LORGAR AURELIAN - The Urizen | Warhammer 40k Lore

For this Transmission of Traitor Primarch we shall Elucidate the deeds of the Urizen: Lorgar Aurelian.

A zealout since the beginning of his life upon the world of Colchis, the Golden One would be the first to fall prey to the Chaos Gods in their plot to overthrow the Imperium.

Leading his Word Bearers both during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, the Bearer of the Word would whisper treacheries into the minds of the Traitor Primarchs and begin Humanity's slow decline into a dystopian carcass of it's former glory...

I am The Remembrancer.

It is my duty to retell the stories and chronicles of the glorious Imperium of Mankind.

Via voxlink and transmission I shall send my tales through the Warp in the hopes that the Imperium might hear of it's forgotten histories and Remember it's sacred past.

For in the grim darkness of the far future there is only War.

Ironically, Lorgar was right about faith, as it’s what’s keeping the Imperium together these days.

[boydsinclair]

Fun fact: Word Bearers repainted their armour red as a sign of their new loyalty, the World Eaters just stopped cleaning theirs 😅

[datemasamune]

So much could be avoided if Emperor just sat down and talked to his sons. XD

[madmike]

Lorgar was the one and only character who was right from start to finish.

[guywholikesmemes]

Lorgar was right about the emperor: he's called the anathema by abstractions on the spectrum of chaos, his avatar is psychically viewed differently by everyone and the existence of keeler during the heresy before he even got on the throne and started being worshipped implies his power is beyond time, space and so forth, something only an omnipotent omniscient and omnipresent abstract concept limited in avatar space (like how your 3d body can't enter 2d paper but can draw a character for yourself) would be. The tragedy is that order as an abstract is very stingy, and if he needs to deny his people's spiritual needs and desires to deny the corrupted avatars potential power, so be it. Of course lorgar didn't know that, which plays into the tragedy of his character even more, because he was the emperor's will to find the truth no matter what and ironically enough: he did just that, it's just he let it go in the end to serve corrupt avatars ruined by a millions of years long war Millenias prior to the rest of warhammer.

"All I ever wanted was the truth"

And as Jack Nicholson would say:
"You can't handle the truth!"

[starseniormasterspecialist]

He was failed at the start. He is definitely one of the Fallen my heart broke for.

[ahc]

Lorgar is one of my favorite traitor primarch

[flaviomonteiro]

"All I ever wanted is the truth...", proceeds to beat Lorgar with a baseball bat aptly named "The Truth".

[PelinalDidNothingWrong]

I know I'm probably gonna get shot by The Inquisition for this but....LORGAR WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG! FAITH IS THE ONE THING HOLDING THE IMPERIUM TOGETHER!

[lukasz.adamski]

Lorgar is one of my favourite primarch. Yet, as a irreligious, bitter person I feel far greater bond with Perturabo - Emperor's most unloved son.
What I like in Lorgar is his deep care for the others. Unlike Emperor, who didn't bother, he tried to help Angron. He even forgave his abusive step-father.

[Suika_Ibuki_The_Drunk_Oni]

Emperor did deny his divinity to Lorgar few times, but it didn't matter, for it only made Lorgar believe his divinity even more. Emperor saying "I am no god" Only made Lorgar believe it even more, for only truly divine could show such astronomical levels of humility.

[ThatOneElfEnjoyer]

As a huge Chaos fan, the word Bearers are among my favourite Traitor legions.

[sketch]

I've been studying Warhammer 40k for around the years and have listened to a lot of lore but I think yourself and maybe one or two others are the greatest of the devoted of the creators. I've listened to almost your entire list of content and I just wasted to take some time and thank you. You've taught me a lot and I've enjoyed every second of it.

[Hartmansgrad]

Ah yes, Kaela Mensha Khaine...the eldar god of jobbers

[loganpickells]

6:32 LORECRIME! He was given command of the 17th legion. The 16th legion was the Luna Wolves, later Sons of Horus. Just because you make a video on your channel does not mean you escape the lorecrimes. Lol, seriously though, I really appreciate the work you do, keep it up!

[starseniormasterspecialist]

If anyone hasn't you must read/listen to The First Heretic. The beginning alone will suck you right into the world of the word bearers and make you run the gauntlet with them.

[quintinjansevanvuuren]

He set out to find the truth and the truth was horrifying. He got what he wanted. His objectives and that of his Legion was secured. The Gods have their feast of misery as they pick humanity's bones clean. Lorgar was right. The Word Bearers were the only ones who walked away from the Heresy with anything that resembled victory. But despite all that they're still lost and damned. They're favoured servants of the Pantheon who would see the entire galaxy mired in strife and suffering. They knew and understood this and still signed off on the death of their species. They won. But at a cost nobody could or should have had to pay. This is what Warhammer is. It's dark, bleak and hopeless. For everyone. There are no winners. There is only rage against the dying of the light. If I wanted a happy ending I'd go watch Star Wars.

[MADSAHAD]

Ok, it has taken me a long time to be able to sit down and listen to this one.
I have been a member if the the WH49K community for 30 yrs this coming summer, so I have been witness to all the lore as it came out and all of the changes WH40K has gone through. The Emperor and the Primarchs are amazing to say the least. The Primarchs were made as the Emperor's attempt to be able to govern the Imperium once the Crusade was over, in the Crusade, they were to be his top Generals. They also had a small amount of the Emperor in them, his hopes, dreams, visions, etc. We all know this, I honestly can look at any of the other 17 Primarchs and their Legions and find something that I can say "Yes, I agree with that and I can totally see myself collecting and playing that legion!" Except the 17th, The Word Bearers and Lorgar, I can not. In fact, when I started collecting and building my WH40K armies no matter which faction I picked, I always saw my army fighting the Word Bearers and what I needed to crush them utterly. Early in the 2nd Edition days, I would seek out players that had Word Bearer armies and play against them, in the back of my mind, I wanted, I needed to defeat them as if it would erase the taint of them from WH40K, to stop people from fielding Word Bearer armies. As time past, I learned more and more about them and the other legions as more and more info came available, and now, thanks to people like The Remembrancer, the Primarchs are being fleshed out. You can see and understand the motivations that drove one Primarch to stay loyal while another turned traitor. But Lorgar and 17th, can not get over that hump, I can not understand him and or them. I still ask myself, what part of the Emperor is Lorgar supposed to be?
Lorgar saw the Emperor the same way a young boy would see his larger than life father. He saw Emperor as a Superhero figure, I too looked up to my father in that way until I reached a level of maturity and my father and I sat a spoke. I saw him in a different way, he was still a figure of awe to me but also a man. Granted the Emperor is no ordinary man but Lorgar should have reached a level of understanding and not at least a level of respect for the Emperor and obeyed the Emperor's wishes for the time being. Lorgar was given enough chances to conform to the Emperor's plans, but Lorgar thought that he knew better, so we have what we have here, a hit mess!

P.S. I still like blasting Word Bearers in the face with Twin-Linked Lascannon😜

[emperorconstantine.]

Oh, how the Imperium truly needs Pre-Traitor Lorgar to rekindle the faith and become stronger than ever in resistance to Chaos and temptation.
