===The Horus Heresy Book One - Betrayal===
In the Forge World book [[The Horus Heresy Book One - Betrayal]], the Primarchs and their Legions are listed in a table with the names of the II and XI Legions and Primarchs blacked out only as far as the text concealed. The length of these black lines indicates that the name of the II Legion is quite long, only just shorter than "Emperor's Children" and the name of the XI Legion is about the same length as "Thousand Sons". The name of the II Primarch is approximately as long as "Alpharius" (also suggesting just a single name) and the name of the XI Primarch is about the same length as "Magnus the Red" (suggesting either two names or one with a title). The book also states that "Of these twenty Legions, steadily expanding in numbers over time, eighteen would survive to grow into vast forces by the end of the Great Crusade - as to those that did not, nothing can be said in this record."{{Fn|24}}
Also, on the inside cover there is a Galactic Map of the Great Crusade era Imperium. All the important planets, [[Calth]], [[Terra]], [[Fenris]], [[Prospero]], [[Baal]], [[Inwit]], [[Hellion]], etc... are listed. Every known Primarchs' homeworld is shown in its respective location. However, in the [[Segmentum Pacificus]] there's a spot known as the "Finding of the Lost Son". This could be a reference to [[Alpharius]] as he was the last to be found and his homeworld never revealed, or it could reference where one of the lost Primarchs were originally found.
