40K EXPLAINED - THE EMPEROR'S GOLDEN THRONE | Warhammer 40,000 Lore/History

I'd really like to hear from Rowboat what his take on the current state of the Emperor is.

Gut feeling is the human psychic power.

Is there a lore reason that the imperium (and most others) don't seem to go far out of the galactic plane? I'm thinking that if the gigatrix maladictum is across the galactic plane then it cannot extend across the universe so you could travel over or under it?

Being a bit of lore fan, after finishing the end and the death part 3 I went back to read "Horus Rising", while initially this does not seem relevant to the subject matter of the golden life support machine, there are links

For those who have finished reading Part 3 I strongly recommend taking 30 minutes to revisit the opening chapters of Horus Rising so you can enjoy the references made in the last book to the first. There are enough to make me grin lots

Hot take: Perpetuals can only resurrect if the thing that made them a Perpetual still exists in the universe
Earth is where the emperor was created, without Earth he can't come back
So hes stuck in a catch 22 he can't leave the throne because the earth will fall to chaos but he needs to in order to resurrect

My friends jokingly refer my wheelchair as the golden throne because I need it for well because of my cerebral pasly although i would rather a wheelchair then the actual golden throne 😅

PU Leather. So, plastic?

I have an odd theory of sorts, and it is based on certain observations, but also one which requires an element of creative thinking. So here it is. There has been some degree of discussion about "The Child in the Warp." It is not without consideration that there is a plausible belief that this is the manifestation of the Emperor within the Warp itself, perhaps a sort of 'Ascension' in some terms. You've discussed this yourself to some extent, and I think it bears greater scrutiny, but I have an adjacent theory about that particular item along with your recent video here about the Golden Throne. Let's say, hypothetically, that The Emperor, being the perpetual that he is of course now mind you, could at any point rise off of the throne, and then physically recover over some period of time. Granted, there are many reasons as to why he cannot simply do just that right now, but considering this as a certain possibility, and the ongoing manifestation of "The Child in the Warp" perhaps one might look at this from a peculiar perspective. What if, after all of this time, and with the advent of the Sicatrix Maladictum as well, a sort of "Singularity" has coalesced. What if all of that faith, belief, psychic sacrifice, and the very power of the Emperor fueled by the Golden Throne has caused the birth of a Human God within the Warp. One has to wonder however though, is it the Emperor, or something altogether different. Could it possibly be something like a dual presence? Many queries arise out of this train of thought, but there is precedence for such a thing after all. One of your recent videos discussed the manifestation of a Tau God in the Warp called "Tau'va." So it stands to reason that such is inherently a possibility, though it does present something of a mind-bending idea. As crazy as it sounds, it could be possible, and crazier things by far have seemingly occurred in Warhammer 40k.

actually just a question nobody thought of, it was possible for the custodians to hold the webway against the endless swarms of demons briefly when the emperor was not sitting on that throne, right? then when they won the war, and the primarch came to terra (before they decided to up and leave again) why cant all the remaining primarchs hold the webway while the emperor gets off the throne revive or heal as we know he could if hes off the throne

Now that I think about it, what a dumb way to be defeated. In being consigned to sit on a chair for 10,000 years. Fated to slowly, painfully watch as all that was built left to rot and crumble.

I don’t play the game, I watch a tonne of lore videos, I’ve never read a book. But this nearly all powerful character is as much a victim of his own scheming as the chaos gods.

We’ll never get an ending to this lore, we’ll never see the Big E get up from his dusty chair, and I’ll never get to see the imperium win, not in an absolute sense.

And I feel like that’s what takes the fun out of it for me, as a prospective game. What’s the point if you don’t know where it ends up, or worse still, you’re resigned to stories/books few and far that develop the main plot line for the pursuit of profit.

In reality, people want the primarchs back, they want the big E back. They want some final confrontation with the demon primarchs/chaos gods that ultimately undoes the damage of the HH and puts the imperium on a path of redemption and not stagnation.

Big golden chair 1- 0 Everyone in the WH universe

Doesn't the Emperor tell cipher "not yet"
When he is about to kill him?

Great video. Very informative and thought-provoking.

GW writers taking notes watching Luetin’s videos

The emperor, for the sake of the game, can't leave the throne, physically.
But the ways he's "leaving" the throne are interesting.

Don't forget another likely function for the throne...
Text to speech.
Lol!

I would like more interesting possibilities.

Some lore is poorly written like Magnus

I need that chair !!!!!

Man...The Emperor is cool.

Emperor seems kinda useless

My theory is that the Emperor is going to become one to two gods.
He was wounded irreversibly. He stopped himself from fully becoming the Dark King, but the roots were set. He dies and then the Dark King will rise. He threw a faith driven hail-marry into the warp as to hopefully do something. His broken body was entombed into the Golden Throne as life support. He needed time and worship now. He wants the Imperium, and himself, to last as long as possible. He now needs worship of those in it. He is ever falling into becoming the Dark King, but made a potential counterbalance of the Star Child. Thousands of years of worship to try and culture this counter balance. The psychers are fed to him to stop his body from dying while the worship is going to the Star Child.
Where this goes is incredibly interesting as if one is born, then Chaos probably dies, but if both are born equal to each other, then Chaos would win as they would stale mate.
P.S. Funny how the theory that he was Malice was not 100% wrong

Do they have a silent king necron throne chair?

Deep into Raven Guard soon ?

There can't be a resolution to the golden throne and return of the emperor, because that would bring humanity into a new golden age. And that would undermine the base pillars of 40k

After watching a quite a few of these lore videos, the 40k universe is gabarge.

Can he communicate with the psykers through telepathy?

The Emperor cannot be allowed to die until the Emperor is reborn.

Finally after 2 + years I’ve caught up. Excellent work as always

So in other words it's like the Infinity Gauntlet the Mobius Chair and Cerebro X all in one

Emperor lore best lore

The thrones were not made by the Eldar, there are no eldar who could control the throne. The throne was a weapon of the old ones.

I really feel like you wrote a lot of this before The End and The Death 3

The thing is: the empirium from start was anti ethcal,tyranical and autoritharean, it got a lot worse atr the heresy, but well intened or not the emperor was a genocidal tyrant from the begin

Yea, but does the Golden Throne have good lumbar support?

Awesome

The Noblechairs WH40k edition looks cool, but after owning a Noble Epic for 3 years and having it rip apart at the seams and the arm pads bubble up if your elbow so much as grazes the arm rests, I wish Secretlab or someone else had gotten the licensing instead.

You should be over 1 million subscribers ❤

WOOOOOOO!!! Thank you for these lore dives!!❤❤

bleh bleh bleh! I'm not gettin' outta this chair

Well done, sir. Well done ineed.

Guys, guys, the emperor is an anti religious zealot who violently puts down any and all religions explains everything poorly and can’t interact with or read regular human interactions. The emperor is an r/atheism mod

damn... that chair.

That soul shard of empathy, love, and joy he sent away I think ended up in imperium Nihilius, bringing the Lion back. But as the enthroned emperor called Guilliman his LAST son/weapon/thing , I think he is unaware of the Lion and the shard on the other side of the rift, that he is cut off from the rest of him still on the Golden Throne. When Guilliman - wielding the emperor's SWORD - reunites with the Lion - wielding the emperor's SHIELD - so too shall the enthroned emperor meet his last shard. What a consequential moment THAT will be. Will he destroy it, will he reunite with it and stand up anew?

If a mere million people worshiping him was enough *spoilers from EOD-III* to empower him to destroy horus, what power will ten THOUSAND years of giga-trillions ceaselessly worshiping him have given him?

I wonder if the Emperor has a sucktion cup hooked up to his you know what. Just like what Mr. House had in Fallout New Vegas. My character was on all the chems so he kneeled down and got a good look at it. Even zoomed in with his scope to get a better look at it. Then It was all over with full auto granade launcher lol

Unless the cycle is broken, the Emperor’s future is like that of the Necron’s Silent King; but who knows, species adapt in unforeseen ways even if time is cyclical

Nope, with no standard canon in 40k, there's certainly no golden throne.
It's just a chair, the emperor sat down to rest and fell asleep after beating Horus in tennis.
The rest about the psykers sacrificed by the thousands...Imperial propaganda! No wait, in this case it cant be the imperium, it makes big E look bad. It's chaos lies this time...or is it just a guy who made a bench in the rest area of the Palace trying to impress his drinking buddies?

I don't know why, but when I read that it wasn't supposed to be canon with a Golden Throne.
I've always thought about the real horror it bust be..
