Just as a quick note, you're all still the best, and I appreciate you all for watching/listening! I wanted to do another chaos incursion video, and at the same time, to do one which wasn't based on existing lore, so this one is a fun little original story, so you won't find any further references to it in the official GW lore! There are dozens of little parts of this that I'd have liked to have expanded upon, like with the Alpha Legion visit, or of the relations between the planetary governors and of the undersea citizens, but I didn't want the video to end up too long, so it's slightly truncated from my full idea. But maybe one day I'll write this up into a more complete story, in which case I'd still just post it up somewhere (perhaps not as a video since it wound be hours and hours long), but I did really enjoy writing this, and I hope you all enjoy it as well!
Yeah, I’d agree. I listen to this at work or while cleaning at home. I wouldn’t mind if they were long, so long as they weren’t at a length that’d make my phone glitch out and forget where I am on the videos or something like that.
This one was great. I always had trouble imagining how Tzeench influence would actually operate in practice. If you make a video that is hours and hours long, I will watch it! Thanks for all your work.
It's literally the lynchpin of every single cataclysmic issue in the Imperium. The Emperor's lack of compassion and love is literally the undoing of his own designs.
@@CheapGodiva His designs were made with him intending to have direct control over everything. It's akin to having the company president handle every significant matter, and then he gets hit by a bus.

Brilliant, really enjoyed this and the way it describes the insidious nature of Chaos rather than just a war story, a population pushed into their decisions by the neglect and greed of those above
These videos are haunting honestly, the ambiance and voice.. I was lying in bed half asleep when i got to the bit about the paranormal events and then the ‘wraiths’ coming through the walls of the city and I was like vividly visualizing/dreaming all the dark shadows coming in and merging with all the machines to ‘save’ the people. Amazing stuff!
I definitely enjoyed this one thank you A Very impressive, i am a big fan of Lovecraftian horror, the added elements of it here got me smiling warmly, i think i recognised more than a few of the mythology, Cthulhu definitely, hastur the king in yellow, the dagon. That was great with the setting of the scene yet to come like a chapter or phase now finished to a grand scheme in motion Cheers heaps 👍👍
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I wanted to do some oceanic content recently, and as the story progressed, it felt very natural to make it more and more lovecraftian. If I had more time to work on this (or if I was writing it as a full book), then I'd have leaned really heavily into the abyssal horror elements, but I'm glad that you liked it!
@@Scholarslore you're a great writer I think this would have taken a bit of time with how well it comes together. You have a great nack to capturing the imagination I think Thanks the oceanic civilisation setting was a nice change of atmosphere too.

@@seekingabsolution1907 didn't know about the imagery! That actually makes tons of sense! I'm like..."Where are they finding all this fire artwork?!" LOL Voice is def AI. Used to be David Attenborough's voice, but then got a cease/desist from their estate, I think? Don't want to spread false info but I think that's what happened?

Much better than that Imperial Iterator channel that is ripping off your style. Their scripts are AI generated in addition to the voice, which is really obvious when compared to your good scripts.
Thanks, I appreciate it. But yeah there's lots of AI channels which seem to just churn out as much content as possible, without caring too much for the final quality, which is a shame, but I suppose it was inevitable that it would happen.
I loved the Lovecraftian vibes, both in the storytelling with that slow, lingering buildup ending up in an almost sudden burst of madness never to be completly understood, and in the very obvious references (impossible architecture is often used to describe R'lyeh, the underwater city home to C'thulu). With your video I discovered a parallel between the Old God and Tzeentch and to a certain extent Warcraft's N'zoth, another God of the Deep that thrives in deceiving his preys and for that I am thankful. High quality narration as always.
Thank you! I'm really trying to improve with the whole soundscape aspect of the vids (especially since most people listen to these in the background), so hopefully in time, I'll get a little better at it
Just make sure to use it correctly. Pelagic refers to anything in the main water column. If you are referring to something on or near the sea floor then its not Pelagic but Benthic. Most people will not care to be fair, I am a marine Biologist though, so am a little more picky when it comes to the use of those terms :)
@alganhar1 oh snap the marine biologist is here! You'd better get your phrases right! Does this water world seem possible to you? Shouldn't the crushing depths have killed them all?
I just wanted to compliment you on the quality of these. I have listened to most on your channel and this one is one of my favorites. I like how it was sort of a short lovecraftian story, while also cover Tzeench, which for some reason its harder to find good quality lore material for. I'm just a sucker for chaos gods lore videos - hope you do more.
War stories tend to be the bread and butter for warhammer, so it's probably easier to write material for Khorne and Nurgle related as chief antagonists than Tzeench; whos more corruptive style approach would probably work better as a mystery or thriller than a war story. Not that you can't do battles with Tzeench, it's just if you do then it tends to be more of a generic chaos baddie than playing to his lore strengths.
Thank you so much, this is very kind of you to say. I absolutely loved writing this, and it was one of the few scripts where I still think about working on, even though its been a couple weeks since putting it out. In some ideal reality, I'd expand the chapters, and properly write this out into a full novel, but maybe in time I'll find the time to do so!
This story, the narrator, the production - EXTREMELY top notch. This was such a joy to listen too! Thank you so much for making this, and the other lore videos you all create. They are the highlight of my hobby time!
Cthulhu, Dagon, Hastur, and Judge Dread, two great tastes that do work well together. The rather sad part is that Eidothea had it been upkept and expanded upon in a more organic and environmentally friendly manner (slower expansion). Especially if other planets and asteroids contained water. The excess salt being used for other items, too.
It's shocking how much of the imperiums problems are due to the higher ups simply not caring about the worlds they rule over, and being shocked that their subjects have a problem with that.
I must say. This was……absolutely wonderful. Grand. I would certainly enjoy many more tales such as these, or of those depicting the "other" cosmic horrors within 40k. Especially those that plague the common folk when there are no space marines or guardsmen around to save them. The desperation, the despair. It can be so much more interesting than just plain death and destruction. This is a work of art, and I am proud to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. These will always be a welcome addition to any of the canon lore in my book.
God please don’t stop making this content. I can tell that care goes into scripting and the editing and all and I just love the atmosphere you create and the community you’ve cultivated. It feels so cozy here. One tip, I don’t know how or why the voice does this but it mistakenly sometimes says “ unawares,” instead of “unaware.” It’s not a big gripe, I think I’m just pedantic.
Havent been early to one of these in some time. Just wanted to say I loved your recent video about Mars servitors. 4AM when i first started watching this....looks like i'll be staying up...til 5:30!
I don't know if any other comments have said this, but you do so well with the voices! Fantastic hearing the variety and seeing you experiment with new ones. Another marvellous video, I always get excited when I see your videos pop up in my feed! :)
I discovered your channel through this video, im listening to this tale for the 4th time as i paint my chaos, your channel is spectacular and i am thoroughly looking forward to watching each and every video youve made
It's funny how many see the murderous mayhem of Khorn to be brutal, or the sometimes slow wasting of Nurgle to be insidious... But no one holds a candle to just how demented and vile the Lord of Change can be to mortals.
The one thing that bugs he about this entire story: “Ugh, it’s such a pain to do maintenance work on the undersides of our floating colonies! All this salt is doing too much damage to our machinery! >:( “ “Let’s submerge our colonies fully underneath this salty ocean! :D “
Even though it was the decreed procreation event mandated by the planetary government, I said "do not approach me with your womanly ways by The Emperor! Can't you hear The Scholar is broadcasting?!"
@@Scholarslore perhaps a meeting with one of the more influential members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Terran Lords or even the Inquisitorial Corps might get your sermons broadcast on the Universalis galaxy-wide vox broadcast service! You'd be joining luminaries like Vreet K'nogan with their show "Whoops that's my Emperor" and Konig Oxslaat with "Battle Sisters are Doing It For The Throne"!
I am but a neophyte, not overly familiar with the deep lore, but it intrigues me. Perhaps the Emperor will bless me with a mental fortitude to necessary to steel myself for this knowledge. The Emperor Protects.
I have a really old marble that has creamy blues and whites swirling on it. I always like holding it and peering into its depth and thinking of it as a "water world" planet. This is a perfect companion piece for marble-looking
Some nice agents of the Inquisition came to visit, and told me they'll be giving me some nice new augments, a total refit! So excited, but before they do the work just wanted to say: Nice job Scholar! This was a great sermon!
Haven’t heard from you for awhile, brother. As soon as I saw the video I know I’m in for a good time downloading for work tomorrow. Hope all is well? 💯🇬🇧❤️
Ah always good to have you back, hopefully this'll be a nice story to listen to. But yeah I'm good, very busy irl at the moment though, so doing these vids is a nice reprieve for me. Hope you're doing well too
It's funny because I only learned the word pelagic a few months ago, when I was learning abiut different varieties of Octopus for an anathropology essay.
With this, you've demonstrated GW writing is obsolete - this is, by far, the best lore I've heard from 40k except it reverts back to a giant bird, and blue and pink horrors...what you're writing about is soo much more entertaining, really pickles my love of cosmic horror
I dig how the 40k universe just incorporates whatever the Games Workshop staff was really into just then. RoboCop? 80's anime? British punk culture? Lovecraft? Just throw em all in. It won't aways fit together quite right, but it sure will be heckin cool.
Now i would pay for a game with such setting featuring ambitious rogue traders looking for the fabled lost STC of Eidothea as their make or break expedition of their career. Or another Inquisitor accompanied with a few grey knights or exorcists, centuries after the first expedition, trying to track down the enigmatic spread of chaos through corrupted water from this world. With as overlord a possessed Juros Valdovas ascended as Daemon Prince of Tzeentch as the recurring looming antagonist then to fight as final boss.

“Ugh, it’s such a pain to do maintenance work on the undersides of our floating colonies! All this salt is doing too much damage to our machinery! >:( “
“Let’s submerge our colonies fully underneath this salty ocean! :D “
True 😅 ocean winds are already corrosive and erode everything synthetic but submerge sth into said medium and it becomes like an acid
D.A.Tech and Bullshit hacks😂
Another amazing piece!! You are my fav K40 narrator. ❤
Even though it was the decreed procreation event mandated by the planetary government, I said "do not approach me with your womanly ways by The Emperor! Can't you hear The Scholar is broadcasting?!"
And your hand just left?
@@Overanalyse_Thisright! The Emperor protects!
I need to somehow convince the various world governments to dedicate some time every monday for people to watch the lore, its very important stuff!
@@Scholarslore perhaps a meeting with one of the more influential members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Terran Lords or even the Inquisitorial Corps might get your sermons broadcast on the Universalis galaxy-wide vox broadcast service! You'd be joining luminaries like Vreet K'nogan with their show "Whoops that's my Emperor" and Konig Oxslaat with "Battle Sisters are Doing It For The Throne"!
This is one of the best ones man. Actually really really good.
I am but a neophyte, not overly familiar with the deep lore, but it intrigues me. Perhaps the Emperor will bless me with a mental fortitude to necessary to steel myself for this knowledge. The Emperor Protects.
Blessed is the mind too small for doubt!
I have a really old marble that has creamy blues and whites swirling on it. I always like holding it and peering into its depth and thinking of it as a "water world" planet. This is a perfect companion piece for marble-looking
All hail Aquaman!....uhh I mean Valdovas! 🧜🏼♂️
Some nice agents of the Inquisition came to visit, and told me they'll be giving me some nice new augments, a total refit! So excited, but before they do the work just wanted to say: Nice job Scholar! This was a great sermon!
Hmmm, the inquisitors would probably like a word with you for supporting that questionable heretic!

Dude this was an awesome story, very solid and fun to listen to!!! Much praise and thanks
Awesome headcannon. Very rich with story potential.
Such an amazing video. Love these longer format. I hope you soon will make a video about Tuskha 😃🤩😃🤩
Thank you! I did actually cover Tuska recently in the "Ork Warbosses" video, I think he's the second or third boss in that vid
Love listening to your sermons while slugging away in the sun.
Haven’t heard from you for awhile, brother. As soon as I saw the video I know I’m in for a good time downloading for work tomorrow. Hope all is well?
💯🇬🇧❤️
Ah always good to have you back, hopefully this'll be a nice story to listen to. But yeah I'm good, very busy irl at the moment though, so doing these vids is a nice reprieve for me. Hope you're doing well too
@@Scholarsloreretail security. I’m finishing it now with one headphone in. Drown out the little ****** I have to deal with ✌️👍❤️
1:21:31 so worth it. Brilliant video. Crab 99999999999999999🙃
Thank you for the sermon, blessed scholar. Now I may rest soundly before my 16 standard hour shift in the manufactorum. The emperor protects.
@@ernestasjarmak9884 praise be! I've heard strange stories about the new water rations though.
@@MrLaprius those are merely stories to scare children. The adminstratum declared that it is safe for consumption, therefore it is.
Make your stories as long as you like, this was very good and enjoyable.
Love your work bro, thank you and keep up the great content
Pelagic.
Was tempted to throw an abyssopelagic in a couple times, but pelagic had to do
It's funny because I only learned the word pelagic a few months ago, when I was learning abiut different varieties of Octopus for an anathropology essay.
I love story time with the Scholar.
A very fishy well done to you, and could you cover Huron Blackheart and/or the astral claws, if you haven't yet?
this was a blast to listen to, many thanks
Well good morning, sir!
And a good morning to you too!
New favorite by you, love the story telling
hey this was really excellent, thank you for this!
Glorius video. Never heard about this planet before.
Excellent story. Many thanks.
I never make it halfway through this episode. It makes me fall asleep each and every time. 😂
This was awesome, thanks fella
I love the idea of a god of mutation and change it’s epic as hell
This was extremely well done thanks
In terms of chaos gods to get taken over by, tzeench is probably the least horrible right?
Excellent, thank you
Finally listened to the whole thing and I'm so glad I did!
Only question I have is: what did the Alpha Legion do down there?
This was excellent.
I love these long videos
Very lore accurate for a fan story.
Looove the artwork in these vids
Crushed by Choas or crushed by the Imperium? Either way they were doomed.
It's the OG AI of 40K!
Nothing but abominable intelligences in our neighbourhood
Ah finally an AI that actually knows how to spell neighbourhood 😉!
With this, you've demonstrated GW writing is obsolete - this is, by far, the best lore I've heard from 40k except it reverts back to a giant bird, and blue and pink horrors...what you're writing about is soo much more entertaining, really pickles my love of cosmic horror
awesome creepy bedtime stories
Outstanding sir
Wow...excellently told! 😮
Fantastic video
Best video yet, I actually stopped playing a game to listen because it was that good.
A feature length video to watch while i make bread?! Ah hell yeah
Thank you for this sermon
AWESOME story! *cracks open a bottle of Delicious Eidothean Aqua - Totally Healthy!*
I would seriously love to see a subnautica / 40k crossover set in this storyline. Can you imagine how spooky and intriguing it would be!?
What great background music ^_^
I dig how the 40k universe just incorporates whatever the Games Workshop staff was really into just then. RoboCop? 80's anime? British punk culture? Lovecraft? Just throw em all in. It won't aways fit together quite right, but it sure will be heckin cool.
what a GREAT story!
This is a blessing from the true Gods, death to the corpse Emperor. Please bless us with Ferrus Manus and the glorious X legion. The flesh is weak!
Now i would pay for a game with such setting featuring ambitious rogue traders looking for the fabled lost STC of Eidothea as their make or break expedition of their career.
Or another Inquisitor accompanied with a few grey knights or exorcists, centuries after the first expedition, trying to track down the enigmatic spread of chaos through corrupted water from this world.
With as overlord a possessed Juros Valdovas ascended as Daemon Prince of Tzeentch as the recurring looming antagonist then to fight as final boss.
