→Post-Heresy
The Emperor's Children claimed that Fulgrim was gifted by Slaanesh with [[Callax|a hidden world of unlimited pleasure for him to rule]].{{Fn|1}} Several centuries after the Heresy, he was said to be asleep on this world and not active in guiding the Emperor's Children.{{Fn|15f}} Warbands of Emperor's Children, other Slaanesh-worshiping Chaos Space Marines and [[Cultists]], and the Imperial [[Inquisition]] have sought out this world, but none have returned.{{Fn|1}} [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] was also able to somehow find Fulgrim and was able to gain the favor of Slaanesh by trading an unblemished [[Pythos]]ian [[Psyker]] with the Primarch.{{Fn|7}}
Hundreds of years after the [[Battle of Isstvan III]], Fulgrim was lured back to [[Isstvan III]] by a sonic beacon. There he was confronted by the sole surviving loyalist Emperor's ChildChildren, the [[Dreadnought]] [[Rylanor]]. As Fulgrim tore the Dreadnought apart, an unexploded [[Virus Bomb]] was detonated and engulfed the planet. Though Fulgrim's form survived, his pride was wounded.{{Fn|17}}
Despite having put a bounty out against him for abandoning his post during the Siege of Terra, Fulgrim was delighted to see [[Fabius Bile]] and his followers when they met with him at the Garden of Fixfold Pleasure on [[Callax]]. Preparing for [[Battle of Belial IV|battle with the Dark Eldar]], Fabius pleaded with his gene-father to protect his [[New Men|children]] in the coming struggle. Fulgrim agreed, but only if Fabius pledged his soul and his creations to [[Slaanesh]]. Though willing to sacrifice himself, Fabius refused to offer the New Men to the forces of Chaos. A compromise was reached: Fabius would submit to Slaanesh, but his creations would be free to decide their own fate.{{Fn|23b}}
