|Disturbed by the complaints of Varvarus, the Council of Terra orders Primarch [[Fulgrim]] to attend upon the 63rd Expedition, to make sure everything there is in order. Along with a small contingent of Emperor’s Children, he joins the 63rd for a brief period, spending nearly all of it in private council with Horusand Erebus. He is swayed to Horus' cause and agrees to bring Ferrus Manus into the fold. [[Chief Apothecary]] [[Fabius]], with the authority of the Warmaster himself, takes the anathame from Apothecary Vaddon. Loken next sees it belted to the waist of Primarch Fulgrim, just as the Primarch and the Emperor’s Children contingent takes its leave.

|Aboard the ''Vengeful Spirit''
|Horus reveals his plan to depose the Emperor to his trusted commanders: Maloghurst, Aximand, Abaddon, Regulus, Erebus, [[Princeps]] [[Turnet]] and various officers, naming them his War Council. Lorgar and Fulgrim have also sworn themselves to Horus, and Fulgrim has been sent to sway [[Ferrus Manus]] of the Iron Hands to their cause. The Warmaster announces the [[Chaplain Edict]]; under it Erebus will send emissaries to all Legions targeted to be swayed to the Warmaster. Horus orders the [[Ultramarines]] to mobilise on [[Calth]]; he plans for them to eventually be ambushed and attacked by a large force of Word Bearers led by Kor Phaeron. Horus orders the Blood Angels to mobilise and head for the [[Signus Cluster]], where he has a similarly deadly trap planned for them. He also reveals he has a last trap for other Legions to be sprung in the [[Istvaan]] system.

|4 weeks after leaving the 63rd Expedition
|[[Callinedes]]
|[[Deep Orbital Station DS191]] is recovered from [[Ork]] hands by the Emperor’s Children, first act in a joint campaign by the Children and the [[Iron Hands]] to retake the Callinedes system. The majority of the Emperor's Children are afterwords sent to join the Warmaster's forces in the Istvaan system, with only Fulgrim and hand-picked detachment remaining. Fulgrim murders Lord Commander Vairosean. Fulgrim attempts to sway Ferrus Manus to Horus' cause, but fails. The brothers come to blows and Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children are forced to fight their way out of the system. They leave for Istvaan, but during warp-transit a partial failure of the flagship's [[Gellar Field]] slows their journey considerably.

|Galaxy-wide
|Very powerful warp storms cloud much of the galaxy, stranding many Crusade elements and retarding the travel of others. [[Astropathic communication]] is disrupted.

|Istvaan III
|On Isstvan, Captain Demeter is seriously injured. Captain Lucius defeats and kills Vardus Praal. Captain Tarvitz arrives and manages to spread word of the imminent bombardment to many of the Legion officers; most of the Sons of Horus, Emperor’s Children and Death Guard manage to get into sealed cover. Some World Eaters also manage it, but most are trapped in the open. Istvaan III is bombarded by life-eater virus bombs, which are followed by a firestorm. All unprotected life on the planet is wiped out in a matter of minutes.

|The Eisenstein survivors are placed into confinement on Luna.

|1 month since the bombing of Istvaan III (1 month, then?)
|Istvaan III
|Solomon Demeter, recovered from his injuries, fights for the loyalists. He refuses to accept command from Saul Tarvitz, placing himself under the command of the junior officer.

|"2 to 3 months" since the bombing of Istvaan III
|Istvaan III
|Lucius kills Chaplain [[Charmosian]] in single combat, but makes a deal with Lord Commander Eidolon to sell out Tarvitz and the other Loyalists in exchange for being allowed to return to the Emperor’s Children Legion. He kills Solomon Demeter, and attempts to kill Saul Tarvitz, although their duel is interrupted by the arrival of Loyalist reinforcements, saving Tarvitz and wounding the fleeing Lucius. Capatain Ancient Rylanor is ordered to guard an underground hangar. Captain Loken luckily defeats but does not kill Captain [[Kharn]] in combat. Tarik Torgaddon, although offered a chance to return to his Legion, refuses and is killed in single combat with [[Horus Aximand]]. Garviel Loken falls in single combat with [[Ezekyle Abaddon]]. The last remaining Loyalists, less than one hundred in number and led by Saul Tarvitz and Nero Vipus, are wiped out by an orbital bombardment. The battle of Istvaan III is over. All 4 Legions took unnecessary casualties; the World Eaters are reduced to just over half original strength.

|Istvaan III
|Fulgrim returns from failing finally arrives in-system, having failed to subvert Ferrus Manus to Horus’ cause. The Warmaster sends him and a detachment of his Legion to fortify Istvaan V.|-||c.205 |1 week later|Galaxy-wide|By this time civil war has broken out all over the Imperium. Scattered conflicts erupt all over the domain of the Emperor; even [[Mars]] is schismed. The Iron Hands, [[Raven Guard]], [[Salamanders]], Word Bearers, [[Night Lords]], [[Iron Warriors]] and the [[Alpha Legion]] are ordered to proceed to the Istvaan system and eliminate the traitors. Horus is headquartered upon [[Istvaan V]]. The massive warp-disturbances plaguing the Imperial forces begin to cease. Fulgrim murders [[Ostian Delafour]]. Serena D'Angelus commits suicide. A (accidentally-summoned) massive daemonic incursion takes place aboard the ''Pride of the Emperor'', resulting in an orgy of sex and violence that finally damns all aboard.|-||c.205 |8 days later|Istvaan v|Ferrus Manus and his [[Morlocks]], together with [[Corax]] and his Raven Guard and [[Vulkan]] and his Salamanders begin the drop-assault on Istvaan V. Nearly 40,000 Astartes make up this assault wave, against 20,000 of the World Eaters, Sons of Horus, Death Guard and Emperor's Children. Initial success is reversed when the second wave - Word Bearers, Night Lords, Iron Warriors and Alpha Legion - arrive and reveal themselves traitors, attacking the rear of the first wave. Nearly all of the loyalist Astartes are wiped out; Ferrus Manus is killed by Fulgrim, whilst the fate of Corax and Vulkan is not known. Fulgrim is possessed by the daemon in his sword, becoming a true thing of Chaos. Horus privately swears to destroy the daemon and restore his brother. His forces prepare to leave the Istvaan system and invade Imperial space. Horus receives a communication from Magnus the Red.

*Small matter: in ''Horus Rising'', the Emperor's Children are supposed to go the the Lesser Bifold Cluster after Laeran. In ''Fulgrim'', it's the Iron Hands who are on there way there when they're waylaid by the Diasporex at Carollis. The EC go onto the Perdus Anomaly.
*The length of time the EC are with the Iron Hands is unknown. Eidolon's boys are away for 8 months plus transit time. The time the EC and IH spend together must be long enough for Solomon Demeter to go from being in his sickbed to being physically able to take the bridge of the ship.
=== Chaplains ===
*A new introduction at the time of Braxton's visit to Fulgrim in 205. Their introduction would therefore seem to predate Horus' Chaplain Edict, which he claims to have issued later on that year. This may be explained by Horus just mentioning it later, or it may be that Chaplains were introduced voluntarily and Horus' edict makes them compulsory.
