In truth, Lorgar intended to use the enslaved Fulgrim as part of a plan for him to kill Horus and take his place as Warmaster. However when Lorgar's coup quickly unraveled when the oracle [[Actaea]] revealed his plans to Horus, and Zardu Layak freed Fulgrim from his binding instead of ordering him to attack Horus as originally intended. Fulgrim urged Horus to kill Lorgar, but instead the Primarch was banished from the Warmaster's sight after a vicious beating. Fulgrim licked the blood from Lorgar's taste, enjoying the sweet taste of revenge upon his former jailer. Fulgrim stayed by Horus' side during the muster at Ullanor and he and the Emperor's Children pledged themselves to the march on Terra.{{Fn|16}} During the final stages of the [[Solar War]], Fulgrim appeared aboard the ''[[Pride of the Emperor]]'' as part of the massive traitor fleet.{{Fn|18}}
Horus' rebellion spread, bringing the entire Imperium into civil war. All trace of decency amongst the Emperor's Children had vanished by the time they partook in the [[Siege of Terra]]. During the early stages of the Siege Fulgrim did little, goading [[Angron]] into fits of fury for his own amusement and constantly requesting that Horus let him be unleashed upon Terra.{{Fn|19}} While other [[Traitor Legions]] assaulted the [[Imperial Palace]], the Emperor's Children embarked upon a spree of terror and gratification amongst the helpless citizenry of Terra. Under Fulgrim, billions of defenceless civilians were used as experimental subjects in the effort to create ever-more powerful stimulants and pleasure-inducing chemicals, used to suffer daemons, or were simply killed to sate the bloodlust of the Legion.{{Fn|1}}
