Editing The Battle of Lion's Gate (section)

==Aftermath==

Before the dust even settled, whole warbands of the [[Inquisition]] began scouring the surroundings of the Imperial Palace, and dealt with any lingering Chaos taint with extreme prejudice. The [[Sisters of Silence]] were given back their old strongholds, while Guilliman's rule as the Lord Commander and Regent of the Imperium was formalized.

Wary that the whole attack was one massive distraction, a whole Sodality of Custodes led by [[Valerian]] and about fifty Sisters of Silence went rogue, and made for the [[Fortress World]] of '''Vorlese'''. There they found the forces of the [[Abaddon|armless failure]] trying to close the stable warp points located there via [[Noctilith|corrupted Cadian Pylon shards]]. This plan was stymied, but at great cost, and by the time reinforcements found them, only Valerian, Tannau, and another Custode were the only ones left alive.

With his power base mostly secure, Guilliman announced the start of the [[Indomitus Crusade]], centered on several legions worth of [[Primaris Space Marines]]. These fleets would spread from the Sol system to the segmentum beyond, and brought relief and reinforcement to embattled Imperial forces wherever they went.

Finally there was a little matter of the [[High Lords of Terra]] erupting in open rebellion against Guilliman, but [[Just As Planned|Bobby-G planned for ''that'' too]], and it was handled neatly without anyone the wiser for it, barring Trajann Valoris.

And what of [[Khorne]] and his daemon hosts? Well, he was SO pissed (much more than usual), that he obliterated the 8 Bloodthirsters where they stood. No more rebirth for those, thats for sure.
