Changes

==The Betrayal==

During a mission on the [[Feral World]] [[Davin]], Horus was wounded in battle, but the natives of the world helped to heal him.² Many modern scholars believe that the group of healers were actually [[Chaos Cultists]] who somehow managed to take advantage of the illness in the Primarch. After this healing, changes in Horus began to occur. It seems from then on, Horus planned and plotted to overthrow the Emperor in what was to become known as the [[Horus Heresy]].

During his illness, he was inducted into a "warrior lodge." Although the ceremony was intended to make him a "brother" rather than an outsider, the lodge was supposedly rife with [[Chaos]] taint, and it accelerated his change. He introduced the taint to the Legions under his direct command, and it spread until it had infected a full half of the [[Space Marine]] Legions of the Imperium. Horus also introduced the concept of deposing the Emperor and installing himself, a stronger leader willing to take the fight to the enemies of [[Humanity]] in his place.
