==History==

===Pre-Heresy===

The [[Primarch]] of the Word Bearers, [[Lorgar]], vanished while still an infant, just like all of the other Primarchs. He was discovered on a [[Feudal World]] named [[Colchis]], which he had eventually unified in a series of brutal religious wars in response to his visions of the [[Emperor]]'s coming arrival. When the Emperor did arrive, as Lorgar had foreseen, the Primarch dropped to his knee, leading the population of his world in rejoicing and worship of the Emperor as a god. At the conclusion of these festivities, the Emperor bade Lorgar take his best warriors and induct them into his Space Marine Legion and join him on the [[Great Crusade]]. Lorgar appointed trustworthy regents to rule over Colchis and devoutly complied with his father's direction.
