After the duel between the Lion and the Wolf, it became a ritual for the Dark Angels and Space Wolves to field champions every time the Legions met{{Fn|4}} - usually to first blood.{{Fn|5a}}
The Compliance of Dulan {{Fn|1d}} was commemorated in a fresco in the [[Imperial Palace]] which survived the [[Battle of Terra]]. The Lion and Russ met by it when they arrived in the aftermath, and the Lion challenged Russ to finish their duel, this time to the death. When Russ made no move to defend himself, the Lion plunged the ''Lion Sword'' into his chest,{{Fn|1d}} but turned the blade at the last moment to ensure the blow was not fatal. This set aside the bad blood between the primarchs, and Russ wore black in mourning when he heard the Lion had [[Destruction of Caliban|died]].{{Fn|1e}}
