Changes

Perturabo was leading his Iron Warriors on a campaign to cleanse the [[Hrud]] Warrens on [[Gugann]] when he recieved news that his homeworld, Olympia, was in rebellion. Dammekos was long dead but demagogues had brought the people together and risen in arms. The thought of being the only primarch who could not control his own homeworld appalled him. Horus made the most of the opportunity by presenting Perturabo with a hammer named [[Forgebreaker]]. It is possible that this weapon was one by which the powers of Chaos could influence Perturabo and manipulate his thoughts. Alternativly it could have been seen to be a signing of a pact, a gift from Horus to Perturabo. Perturabo purged Olympia city by city, overruning the fortresses he had built and sparing no one. By the time the massacre was over, five million Olympians had been killed and the rest put in slavery. Perturabo looked on in cold silence. After the pyres were burning, the Iron Warriors realised what they had done. They had changed from the saviors of the [[Imperium]], destroying the Hrud and the next they were committing genocide. Perturabo realised the Emperor could never forgive him for what he had done.
