The Serpent Lodge is a Davinite tribal warrior society, a Chaos cult on Davin. Erebus persuaded the newly named Sons of Horus to let Davinite shamans heal Horus, wounded by the anathame, in the “house of healing”. In the course of dark rites Horus’s spirit was carried into the Immaterium, where he was shown a nightmare of a future theocracy that worships the Emperor but not Horus — a manipulation that swayed him to betray the Emperor for power over the galaxy.
