→What we "know"
*Dorn's death in the bowels of an enemy ship is supported by Konrad Curze's prophecy: ''dragged down by a hundred murderers in a dark tunnel, their knives and swords wet with the warrior's blood.'' This would be reminiscent of one slain in the confines of a ship by enemies during a boarding action. Curze's visions were generally proven true in nearly all cases, including the deaths of [[Ferrus Manus]], [[Sanguinius]]{{fn|49}}, and even his own death at the hands of [[M'Shen]], but crucially, this answered only the how, and was entirely lacking the when.{{Fn|21}}
*He died on a "Black Crusade" which was "bludgeoning its way through the [[Cadian Gate]]", however there was no actual attack on Cadia itself.{{fn|2a}}
**''Presuming this refers to [[Black_Crusade#The_Black_Crusades_of_Abaddon_the_Despoiler|Abaddon's Black Crusades]]'' it could not have been the 10th through 12th, as none of those crusades used the gate to enter real space. The [[13th Black Crusade]] is also excluded for obvious reasons.*In the [[Index Astartes II]], Dorn's death is said to have taken place "soon after the disappearance of his brother", [[Corvus Corax]] into the [[Eye of Terror]], which strongly further guarantees it could not have been the 12th (and almost assuredly not the 13th), as Corax had been long gone by that point; more generally, it implies an earlier crusade, as Corax's absence from galactic events before his disappearance is less plausible the longer it is.
