The next time the Night Haunter returned to Nostramo would be the last. Word had reached the legion that [[Imperial governor]] Basileus's regime allowed crime to run rampant once again. The Night Haunter's entire fleet arrived in orbit and aimed their weapons at their home world. Countless lance barrages and orbital torpedoes pummeled the surface. The bombardment reached the planet's core, possibly through a weakness left in the crust by Curze's landing or the extensive adamantium mining, and the planet burst apart{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}. There were widespread mutinties among the Nostraman-born Human crew of the Night Lords fleet during the bombardment, which were brutally put down by [[Sevatar]] and his [[Atramentar]]. Even a few Night Lords themselves rebelled, but were purged with all the rest.{{Fn|6b}}
==Nostroman Language==
The language known as Nostroman is an offshoot of [[High Gothic]]. It is a flowery language that makes the many gangers and nobles feel they are cultured. Nostroman doesn't translate well into [[Low Gothic]].{{Fn|8}}
