→The First Purge
'''The Brotherhood''' is an internal sect within the [[Word Bearers]] legion. It has been formed three times, the first two at the explicit order of the [[Primarch]] [[Lorgar]], and the third at the order of [[Kor Phaeron]]. Each time its purpose was to purge the legion's ranks. Lorgar is noted to have been mournful and acted with great reluctance everytime he was forced to form '''The Brotherhood.'''<sup>1</sup>
===The First Purge===
The first purge occurred prior to [[Colchis]] being united with the [[Imperium]], and occurred to purge the ranks of the [[the Covenant of Colchis|Covenant]] of those who were swaying from the will of Lorgar. Fully a third of the population of Colchis was slaughtered.<sup>1</sup>
