*The [[Thyssak'lha|Walking Blight]] was lured through the [[Inevitable Gateway]] and broken within the void beyond.{{Fn|4}}
*The greatest and terrible of their kind, the [[Mag'ladroth|Void Dragon]], was defeated by the [[Blackstone Fortress]]es.{{Fn|4}}
*The final C'tan to fall was [[Llandu'gor]], who was completely destroyed at the [[Battle of the Sokar Gate]], said to be the last battle of the revolt. However as the Star God died he cursed the Necron race with the [[Flayer Virus]] which continues to plague them to this day.{{Fn|2}}
*[[Eldar Mythology]] dictates that than upon falling to [[Cegorach]]'s trickery [[Tsara'noga|the Outsider]] had in its madness become too terrible of a foe slay. Some claim that the Outsider had actually rent itself asunder.{{Fn|4}} Other accounts claim that no prison had ever held it, that it is the one C'tan to never fall, and that it would one day return.{{Fn|7}}
The C'tan, almost impossible to destroy entirely due to their very nature, were instead shattered into [[C'tan Shard|shards]]{{Fn|1a}}. Some , though some C'tan such as [[Llandu'gor]] were destroyed utterly, though not before leaving [[Flayer Virus|his curse]] upon the Necrons.{{Fn|2}} Soon enough, these C'tan shards were enslaved by their former vassals and held within multi-dimensional prisons known as [[Tesseract Labyrinth]]s.{{Fn|1b}} Though Szarekh had succeeded, millions of Necrons were lost during the struggle.{{Fn|3a}}
In the aftermath of the revolt Szarekh knew that the Necrons would need to [[Great Sleep|put themselves into stasis]] in order to recover and survive against new threats such as the [[Eldar]]. The Silent King’s final command to his people was that they must sleep for sixty million years but awake ready to rebuild all that they had lost and to restore the [[Necron Dynasty|dynasties]] to their former glory. Thus was the Silent King’s order given, and as the last tomb world sealed its vaults, he destroyed the command protocols by which he had controlled his people before entering into a self-imposed exile in the extragalactic void.{{Fn|3a}}
