The Lords of Desolation were a warband led by the Word Bearer Sorcerer X’hal Urus.[1]
History
Made up primarily of Traitor Guard and daemons allied with Urus, they burned a thousand worlds in attacks against the Imperium. Their rampage finally came to an end on the planet Sepharis Ultra. As they attacked the planet, they were caught by surprise as Black Templars drop pods landed amongst them. In the ensuing battle, Urus was killed by the Emperor's Champion Reinhart, though the Word Bearer managed to kill the Champion as well. With Urus's death, the daemons allied with him were sent back to the warp, leaving the remaining forces of the Lords of Desolation to be destroyed by the Black Templars.[1]
