The tech priest played the next video in the series as the family turned to the screen.

Chapter Three: The Lorgarian Crusade and the Fall of Ultramar

Lorgar was surprised and said, "Lorgarian Crusade." Meanwhile Roboute was worried and asked, "Fall of Ultramar?"

The Fourteenth Black Crusade of Abaddon was his greatest movement since the First, enshrouding a thousand worlds in darkness. It began in the middle centuries of M42, as the galaxy still reeled from the birth-cries of the Holy Tyrant. From the Eye of Terror an unholy tide of corruption struck, as armies not seen since the Horus Heresy ravaged Segmentum Obscurus, before warring amongst themselves for sport and spite, destroying what chance of galactic conquest they might have had. But then, a tiding of tremendous darkness came.

The sight of the Fourteenth Black Crusade saddened many in the room, while the others had a strange mixture of pride and disgust.

Lorgar Aurelian, daemon-Primarch of the Word Bearers, rose from the Templum Inficio, and re-united the Word Bearers Legion. In a tremendous burst of psychic power, Sicarus relocated itself to the Maelstrom. From Ghalmek's core rose the Hell-ship Blasphematium, an immense flagship the size of a moon that had been under construction for ten thousand years, ripping the planet apart as it rose into the stars, under the control of the Dark Apostle Eliphas the Resurrected, Ravager of Kronus and Bane of Aurelia, reborn in new flesh to raze Ultramar to the ground.

Lorgar turned to Roboute and said, "I don't blame you for what happened anymore." Roboute was surprised, then realized that the videos had revealed the horrible path Lorgar had been walking. As such, all Roboute could say was, "Thanks for that."

The Word Bearers ravaged Chogoris and Valhalla, razing those worlds to dust. The Warp roiled as the wars raging in the material universe filled it with new and terrible emotions, as Lorgar's wrathful rampage slaughtered whole planets. Whole worlds were converted into sacrificial altars to the four powers of Chaos, and the baleful glare of the Eye of Terra, its terrible light serving as a reference point for the Navigator mutant-breed, was dimmed as the aether roiled and stormed in wrath. Lorgar had new and more terrible forces under his command - the black-hearted Knights Evangelistii, the Hell-Guard of Sicarus, and innumerable daemons. They fell upon the world of San Leor, birth-place of the Adepta Sororitas, with baleful fury. Fifty thousand Word Bearers formed Lorgar's body-guard on that black day, killing all in their path. The remnants of the Adepta's Orders Militant had established themselves upon San Leor, and stood as a bulwark against the foul tide.

Jagathai Khan spared a single glare at Lorgar and left it at that.

The Battle of San Leor was epic and terrible. Daemon-sorceries set the sky afire, as Lorgar faced the Abbess Militant herself, and broke her. The Sisters resolved not to win, but to kill as many as they could. And that they did. Not a single Sister ran or tried to surrender, as the Word Bearers slew every every last living soul upon San Leor. The seas boiled and the world's tectonic plates dislocated under the fury of Lorgar's orbital bombardment. But Lorgar was denied victory, for at the last moment, as Lorgar gloated over his victory, a secret stash of cyclonic torpedoes was set off, blasting the world apart. San Leor was killed most emphatically, yet in its death a storm of asteroids destroyed the fleet of the Word Bearers, ending the Lorgarian Crusade.

The Tech Priest noted, "Say what you will about there beliefs, they know how to kick chaotic butt." The Emperor was the first to agree.

At Ultramar the war was yet different. The Blasphematium arrived to find the Ultramarines struggling against the silvered hosts of Imotekh the Stormlord. The Necron Overlord, Master of the Sautekh Dynasty, had allied with Trazyn the Infinite to bring Ultramar, which bordered his growing empire, to heel. Support from their many successors had arrived, but the Ultramarines could not win against the unending tide of metal. Eliphas joined the melee with aplomb, razing Calth where Kor Phaeron had failed in the dark times of the Heresy, obliterating every last soul upon it. The daemon-choirs of Eliphas' flagship were unleashed, covering Ultramar in a Warp-squall which prevented astropath-communications from leaking out.

Roboute was saddened by the sight of his empire being destroyed.

The Second Battle of Macragge was a three-way war, as Necron and Word Bearer and Ultramarine did battle against each other. Cato Sicarius, victor of Medusa V, was last seen hewing into the ranks of Necron Lychguard with his tempest-blade at the north polar defence fortress, defending Macragge. The Honour Guard were slain to a man as they defended Marneus Calgar by Trazyn the Infinite, who took the stasis-locked body of Guilliman as a trophy. The Fortress of Hera swiftly, after the extermination of the Ultramarines (save for the Fourth and Tenth Companies) became the stage for war between the Stormlord's forces and those of Eliphas. The Blasphematium unleashed terrible beams of Warp-fire and blasts of immatricial energy upon the Necron hosts, yet Eliphas himself was defeated, losing an arm to the Stormlord, narrowly escaping and declaring undying vengeance. The Blasphematium itself was severely damaged and would become a ghost, a phantom ship, for the ten centuries until the Fourth Armageddon War.

The Tech Priest adopted a perfect mimicry of Cato Sicarius and said, "I, Cato Sicarius, have realized what a butthole that I, Cato Sicarius, have been. Thus I, Cato Sicarius, shall seek redemption in death." The Imperial Family chuckled at that.

The galaxy was as dark as it had been in the times of the Horus Heresy. Yet worse was to come.

The Emperor was worried and he asked, "WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN THIS?"
