Its kind of a joke at this point, Lorgar being a kind man, i think the point was Lorgar was the only Primarch who recognized the magnitude and horror of what the Emperor was having him do during the Great Crusade. Routinely conquering worlds, killing countless billions of people, destroying ancient cultures for the crime of nit confirming, enslaving the populations for more production and army regiments such was the nature of the Crusade. If a god demands such obedience, then so be it, to suddenly realize that god was just a stronger version of every tyrant that plagued humanity and that you had been their willing lackey, little wonder your mind would break. Phaeron and Erebus steered him to chaos but like Angron after Monarchia rebellion was inevitable.
Always an enjoyable listen
However
Fuck Erebus spits
The tragedy of Lorgar is that he had two shitty fathers.
Thanks for the ever great content!
Wasn’t Monarchia evacuated before being destroyed?
"he's not the prophet of the God-Emperor, he's a very naughty boy" – The God-Emperor of mankind
Thanks for the video!
This channel couldn’t be more underrated
In hospital waiting to get my appendix cut out, your videos are keeping me sane.
Always a joy to see a new video of yours uploaded, they're always so well-researched, written, and presented. Truly a masterclass of not only Warhammer lore, but videomaking in general. Keep up the good work!
I am willing to hear this heresy…a purification is called for
as a Black Templar…..
Brother, I have always loved your narrations! And one on my favourite legion, thank you for this gift!
As a loyalist myself I can say only one thing
F**K EREBUS
Russ: "The Emperor is a god, but a human one."
Jaghatai: "The Emperor is human, but also a god."
Lorgar: "NOTICE ME SEMPAI!"
Erebus is the best character in the grim dark. He was evil long before he ever became an astartes and for a so called psychic of such power like the EMPEROR OF MANKIND he did nothing to warn Lorgar of Erebus's psychopathic tendencies. no chaos magic no dark tech just good old fashioned human evil.
Yes, the 14ft tall, golden giant with an actual halo of light around his head, who can make 100000 astartes to kneel with a thought, who can project a lighthouse beacon across the galaxy, is totally not a god. Big E is the greatest gaslighter ever.

i have been waiting for this video since i found your channel. finally.
I hope you read my question!
I have to ask if your gonna compile the entire Prelude to Heresy videos into a single video or are you gonna wait and compile them with the Entire Horus Heresy series?
Wonderful work! Can't wait for what follows!
Insert the Life of Bryan's 'I'm not a God' sketch
Obligatory:
FUCK EREBUS
The turning of Lorgar to the Dark Gods is the best example of the long game in the Heresy
Understand that though it can never be said out loud, the Emp created the treachery himself, he destroyed the 17th pimarchs mind when he "censured" him. He had no where to turn except to chaos at that point.
Lorgar to the Emperor : you're a God !
Emperor : Yes I am !
Lorgar : I knew it !
heresy happens
REPLAY SCENE
Lorgar : you're a God !
Emperor : No I'm not !
Lorgar : Only a truly divine being would deny it's own divinity !
heresy happens
Emperor : facepalm
REPLAY SCENE
Emperor : put Lorgar in an office and feed him books and tales of our goals with his brother visiting him to explain what the universe is actually like towards humanity's and send the XVIIth to purge the cult on the World we've found him in, business as usual, in particular the leaders such as KorPhaeron and Erebus' ass.
Only let Lorgar out a in a few decades from now when he'll be ready to rejoin with his legion.
heresy happens …? maybe not
Beep beep, all aboard the Error-bus!
If you were given the choice to join any pre-heresy legion, which would you choose?
What an amazing job you do!!
My favourite Legion would be proud!!
Please keep up the magnificent work!!
Did anyone else notice that the polytheistic religion of Lorgar's adopted home world believed in four gods? I would be unsurprised if they were gods of desire, change, rage, and sickness.
I'll always consider it a writing failure that the planet Lorgar landed on wasn't the last Catholic planet in the universe. Then the iconography would make more sense
