  I love how the Assassinorum high lord just played double agent on the anti-Roboute coup, to give a &quot;I told you so&quot; to the regent one day.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGSGIECszTo&amp;t=1713">28:33</a> the Chruch was largely responsible for maintaining our pre-existing knowledge and attempting further advancement. We didn&apos;t record much because entire towns were dying in plagues and raids

  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.

  I cannot look at the Provost Marshal without hearing his TTS voice.

  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. <br><br>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.<br><br>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&apos;s oversimplification of myth for school boys. Works only survive if you can make copies, and sometimes you just don&apos;t know what to copy until it&apos;s too late.

  The TTS interpretation of the High Lords is more or less canon.
