After the Heresy, Guilliman ordered the Pharos destroyed - removing thousands of tonnes of xenos machinery from the mountain and filling its tunnels with millions of tonnes of ferrocrete. The primarch appointed [[Oberdeii]] as Warden of the Pharos and [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the Aegida Company, sworn to protect Sotha from whatever secrets had been buried in the Pharos. This duty passed to the [[Scythes of the Emperor]] after the [[Third Founding]].{{fn|4}}
Millennia later, the formation of the [[Great Rift]] reactivated the Pharos which was noted by the now-reborn Scythes of the Emperor. [[Archmagos]] [[Belisarius Cawl]] led an expedition to study and perhaps use the Pharos to close the Rift and defeat [[Chaos]].{{Fn|5b}} Ultimately during Cawl's experiments the Pharos on Sotha was destroyed when it began to collapse in on itself and the C'tan [[ZharulashZarhulash]] managed to escape, creating a black hole. However Cawl was able to gather much data, including the location of other Pharos and Blackstone deposits across the Galaxy.{{Fn|5c}}
