Anything below is made for (and by) the omnissiah. You can read it though, just a summary of the banger of a video you're watching.

This video is not about Lorgar alone. This is about his sons — the Word Bearers — and the single most traumatic event in their history: the Burning of Monarchia, told from their perspective.

Before Chaos. Before Erebus became a punchline. Before the Heresy was inevitable.
The Word Bearers were penitents, zealots, conquerors, and believers — forged through brutality, indoctrination, and faith. They didn’t just conquer worlds; they erased rival beliefs, built monuments to the Emperor, and ensured loyalty down to the bone.

And then Monarchia burned.
