      Very much appreciated! I'm still working on the next version of this voice model, really trying to get it to sound generally calmer, but the whole process is taking longer than expected. I've got some ideas on how to speed it up, mainly by training it on transformed versions of my own voice, but until it matches the overall tone of this current model then it'll remain on the backburner

      ​@@Scholarslore I'm often blown away by the voice and sometimes the reads really surprise me with its character, it should be available for elocution and diction lessons online lol. I had to clip a bit of the odd boyz sermon because the character in the voice when it said "now let us go to...and see who dwells within" it was such an interesting way it was said and how expressive(?) it was so unlike what someone would expect from a voice model...definitely top tier work! 👏🏼👏🏼...[edit] Zeal is the word I was looking for, he's got to have a bit of zeal for he is all that closer to the blessed Golden Throne than we pitiful underlings.

    It’s very odd that the Death Spectres are of Raven Guard stock. While the Raven Guard are not particularly known for being benevolent to mortal humans, they were very antagonistic towards any form of slavery and oppression for its own sake. Corax especially despised cruel servitude and named the moon he landed upon ‘Deliverance’ after nuking the forge world that was oppressing the moon’s miners and workers and freeing them. The Raven Guard themselves often ambush and eliminate corrupt Imperial governors and Chaos leaders that are enslaving people.
    While being in the Ghoul Stars and well away from the eyes of the Emperor and his servants could help explain how they get away with their behavior, it doesn’t really explain why they engage in it to begin with. It would make more sense if they have fallen to Chaos, but even then, Chaos wouldn’t bother with the breeding program song and dance. They’d just murder and enslave without care to replace the humans that are lost. No other Chaos space marine warband gets new aspirants this way.

    The Ghoul Stars are my favourite place in the galaxy. The mystery, the bloodshed and the worry of what's contained within leaves a lot to the imagination which is especially enticing in the 40k universe where it seems like nothing could ever be unknown or so extreme where it's expunged from all records as it was with the Nova chapter.
    I know the easy answer is Necron tomb world and countless xenos which is frightening enough on their own but that doesn't truly explain all that's transpired within the sector.

    The Exorcists were created during the dark founding using Regal Dorns gene seed. They were an imperial secret experiment to create Marines resistant to possession and corruption. As part of the initiation, they are subjected to become a daemonhost for a time. Then are purged by an Inquisitor.
    They also have 12 chapters instead of the usual 10. The other two being extra scouts. Their home world is "Banish", and their monastery contains a sect of the Ordo Malleus which use daemonic possession as a weapon to hunt down other daemons.
