If Daemons can destroy people with just their names, why were Reboute, Rogal Dorn, Sanguinius, the Lion, Vulkan, Ferrus Manus, Corvus Corax, Leman Russ, and Malcador all safe?
Simple, they weren't daemons!

The Emperor was a daemon?

It depends on what you mean by name and what language it is, in english, name is the title of a person that describes him

I think maybe he's alluding to the fact that part of the Emperor is trapped in the warp? Obvioulsy we'll never have any concrete information on this, but perhaps you could take the view that the Emperor could be influenced in such a way because of the part of him that's in the warp? Personally I doubt it, but it's not entirely baseless.

So this realm of chaos book, have any of you read it? Because the information on Lex is just a rough retelling summed up, the point i was trying to get across is that in the actual book, Lex says that the events and stories about the emperor aren't from first hand accounts merely rough tales.
Hell theres a tale that Leman Russ fought a Kraken 'its tenacles could wrap around fenris but russ deemed it too small so he through it back into the sea' ya... and i shoot thunderbolts out of my arse!

Read it? I own it. Both of them.
And the tale of Russ fighting the Kraken is considered to be a legend, even by the modern Space Wolves. Based on true events, but grown in the telling.

Ture, but in the absense of any other official theories, it's pretty much canon. And "rough tales" can still have lots of elements of truth to them.
Besides, I think that GW writes some things deliberately unclearly so that they're easy to go back and change or retcon later on.

Yes, I've read them both. And of course there are no first hand accounts, he's 10,000 years old today, so there's only rough tales about his origin. You have literally the entire thread telling you that his origin is a fact. Just admit that we're all right.

A non-canon, but an amazing story of the Emperor. Make sure you read all the way to the end for the full effect.
Personally, I think his name, lost to the mists of time, is Urechyobureniho. (An Internet for the first to get the reference).

To drown our sorrows with our English beer!

As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of alcohol blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood. |
