Initial projections of a recoverable situation were methodically reassessed, and the Iron Council concluded that the inconstant xenos of [[Ulthwé]] had crafted a self-fulfilling
prophecy to the detriment of Mankind. [[Kardan Stronos]] in particular came to believe that had the Imperial forces held their ground, four of the six systems could have been held for acceptable cost. This, he now revised to two. The warp corridor between Mordian and Cypra Mundi had proven resistant to the grasp of the [[Noctis Aeterna]] offering a ready supply of materiel from the forge world, but this alone would not be enough. The bounteous worlds of the neighboring [[Khravos System]] would have to have to be secured – a campaign whose outcomes fell well within acceptable parameters. Thus ignoring Eldar prophecies insisting doom, the Iron Council unleashed a second phase of the campaign, with a plan to scour the surviving worlds of the Mordian System and wresting the refineries and shipyards of Kharvos from Chaos. As of now, the battle continues.{{Fn|2}}
===The Shadow Wolf===
During the war, the [[Space Wolves]] [[Wolf Lord]] of the [[Ironwolves]], [[Vorek Gnarlfist]], was killed by the forces of the Thousand Sons. His successor, [[Torvald Wyrdbane]] of the [[Duskwolves]], has launched a bloody campaign of vengeance against the sons of Magnus. Dubbed the Shadow Wolf, Wyrdbane has provided hope to the Imperium's besieged citizens amidst the ever-swelling tide of misery. He has taken the heads of no fewer than four [[Sorcerer]]s, most notably [[Kayesh Vrall]] on [[Kalimar]].{{Fn|3}}
