===The Trail of Sorrows===
The Trail of Sorrows is the most commonly accepted name for the period of bitter fighting following the initial schism upon Malphas. How many battles occurred and where precisely they took place within this period is difficult to determine, as the Undying Scions were making a fighting retreat across the void, determined to beat their foes to Terra. What is known is that the journey was no simple matter - the great Warp storms stirred by Anshul and his legion made attempts to enter Segmentum Solar by all expedient routes all but impossible, and the Scions were harried all the way by the XIX Legion. Few ports of call available to the Scions were in a state to be exploited fully, as the Warmaster had spread a wave of disunity and petty rebellion through the outer sectors of the Imperium, and Aodhán had called in many contracts and debts forged during his campaigning in the farthest reaches of known space, assailing the Scions' scouting efforts through xenos mercenaries and other vengeful forces, eager to draw the blood of those that had scattered their own civilizations to the wind during the Great Crusade. The Trail of Sorrows was incredibly costly to the Undying Scions, and it is seen as a testament to their unmatched resolve that they never once were deterred from the path to Terra, no matter the losses they took. It is officially considered to come to an end on Magathea.
