All the Eldar gods were killed, captured, or fled from Chaos. The majority of the Eldar were literally sent to hell. Half of those who remain became savagely evil. The Eldar constantly are reminded that they are doomed to the Warp if they die without their soulstones.

The Eldar themselves saw their own gods die and replaced by an all consuming monster. And still the Eldar were not broken and continue to fight for their survival.

Could the same be said of humanity if the Emperor were definitively killed? Or if the Orks learned Gork and Mork were well and trully krumped?

Humanity for the most part would definitely plummet into despair and most likely take up the worship of the Chaos Gods in massive droves outside of a small handful of cults as well as the Astartes.

Orks are defined as lacking existential angts like all the other races so they wouldn''t care because if their Gods got Krumped because it would just mean Gork and Mork weren't Orky enough so they'd start worshiping whoever krumped them. But that would never happen because Orks know Gork and Mork are the strongest because they are the most Orky.

>BOY DIS 'ERE'S SOME HERESY

The Imperium suffers on, through blood & death & the trumpets of doom. The Eldar were broken & their majesty lost, humanity will not be broken. We will not be swallowed by darkness, we shall rise reborn from the ashes to light the death pyres of Heresy, Xenos, & Chaos itself. We shall drown Khorne in blood, Nurgle shall burst glutting on the corpses we shall feed him, we shall trap Tzeneech within the madness of our doctrine, & Slaanesh? Well, we'll fuck him right up the ass!!!

BULL-fucking-SHIT!

If the Emperor ever bites it, in such a way that every human were made aware of it, that would be it. Mass conversions to Chaos, bloody civil wars that would tear whatever's left of the Imperium asunder before the vast majority of humanity goes screaming into the night.

Maybe those humans allied with Tau/other Xenos and those simply unaffiliated with the Imperium make it, what with not really caring if some corpse on a toilet croaks. Also, read up on 50k.

Humanity would be better off without your filthy corpse god. He rules an empire so rotten and putrid that it would make Nurgle's daemon worlds seem pure and clean in comparison.
His throne is built upon more skulls and blood than Khorne's own could ever be.
His pustulent empire, where billions of deaths are considered "acceptable losses" make the prince of excesses itself look like a moderate.
It's maddening bureaucracy and disgusting lies and coverups make Tzeench seem sane.
The corpse-god shall ascend into godhood when his rotten flesh expires, but not into some god of order as his "flock" would have you believe, but into the Chaos God of Hypocrisy, simultaneously claiming to be above the rest while far surpassing them in his own twisted ways, for the greatest darkness the galaxy has seen will not culminate in his death, but begin with it. The cursed throne keeps humanity alive not by keeping him alive, but by keeping him from ascending.
When this is all over, we'll be wishing the tyrannids had won.

The God-Emperor created children, strong men worthy of his name to take up his mantle & lead us if he passes

Sir, report to your Commissar, he can see you take a nice bolter pill to curb your fears & doubts.

Yes we keep going.

Nah.
No Emps, no Astronomicon, no FTL, the Imperium instantly dissolves into a million isolated planets and humanity gets its shit ruined. Eldar survived because they have a Webway to hide in, and move around with.

Most Eldar who *aren't* savagely evil are those who cling to the remaining gods, with the possible exception of the Exodites.

If 100% of Eldar gods died, they'd all go mad, too.

I honestly don't understand why they aren't all joining Cegorach.

The Eldar Gods probably would've been fine if the Eldar were less hedonistic and more focused on channeling worship and emotion into their gods like a good weapons-system.

But then you also wouldn't have Slannesh either, so it's a moot point.

If the Emprah died, he'd still presumably be able to keep humanity's afterlife intact the way he currently is, but humanity itself would collapse spectacularly without his beacon and any hope of saving the galaxy with it. It's a better ending than what the Eldar have facing them, but it still sucks losing access to realspace to a bunch of daemon pricks and being confined to a kitschy fake version of his Imperium, never again able to improve.

You forgot to mention it's all the Eldar's fault to begin with

Khaine is more or less broken though, and even the Eldar recognize it.

Cegorach isn't overtly active in the affairs of the Eldar

really only Ynnead is left and Ynnead isn't even fully formed yet. Isha is Nurgles rape slave.

Which Eldar Gods are actually alive to help?

>If the Emprah died, he'd still presumably be able to keep humanity's afterlife intact the way he currently is
Didn't seem to work for the Eldar

>The majority of the Eldar were literally sent to hell.
They're sent to Slaanesh, not hell

Effectively the same thing.

Its an endless horror beyond mortal comprehension.

Even the Imperium replaces the word hell with warp.

>All the Emperor-Botherers in the thread
The Imperium would fracture utterly if Big E died. You would have areas clinging to order around where the Astartes are, and presumably Guilliman could negotiate ways in which the Ynnari assist with transportation considering they're now both allied against Chaos, but anywhere not guarded by Astartes will be ripped asunder just by civil war, not to mention the inevitable Chaos incursion.
Humanity would like "bounce back" from the situation to a suitable point like the Eldar did, but by and largethey'll he crippled as a faction, lose most of their tech, powerbase, and resources, and possibly be put to the point of full out uniting with the Ynnari as a faction.
This of course has no inclusion of the Emperor's inevitable return, which could either bring about another, slower, Great Crusade, or a fifth major Chaos God after seeing what happened to the Imperium.

Also,
>Implying Gork and Mork can die
G & M are literally too busy fighting one another to go out and krump the Chaos Gods. Goodness knows what would happen if the two took a break from that and decided to crush the Daemons.

Cegorach is very active, GWs writing just forgot about it. Or maybe wanted to forget about it to sell some Aeldari.

Because he's tzeentch but slightly less dickish.

>Could the same be said of humanity if the Emperor were definitively killed?
The difference is that Humanity is reliant on the Atronomicon for travel, and isn't a race of psykers who can defend themselves from the Warp. If/when something happens to the Emperor, Old Night 2.0 happens and shit gets way worse for everyone, including the Eldar.

>Mass conversions to Chaos, bloody civil wars that would tear whatever's left of the Imperium asunder before the vast majority of humanity goes screaming into the night.
A ton will definitely convert to Chaos. Even more will probably keep worshiping the Emperor. The question is what that worship, which has occured for millennia, will cause in the Warp once the Big E's soul gets released.

>Maybe those humans allied with Tau
The second the Imperium shatters, the Tau will get assraped by the even worse forces out there. And very few other xenos that have functioning civilizations are actually willing to coexist with humans.

>Also, read up on 50k.
Literally fanfiction.

That's because Slaanesh was directly born of the Eldar and has claim over their souls.

We also don't know the specifics of the Eldar pantheon and the Emperors powers yet.

>Also, read up on 50k.
Grimderp fanfic that gets rid of all the (already loose) logic of the setting to push it from two minutes to midnight to 00:30?
