| “ | From the fires of Betrayal unto the blood of revenge we bring the name of Lorgar, the Bearer of the Word, the favored Son of Chaos, all praise be given to him. | „ |
| ~ One of the many passages of the Book of Lorgar. |
The Word Bearers are major antagonists in Warhammer 40k, one of the more prominent Traitor Legions, and due to the actions of their members, are major overarching antagonists of the Horus Heresy. Originally the XVIIth Legion of the Imperium of Man, they are lead by their Primarch Lorgar and were fiercely devoted worshipers and followers of the Emperor of Mankind. Among the firsts in the galaxy to praise and worship the Emperor as a divine god, this devotion and piousness would eventually serve as the fuel for the flames of their daemonic corruption and fall from grace. With their leaders serving as the masterminds behind the corruption of Horus, the Word Bearers replaced their intense religious faith to the Emperor with unbridled dedication to the hellish forces of Chaos.
