What remained of the Imperial Fists was a hardened, veteran force willing and able to comply with the [[Codex Astartes]], just as [[Rogal Dorn|Dorn]] had intended. The Legion was then split into at least six Chapters, including the [[Crimson Fists]], [[Black Templars]], [[Soul Drinkers]], [[Fists Exemplar]], and [[Excoriators]].
The Iron Warriors escaped and in exchange for forfeiting the captured Loyalist [[gene-seed]] to the [[Gods of Chaos]], Perturabo was raised to [[Daemon Prince]]hood.{{Fn|5}}
Since then, the [[Imperial Fists]] and [[Inquisition]] have not permitted any to know the details of the foe they faced in The Iron Cage.{{Fn|4}}
