After Horus issued his muster for the traitor primarch's to gather at [[Ullanor]] in preparation for the march to Terra, Fulgrim still could not be found. Thus [[Lorgar]] volunteered to find Fulgrim and bring him back to Horus' war effort. By accessing the [[Webway]], Lorgar and his entourage eventually arrived inside the [[Eye of Terror]] and then the [[Palace of Slaanesh]] itself. Inside, they found Fulgrim engaged in debauchery and degeneracy with his new consort, [[N'Kari]]. Fulgrim refused Lorgar's demand to come to Ullanor with him, stating that he simply did not care about the war anymore. Lorgar refused to back down, and the two sides came to battle. As Fulgrim was about to strike Lorgar, the [[Dark Apostle]] [[Zardu Layak]] uttered the secret [[True Name]] of Fulgrim's newly elevated Daemonic form. Fulgrim was bound to the will of Layak, and forced to come with Lorgar. With a cry across the Warp, Fulgrim gathered the Emperor's Children back to himself and by the time the Word Bearers reached Ullanor, the Legion was whole once more.{{Fn|16}}
In truth, Lorgar intended to use the enslaved Fulgrim as part of a plan for him to kill Horus and take his place as Warmaster. However when Lorgar's coup quickly unraveled when the oracle [[Actaea]] revealed his plans to Horus, and Zardu Layak freed Fulgrim from his binding instead of ordering him to attack Horus as originally intended. Fulgrim urged Horus to kill Lorgar, but instead the Primarch was banished from the Warmaster's sight after a vicious beating. Fulgrim licked the blood from Lorgar's taste, enjoying the sweet taste of revenge upon his former jailer. Fulgrim stayed by Horus' side during the muster at Ullanor and he and the Emperor's Children pledged themselves to the march on Terra.{{Fn|16}} During the final stages of the [[Solar War]], Fulgrim appeared aboard the ''[[Pride of the Emperor]]'' as part of the massive traitor fleet.{{Fn|18}}
Horus' rebellion spread, bringing the entire Imperium into civil war. All trace of decency amongst the Emperor's Children had vanished by the time they partook in the [[Siege of Terra]]. While other [[Traitor Legions]] assaulted the [[Imperial Palace]], the Emperor's Children embarked upon a spree of terror and gratification amongst the helpless citizenry of Terra. Under Fulgrim, billions of defenceless civilians were used as experimental subjects in the effort to create ever-more powerful stimulants and pleasure-inducing chemicals, used to suffer daemons, or were simply killed to sate the bloodlust of the Legion.{{Fn|1}}
