Book of Lorgar
From Lexicanum
The Book of Lorgar was said to be a tome penned by the Primarch Lorgar himself, following his dealings with old priesthoods and their dark masters. His Astartes Legion, the Word Bearers, held this text as almost sacred, in spite of the concern this caused for others, including the Emperor himself.
Chaplain Erebus bore tattoos upon his shaven scalp said to depict long passages from the book, that he might terrify his foes with the strength of his conviction. While attempting to decode these tattoos and text from the book itself, Imperial iterator Kyril Sindermann inadvertantly summoned a daemon from the Warp which destroyed many of the archives aboard the Vengeful Spirit before it was banished once more.
The way the book is conceived can be observed by the following extract from the novel, Dark Apostle by Anthony Reynolds.
"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. From those that would not heed we offer praise to those who do, that they might turn their gaze our way and gift us with the Boon of Pain, to turn the Galaxy red with the blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods."
