Changes

The rot spread from Fulgrim to his brother Lord Commanders, then to company and squad leaders, and finally all but a bare handful of Marines followed Slaanesh rather than the Emperor. The remaining loyalists, led by [[Saul Tarvitz]], a Captain of the Emperors Children, fought bravely on [[Isstvan III]] but were eventually overwhelmed as Horus, and the three Primarchs who had already declared for him wiped out those forces they believed would remain loyal to the Emperor. The Legion then gleefully proceeded to aid in the destruction of the arriving loyalist legions.

All trace of decency amongst the Emperor's Children had vanished by the time they partook in the [[Siege of Terra]]. 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 Earth. Billions of defenceless civilians were used as experimental subjects in the effort to create ever-more powerful stimulants and pleasure-inducing chemicals, or were simply killed to sate the bloodlust of the Legion.¹
