===Notable Campaigns=== The Stone Prophets were famously reclusive and isolated amongst the Second Founding Chapters, and precious little is known of their deeds leading up to their final destruction. It is recorded that the Ork Warboss Firedrinka Red-Toof challenged the Chapter, only to be led across half the Ultima Segmentum before being annhilated in the Gnashfang asteroid belt around Narafam VII. As the Warboss' WAAGHH blundered from world to world in blind rage, dozens of minor xenos threats, two Traitor warbands, and a Forge World controlled by the Dark Mechanicus were ground under Firedrinka's iron-shod feet, and the Chapter would goad him further and further on. Finally, Chapter Master Arcturon himself challenged Firedrinka, duelling for over a day inside one of the Gnashfang asteroids. Here the Chapter Master fell, dying even as he sank his blade into Firedrinka's beating heart. The Chapter huddled round the two dying warriors, carefully recording every second of the final agonies. The bloodsplatter told of a great adversary on the horizon, a terrible shattering darkness beyond anything the Stone Prophets had ever known, revealed in these dying breaths. Regrettably, the prophecy was not slow in arriving, as thousands of Vetrovnak vessels broke warp around the Gnashfang cluster, preparing to rearm and refuel as they journeyed. In accordance with their nature, the remaining Orks charged their new enemy immediately, and for a brief time the Stone Prophets remained quietly at peace. With great deliberation they hid their Chapter relics within the asteroid, preserving their Chapter Master's body alongside his fallen foe. All that remained of the original equipment from their parent Legion the Prophets left behind, along with tome after tome of their philosophical discussions. Sealing the asteroid and sending a coded signal to the Eyes of the Emperor with its location, the Chapter rode to fight the Vetrovnak, dissappearing without trace. Guided to their doom by misguided beliefs, or by the Emperor's will to a grim but necessary end, none can say. The Eyes of the Emperor still wonder what final insights might have been revealed to the Stone Prophets in their final, most potent moment of destruction. If the Chapter Master's teachings were correct, such a death must have granted an augury of immense potency, yet despite all their searching no record has ever emerged, if indeed any there was. Madman or genius, Arcturon's final judgement will be known only to the cosmos he sought to comprehend.
