Hello, my name is Ghost59. I will be your guide through the lore of Warhammer 40k. This is a collaborative effort with Cyber to make lore posts across all of #Gaming. Cyber is currently doing Elder Scrolls Lore right now, to check out his posts, click here: | https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/209972709?sort=0&page=0 | My sources will come from the Lexicanum, a website that is made for Warhammer 40k Lore. Which I will link here: | http://www.lexicanum.com | Now lets get into it. Today, we will be talking about The Old Ones. Not much Is known about The Old Ones but here is what we do know. The Old Ones are nowhichs the first intelligent race in the galaxy, which would make the oldest space faring race in the galaxy. They were said to have a slow, cold blooded wisdom to them. studying the stars, and the universe itself. forging some arcane science that helped them travel across the galaxy. It was their understanding of the universe that let them manipulate other realties. They were known to under take great works of psychic engineering, one of their great works was the Webway. which acted as a conduit, so that they could could travel to far flung worlds with out suffering from the tides of the warp. They were so advanced, that they could be in another solar system with a single foot step. Thanks to the Webway Portals, and through other means, they managed many worlds and systems. The Old Ones believed all life was useful, and they were known for bringing up numerous new races. They impregnated thousands of worlds, which made their own life. This was all according to the deceiver, The Old Ones once went to war with a race of beings called the C'tan. They won the war, of course, and the C'tan went into hiding in fear of their wrath. During The Old Ones Rule, there were many young and fiercer races that had developed within their wake. There would be one race that the Old Ones will regret ignoring, this race was the Necrontyr. A race that struggles in their space exploration and colonization across the galaxy. The Necrontyr had to use sleep chambers when traveling to other worlds, sleeping for many years. While the Old Ones were so nimble and fast, traveling to other worlds in a flash and being basically immortal. The Nercontyr wanted what the Old Ones had, but the Old Ones refused them. This would be their greatest mistake. Next time on Warhammer 40k lore: We'll be talking about the Necrontyr and the C'tan! This will be a three part lore post, on Warhammer 40k Lore.
