→Uprising on Garm
===Uprising on Garm===
Ragnar's actions won him great renown, and he was inducted into the [[Great Company]] of [[Wolf Lord]] [[Berek Thunderfist]]. Soon a great portion of the [[Chapter]] was deployed to [[Garm]], where a [[Chaos]]-fueled uprising had stolen the [[Spear of Russ]], a sacred relic of the Wolves. During the climactic battle, Ragnar was again confronted by [[Madox]], who was conducting a ritual to raise fallen [[Thousand Sons]] again and to summon his master, [[Magnus the Red]], into the [[Materium]]. In a desperate action, Ragnar threw the Spear into the opening warp rift, preventing Magnus's return{{Cite This}}.

===Exile to Terra===
While many, including [[Logan Grimnar]], believed it to be the only way to save the chapter from annihilation, Ragnar was despised by many for the seeming loss of the relic to the enemy. As a symbolic punishment, Ragnar was assigned to the [[Wolfblade]] on [[Terra]], a bodyguard unit for Lady [[Gabriela Belisarius]], an important scion of an allied [[Navis Nobilite]] house. There, he foiled an assassination plot by a rival House, and defeated the [[Imperial Assassin]] [[Xenothan]] in the process. As a reward, the Navigators gifted him with the ancient [[Frost Blade]] that he continued to use for the rest of his life. While accompanying Gabriela on an inspection tour of their holdings on [[Hyades]], Ragnar was caught in the middle of a plot by [[The Fallen]], allied with a resurrected [[Madox]], to foment war between the [[Dark Angels]] and the [[Space Wolves]]. Ragnar formed a temporary alliance with a rival Dark Angel, [[Jeremiah Gieyus]], that helped defeat the Fallen's commander and encouraged a truce between the two chapters{{Cite This}}.
