Changes

'''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 every time he was forced to form The the Brotherhood.{{Fn|1x}}

The third purge never actually occurred, instead it was halted in its tracks by Lord [[Erebus]] and the [[Dark Apostle]] [[Marduk]]. The Brotherhood was re-formed after the [[Horus Heresy]], for the third time, by the Keeper of Faith, [[Kor Phaeron]]. Lorgar had been sealed away for millennia within the [[Templum Inficio]] on [[Sicarus]] and in his absence the [[Dark Council]] had ruled. Kor Phaeron believed that [[Erebus]] had swayed the council to his will and held too much power within the legion, which he was seemingly molding to his will. The Third Brotherhood was discovered by Erebus and its ringleaders were identified by Marduk, during the dark crusade against [[Boros Gate]]. The Dark Council acted swiftly and put down The Brotherhood. Kor Phaeron, however, was left unchallenged, because he severed all ties with The the Brotherhood when the sect was compromised and Erebus was unwilling to challenge the Master of Faith further, explaining to Marduk that such power struggles between himself and Kor Phaeron were common but that they meant nothing.{{Fn|1b}}
