→Horus Heresy
Many years passed, and many more battles. Thousands of worlds were reconquered into the Imperium, but eventually the golden age came to an end. The [[Horus Heresy]] and Leman Russ were intertwined to begin with, but they were absent from the final battles. The Emperor sent Leman Russ and his Space Wolves to deal with [[Magnus the Red]] and the [[Thousand Sons]] legion, that the Emperor believed to be the true heretic. Prospero was assaulted and bombarded, thousands died within days. In the final battle between Russ and Magnus, it is said that Russ blinded Magnus and then broke the Cyclops' back, and just as Russ was about to deliver the final blow, Magnus said a word of power and sunk into the ground.
Years passed after the Horus Heresy. Russ at a great feast with his Chapter in attendence stood and said "In the end I will return. For the final battle. For the Wolf Time." and left the Fang disappearing leaving only his helm. The tale of his disappearance is retold every thousand years by the [[Dreadnought]] [[Bjorn the Fell-Handed]], the oldest dreadnought still in service. He is said to have served with Russ ten thousand years before. Every once in a while, the Space Wolves embark on what is called the [[Great Hunt]], where they search the galaxy for their missing leader. Though they have searched far and wide, they still haven't found any sign of there their Primarch Leman Russ.
