Anything below is made for (and by) the omnissiah. You can read it though, just a summary of the banger of a video you're watching.

Welcome to a deep dive into Warhammer 40k's most catastrophic and foundational event—the Age of Strife, also known as Old Night. This era marks the single worst period in human history, a time of isolation, mutation, rampant AI revolts, and the chaos that shaped the Imperium we know today. In this video, we’ll explore how humanity fell from a golden age of technological marvels and galactic dominance to a scattered and fractured existence, barely surviving on a crumbling legacy.

Join us as we dissect the Age of Strife from its origins in M25, through the devastating Cybernetic Revolt, the rise of rampant mutation and psykers, and the oppressive Warp storms that cut humanity off from the stars. We’ll explore how the birth of Slaanesh forever altered the balance of Chaos and how Terra itself descended into warlordism, with techno-barbarians ruling the remnants of once-great civilizations.

We'll also look at Mars and the birth of the Cult Mechanicus, the tragic isolation of human colonies, and how the Imperium's deep-seated fear of AI, mutants, and psykers stem from this dark period. Whether you're curious about the downfall of mankind, the influence of the Chaos Gods, or the Emperor’s eventual rise to power, this video covers it all!
