Word Bearers - 17th Traitor Legion Lore
Please be aware that the story element is self written. This is done purely to gain easier access to the faction and their 'feel'. This particular one took me over 30 hours to produce, so do bear this in mind before focusing on minute issues.

As Word Bearer begin his speech, the Vindicar open his eye, the rifle had drifted off its mark. The assassin squirm so the rifle may rest naturally and closed his eyes. Reopening them he saw the cross hairs hovering over the targets head. His breathing slowed as he stared at his target. His target has brown eyes with hints of green in them. Just breath... Suddenly there was screaming and he lost the target. Blinking he zoomed out he saw the Word Bearer sprawled out on the ground. He didn't even remember taking the shot.

I don’t quite agree with that view of lorgar purpose/specially of war as Valkan, Sanguinius or even the Primarchs Alpha Legion would fit that image better. I believe that Lorgar was originally meant to be the His Praetorian instead of Dorn. Where the Custodians where the Emperor’s personal bodyguard, the 17th legion would have been his Enforcers with the imperium similar how the 20th are his Secret Service or how the 6th are his executioners while the 12th are more tailored to complete destruction all before their Primarchs came to be. It seems like fanatical loyalty is the 17th trait like the alpha legion is secret war or the thousand sons are more warp base warfare. The thing that the 17th was fantastically loyal to happened to be religion

Lorgar thought highly of himself yes, but not in the same way as his other brothers, he wanted to be a peacekeeper, a philosopher, a writer, an orator. Its easier to explain it by posting a discussion between lorgar and kor phaeron which he admits that he is lesser to his brothers in terms of warfare and fighting but he opines as to why his father (the emperor) would not approve of oration, diplomacy, and philosophy which lorgar excels at. And like why skypants said, Lorgar was an affection primarch, who literally defied fate by charging against something he KNEW would be his death just to protect his genesons against corax.

Impressive speech. It's interesting to see an example of just how a Word Bearer would subvert an Imperial world first against local government, then against the wider Imperium, then against the Emperor himself (enslaving them to the will of the gods in the process). Whilst we World Eaters prefer a more direct path, the World Bearers have nonetheless delivered many Imperial worlds directly into the maw of the Primordial Truth, and certainly deserve respect for the effectiveness of their tactics (just as the Alpha Legion or Night Lords do theirs). Makes me think of the happy times Uncle Lorgar and Papa Angron had in the HH novel 'Betrayer'. Good memories... 😌

"A galaxy of truth..." That line sticks with me. For people raised on the Imperial Truth, the realization that gods exist, are facts of the universe, would convert many even before notions of corruption and manipulation come into play. One wouldn't even have to be personally evil to worship Chaos; the fact that higher powers literally exist would be more than justification. That chilled me about Chaos, before faith in the Emperor became an objective force in 40K: for all of its incomprehensible cruelty and horror, Chaos was real/factual/true.

@@TheInundation I mean was it wasteful? they took their time but I doubt any world conquered by the wordbearers would ever revolt. A couple generations of peace and people will forget the terror of the nightlords; a century of prosperity and people will question why are they paying this distant faceless tyrant of the stars, while growing fat off guilliman's infraestructure; give them a generation and they'll start thinking that the angels of death that will castigate them if they revolt are just a tall tale of fat aristocrats and weird red robed spooks trying to cling to power; with time the banners of the great fortress will fade and maybe it's guardian's memories of the hands that built it and the gauntleted fist that ordered their ancestors to watch over it will fade with them. Not to say that his aproach was anything close to the best but it had it's merits in a galaxy were the main institution was this necesarilly artificial empire oddly full of religious imagery. My prefered excuse to the inconsistency of big E with Lorgar is that he knew he was telling a boldface lie and the the primarchs were a walking ever looming threat to his imperial truth,so he did what most people liying under a galaxy sized amount of preasure do and just stuck to the rehearsed script and tried to not draw the attention of his hyper inteligent supersons to the lie. So he just sent Lorgar into the galaxy like all of his troops, blind lambs into forest infested with multi-headed, fire-breathing, tentacle-covered wolves maybe trusting that the wolves were few and the forest big enough that they wouldn't find that many till they conquered everything. That might be an awfully hopeful shot in the best of circumstances but the great crusade was a giant leap of faith allready so I guess it was't hard to just hope a little more. So in that silent desperation of a contraband carrying person in an airport he hoped; he hoped that the iconoclasts would change Lorgar as they were as opposite to their primarch as any legion could be and that would make the result of the reunion the opposite of all the others( assuming The Emperor had the time to notice any of the effects of the other reunions beyond combat results). So when he found that Lorgar was endangering all that was sacrificed in the altar of defeating Chaos reminding him that people,even among his bulwark against terror, could choose not to head his lie two of the most human emotions took the place of hope, anger and fear. So he scolded his "son" like one scolds a dog that dugged under the flowers of the backyard, there was little teaching and much venting and self-reasuring that he was indeed holding the leash. Maybe it was thinking less of the mortals and more of a choir of laughing gods, a demonstration of his power over his shinning sword made to kill the darkness. So he left the naughty dog and hole on the backyard for latter, as there would be time for fixing what was broken after he was done. For the end was in sight, the gods grew weaker with every day that passed as all the bridges to their realms burned in the fires of his curated creed of reason and their voices were drowned in the roaring of his perfect machines of war, for his dogs lead them well while he held 18 leashes. Or maybe is just bad characterization, sorry for the wall of text but your videos are kinda inspiring dude, great stuff.

They called him the weakest of the Primarchs; I call "Bullshit!" None of the other Primarchs EVER took on Annrath the Unbound, did they..? but He did. And WON! Not because he was particularly "Martial..." but because He *Believed..!* and that is what is so Fucking *SCARY* about Lorgar, and the Word Bearers as a whole! Burn 'em..? Stab 'em..? Shoot 'em..? Do ALL THE ABOVE AND WORSE..! and they'll just keep on coming... singing and praying all the while...if THAT doesn't scare ya..? (hell, even Konrad Curze wasn't THAT crazy!) nothing will... Beyond that..? Lorgar is the REAL winner - Both Chaos, and the Imperium are dancing to His song, and His word. Choke on THAT, Papa Smurf!!

@@robohobo2325 I would hardly call what the Emperor did 'nice'. Monarchia was not Lorgars 'toy' it was a labor of love dedicate to his father. If his worship was wrong then why did the Emperor wait a entire century to 'correct' him, Lorgar never hid his faith. The Ultramarines destruction of Monarchia was also not a clean affair either, they bluntly landed demanding everybody to leave the city or die, threatening the people for asking them why and even killed protesters without hesitation. Guilliman himself felt that what the Emperor forced him to do was too far and would only lead to trouble. Lorgar did not want to worship for the sake of it, he wanted the truth because he saw that the Imperial Truth was the lie that it was, the signs throughout the galaxy were too many, the pattern they formed was clear to those who bothered too look. He did not worship the Emperor as a God because he 'wanted to worship' but because the Emperor was a god in all but name. He could do the impossible, create or destroy live, make or unmake a world, hell not just worlds entire STAR SYSTEMS. He saw the effect of the Eldars Fall, feared that the same would happen to humanity and that fear set him on his path.

Lorgar's fall hurts because it all boils down to " His dad was a piece of shit that just wasn't a good enough dad and pushed him into the waiting arms of evil gods. If he wasn't a shitter and just was honest with his sons, told them WHY they needed to censor the gods out of human history and general knowledge then they would have all known their foe and prepared accordingly. " Instead he left his children all woefully unprepared and some even set up perfectly to fall right into the waiting slavering maws of Chaos.

Hello, I recently ran across your videos for the first time a week ago and that quickly became a sub as well as a question. Do you use any post-production on the voice? I only ask because your style of presentation and vocal techniques remind me of the legendary Vincent Price in how you deliver the narration, just much more bass to the voice, and I think that is absolutely wonderful as that kind of theatre evokes so much more, even with information that pretty much everyone watching these videos already knows very well. If there was a time machine, we should send you back to the 90s so you can voice the Atmosfear games and their like, you have that late night horrow show voice. Keep it up guy!

Baldermort, this is one of my favorite videos of yours. That's a high bar for me personally, because I greatly enjoy so much of your content, and you are nothing if not prodigious! I cannot express enough how impressed I am with your entire narrative from beginning to end. As part and parcel for 40k, I know a lot of your fanfiction is also horror, but I find this story so incredibly chilling. You did such an amazing job of writing and acting out this audio drama. I am such a fan that I have to come back to it every now and then to re-listen to it. The reason I don't listen to it more is because it's so intense! There's something to me that's so insidious and evil about Mass manipulation. There's something to sering an army of dinosaur bugs charging at you versus a Space Marine coming to insight revolution amongst the ignorant masses after claiming to be a servant of The Big E. Incredible stuff! I also really like your alpha legion one. Also an incredibly gripping story but for this story this is one of my favorite tales of yours, Baldermort.

Incredible. The story was delightfully horrifying and coupled with the lore and excellent narration gave me chills. The Word Bearers truly are the biggest threat facing the Imperium of Man. The only faction truly interested in the Soul of Mankind and they may win it. Truly horrifying.

Baldemort and Oculus Imperia have proven to me that the 40K fanbase is a friggen phenomenon. I can't think of a single game that has inspired more fans to become content creators. 40K is capturing the imagination of my local gaming community and the LGS is thriving because of it. At every opportunity, I point people to this channel and Oculus. Both deserve all the subs and likes. The effort and talent of this community as a whole is the stuff of legends. I am so happy and proud to be a part of it. Keep it up, Baldemort! You're one of a kind and being a 40K narrator is what you were born to do. Ave Imperator!

Never seen this channel before, gotta say, first line in and I feel like I just bought this audio book from black library. Brilliant quality, outstanding actually. Keep going mate, when this hits the wider 40k audience, I think this will go down a absolute treat! Liked, subbed, shared. No problem.

Arch (of Warhammer fame) did a good video about Lorgar. Essentially, Lorgar was always a monster. He excused his actions by blaming others. First, he tried to put it on the Emperor. The Emperor, through the actions at Monarchia, rebuked Lorgar. So, Lorgar, unwilling to face the things he'd done, went looking for another "god" he can use to justify his actions. And the Chaos gods were waiting.

This is truly incredible work! I subscribed within just a few minutes. You give a fantastic Chaos sermon. I have heard audiobooks of much lower quality than this fine video. I will certainly check out the rest of the content you create.

Had a new revelation concerning the Blood Ravens.......... The Blood Ravens were created for the dawn of war series of games. In the faction introduction for Chaos dark crusade and the dialogue between the Blood Ravens and Chaos. The answers lie there..... The Gene father for the Blood Ravens is.......... Lorgar Aurelian! Known also as the Urizen (wisest of the wise) in light of all this just think of thier battle cry:" knowledge is power, guard it well." TTFN!

@@baldermort Also in the Chaos intro cut scene where the word bearers are fighting the Ultra Marines the Chaos banner bearer's banner looks strikingly like the Blood Ravens chapter banner. Whether this banner is simply an oversight by the developers of the game or not, the game originally wasn't cannon, but over time it has become official lore. TTFN!

@@baldermort The only other legion that one could argue given this (revelation) would be the Red Angel's Bloody thirteenth. But the Blood Ravens lack the um......
