Editing Thramas Crusade (section)

===Fractured Legion===
Curze's comatose state gave the members of the Cross of Bone faction the opportunity to seize control, with many headstrong commanders gleefully going their own way after being let off the leash and pursued their own goals. However, without the approval and support of their Primarch, they overextended themselves dangerously. In the closing few months of the Thramas Crusade fractured forces were cut off and caught in battles that they simply could not win, and many high ranking commanders were slain.

With the "disloyal" sons in disarray, Sevatar and his "loyalists" then took their own opportunity. Sevatar summoned what survivors he could and gathered them in the Qetesh system. Whereupon Sevatar enacted a minor war for control of the legion and purged most of the Captains who didn't agree with him, effectively ending the faction war there and then. He then declared that they had fought enough of Horus' wars for him and needed to break free, becoming the ''de facto'' leader of the Night Lords.

His intention was to split the remainder of the Legion into six Grand Companies and go their separate ways, effectively breaking the Legion into a raiding force where they could rape and pillage to their hearts' content. But even while Sevatar did this, the Dark Angels managed to track him down and launch yet another ambush. Sevatar launched a counterattack and led the '''Atramentar''' (his Terminator elite) aboard the Dark Angels fleet. The First Captain managed to help Curze to recover from his coma and the awakened Night Haunter met with the Lion and fought ''yet again''. What happened next, in Sev's words, was a pathetic display of a last stand. The Night Lords were now deep within enemy territory and completely surrounded. As the Dark Angels tightened the circle Curze took one look around, realised the game was up, abruptly performed the fastest heel turn you have ever seen and fled, abandoning his sons to their fate.
