correction of events, addition of Ch 15 in Fn8
Upon the death of Horus and the arrival of [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s relief fleet, Archamus had isolated in one of the last remaining loyalist pockets in the Palace been fighting in an exhausted and frenzied state. Shell-shocked and having already gone without sleep for weeks, he immediately collapsed where he stood when the battle was over. Upon his rediscovery by Ultramarines he was initially mute, and then had become confused and introduced himself as Kestros before regaining his composure and using his newer name and title of Supreme Commander of all Terran forces. The newly arrived Ultramarines did not initially believe the battered warrior when he made the pronouncement.{{Fn|8a}} He reunited with Dorn shortly after, who ordered him to act as his emissary in organizing an immediate vengeful pursuit of Traitors fleeing the Sol System instead of taking the more cautious consolidation approach urged by Guilliman. He then met with [[Kyril Sindermann]], [[Aphone Ire]], [[Corswain]], and [[Bjorn]] in an attempt to organize such an effort.{{Fn|8b}}{{Fn|8c}}
Archamus then managed to requisition a fast Warp-Runner troops and system runners from the Phalanx and made for the wider Sol System to investigate the remaining traitor presence and pursue [[Perturabo]], who was still believed to be aboard the retreating ''[[Iron Blood]]''. {{Fn|8d}} At [[Jupiter]] he encountered [[Sigismund]], who was engaged in his own solitary crusade of vengeance against the Traitors.{{Fn|8d8e}} At [[Neptune]]'s moon of [[Laomedeia]] they discovered signs of a remaining bastion of Iron Warriors which were apparently acting on traitors, but by the time troops arrived under the direct command of Dorn, [[Lion'el Johnson]] and [[Leman Russ]] the moon had been razed and the earth flattened to the orders texture of Perturabo[[plasteel]]. {{Fn|8e8f}}
