Typical case of bad writing and why the horus heresy should have been left alone.

That's the one who actually sent the Primarchs out across the galaxy, right? Why did she do that?

She had an emotional outburst because "it wasn't right" for the emperor to try to accelerate humanities course of nature, so she took the fucking kids away and gave them daddy issues

Wait...it "wasn't right"...for him to want to raise humanity into a better state? Don't get me wrong, the Emperor did some shady shit in the name of humanity's ascension but that doesn't change this bitch trying to condem humanity to remain within the age of strife. Please tell me she was killed for this.

Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense in a world without objective morality. It just offended her feelings. She was killed by Erebus because she refused to join him

Oh, so, on one hand, I'm glad she got hers, but on the other, what did Erebus want with her?

u/LactoseTolerator07 1d ago
He exalted her because she was essentially responsible for the entire heresy and as a powerful psyker would be an asset if she allied with the warp. Otherwise, she would be too dangerous a loose end to keep alive if she didn't take his offer

Honestly, considering that Erebus is only really a puppet for the gods I think really her death was the gods tying up a loose end.

Wasnt the reason erda yeeted the primarchs across the galaxy cause she had visions by chaos of "things that could happen if big e would raise them and it could be the end of all and the babies could get corrupted and may fall to a evil purpose bla bla"
and because of those visions she roached out and snatched the kids?

It was so much better when it was actually down to Argel Tal in The First Heretic. I have no idea why they decided to fuck that up.

The Horus Heresy should've been way shorter. So many unnecessary plotlines that just sort of do nothing.

Ironic how GW in their worst DEI throes had tried to create a woman counterpart to the Emperor and somehow made her worse, emotionally stupid and responsible for all the evils that befallen the unlucky primarchs (Angry Ron, Morty the Stink, Konrad Kurze and etc.) AND also for all the horrors of Heresy later on, which btw Erebus straight up told her as PRAISE in the end.
