→Overview
A Sons of Horus fleet arrived from the [[Warp]] and within minutes annihilated Terentius' command fleet. Horus himself teleported aboard Terentius' flagship, accompanied by 50 [[Justaerin]] and slaughtered all they found. Terentius died unrepentant, laughing as he was impaled by the [[Talon of Horus]]. With their leader dead, Terentius' rebellion crumbled. However Horus, his pride slighted, acted uncharacteristically harsh and ordered the Night Lords, Iron Hands, and [[Ordo Reductor]] to decimate every one of the remaining rebel worlds. The fate of Terentius' rebel empire would serve as an example to all who sought to defy the Emperor.{{Fn|1}}
In the aftermath of Terentius' treachery, [[Hastor Hastur Sejanus]] initiated a ritual before each battle where the [[Mournival]] would take oaths of censure for themselves in case of treachery or failure.{{Fn|2}}
