Spoilers I guess for the end of The First Heretic by ADB. Been gone for like over a decade, and came back just to post niche warhammer crap (I'm reading the horus heresy. Send thoughts and prayers.) I may post a lot of crap making fun of Konrad in the near future.
I kinda love that one bit in the beginning of First Heretic where Lorgar and Magnus are bonding over having trouble with their Astartes, and Lorgar's just gone on a whole spiel about Kor Phaeron+Erebus becoming ("becoming" lol) nasty little nakedly ambitious cunning viziers and Argel Tal being a chronically depressed demon-infested sad boy, then goes to Magnus "But I imagine it's the same with you and Ahriman"
Which is like...I mean...kind of?? Not really though??
Like Ahriman is increasingly resentful of Magnus and Magnus is increasingly frustrated by Ahriman, but Magnus also isn't sending two of his troubled adult sons to Calth in the hopes they die or ignoring the fact one of said troubled sons is about to murder the third depressed one.
It's like if you told your mom friend "I don't know what to do, my daughters staying out past curfew and cursing at me lately, our relationships broken down" and she replied "Yeah I get it, my eldest son keeps setting the back bedroom on fire after locking his siblings inside and it's like god damn it not again, enough with the fires. But you know how it is"
No, no I don't know how that is at all, actually, fucking what
Lorgar from the first chapters of The First Heretic
You don't. You don't say.
“And if you gaze long enough into the warp, the warp will gaze back into you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
I'm so normal about First Heretic
As bright as the sun,' Cyrene whispered, crying now. 'I see gold, and gold, and gold.'
A hand the size of her head touched her with a ghost's softness, thick fingertips brushing her cheeks, drying her tears. She breathed out a sigh without meaning to, somewhere between a sob and a laugh.
'Cyrene,' Lorgar's voice was resonant and low in her ears. 'I am told you are something of a talisman to my warriors. A lucky charm, if you will.'
'I couldn't say, my lord.'
'I am not your lord,' Lorgar gently stroked her features, fingertips smoothing along her nose, her cheekbones, her jawline. It was as if he were the blind one, needing to touch her to imagine her features. 'Your life is your own, not mine - not anyone's - to claim.
Argel Tal: ‘We will return with the answers the Legion needs. You have my word,’ he gestured to the parchment bound to his shoulder guard, ‘and my oath of moment’.
ADB: btw Lorgar's wearing lipstick!
The smile remained upon the primarch’s painted lips.
.... searching for this in my copy of FIRST HERETIC, Lorgar's lips sure get mentioned a lot. Appropriate, I suppose, as that's one place he bears the Word but still. *side-eyes ADB*
In his Primarch Book (Lorgar: Bearer of the Word) Lorgar's eyes were violet, in The First Heretic his eyes on page 152 are grey, and in Betrayer his eyes are more red.
Pretty sure this is not an inconsistency, but perhaps an intentionally described change over time as he falls to Chaos?
"Eyes are the window to the soul" thought is cooking again (Cyrene my beloved). i have to pay more attention though, i feel like i've missed a lot. Also good to ask how other characters perceive him as well.
Were his eyes not gold at one point, or turn that maybe? or am i thinking of fanart 😭
