The Chapter Master prayed regularly for the ability to tell truth from lies to better carry out their duties. Unfortunately, [[GodOfEvil Tzeentch]] granted his prayer, and from then on they heard every lie being spoken ''across the Imperium'' (to give an example, a lot of the Imperial creed was written by one of the Traitor Primarchs before he turned). They fell to Chaos ''very'' quickly, and their battlecry is now "THE LIES, THE LIES!".
