==Trivia=={{Trivia}}*''Rogal'' is possibly a play on the word ''Regal'', while ''Dorn'' means ''hand'' and/or ''fist'' in numerous Celtic languages, including Breton, Cornish, and Irish (see also Scottish Gaelic ''dòrn'', Welsh ''dwrn'', and Manx ''doarn''). ==={{Endn|Conflicting Sources}}===
Rogal Dorn can be presumed to have survived to at least 100 years after [[Second Founding]] in 021.M31{{Fn|43}}{{Fn|42}}. While conversing with [[Chaplain]] [[Segas]] on [[Sotha]], [[Oberdeii]] refers to the Second Founding as having occurred at least a hundred years ago (and that [[Roboute Guilliman]] was already wounded by [[Fulgrim]] by that point). Segas in turn refers to Dorn as alive and in command in the present tense, having already petitioned the High Lords to approve the upcoming [[Third Founding]] forty years prior their conversation. Thus (presuming Segas was not misinformed due to delayed information) this puts one of the last dates he is presumed to be alive as at least 121.M31, approximately 600 years prior to the [[1st Black Crusade]] in 781.M31{{Fn|41}}{{Fn|42}}.
At no point in [[M32]] during the [[War of the Beast]] is Rogal Dorn spoken of by the Imperial Fists as though he were alive and in command of the Imperial Fists. However, during that war, Vulkan commended [[Koorland]] that his actions honored Rogal Dorn and that he "will tell him so." It is therefore possible that Rogal Dorn did indeed vanish from the Imperial public light shortly after Corax and the [[Great Scouring]], but that like Vulkan, he remained alive and in hiding and only surfacing to lead the attack on the unspecified Black Crusade.{{Fn|8}}
