	The war broke the Legion as many Iron Warriors refused to shoot innocent civilians, but Perturabo was in such an unforgiving mood that he ordered them to be dealt with the same way. Afterward, Perturabo realised what he had done and silently broke down, having to be discreetly removed from the planet by [[Thunderhawk]] in case anyone saw him like that. He rescinded his orders and allowed anyone who was not already killed or enslaved to be left alone so that they might salvage the pieces. Perturabo understood that [[Heresy\|he had crossed a line that he could never turn back from]], claiming he had become just like his brother [[Konrad Curze]].

	During the end of the [[Horus Heresy]], the Iron Warriors decided to set up camp back on Olympia for two years whilst the [[Ultramarines\|Smurfs]] and [[Imperial Fists]] attacked them. The Iron Warriors then had to evacuate as all the missile reserves and other cool exploding things exploded, turning Olympia into a barren wasteland. It was then declared [[Imperial Worlds#Dead World\|Perdita]](Latin for lost). The Iron Warriors evacuated to [[Medrengard]], a daemon world in the Eye of Terror, and established it as their new homeworld.

	Before the coming of Perturabo and the [[Emperor]], Olympia was ~~ruled~~ by several warlords who ruled over the city states around the desolate planet. ~~The planet~~ had been intensively strip mined during the ~~dark age~~ of ~~technology~~, so now practically no fissile or precious conductive materials were left under the crust, that meant that even '''if''' the population had the necessary know-how to build advanced technology, they simply couldn't thanks to the lack of resources.

Before the coming of Perturabo and the [[Emperor]], Olympia was dominated by several warlords who ruled over the city-states around the desolate planet. Olympia had been intensively strip mined during the Dark Age of Technology, so now practically no fissile or precious conductive materials were left under the crust, that meant that even '''if''' the population had the necessary know-how to build advanced technology, they simply couldn't thanks to the lack of resources. So it had devolved to a [[Steampunk]] society of airships, swords and moustache-twirling courtly intrigue.

	After Perturabo smashed into the mountains after being flung from the Emperor's laboratory, he apparently wandered around for a bit, slaying monsters and generally being a cool guy, but for some unknown reason Perturabo himself had no memory of any of it. His first recollection was climbing a cliff face to be met by some soldiers who wanted to take him to their king, where he was adopted by the powerful warlord Dammekos. Pert was a pretty emo kid, not showing any love for anyone despite his father the Tyrant of Lochos spending a lot of time with him, although that quality "father-son" time mostly revolved around Dammekos parading Perturabo in front of the Tyrant-Lords of other cities, showing off how clever the boy was, how skilled he was, and using him to beat up the champions of the other Tyrants to get their ~~allegiances~~.

	That went relatively well until his old-father was killed and the population ~~was rising~~ up in rebellion against the Imperium. At hearing his old home had turned ~~it's~~ back on their allegiance to the Emperor, Perturabo flew into an apocalyptic [[rage]], he quit his current campaign against the [[Hrud]] and sent his entire fleet back to Olympia, pushing so hard that one of his cruisers detonated the moment it translated in-system.

When all the nobles arrived at the agreed time and place, Perturabo sat silently for a bit and let them try to negotiate with him, allowing them to get more and more wound up at his lack of engagement. When they started pissing him off he shouted them all down and ordered the city they were overlooking destroyed from orbit. <u>This was no negotiation</u> but a lesson. They had betrayed the Emperor, but he was willing to give them ~~the~~ choice: Just like when he took control of his Legion, he would enact '''decimation''' on the population, allowing the civilians to brutally murder 10% of themselves so the rest might be saved. Otherwise fucking EVERYONE would get massacred ~~down~~ by fucking [[Adeptus Astartes]] and all the cool siege weapons the Iron Warriors loved so much. Suffice to say the planetary leaders thought this was utter madness and rejected his offer, so Perturabo had them all gunned down on the spot and went to war with the planet. The eventual result was predictable: [[Exterminatus\|Extermination]] of the entirety of Olympia's standing armies, enslavement of the populace and taking of every suitable child for Astartes implantation.
