The '''Dark Council''' is a collection of the [[Word Bearers]] Legion's most powerful [[Dark Apostles]] and is the main ruling body of [[Sicarus]].
The council also leads the Word Bearers legion in the absence of [[Lorgar]], who has isolated himself within the [[Templum Inficio]] for millennia, forbidding anyone to disturb his meditations.{{Fn|2a}} The council is based in the immense cathedral fortress – the '''Basilica of the Word'''. They have the power to elevate the First Acolyte of a Host to the rank of Dark Apostle and are said to have the power to pluck the souls of those who have failed them from the [[warp]], and torment them endlessly for eternity.{{cite thisCite Marker End}}
