Perhaps slightly horrifying, all the old ones creations that are bipedal, opposite thumb, tool users with binocular vision are imitations of the necrontyr.

Well, they fought fire with fire. And didn't get burned, because they died before getting consumed. All the other races, on the other hand…

Humans weren't designed by the old ones but they were a pet project of one of the survivors who found them and worked to put the Anathema into motion.

Were they? Might be pulling a tad too much from Song of Peace there.
Apologies to all y'all for the extremely belated lack of an update, by the by. My life and schedule haven't really been in a space that facilitates writing for the past … month and a half or so. I will get this turn out, though.

I'm pretty sure we have a statement from the Void Dragon Shard on Mars that implies otherwise.
Always appreciated Xan, but as a general rule of thumb, the Authors concerns come before the readers, usually anyway. I do hope the update wasn't too much of a hassle for you, and that you had a good thanksgiving!
(And, no Ninja, that was not the case. In the contractionary lore of both universes, humans were created by the Old Ones explicitly. The reasons, hows, where's, and functions of being, however, were not the same. Please make sure to not use whatever you get from one person's idea of the universe, and try and strap it on to a completely different person's interpretation of the lore.)

No worries. Hope you at least had a happy Thanksgiving!

Indeed, there is nothing confirmed regarding how much the Old Ones played in humanity's origin.
I look forward to it, you have a gift.

I seem to recall the Old Ones' involvement or lack thereof being one of those things that gets barely mentioned with each citation disagreeing with each other.
I absolutely do not remember that in any of the discussions involving humanity and the old ones. From the well-documented Xenology book, that postulates the idea that humanity was influenced by the Old Ones, to a Direct mention by a Transcendent C'tan Shard from Belisarius Cawl's Book, to several stated discussions ranging back and forth between the Necrons, Old ones, and Eldar of all things messing with Earth and Humanities conception. I have not, at any point, ever heard of any of species, or beings of immense powers, that suddenly did the same thing in fantasy, as in 40k.
Mr Dragon on Mars is also a extremely biased source who actively hated the Old Ones. He might just have that view because he sees any species who can make Psykers as automatically an Old One project.
Considering he has basically spent almost all of human history asleep, I consider that to be rather probable.
No, the void dragon for all of his hatred, would never lie about something, literally only he, his family, or the rest of those who fought in the War in Heaven, would lie about. It would be the equivalent to a Sentinet Dinosaur being found alive in a block of ice, being sentient, and then telling the humans who found him, mice that might be related to them ate bark and sap.
Nothing in anyway shape, or form, has ever said that psykers were made thanks to the Old ones, or anything on any such levels, manipulating the psychic powers of the human race.
The only thing close to that, would be with The Emperor, and most of that idea, Is A Fucking Theory!
Altneratively, you could just learn to actually read what someone actually said. I said its probably that he likely BELIEVES that anything which is a psyker is an Old One project.
It would not be lying if he that was his belief and he then told someone that, only for it to not be true. That would be called being wrong.
That would still mean, even if what he "BELIEVES" is still wrong.
You would still have a C'tan Shard that somehow confused the work of his greatest enemies, with a group of monkeys that crawled out of the Galatic soup after his capturing. Nothing that you have claimed, or insulted me on, has at all disproven my point about the nonsense of a C'tan Shard, mistaking psykers a purely Old one invention as utter nonsense.

I survived November! Anyone else?
This isn't the thread for that and no one wants to hear about it.

I'm a bit worried.
It's been almost 3 months since the last update.

And less than a week since this:
I wouldn't, xan may not have a drive like other writers, nor have bursts of inspiration like others. But he never leaves his work, never stops writing, and he says he is hoping to get a update by the end of the year.

Partially what EVA and Rokafella said, and partially that I've made a bet with Xantalos before on if he'd get an update out in less than 6 months, and was quite pleasantly surprised when he managed it. He's slow, but he is a reliable author and when the update does come it'll be a chonky chapter of awesome.

The update will come out when it comes out. Xan's working on it but he also has an IRL life and obligations, and also he's very slow sometimes. But even still, it's being worked on.
