About “The First Heretic”
The First Heretic by Aaron Dembski-Bowden recounts the fall of Primarch Lorgar and the 17th Space Marine Legion, the Word Bearers, to Chaos. It details their deviation from the Imperial Truth through the introduction of religious worship, the public censure by the Emperor, and their eventual covert embrace of the Primordial Truth, with the narrative primarily told from the perspective of Captain Argel Tal. The story spans several decades, beginning 43 years before the events on Isstvan V and concluding as the Word Bearers prepare to assault Calth.
