Word Bearers - Post-Heresy: Eventually, the atrocities committed by the Word Bearers allowed Lorgar to ascend to daemonhood as a Daemon Primarch, becoming the equal of a god in the eyes of his Legion. It is said his birth scream as a Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided echoed across the Immaterium with triumphant vindication, his faith and devotion to Chaos rewarded with immortality and unbridled power.He has since isolated himself within the Templum Inficio on the Daemon World of Sicarus where he has remained for thousands of Terran years, forbidding anyone to interrupt his meditation, thus allowing the Word Bearers to be taken over by a Dark Council of the Word Bearers' most powerful Dark Apostles (the Word Bearers' equivalent of Space Marine Chaplains).Unlike many of the other Traitor Legions, the Word Bearers have remained a unified, if loosely organised, military force that has not split into separate warbands all vying against one another for power and control. The main ruling body of the Word Bearers is still the Dark Council, though the council is dominated by two major factions constantly striving against one another to dominate the Legion's future. One is led by the Dark Apostle and former First Chaplain Erebus, the other by the Keeper of the Faith Kor Phaeron.From the two primary bases of the Legion, Sicarus and the factory-world of Ghalmek which is located within the Maelstrom, the Word Bearers launch twisted Wars of Faith against the Imperium in the name of the Dark Gods.These conflicts' purpose is to "enlighten" humanity by replacing its worship of the Corpse Emperor with that of the only true divinities of the universe. That this requires the death of billions of people is a price that the Word Bearers are willing to pay to bring the truth first sought by Lorgar Aurelian to the rest of the galaxy.On each world they attack, they incubate a seed of heresy that will one day contribute to their ever-expanding web of Chaos Cults. Sometimes, however, this brings them into competition with the equally insidious efforts of the Alpha Legion.Though the Alpha Legion and the Word Bearers have united several times to take part in the Black Crusades of Abaddon the Despoiler, they are more usually in states of bitter division and rivalry.Lorgar temporarily broke his isolation to aid his Word Bearers against a monstrosity that was hunting them. The creature was eventually revealed to be the Loyalist Primarch Corvus Corax, who had become mutated by the powers of the Warp during his quest for vengeance against the Traitor Primarchs in the years after his disappearance from his Chapter.Lorgar and Corax engaged in a duel once more, with the Ravenlord dominating the engagement and forcing Lorgar to withdraw through the Warp portal he had arrived in. As the portal between them closed, Corax stated that he now had Lorgar's scent and would hunt him down no matter where he fled.However, these conflicts were but distractions as the Word Bearers' war against the Imperium of Man is always a total one, and they do not intend for it to end until every icon of the False Emperor lies shattered at their feet and the Corpse Emperor has been toppled from the life-sustaining mechanisms of the Golden Throne to wither and die.Only in this way can Mankind finally be freed from the shackles of a false faith to understand the truth of Chaos.And that time is nearly upon the galaxy. After ten thousand years of seclusion in the Warp, Lorgar is finally rumored to have returned to lead his Legion in the field at the close of the 41st Millennium in the Era Indomitus following the birth of the Great Rift.It is said that he has been seen walking the mortal realms in terrible splendor, preaching the word of Chaos at the head of a massive Word Bearers army.
