Maugan Ra and a handful of other survivors were welcomed back as heroes as the Daemonic armies remaining within the Craftworld were slowly ground down to nothing. However Maugan Ra would not be there to see the final victory, as Altansar's Seer Council had constructed a [[Wraithbone]] vessel for the Phoenix Lord to escape the [[Eye of Terror]]. The leaders of the Craftworld knew they could not allow a disciple of [[Asurmen]] himself to be lost with them. Though the Phoenix Lord protested, the [[Autarch]] and former Dark Reaper [[Elithinel Ullathani]] persuaded him by stating he could one day return to rescue them. After 500 years since its first Daemonic outbreak, Maugan Ra left Altansar and escaped the Eye of Terror.{{Fn|5}}
The Craftworld, crippled beyond repair, settled into orbit around the [[Crone World]] of [[Merichen]],{{Fn|9}} where it's launched a desperate offensive against the [[Daemon]]s of the world to recover the dormant arsenal of the once-powerful Crone World. In time the Craftworld became trapped, unable to escape the orbit of the world below.{{fn|9}} It is unclear how the Altansari survived this ordeal, but it is believed by many [[Farseer]]s that it may have been through entering a terrible pact.{{fn|9}}
