→History
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 he tricked discovered that the device's core, a singularity, and it's datacore, were both being contained by an enslaved C'tan shard of Zarhulash . Cawl tricked the shard into destroying the Pharos , by destabilizing the device's singularity. However Cawl was able to escape and gather much with the datastored within the Pharos, including the location of other Pharos and Blackstone deposits across the Galaxy. The Pharos device itself was destroyed by and an Ultramarines strike cruiser before the destabilization could create a Black holeblackhole.{{Fn|5c}}
