no edit summary
In the novel, the battles of Fulgrim and the [[Emperor's Children]] are juxtaposed with the work of the [[Remembrancer|Remembrancers]] who work in the 28th Expedition, and their parallel fall into decadence. The Emperor's Children were obsessed with perfection - due to the lack of warriors around the discovery of Fulgrim, there was no way that Fulgrim's legion could compare with the [[Luna Wolves]] or [[Ultramarines]] for quantity of victories, so they concentrated on the quality of victory. After the Laeran campaign, [[Fabius Bile|Apothecary Fabius]] was ordered to enhance the warriors of the legion by adding organs to the marines. By tampering with the [[geneseed]] of the [[legion]], Fulgrim was commmitting [[heresy]], yet he continued modifying the legion in such a way behind closed doors. This [[mutation]] was effected on many, including [[Eidolon]].
Fulgrim valued art and beauty above much, but as the whispers of [[Slaanesh]] slowly changed him, he and his legion begen to indulge in orgies, culminating in a concert which summoned daemons to the stage. This corruption also caused Fulgrim to destroy many [[Eldar]] [[Maiden Worlds]], even after a meeting with [[Eldrad Ulthran]]. After the [[Istvaan III]] war between the Loyalist troops on the ground (including [[Saul Tarvitz]] and [[Lucius]]), Fugrim travelled to the [[Istvaan V]] [[Drop Site Massacre]], and overcame his brother, [[Ferrus Manus]], while he and his brethren, the [[World Eaters]], [[Sons of Horus ]] and [[Death Guard ]] slaughtered the [[Iron Hands]], [[Raven Guard ]] and [[Salamanders]]. At the coming of the other traitor Legions, the [[Night Lords]], [[Iron Warriors]], [[Word Bearers]], and [[Alpha Legion]], Fulgrim was indecicive over killing his brother, who he had previously tried to woo to the [[Horus Heresy]], finally gave in to the Deamon who had been tempting him for the entire novel, and beheads Manus.
The Daemon-Fulgrim, having locked the real Fulgrim in a painting aboard a ghost ship, gives the head to his brother, [[Horus]], who vows to release Fulgrim.
