Lore WTF: Book of Lorgar

[Slap Happy Pappy]

In chapter 2 you can find a hidden "book of lorgar" among the rabble of Footfall.

It is treated as any other piece of cargo. That item is so insanely heretical, that everyone on the installation would be burned. Merely READING the text, without actually understanding it, can manifest a demon.

The game treats it as vendor trash. BIG miss.

(I get they're doing a callout to the rogue trader series of books)

Who said it's a real copy of Book and not fake like "xenos" in Footfall zoo?

Yes, have same impression that this is an easter egg item.

It doesn't have to be real to have power. Mere knowledge of such a thing's existence infuses it with power. Bamely, if the reader believes it is real, then it is real.

Bamely? WTF? NAMELY.

There’s only one problem there. To understand what the ‘Book of Lorgar’ even is requires totally forbidden knowledge already. If you even know the name of a traitor Primarch you’ve learned entirely forbidden knowledge you can be executed for.

In one of the books (war of the beast era I think) an Inquisitor finds the plinths with the Primarchs deep on Terra and is confused as to why there are eighteen statues not nine.

Its just fanfiction.

It's a different Lorgar.

I would simply not become a heretic if I read it

You know whats more heretical? After Horus Heresy, Imperium uses Lorgar's edited book as their religious dogma. HA-HA-HA!
