  • An excerpt from "The Lords of Silence", by Chris Wraight. Warhammer 40,000.
    Captain Dantine is an Imperial Guard officer that was taken prisoner during a raid, when the Death Guard warband attacked Dantine's Imperial station on Najan. This warband is called the Lords of Silence, led by Vorx, the former Siegemaster of the XIV Legion.
    Dantine's voice created using ElevenLab's speech-to-speech conversion.
    All the rest was recorded by me.

      It's another lesson to be had for him, what being alive means. To be mentally ready I would assume to be immortal/undead.

      As a representation of what the death guard have become. They are no longer a part of reality, their very existence is a front to it. All laws of logic and reason are forlorn from them. They belong as much to the warp as thejr daemonic familiars. They are not human, they are not of this world.

    The realization that Vorx is not only sane, but intelligent and, in a twisted way, compassionate, hits hard and only adds to the horror of Dantine's fate. Everything Vorx has done, from his dreadfully ancient and unknowable point of view, has been both rational and moral. The universe is just that twisted.

    • @E_Bailey
      @E_Bailey ปีที่แล้ว

      I mean, kind of. But that's the rationale for every Chaos Space Marine. The universe lets them get away with things, so they get to do whatever they want. They are obviously evil and irredeemable, contained by the thin veneer of a "rational" and/or "moral" code of their own devising. For whatever reason, many people romanticize the fact that any kind of code exists, but that doesn't mean Vorx or his ilk are therefore "compassionate". In Spear of the Emperor, Nar Kezar, formerly of the Star Scorpions, interrogates Anuradha in a similar way. She's brought in expecting to be tortured, and is surprised when she's not immediately tortured and killed (like all of her friends).

      Vorx is a servant to Grandfather Nurgle - they don’t delight in the same things as Slaanesh/other Gods and deamons. It’s kinda Nurgle’s thing where he genuinely loves his followers and teaches them to spread his “love” to all. There’s no need for suffering.

    What surprises me most is how Vorx doesn't have any negative emotions towards the guardsman. Even loyal space marines often despise ordinary people, but he doesn't show even a drop of anger, contempt, or anything else. As if he even sympathizes with him in some way because of the miserability of the world he lives in.

    • @Chris_seh
      @Chris_seh ปีที่แล้ว +261

      Vorx comments that in the novel too, he sais he doesn't really care about anything, how he doesn't hate anyone. Loyalist marines too even. The only faction he does have any strong negative feelings for is Magnus's band of sorcerors because of the Nurgle-Tzeentch enmity.

      Yeah when Dantine says he served for 15 years I expected the death guard to make some quip about how 15 years is only a blink of an eye for him.. Instead he comments that it's an achievement to be alive still after 15 years of service. I've always found it fascinating how welcoming and almost.. caring.. the death guard seem when they aren't tearing people's limbs off that is..

One of the students then asks him what happens to the unlucky ones. Cain just tells him those are the ones whose gods DO take an interest.

    Vorx has a very interesting relationship with the naval officer in this book. It’s this weird mix of a genuine interest in educating somebody in theology in the way a real world, priest, or chaplain might be, mixed with this underlying menace, and understanding that there is no choice in whether or not you get to learn the lesson. The lesson is coming to your house as we speak.

      It's easily in my top 5 of Warhammer novels. Each the supporting characters feels fleshed out - the twist of the final battle - the "whodunnit" of sabotaging the ship, all wonderfully pulls together in the crescendo of the last chapters. Rooting for the "bad guys" is heaping amounts of fun. Wright does a good job of explaining the esoteric motivations for Vorx and the Lords also - it awards those who have a greater understanding of the WH40K universe, but isn't unapproachable by the neophyte.

    So, you've gotten plenty of praise already, but I still feel the need to throw my two cents in regardless.
    I cannot stand audiobooks. I hate the idea of listening to something I could be holding. Most media like this absolutely does not interest me at all.
    I held the same thoughts about your work for a grand total of one minute, and I was completely invested after that. Your tone of voice, the way you get into character, the timing between every line and every bit of diaologue is absolutely fucking phenomenal.
    This maintained my interest from start to finish and kept me more entertained than any other bit of media I've seen in years- books, films, music or otherwise.
    You are gifted.

    completely new to all of this , just serendipitously discovered Warhammer 40k through this channel .
    this haunting realisation I just had about the fate of dantine , if his heart is removed and he still lives then vorx can make him live even if he is brutally & senselessly tortured in ANY way , Dantine cannot DIE unless vorx allows it , there is simply no escape from the possibility of eternal torture.

So keep up the good work, and I hope you had fun making this video and continue to have fun doing these. Secondly, I don't know why, but Vorx's voice is oddly calming. It just seems to resonate with me and make me feel more at ease. Keep up the good work!
