Editing Loxodontii (section)

===Brotherwar===
The diplomatic conference on New Hope had ended in utter disaster as [[Malcador the Sigillite]] had been murdered and civil war had been declared. During these events, survivors of the 1st and 3rd chapter of the Loxodontii had escaped their brothers' slaughter and made to Holy Terra in order to reach [[Je'She of the Watch]] and to report the vile treason. A group of volunteers consisting of the [[Golden Mountains]] and [[Doomsingers]] would go on their way to annihilate the Loxodontii and to hopefully rescue Ashur of Banipal. What they found upon arriving on Babylon V was an entire legion's fleet infighting, murdering each other in gruesome boarding actions and insane bloodletting. The Loxodontii themselves had engaged in mindless self-indulgence after their primarch's capture, and the Stargazers with help of [[Lambach Kropor|Lambach Kropor's]] very own Warp Claws had prepared a ritual that would doom the legion's soul forever. As more and more sacrifices were made and the Loxodontii's frenzy reached a peak high, the powers of the Warp flooded into realspace and pervaded Ashur's body, grasping at his very essence. The corruption was sudden and powerful - Ashur had been elevated to Daemonhood against his will. His mind shifted between his embittered consciousness, delirious awareness and bestial frenzy.

Just as he ascended, the punitive fleets of the Doomsingers and Golden Mountains delivered several killing blows to the Loxodontii's fleet, and the once strong family splintered into various smaller warbands and fled into all directions of the galaxy. It was only through the efforts of Barabash installing Enlil of the 6th chapter as new leader of the Loxodontii when they would again rally under one banner - That of [[Marduk Engur]], Warmaster of Chaos.

Until that point, each warband murdered and trampled their way through Imperial space, terrorising planets and consuming everything they could find. One particular planet, called Escara, was where a warband of extremely violent Loxodontii were engaged by a contingent of [[Corsairs Gallant]]. While the Corsairs maintained the tactical advantage, slowly bleeding their erstwhile cousins dry, the warband's anger kept them going forward despite all odds. After months of gruesome combat, an Exterminatus fleet of the [[Titan Marchers]] arrived, called in by a distress signal from the planet itself. However, instead of saving the population, the furious astartes of the XVIIth Legion unleashed their board weapons upon Escara, obliterating the entire planet and all chaos traitors and despised separatists.

During the Siege of Terra, the Loxodontii mostly ravaged hab blocks and battled their enemies on open fields. However, thanks to their massed Mastodon-transports, they managed to breach the outermost defense of the Imperial Palace, unleashing their Daemonprimarch [[Ashur of Banipal]] upon [[The Sentinels]] and [[Je'She of the Watch]], who held them at bay until all the other loyalist forces could have succesfully retreated to the next ring of defense.
