Well, unfortunately, they often don't
Lifelong Protection and Soul Contract give horror marks, and some armors and artifacts do as well. I suggest you download Zen's Magic Item Quick Reference guide (
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/d2/6.htm) as it lists some of the unmentioned side effects... of course, it also spoils some of the fun, so don't read things you don't need to read
A unit with horror marks eventually gets attacked by a horror, which is usually fatal, unless you gear it specifically to fight horrors (they have high defense, are ethereal, and ignore protection - lucky coin + fire sword are a good cheap combo that will often keep soul-contracted Jotuns safe from horrors). Horror marks can also be a result of magic sites and random events (IIRC) and hostile battle spells, though. Never put horror-marking items on your god, even if (s)he is very powerful; it's just not worthwhile.
