Editing Blackstone Fortress (section)

==The Eldar Legend==
Vaul was said to be equally skilled at creating both things of beauty and tools of war. He was able to forge the souls of the departed into his creations. During the [[War in Heaven]] against the Necrons and C'tan, he created the Talismans of Vaul, which were controlled by the spirits of Eldar seers killed during the war. The C'tan were basically all-powerful in the material realm, but they were extremely vulnerable to the [[Warp]], so the Blackstone Fortresses were given a massive [[Warp Cannon]] as their primary weapon. At the heart of each Talisman sat one of the Eyes of the Witch, which were gifted to Vaul by Morai-heg, allowing the departed spirits to channel vast amounts of energy straight from the Immaterium.

It seems Vaul had a particular rival in the [[Void Dragon]], a powerful [[C'Tan]] who possessed control over material machinery. The war between the armies of Vaul and the Void Dragon raged in the heavens, but in the end, the Void Dragon's dreams of conquest were halted in their tracks. Seeing the possibility of defeat growing, the Void Dragon would lead its minions directly on the battlefield. None could stand before a fully-manifested god. So, to ensure its powers were at its zenith, it began draining the energies of a binary star. Taking the form of a cloud of dark light, it surrounded the stellar bodies, leeching energy from them until it was sated. Vaul knew the stars as well as he did his forge. So, with these weapons, Vaul went to confront the Dragon. Although the outcome is unrecorded, the Dragon still lives (although sealed away), so we can guess Vaul suffered [[FAIL|epic failure]]. Maybe, though, it was actually an epic -- you don't just barge in on an overpowered god and gimp him to the point of being a pokemon. It is also possible that the combined firepower of these fortresses made the Void Dragon weak enough that it had to retreat to ancient Earth and start eating virgins. Even though the Void Dragon was not destroyed, Vaul's efforts seem to have been instrumental in the weakening of the Dragon to the point that it was able to be imprisoned beneath Mars. If the Void Dragon was shattered like the other C'Tan, then it is possible that the Blackstone Fortresses may have been, at least partially, responsible for doing so.

===It's conspiracy time!===
It might even be possible that during the War in Heaven there may have been "alliances" formed between the Necrons and the ancient [[Eldar]] in order to battle the warp-spawned terrors that had been unintentionally released upon the galaxy during this time (such as the [[Enslavers]]). Vaul and the Blackstone Fortresses may have played a role in the [[Silent King]]'s plan to shatter the C'tan into shards. It is possible that the Necron lords and the ancient Eldar may have worked together to bring an end to the War in Heaven by aiding each other in freeing themselves from their respective masters.
