Eidolon launched another assault on the Precentor's Palace, this time backed up by freshly landed Titans of the Legio Mortis and [[Legio Audax]].{{Fn|1n}} Formerly loyalist Captain [[Lucius (Emperor's Children)|Lucius]] had grown to despise Saul Tarvitz and wanted to rejoin his Legion. Using a slain [[Chaplain]]'s helmet communicator, he contacted Lord Commander Eidolon and arranged for the betrayal of his comrades. Lucius himself had slain all the defenders at that part of the encampment promising Eidolon not only glory by defeating the loyalists but giving him the head of Saul Tarvitz. Despite his boast, Lucius was defeated when Tarvitz had reinforcements, forcing Lucius to flee back to the Emperor's Children Legion.{{Fn|2f}} Meanwhile, the traitor Titans combined their fire on part of the structures wall, finally blowing a hole in the structure and allowing them to advance inside for the first time. The first into the breach however was not the traitorous Emperor's Children however, but Angron and his World Eaters who massacred any remaining loyalists encountered inside.{{Fn|1n}}
To the northwest at the Siren's Hold, Abaddon's Justaerin came into contact with Loken and Torgaddon's Luna Wolves after landing via [[Caestus Assault Ram]]s.{{Fn|1n}} Backed by gunships and heavy armor, Abaddon's [[Terminator]] elite were finally able to break their way into the Siren's Hold. Hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned, the Luna Wolves fought to the last but the Siren Hold fell within the hour.{{Fn|1n}} Despite a valiant final battle against Abaddon and [[Horus Aximand]], Torgaddon was slain and Loken was buried under rubble from a Titan's blast.{{Fn|2b}} The traitors unleashed [[Phosphex]] into the lower catacombs, burning those who remained below alive as Davinite Priests used their dark arts to identify any living who remained. By now, the war had devolved into a hunt for the small pockets of remaining loyalists who were all eliminated to a man.{{Fn|1n}} \
There were ultimately only handful of loyalist survivors, such as Loken,{{Fn|5}} Morturgand Decima,{{Fn|6}} and Rylanor, who unknown to all sides remained hidden on the planet for millennia after.{{Fn|7}}
