-	The Age of Strife had a tremendous impact on human civilization. Humanity barely survived the period, and most of the knowledge of the previous golden era was lost, much of it irrevocably; in particular, the loss of the STC system is seen as a serious setback for the advancement of the Imperium. The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] regards the STC as holy and constantly searches for remnants of STC systems. Although much lost information has been recovered by the efforts of the Adeptus Mechanicus, mostly focus there energy on re-attaining knowledge from the ancient STC. And less of there energy inventing new technology, as well as the centralization of knowledge in the hands of the Adeptus Mechanicus, that means that in the Imperium technologically advances very slowly.	+	The Age of Strife had a tremendous impact on human civilization. Humanity barely survived the period, and most of the knowledge of the previous golden era was lost, much of it irrevocably; in particular, the loss of the STC system is seen as a serious setback for the advancement of the Imperium. The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] regards the STC as holy and constantly searches for remnants of STC systems. Although much lost information has been recovered by the efforts of the Adeptus Mechanicus, by focusing on re-attaining knowledge from the ancient STC and spending little energy inventing new technology, the Imperium advances very slowly technologically.  This is further compounded by the centralization of knowledge in the hands of the Adeptus Mechanicus, preventing dissemination of known technology.

-	Humanity as a whole became more superstitious and distrustful, something which the Imperial government goes to great lengths to encourage. In particular, the Imperium distrusts mutants, aliens and psykers; this distrust runs so deep that the Imperium has a complex secret police force, known collectively as [[Inquisition (Warhammer 40,000)\|the Inquisition]], devoted to finding and destroying all aliens, [[daemon (Warhammer)\|daemons]], mutants, unsanctioned psykers and "heretics" (anyone deemed to be straying from official Imperial doctrine) existing within the Imperium. Despite the general distrust of psykers, many critical functions of the Imperium, notably the functioning of the [[Astronomican]], are performed by them, so they are often rounded up by Imperial agents and forced into service. The [[Adeptus Ministorum]] ("the Ecclesiarchy"), the official religious hierarchy of the Imperium, enforces a strict dogma including absolute devotion to the Immortal Emperor (who is treated as a god).	+	Humanity as a whole became more superstitious and distrustful, something which the Imperial government goes to great lengths to encourage.

	In short, the authoritarian Imperium of Man is the way it is in large part due to the great suffering endured during the Age of Strife.		In short, the authoritarian Imperium of Man is the way it is in large part due to the great suffering endured during the Age of Strife.

He dislikes magic, and therefore does not get along well with Tzeench; however this is nothing compared to his hatred for Slaanesh.  Khorne and his followers desire that all life in the galaxy should die in a swift, brutal and violent death, which is at odds with Slaanesh, the god of pleasure, whose creed demands that every experience of life should be experienced fully and that death should be, if anything, slow and painful.

Although as powerful as pulse rifles, carbines are smaller, trading range and rate of fire for portability and an underslung photon [[grenade launcher]], which can dazzle and disorientate targets. In the tabletop game, the pulse carbine's grenade launcher can potentially pin an enemy squad, thus making them useless for the following turn. (In the [[Fire Warrior]] game, the launcher can also be used to gain increased range on a high-explosive grenade.) Pathfinders often use a pulse carbine with an integrated markerlight above the barrel. Gun drones are armed with twin-linked pulse carbines.

They have an extremely short range, but are slightly more powerful than an Imperial bolt pistol.

-	'''Plasma weapons''' are a class of high-strength, armor piercing energy weapons in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. They employ a magnetic field to accelerate a stream or pulse of superheated [[plasma (physics)\|ionized gas]] towards a target. In smaller weapons, this gas would be generated when substances from two canisters mix together. In-universe, plasma weapons are described as being temperamental and the technology to manufacture them has become rather obscure for the Imperium. Despite this, plasma weapons find regular use throughout the armies of the Imperium. Imperial plasma weapons are comparatively stronger than other races' analogs, but this advantage is offset by poor cooling: Plasma weapons using Imperial technology can build up dangerous levels of heat, which is occasionally vented out, which can seriously wound the operator.<ref name="Wargear"/> In second edition, Imperial plasma weapons (known as mark II plasma weapons) had added safety mechanisms and did not suffer from this drawback. Instead, the user had to wait for the weapon to recharge, cool down and stabilize between shots. Older type plasma weapons (known as mark I) still had the potential to overheat dangerously. In third and fourth edition game rules, this is represented by the plasma weapon's capability to wound (often lethally) its wielder.

-	<blockquote>''The Emperor fought Horus, power sword against lightning claw, with brutal blows that would eviscerate any mortal man dozens of times over. The Emperor held back for much of the battle, remembering Horus as his beloved son and not wishing to believe that he had turned so utterly to Chaos. This allowed Horus to inflict crippling mortal wounds on the Emperor, since nothing short of the Emperor's full power would be sufficient to defeat him. At the critical point in the battle, a single Space Marine in Terminator armour, probably of the Imperial Fists Legion, entered the room: Horus flayed him alive with but a look, and in that instant the Emperor realised how far his favoured son had turned. The sacrifice of the Imperial Fists Terminator bought the Emperor time to deliver a finishing blow to Horus. Suddenly, before the Emprour could strike, a loud boom came from the hull of the ship. Turning around, the Emprour saw his death, as the mighty Omega Destruction Spear was plunged in his skull. Before Horus realized what happend the dreaded Spear of Death sliced into the legend that started the heresy. As both wepons were pulled out of the lifless bodies, the Legendary Grey Knight, Destroyer,in his Immortal Grey Knight Helmet grined at his lifeless comrade, the Necron Lord. He turned his mighty gaze upon the dead humans, gods if not, and laughed. "Heheh This aint how the story goes." He turned his gaze once more to The Necron Lord.Destroyer sense a presence behind him and in a heartbeat he slashed the xeno warrior behind him. The comrades turned back to back as they saw the massive swarm of destruction headed there way. On reflex the Legendary Grey Knight shot 3 rounds of nukelear missiles into 34 upcoming tyranid warriors and obliterated them.Suddenly the necron lord said that there is an estimated of 673 aliens ehading this way, Doing a mighty pychic spell that would take a libarian years, he incinerated all 673 tyranids in sight. He turned around to check if his lifeless comrade was ok, and there he was, wiping the blood off of his spear. "Quick" he said in a lifeless tone, "more will be coming". "and they will meet my rightous fury" Destroyer said . As they ran along heard a loud crunch of metal and instantly knew the mighty beast was coming for them. He saw a door and slashed through it, for he knew he could not outrun the beast for long. He heard a scream from a surviving traitor as the beast ripped him unsunder.Everywhere they looked there were either swarms of tyranids swarming into the ship or traitors fighting a losing battle agisnt the tyranids and being overwhlemed by the aliens. As they ran deeper and deeper into the newly infested ship, they found less evidence of traitors and more tyranids. They were massing in more and more numbers, trying to slow them down. Once they managed to stop the Companoins. "Damn aliens if you want death i can give it to you" Destroyer said. They approched a dead end. As they came to a stop at the end, they turned around to face the now massive, neverending swarm.Destroyers Omega Destruction Spear and Omega Reaper Bolter moved with him and his mind. Slice, stab, Plunge,Destroy. Slice, stab, Plunge,Destroy. No enemy in this swarm could harm them except a few stray scrathes and acid spits.They both charged into the neverending alien swarm without any feeling of fear and slashed their way through the endless swarms of tyranids.As the two slashed their way through the swarm,there were the heads,legs,limbs,guts and innerts or the aliens all flying around as they made their way to the mouth of the hive. Destroyer who has unrivaled skill with the spear spin his mighty omega destruction spear spin his immortal spear so fast that it was like a helicopter blade spinning,he made an inpenetrable shield with it slashing anything that got near it in a quarter of a second.Blood,guts and organs flew around as Destroyer anhilates all the aliens who dare attack him.The Necron Lord using the power of the C'tan and the blunt end of his spear,slammed the hull of the ship causing a massive hole which sucked the tyranids into space.Suddenly a massive carnifex charged at the necron lord slamming him agaisnt the wall.Reesembling himself and with a look of hate in his lifeless eyes the necron lord  jump onto the back of the carnifex and with his mighty iron fist punch a hole through the carnifexes skull to the jaw.They were both covered, head to toe, in the blood of their enemies. "This is sure an interesting way to work out" He stated.With Destroyers Omega Reaper Bolter he cut down the alien swarms with massive barrages from his super bolter like a lawnmower mowing down grass.It is said that Destroyers Legendary Omega Reaper bolter fires golden bullets which are faster tha light and are able to pierce 3 mountains.He and his bolter cut through the aliens like a plasma knife through butter.Finaly Destroyer Fired 3 shots of nukelear Missiles at the mouth of the massive hive ship which the aliens are floading out from.It looked like a piece of giant floating shit in space.Destroyers nukes hit the mouth causing a massive nukelear explsion and a loud scream from the hive mind.As his enemies were incinerated and the blinding light pass through the alien swarms, Destroyer stand tall as  even the most davastating of explosions could do little more than scratch his immortal armour which had self repairing capabilities which the necron lord gave him the technology to do.Finaly,before all of the aliens were destroyed a monster emerged out of the wounded mouth of the hive mind the trembling was coming closer and closer. He was anxious. He wanted it. He wanted it so badly. He wanted to slay this horrifing beast.In his mind he said"oh yeah now this is gonna be fun" A normal man would be running now, just a the thought of these horrifing, things. It was like a image from a nightmare. The comrades looked at each other and they knew which beast they wanted to kill. THis beast, having to kneel till it got to the high roof, was 4 times the size of a man. This monstrous beast, was a Hive Tyrant. A glance at the beast send some remaining traitor suvivors running with broken legs only to get ripped apart by some aliens that suvived that nukelear explosion. The thing was massive. It had ten, if not hundreds of tenticles. No matter how many his friend cut of, there was a dozen more to replace them. He would hold out for now. He turned his gaze at the beast and he knew the beast was trying to take advantage of his moment at looking at the other beast. But the Tyrant was wrong. A Legendary Grey Knight Like Destroyer could never be distraced. He lets it charge at him. As the tyrant was just metres away, he dodged out of its way and jumped on its back. He swiftly climed up it and drew his blade. In one massive plunge,Destroyer had his Immortal Omega Destruction Spear  through the abominations thick skull right into its throat.As the monster was destroyed a massive shockwave was emited from it sending all of the remaining aliens into disaray.Destroyer looked at his companion and said "lets get the hell outta here" and dropped a nukelear bomb capable of destroying a moon.Luckily for them an eldar scout ship crashed into the battle barge due to the the tyranids attacked.The two sliced the pitiful eldar pilot into 100 pieces in 2 seconds and jump into the ship and activated warp speed straight away.As they were 1 lightyear away they felt a faint boom coming from the battle barge.Till now the two immortal champion of death continue to destroy evil.''</blockquote>

	Although accounts of the actual battle vary, almost all confirm that the end of the duel resulted in Horus' death, and the fatal wounding of the Emperor. Knowing instantly that their leader had fallen, the forces that had declared their loyalty to Horus splintered and fled, their daemonic allies disapearing back into the warp. Pursued by Imperial forces, most of the traitor marines retreated into the warpstorm known as the [[Eye of Terror]]. The Sons of Horus did likewise, but under the direction of Horus' First Captain, Ezekyle [[Abaddon the Despoiler\|Abaddon]], took the time to launch an assault on Horus' battle barge and retrieve their leader's body.

The Sons of Horus did likewise, but under the direction of Horus' First Captain, Ezekyle [[Abaddon the Despoiler\|Abaddon]], took the time to launch an assault on Horus' battle barge and retrieve their leader's body.

-	'''Lorgar''' is the [[Daemon Prince]] [[Primarch]] of the [[Word Bearers]] [[Chaos Space Marines]].	+	The infant Lorgar was found on the planet Colchis during the scattering of the Primarchs. The Primarch matured quickly and was adopted into the planet's wide spread cult. The Primarch rose quickly through the hierachy of the religion and only the high priest Kor Phearon, stood above him.

-	{{stub}}	+
		+
		+	Soon after the Emperor came, seeing the Emperor as such a divine being, Lorgar bowed down and worshipped him. The Emperor who had banned all forms of religion in the Imperium looked upon him and said 'my son, i do not wish to be worshipped, i want to be obeyed.' Lorgar was hurt by this comment but vowed that he would stop. The Emperor gave Lorgar the XVII legion as his own.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Shortly after the Emperor departed, Lorgar began his worship again and it began to spread quickly, reaching from fleet to fleet, planet to planet. Lorgar began his book 'the book of Lorgar.' This was a text that told the people how the Emperor was to be worshipped. When the Emperor found out of this he was outraged and told Lorgar to stop immediately. Lorgar became angry with his father's wishes. Soon after, the legion's high Chaplain Erebus (who was tainted by the High Priest Kor Phearon) told Lorgar of a much higher power who wanted to be worshipped. Lorgar began his worship of the gods of Chaos. Soon after Lorgar was told that a galaxy wide civil war was to happen, and he was to be the cause of it. He was to convince Horus, most beloved of the Emperor to turn to the Chaos powers.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Erebus was charged with this, he went to the Davin system where Horus had just recovered and with his great convincing words coupled with the visions Horus had seen in his coma, Horus decided to turn. Erebus remained by Horus' side as a personal consellor. Not much is known of what Lorgar did next, he shows up on Isstvan V as part of the loyalist second wave to attack Horus' fortress. Alongside the Night Lords, Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors the loyalists of the Salamanders, Raven Guard and Iron Hands are massacrhed.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Lorgar was then tasked by Horus to send the majority of his legion and fleet to the planet Calth to try and kill Roboute Guillimann and prevent the Ultramarines in getting to Terra. Lorgar himself takes the rest of the legion to Terra alongside the other traitor legions.
		+
		+
		+
		+	After the defeat of Horus by the Emperor the Lorgar flees to the Eye of Terror and is homed in the Basillica of Torments, he is made a Daemon prince and has never been seen again.

	According to Ian Watson's novel ''Space Marine'', Dorn's skeleton, without its hands, is encased in clear amber, which is formed in the shape of the Primarch's body. Dorn's skeletal fists are kept within two shrines, the bones intricately engraved with the heraldry of all the Chapter's previous Masters. Only the Chapter Master has the right to engrave his name upon the bones. Even with minuscule script, ten thousand years of history have left the bones covered with names, giving a list of the Imperium's greatest heroes. Each bone corresponds to former commanders.
