So after ''Praetorian of Dorn'' and the loss of a fairly major HH character which as I understood it, was only supposed to happen post heresy. Does this mean other fairly large changes could take place that re-shape the established lore we know?

(Spoiler)

Spoiler:
So with the death of Alpharius and Omegon taking the legion reigns, does this mean that Roboute slays Omegon post Heresy? This whole change has irked me as its dramatically dropped part of the Alpha Legion's unique character, also putting to end the theme that the AL were at civil war with one another...

It kinda brings about the whole Alphas actively seeking out other Legions to kick the snot out of. Omegon is obviously mightily peed at this moment.

We'll have to wait and see as

Spoiler:
it's either him that cops it on Eskrador or he is in fact Janus and the events on Eskrador were fabricated

Spoiler:
Or, just maybe, Eskrador never happened in the first place as there was no evidence of it happening and even the Ultramarines have no record of it.

Well, it's questioned, it's not outright denied.

It is included in Inquisitor Kravin's diatribe 'Lessons of Strife', though other Inquisitors and representatives of the Ultramarines themselves have questioned its validity. The original document was purportedly discovered in a system earth-ward of Eskrador.


But


Shortly after the conclave, Inquisitor Girreux publicly accused Kravin of consorting with traitors and conspiring to organize cultist uprisings on the worlds of Kartha IV, V and Archos II in the Korren sub-sector. Girreux challenged Kravin to appear for trial and face the evidence against him, however Kravin's current whereabouts is unknown. Of course this development has called into question the reliability of all Inquisitor Kravin's research, and as he was the leading scholar on the Alpha Legion's history and current activities, much of what was known about them must now be considered a lie. If, as Girreux claims, Kravin has been compromised by the very traitors he sought to investigate, then everything he said must be considered misinformation and propaganda invented by the Alpha Legion


So it's entirely possible that, yes, like we said, the entire thing was fabricated. What better way to cover up that a Primarch is still alive by confirming that he has been killed, by the hands of another Primarch no less. Of course, the IA articles were written long before Omegon had been on the scene and any of the HH series. But if the account of Eskrador were true, Guilliman would not know that Alpharius had a twin and that he would have been convinced that he was facing Alpharius himself.

With the way the heresey books are we may even find that the gathering at Eskrador Was where Omegon was stamping his authority and trying to turn the legion back to the emperor but the ultramarines interrupted, its the kind of irony they HH writers like
