| - The Emperor of Mankind initially tolerated the deep religious belief of his son Lorgar that he was the one, true God of Mankind, but as the Great Crusade reached its height in the late 30th Millennium, the Emperor found himself increasingly frustrated with the slow pace with which Lorgar conquered and then brought worlds into Compliance for the Imperium. When the Word Bearers were formally reprimanded by the Emperor upon the world of Khur, their faith was shaken to its very core. Khur had been a world dear to the Word Bearers, who considered its capital, Monarchia, the "perfect city" because of the intense religious devotion of its citizens and the sheer number of cathedrals and monuments dedicated to the worship of the Emperor as a God. But the Emperor had ordered Roboute Guilliman and his Ultramarines Legion to raze it. Feeling betrayed by the Emperor, the Primarch Lorgar led his Word Bearers in search of those gods once worshipped on his homeworld of Colchis in ancient days who not only accepted the zealous worship of Mankind, but demanded it. Lorgar ordered his XVIIth Legion to find these gods, and so the Word Bearers undertook a sacred journey to the Eye of Terror to make communion with these entities in what became known as the Pilgrimage of Lorgar. Thus were the seeds of the Horus Heresy first sown amongst the Word Bearers.
