The Scripts of Erebus
The Scripts of Erebus are long parchments possessed by the Word Bearers that were created by their first Dark Apostle, who inscribed upon them the copies of the runes that cover his own flesh.[1]
The Scripts were written out in blood bearing traces of the Primarch Lorgar's vitae and because of this, the rituals and imprecations they bear are potent messages in the Dark Tongue. When read aloud, The Scripts of Erebus can channel the energy of the Warp into realspace with a staggering degree of stability, allowing the bearer to unleash myriad unnatural deaths upon his enemies, or else banish the powers of their enemy's own Warp-craft. Though the scripts are rendered invisible by each reading, a journey into the Warp causes them to blossom into being once more, ready to unleash fresh carnage upon the worlds of Mankind.[1]
