Ordo Motivatus
The Rise and Fall of the Aeldari Empire
The War In Heaven
di Ordo Motivatus
In the aftermath of the War in Heaven, a new power emerged to dominate the galaxy. Created by the Old Ones as living weapons against the Necrons and the C’tan, the Aeldari would survive the greatest conflict in galactic history and inherit a shattered but largely empty cosmos. Over millions of years, their civilisation expanded across the stars, achieving heights of culture, technology and psychic mastery that few species have ever matched. Yet beneath the splendour of their empire, a slow corruption was taking root. As the Aeldari abandoned purpose in favour of excess, their civilisation descended into decadence on a scale the galaxy had never seen. The consequences would be catastrophic, culminating in a psychic apocalypse that tore reality apart, gave birth to a new Chaos God, and transformed the fate of the galaxy forever. In this episode of Ordo Motivatus, we explore the complete story of the Aeldari Empire, from its rise after the War in Heaven, through its golden age and ultimate decline, to the Fall that created the Eye of Terror and reshaped the future of the 41st Millennium.
Long before the Imperium of Man. Before the rise of the Emperor. Before even the first human civilisation looked to the stars, the galaxy was already ancient. In this inaugural episode of Ordo Motivatus, we journey back more than sixty million years to the legendary War in Heaven. The cataclysmic conflict that shaped the future of the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy and set in motion events that still echo throughout the 41st Millennium. Discover the enigmatic Old Ones, the tragic Necrontyr, the birth of the star-gods known as the C’tan, and the terrible process of biotransference that transformed an entire species into the immortal Necrons. Follow the rise of the Aeldari and the Krork, witness the devastation of a war fought across countless star systems, and explore how the galaxy itself was forever changed by a conflict so vast that its scars remain visible millions of years later. This episode serves as the beginning of our complete chronological exploration of Warhammer 40,000 lore, presented in a cinematic documentary style designed for both newcomers and veteran hobbyists alike.
