I think there was a ending where in Rogue Trader Cassia could have become a High Lord. Also the High Lord in charge of Astronomicon can in theory kill the emperor.
Lord Fadix was coordinating with the Captain General, Valoris. Its hinted thrhoughout the book that Valoris knows way more than he tells even his other custodians to keep the image of the custodes as an entirely independent organization separate from imperial politics. Fadix did exactly as Valdor knew he would, and was a badass doing it, as he literally stood on the podium by the traitor lords while his vindicare assasins took their heads off.
The only things I know about the High Lords of Terra * old cybrogs * just ok enough at their jobs to prevent the Imperium from exploding * The minotaurs obey them/are their lap cows. * TTS made them funni *
Guilliman’s atheism has nothing on Fabius Bile. FB stared down Slaanesh and basically told her to her face that she does not exist, even as she was about to crush the life out of him. I’m still trying to come up with my final takeaway from that story.
Nah not even that, he looked her straight in the face, got a heart attack, jumped by several panic attacks, and stood back up and called her a punk for her efforts
@@jamesf3871 The man is technically correct. The gods and demons are just byproducts of emotions. Spiritual hazmat. It's just that those figments of imagination can be pretty insistent at times.
>The virgin Fabulous Bill Dies multiple times from getting looked at by Slaanesh >The Chad word bearer Gets willingly possessed by Slaanesh to kill a bunch of dark eldar then gets his body back.
I would say 1 possible takeaway is that slaanesh either choose to let him believe he is not her puppet too by letzing him play in control some more out of pure entertainment to see him squirm and deny it to himself out of sadistic pleasure OR That he is infact right about the chaos gods and sonwere malcador and the emperor in that the gods are no true contiousnes but rather what the mortals fueling them with their emotions imagine that „god“ would act like. Basically not having thoughts or making choices perse but rather ordering things you yourself expect your dark evil god to order you. A sort of cycle of self fullfilling prophecy and when you are stern enough to deny they have power even in the face of it the cannot touch you. That would also explain how the sisters of battle can cause miricals without being psykers cause they use the same concept of extreme emotion projected to the warp but leaking into reality. And it would explain why a priest can ban a demon by invocing a corpse on terra but being so sure of it working that this assuredness makes it work. The orks would then be basically the same fundamental thing as well just that their works on non warp things as well to a degree
Valdor, while being held down by 8 sons of Horus terminators and stabbed, punched a terminator armored Astartes captain to death in less time than it took them to grab his arm again.
28:33 the Chruch was largely responsible for maintaining our pre-existing knowledge and attempting further advancement. We didn't record much because entire towns were dying in plagues and raids
there were still a lot of records as to what was happening either from bureaucracy, personal correspondance, diaries, the church sure and a buttload of commissioned work which is skewed in favour of the person who commissioned it. also advancement never stopped, it's just renaissance slander against "the dark ages" because they didn't have a lot of good art.
Short history: The dark age, for the most part, only applies to a small period in northern Europe after the collapse of the western Roman empire. About 200 years until the 800s with the arrival of historians such as Bede and the revolutions in literature that are the romances during the Carolignian revolution. The biggest reason is that few documents are copied down already, and pretty much every manuscript of a major roman or Greek work is from the middle ages, not the classical period, because of time eroding them. In Italy and others, this never happened, and writing remained at the pace of pre collapse of the western half of Rome. I.e. what survived survived because copying anything sufficiently long can take months. These facts led to the term dark age being abandoned and only really existing during the Rennisance and through Edward Gibbons as an exaggeration of the perceived backwardsness of thought and bad assumptions that perceived high quality literature survives. Fun fact, we do not have the other major works of the epic cycle, which contains the works of Homer, the sequels to prometheus bound, the histories written by Emperor Claudius, several major works of Historians or the first poems written in Latin. But we have the Fabulae, a grammarian's oversimplification of myth for school boys. Works only survive if you can make copies, and sometimes you just don't know what to copy until it's too late.
I feel that Bones got good memory, so he will pick up little facts and rumors from chatting with people but is not diligent enough to follow up and make sure it is actual fact. So in the end he sort of becomes a vector for Snapple cap level of "kickass fact of the day"
I still think it's really funny how The High Lords tried to stage a coup against Guilliman. "Ah yes,let's try and overthrow a Primarch! Nothing could go wrong!" Flawless Logic 😂
1:50 plus the Custodes (apart from Guilliman) are the ones that are trusted to know everything that is possibly going on in the imperium, as they are the bodies and voice of the emperor himself. So even though Trajann or the Captain-General isn’t available. There will always be Custodes present, whether in the form of a council member or a witness:
Baldermort has one about the High Lords in general. Less about the individual people and more about how inhuman and dangerous anyone in such a position would wind up being.
Dude, the church literally kept as much ancient works as they could, there's not much written record because the barbarians that took over western Europe were illiterate. But in the east they still have many records from that exact time period and the church didn't stop people from writing them
There are probably quite a few Irish monks who spent their lives copying down as many ancient texts that they could rolling in their graves every time someone says something like what Bones said.

Mr, Bones 40K with a bolter to my head: Me: "The Video is great! I love Mr Bones!" Fr been loving the flair you put to the Warhammer 40k lore! Look forward to seeing your channel succeed!
Hello... So there was a retcon in 2021 where they moved Plague War from occurring 100 years after the start of the Indomitus Crusade at it's end, to occurring 12 years after it began with no End in sight. Guy Haley updated the chronology to be more in line with the larger Dawn of Fire series that continues on after the Plague Wars series. The closest we have to an end point of the Indomitus Crusade are the events at the end of Devastation of Baal, and the dates associated with that are still pretty tenuous as it coincided with the opening of the Great Rift, and Baal's distance from Terra already made date keeping difficult. One of the Plot Lines in the Dawn of Fire series, and Rogue Trader book was the hunt for additional stable routes through the rift. As far to this point, they've not found a route besides the Nachmund Gauntlet. Considering it's relatively Coreward position it's likely the route they took. As far as I know there is no Novel or stories that directly discus Guiliman and Cawl traversing the rift yet. DoF is still pursuing a path across, and the Cawl, Trazyn, and Bile novels appear to have the of them on a collision course exploring noctolith on a Time Stuck Necron world, which I think is flushed out a bit in the events of the Pariah Nexus (2024) game supplements.
@TheExostranger. I remember that subplot The Marty's tomb because Mistress Helvinter was looking for her daughter and "head" of her rogue trader houser near the supposed Gap but I didn't think the route was confirmed at the time
To be fair even warhammer leans onto that as a comedy “The dark ages, advances beyond what we can even create or imagine and the horrors we brought… ah yes, better to forget.”
mr bone guy you are prob my favorite warhammer content man at this point. i love how you talk and add to conversations without repeating the same stuff.
Not all change is progress. Sending Custodes away from Terra leaves the throne less guarded. It's literally moving elite, indispensable, difficult to replace forces, away from your single most important asset. Yeah they can probably get a lot done out in the galaxy but that amounts to nothing if the throne gets eaten by tyranids in the meantime.
Nah. Terra’s safe. They’re NEVER letting the Imperium suffer a blow like that. Remember: this franchise is owned by a company that literally ripped the Imperium in half and only made them stronger. Even if GW tries to AoS 40K, they’d never let Terra fall to the xenos.
@@SoldadoCatolico No you can't, because Watsonian reasoning requires Watsonian information. The characters cannot make decisions based on information that does not exist in their world. Do you brain?
28:30 no, it was because Roman Empire fell and all civilised secular administration alongsside dissapeared. It was acctually a church that helped rebuild literacy so at the end of middle ages majority of people was teached how to read
Yeah, that's why said church went ballistic when some dude translated the most read book of the time. God forbid (pun not intended) that people understand, even before reading for themselves, what's in there.
@@matt_9112 Yeah it isn't absolutely that protestants were cutting off parts of the bibble and mistranslating it on purpose. Not to mention that uneducated peasants knew social reality of acient Israel
This is the same church that controlled every aspect surrounding the information of the Bible. I don’t think the peasants could speak or understand Latin
Every one of them would have to be super geniuses far greater than anything current humans could imagine with added augmentations, operating against things you and I couldn't understand on a scale we cannot fathom. You'd need every single diagnosis in all of the books to do what they do long term😂 the level of delusional confidence would put greek mythological figures to shame
Not on the medieval darkages, the church was very much very pro writing everything… The church was just horrible understaffed in relation to its need. Also lot of what was written was lost in the high and late middleages, where old manuscripts often would be cannibalized for bookbinding af new books
The big boss psyker isn’t important because psykers he’s important because he’s basically the phone company. The imperium could survive if it just fed every psyker to the astronomicon but you don’t have an imperium if a hive fleet noms its way to earth because there was no way to get the word out or to even notice a lack of communication.
I like the head canon about the fabricator general only keeping his job because he would be a pain in the ass for the guilliman administration to uninstall.
For anyone curious on the high lords and the general politics of the high lords I’d recommend the Watchers of the Throne series. It goes over what happened to Terra during the opening of the Great Rift, the Second Siege of Terra, Guillimans return/reforms, and the Primarchs Purge(the high lords failed coup) all in the perspective of a Custodian Shield Captain, a Sister of Silence, and the Imperial Chancellor. It’s less of your usual high octane action packed 40K books and more of a slow start political intrigue with a big battle in the end.
As someone who knows a bit of Latin, Zlated Aph Keraliades is not latin. Its someone who couldnt figure out a name so they slamed their forehead to make one.
i just want to say that it must be a surreal experience to be the Grand Master of Spies and then find yourself sitting across the table from the Head Honchos of the Inquisition and the Assassinorum.
I didnt really like your explanation on the rotation of the highlords. They are not swapped out if one becomes unavailable or leaves terra but instead swapped when that faction is particularly powerful or they are desperatly needed. In watchers of the throne, trajann valoris is called to be a high lord because some on the council thought that the custodes were needed out on the battlefield in larger numbers and they wanted to change the law to allow that. Later when trajann goes off planet to fight he is still a high lord. Before he accepted the position he was not a high lord even if he had the ability to become one.

@Mr.Bones40k2 I don't know if this is a threat or an offer to seek mental health assistance, but hey, a response from a fellow Eldar hater is a response from a fellow Eldar hater, so I'll take it with honour.
One thing I think would've been pertinent to mention was how for some reason the High Lords have their own personal space marine chapter goon squad in the form of the Minotaurs who always deploy at full chapter strength to beat up whoever the lords don't like that day. What's even funnier was if I remember right the Minotaurs were about to rebel against Guilliman during the planned coup until another high lord convinced them not to.
28:35 just saying that the period is really really really interesting and to not be reductionist about it. Would recommend to check the hammer of witches to get an idea of how they understood heresy (sorta cause is not on the time, but there are good translation of it)
Mr.bones and his wild ride are an absolute must needed resource to break down 40k lore. after a literal 5 hours of videos I can confidently say I understand 1% of 40k lore
I love how in the Morvvan Vaal book literally 0 miracles take place despite it being so sister centric, everything can just be chalked up to coincidence misinterpreted as miracles.
Ah what an excellent segue video to the real juicy topic of the Minotaurs chapter. For real though it is actually really funny that the high lords are the ones talked about as being the ones making the coup attempt considering Gulliman’s position is something he claims was given to him by the emperor in a meeting not even so much as a single custodian was around for and the attempt was made by several active members not just ex high lords who brought up the very pertinent fact that he basically pulled a bloodless Horus.
14:10 So what I'm picking up here is that the Arbites are to planetary law enforcement what the FBI, Interpol, Scotland Yard, and KGB (now FSB) are to your local police department.
Was just thinking about how I know nothing about arguably some of the most important people in the Imperium, let alone the entire 40K setting. Thanks man, love your stuff! Can’t wait for the next Primarch videos! (Btw, your Conrad Kurze and Robute Guilliman vids aren’t listed in the Primarchs playlist. Just letting ya know!)
I want to hear about an assassin temple that focuses on nurturing life... Because what kills better than other life forms? You could get very clever with this I feel like.
I mean they had that one time...and they made a fucking tyranid hybrid monstrosity that they literally had too send multiple squads of custodes too kill cause it was that dangerous
Didn't we have like 6 or 8 highlords of Terra? Like IG lord, Navy lord, Arbites Lord, Administrator lord, Assassin lord and Adeptus Mechanicus lord?Eclesiarch added later and occasionally a custodes lord. Now even the godamn Abbess is a highlord, not a representative A FUCKING HIGH LORD. They put the best warrior of the sororitas in paperwork duty. Yes I know custodes have one, but they were stuck on Terra for 10k years and Roboute Guilliman is literally made for ruling. Why do we need a Abbess in the Highlords when we have a Ecclesiarch?
Time Traveler from the Future: (explaining one small relatively unimportant aspect of Warhammer to the founders of Games Workshop in the 1980s)"...SO, some of the High Lords become a Hulk/Werewolf thing to Thunderdome it with other High Lords to get the Navigator guy job, and then the Chancellor of the Estate Imperium handles all the paperwork for like a million worlds, and THEN the Lord Constable of the Synopticon is like M from James Bond..." Games Workshop Founder #2: (starts crying) "I'm so sorry, future nerds, please forgive me..."
i like the story of the high lords wanting to oust guilliman and have all these assassination plans to get rid of him only for him to have already thought of this and had them all gotten rid of using the assassinorum.

Yeah they can probably get a lot done out in the galaxy but that amounts to nothing if the throne gets eaten by tyranids in the meantime.
Nah. Terra’s safe. They’re NEVER letting the Imperium suffer a blow like that. Remember: this franchise is owned by a company that literally ripped the Imperium in half and only made them stronger.
Even if GW tries to AoS 40K, they’d never let Terra fall to the xenos.
@@samueltitone5683 You can't use meta information to justify in story decisions my dude.
@@bad-people6510 you absolutely can.
@@SoldadoCatolico No you can't, because Watsonian reasoning requires Watsonian information. The characters cannot make decisions based on information that does not exist in their world. Do you brain?
The way you pronounce Arbites triggers my fight-or-flight response
Arbeetus
The demon arbeetus will take your feet from you eventually.
you: Rowboat is the most staunch atheist out there
fabius bile: am i a joke to you?
Love Bill, his mere presence causes daemons physical pain.
28:30 no, it was because Roman Empire fell and all civilised secular administration alongsside dissapeared. It was acctually a church that helped rebuild literacy so at the end of middle ages majority of people was teached how to read
Yeah, that's why said church went ballistic when some dude translated the most read book of the time. God forbid (pun not intended) that people understand, even before reading for themselves, what's in there.
@@matt_9112 Yeah it isn't absolutely that protestants were cutting off parts of the bibble and mistranslating it on purpose. Not to mention that uneducated peasants knew social reality of acient Israel
This is the same church that controlled every aspect surrounding the information of the Bible. I don’t think the peasants could speak or understand Latin
My favorite tidbit about the High Lords is that they’re described as often insane but competent
Every one of them would have to be super geniuses far greater than anything current humans could imagine with added augmentations, operating against things you and I couldn't understand on a scale we cannot fathom.
You'd need every single diagnosis in all of the books to do what they do long term😂 the level of delusional confidence would put greek mythological figures to shame
Not on the medieval darkages, the church was very much very pro writing everything… The church was just horrible understaffed in relation to its need. Also lot of what was written was lost in the high and late middleages, where old manuscripts often would be cannibalized for bookbinding af new books
If the fireworks were on the 30th then the occasion was the world's best baseball team winning the world series
14:25 the way i view it is they are basically the FBI of the empire
Dude watcher in the rain was one hell of a story the ending was for once something I wasn't actually expecting.
Here's a name for ya, NRVNSQR Chaos. Also I believe GW retconned the indomitus crusade as lasting maybe 20 years.
The big boss psyker isn’t important because psykers he’s important because he’s basically the phone company. The imperium could survive if it just fed every psyker to the astronomicon but you don’t have an imperium if a hive fleet noms its way to earth because there was no way to get the word out or to even notice a lack of communication.
Really enjoy the longer content, gives me something to listen to while painting minis.
Ha! 12:39 - Uninstalling the Fabricator-General, nice pun, even if unintended.
I like the head canon about the fabricator general only keeping his job because he would be a pain in the ass for the guilliman administration to uninstall.
For anyone curious on the high lords and the general politics of the high lords I’d recommend the Watchers of the Throne series.
It goes over what happened to Terra during the opening of the Great Rift, the Second Siege of Terra, Guillimans return/reforms, and the Primarchs Purge(the high lords failed coup) all in the perspective of a Custodian Shield Captain, a Sister of Silence, and the Imperial Chancellor.
It’s less of your usual high octane action packed 40K books and more of a slow start political intrigue with a big battle in the end.
The secret 12th high lord is the ghost of ferrus manus's severed head. I will not elaborate
Thanks for all the grinding you’ve been doing lately! You’ve slowly become my favorite 40k tuber and it’s rad! Thanks man!
As someone who knows a bit of Latin, Zlated Aph Keraliades is not latin. Its someone who couldnt figure out a name so they slamed their forehead to make one.
Love that you used the portrait of Cassia during the Navigator portion. She's my favorite character in Rogue Trader.
The metaphore you used comparing the cooperative work of the navigators to a set of tuning forks was very accurate whilst still being very poetic.
Loving the long form content, but I do also love the 10-15min bite size content, feeling spoilt.
Fireworks were for Diwali celebrations. If you're in Canada and live in Brampton or Surrey, you're hearing them all night.
i just want to say that it must be a surreal experience to be the Grand Master of Spies and then find yourself sitting across the table from the Head Honchos of the Inquisition and the Assassinorum.
I didnt really like your explanation on the rotation of the highlords. They are not swapped out if one becomes unavailable or leaves terra but instead swapped when that faction is particularly powerful or they are desperatly needed.
In watchers of the throne, trajann valoris is called to be a high lord because some on the council thought that the custodes were needed out on the battlefield in larger numbers and they wanted to change the law to allow that. Later when trajann goes off planet to fight he is still a high lord. Before he accepted the position he was not a high lord even if he had the ability to become one.
Love the collection of artwork you have put together here. I usually dont get to watch these. Usually just get to listen to glad I was able to take the time. Very interesting very nostalgic Ty Mr Arthur.
Guilliman needs Dorns help for military expertise.
Totally not the council of thirteen yes-yes
"Shame on an Aquillan who try to run game on a Guilliman."---ole dirty blueberry on dealing with the Imperium
I have to say
I really really REALLY like your longer videos !
Keep up with the goodwork Mr Bones !

From those of us who watch lore while we paint, we appreciate the longer videos!
25:50 Oh hi Kitten!
"Cant you see were having a very important discussion about poo here?" The lack of tts content here is sad
The high lords of terra are the last remnants of today's weed smokers
10:14 Sister Gafomanika is a High Lord of Terra? Well that explains how she managed to get away writing all that heresy ..
@Mr.Bones40k2 I don't know if this is a threat or an offer to seek mental health assistance, but hey, a response from a fellow Eldar hater is a response from a fellow Eldar hater, so I'll take it with honour.
Kitten: I TOO am a High Lord !
Honestly I wouldn’t blame Papa Smurf for taking a dictatorship roll amongst the high lords.🐱
One thing I think would've been pertinent to mention was how for some reason the High Lords have their own personal space marine chapter goon squad in the form of the Minotaurs who always deploy at full chapter strength to beat up whoever the lords don't like that day.
What's even funnier was if I remember right the Minotaurs were about to rebel against Guilliman during the planned coup until another high lord convinced them not to.
28:35 just saying that the period is really really really interesting and to not be reductionist about it. Would recommend to check the hammer of witches to get an idea of how they understood heresy (sorta cause is not on the time, but there are good translation of it)
Idk about the Hammer of Witches. A lot of Church officials actually disliked it and even one of the Pope’s called its author crazy.
I love how the Dark Imperium books had to be re written to fix a bunch of things.
Mr.bones and his wild ride are an absolute must needed resource to break down 40k lore. after a literal 5 hours of videos I can confidently say I understand 1% of 40k lore
loving the longer format vids and obscure lore :)
Long form content from you is awesome, loved it, it’s a topic I’ve always been very curious of and you kicked ass with it.
The fabricator general does have a tendancy to explode all the time
I love how in the Morvvan Vaal book literally 0 miracles take place despite it being so sister centric, everything can just be chalked up to coincidence misinterpreted as miracles.
Ah what an excellent segue video to the real juicy topic of the Minotaurs chapter.
For real though it is actually really funny that the high lords are the ones talked about as being the ones making the coup attempt considering Gulliman’s position is something he claims was given to him by the emperor in a meeting not even so much as a single custodian was around for and the attempt was made by several active members not just ex high lords who brought up the very pertinent fact that he basically pulled a bloodless Horus.
I keep hearing “Fat Ass” when you mention the Grand Master of Assassins.
You gotta fight, for your right, to astartes.
MAN! The way that they pick a new Head of the Navigators, is so BADASS! Never heard it before either!
14:10 So what I'm picking up here is that the Arbites are to planetary law enforcement what the FBI, Interpol, Scotland Yard, and KGB (now FSB) are to your local police department.
0:08 i can think of atleast 2 channels which covered it
That was the quickest link of my life!
The Church is why what writings existed before survived the Dark Ages
i love your videos dude. i watch them going to sleep at night
Lion El Jonson and Corax when they’re blazing the Khan’s Chogorian Druhkari hybrid strain are the High Lords of Terra
Was just thinking about how I know nothing about arguably some of the most important people in the Imperium, let alone the entire 40K setting. Thanks man, love your stuff! Can’t wait for the next Primarch videos!
(Btw, your Conrad Kurze and Robute Guilliman vids aren’t listed in the Primarchs playlist. Just letting ya know!)
Awesome video! It would be great to have a list of books that you're using as your sources so we could read up about all of this ourselves
I'm guessing the Synod is another check against any future reign of blood shenanigans...
cant have enough of those
I want to hear about an assassin temple that focuses on nurturing life... Because what kills better than other life forms? You could get very clever with this I feel like.
The old ones
I mean they had that one time...and they made a fucking tyranid hybrid monstrosity that they literally had too send multiple squads of custodes too kill cause it was that dangerous
@@ericbarber4297 That thing butchered Space Marines like cattle. They send like 4 diferent Chapters after that stop it
Didn't we have like 6 or 8 highlords of Terra?
Like IG lord, Navy lord, Arbites Lord, Administrator lord, Assassin lord and Adeptus Mechanicus lord?Eclesiarch added later and occasionally a custodes lord.
Now even the godamn Abbess is a highlord, not a representative A FUCKING HIGH LORD. They put the best warrior of the sororitas in paperwork duty.
Yes I know custodes have one, but they were stuck on Terra for 10k years and Roboute Guilliman is literally made for ruling.
Why do we need a Abbess in the Highlords when we have a Ecclesiarch?
They also have a highlord for the inquisition
"I don't know anymore. They just make these names up."
Well... Yeah. All names are just made up.
Explore the Necron Dynasties, please? Attempt the fifth
Time Traveler from the Future: (explaining one small relatively unimportant aspect of Warhammer to the founders of Games Workshop in the 1980s)"...SO, some of the High Lords become a Hulk/Werewolf thing to Thunderdome it with other High Lords to get the Navigator guy job, and then the Chancellor of the Estate Imperium handles all the paperwork for like a million worlds, and THEN the Lord Constable of the Synopticon is like M from James Bond..."
Games Workshop Founder #2: (starts crying) "I'm so sorry, future nerds, please forgive me..."
17:58 Wow, there it is. The moment when Mr Bones used the word "whom" correctly.
God I love that guilliman with a cig post
i like the story of the high lords wanting to oust guilliman and have all these assassination plans to get rid of him only for him to have already thought of this and had them all gotten rid of using the assassinorum.
Gotta be real, calling Morvenn Vahl crazy is a bit reductionist: She is a crusader through and through - not a politician to be manipulated
Ah yes, my favorite captain general of the custodes. *RON PEARLMAN.*
