The Mystery Of The Somnus Blade (Ft. Baldermort) - 40K Theories

I could be captivated by baldamort reading a instruction manual for a 1967 sears deluxe toaster oven.

My thoughts on the matter: 1. The blade could have been the weapon of the most famous Sister to hold the rank of Nemesis Praxia, Ebon Naroda. Naroda, being the Nemesis Praxia and thus responsible as the high keeper of Sister lore, Sister estates, and leader responsible for all Sister training, ultimately was the "landlord" of Somnus Citadel. The Knight-Commander may be the overal leader of the Sisterhood, but the Nemesis Praxia was responsible for overseeing all installations belonging to the Sisterhood. During the Great Crusade, this title was held by Naroda and no Sister was more highly respected at the time. Naroda having a blade named for the most important Citadel and home of the Sisterhood seems more than plausible. Possessing her blade would be seen as one of the greatest honors possible for a Sister. Also, seeing as Guilliman tasked Aleya with discovering the history of the Somnus Citadel and the truth beside the original dissolution of the Sisterhood, it would seem fitting for Guilliman to bestow the blade of the most revered Nemesis Praxia(high lore keeper) on Aleya herself. 2.The blade could have belonged to Sister-Senior Gresselda Vym, a senior Witchseeker(same rank as Aleya) and master of the Blackship named Somnus. Vym being the master of a ship named Somnus could logically have a blade named for her ship denoting her as Captain and Master. The Blackship, Somnus, was shot down by the Alpha Legion during the Great Crusade leaving Vym lost to the Void. The whereabouts of Vym and her revered wargear are unknown from that point in time, but it is plausible that with the power of being a Primarch and Lord Regent, Guilliman had Vym's blade found or possibly took possession of it from whoever may have found it after Vym's demise. What do you think? Lol!

My personal theory is that the Somnus Blade has belonged to someone outside of the Sisters of Silence. Reason: If the blade was a revered artefact of the sisterhood, then surely any sister would be familiar with its history. Therefore it is strange that Tanau Aleya is completely unfamiliar with the sword prior to receiving it. From the swords mentioned in this video, I find the sword of Kendall to be the most likely candidate as it has a link to the Sisters of Silence and it was also brought out of their organization when Kendall became a founding member of the Inquisition. I do however believe that it is possible to find many other likely candidates by broadening the search to other organizations within the Empire. Sadly, such a search may be impossible within a lifetime as there are many famous warriors in Imperial history that were armed with swords.

Uncle baldy kicking heresy with his sweet sexy emperor holy voice on this channel yet again

Lord Balders does us honours by the lending of his talents to the telling of this magnificent tale! Ave Imperator, in exelcis Terra!

Baldermort has a fantastic voice! This was awesome

You know, I was kinda expecting Baldermort to say "End Quote!" at the end of this.

The new Custodes books from Chris Wraight are a gem and something I never knew I needed till I read them. The Custodes where always cool in the lore but Chris managed to nail them and give them such character as well as the Silent Sisters.

Crossover of champions, Baldermort’s voice with a 40k Theories Script. Divine!

Awwww yeah, another Baldy colab. Fuck yeah baby! And I'm actually up to see it on time. Happy days, happy days. Love ya both, Lore Masters. Keep being fucking awesome both of ya.

Holy shit, I thought it was an official trailer!!! That VOICE!

Watchers of the Throne series made me regret not starting a Custodes army.

I'm a huge fan of the Watchers of the throne books😀

Aw yeah,uncle Baldenor narrating is always a blessing

Roboute Guilliman: "I need a weapon for a normie. Well, Silent Sister. Something with history and antique looking. Try to hold off on the ridiculousness of the blade, please. Know any REAL experts?" Uriel Ventris: "I know a chapter. Met one of these guys on a bad trip in the Eye ... bring in the Astropath, and somebody who knows a secure location where we can't get robbed. Extra points if it's got plenty of stuff that can be stolen and that's not a worry for us; call it a down payment or distraction." RG: "Uh, who would dare rob ME?" UV: "Astropath, call up the Blood Ravens chapter. Dial 8-6 for the Librarians' Vault. Primarch, these Thieving Magpies get anything and everything." RG: "And who may I ask is the Blood Ravens' primarch?" UV: "Oooh. Yeah. That's ... complicated. We got time for 40K Theories shows for the trip. Maybe they'll have that Baldermort guy narrating."

Uncle Baldy showing how its done, and giving us a real treat, thank you guys, you gave us a good one today

So rare to hear of the Sisters of Silence, I'm in bliss.
