill for I am a big fan
Fabius is such an interesting character, I definitely have my eye on him.
I used to hate him cause i hated the emps children cause of istvan but i read his afew of his novels and now i have a new found repect for him. Brilliant complex character.
@@TK-qg5tf totally agree 👍
Sev and Talos are 2 of my favourite characters in all of 40k
That was badass bro. That was great. Sevitar is my favorite 40k character. Can you do honsou?
as a shadow stalked among the macragges honor, sitting in his quarters in his busyness, guilaman sensed the shadow
"show yourself,assasin."
the shadow was silent until he spoke
"i have no intention of silencing you, guilaman. besides. not even i can hurt a primarch."
the shadow,showed himself,as the prince of crows showed himself. guilaman looked at sevatar with a modicum of disdain
"why are you here,sevatar?"
sevatar from the shadow of his cloak showed guilaman the crown
"what's left of my father resides in the gem of the crown. we had our diferences avenging son. but allow the night lords one last true request. let our father rest. or even rebirth."
guilaman saw and recognized the crown.
"...i see. ....i shall bid to keep this crown safe. but tell me. what will you do,even as you once betrayed us?"
sevatar looked back
"i will cleanse the night lords madness. even if i must fall. ave dominous nox roboute guilimen. and may your father give you better fortune then we ever would."
sevatar steped back into darkness and like that...was gone. and guilaman looked at the crown
"well,konrad. it seems your sons still uphold your legacy. much like...many of our surving brothers...."
to be continued...
You should do one about ghazghkull thraka
We wait for you still, First Captain. Until the last of the 8th chokes their hate into the dust.
I always have my own headcannon and idea for a game story that sevatar found curzes crown that had an elder gem in which contained his soul, would be cool for a shadow of war type game aslong as it wasn't bogged down by monetisation. But sadly the table top comes first
I used to hate ADB for ending Sevatar's story, but after years of sitting with it and listening to Konrad's, Sevatar's, and the VIIIth Legion's story I'm starting to be ok with it. It's hard to explain but there's something fitting about it, poetic even.
The Rise of the ruthless vigilante
BATMAN!!!
Just saying if people evolved in accordance to sun exposure they’re eyes would be light/ blue etc not black or dark that’s why Europeans for example have blue eyes especially in colder climates where there is less sunlight and when you go down south where it’s hotter and more sun people have darker eyes and skin so they got the skin tone right lol. Anyway thanks amber king always great listening to you can’t wait for more lore stories especially regarding traitors 🙌
what's the name of the music? in the end of the video.
Anyone knows what the music that plays at 22:38 it?
Damn dude, please keep making content.
please make one video about the bromance of kharn and argel tal
Love the video.
Just have one question: What is "Desicration"?
Thank you! Desecration means to destroy something sacred e.g vandalising a gravestone
