included information from "The First Heretic" in which a daemon describes the emperor petitioning the Chaos Gods for the power to create the primarchs
==Creation of the Primarchs==
They The primarchs were created in a secret underground laboratory on [[Luna]] under tightest security. However[[Ingethel The Ascended]] told the [[Word Bearers|Word Bearer]] [[Argel Tal]] that The Emperor sought out the gods of Chaos and asked them for the lore he needed to create the primarchs. In exchange, he promised to reveal the Primordial Truth to Humanity, but reneged on his oath. To protect the primarchs from the forces of Chaos, he protected their incubators with [[ChaosGeller Field]] somehow s.<sup>15</sup> However, the forces of Chaos managed to spirit them away just prior to their maturation and it . In [[The First Heretic (Novel)|The First Heretic]], Tal, who has been taken back in time by Ingethel, destroys the Geller Field generator which protects them. It is speculated that they the forces of Chaos also managed to tamper with the infant Primarchs. These were scattered across the galaxy, beyond the Emperor's reach, and all of them landed on different worlds. The Emperor could sense that the infant Primarchs were alive, but was unable to reach them. Therefore he used their previously collected DNA samples to create the [[Space Marine]]s. The genetic material of each one of them was used to found a single [[Space Marine Legion]], twenty in total.
Their homeworlds and their infancy would influence and mould them to a large extent. There they quickly grew to adulthood and often rose to power, ruling, leading, and helping the inhabitants. As the Emperor found them, he was generally pleased by their actions, and quickly gave them the leadership of their respective legion.
