| The Warmasters Triumvirate was originally envisioned as a way to continue the Great Crusade, while ensuring that the power of the Astartes legions would not be abused. It proved impossible to prevent conflict however, as Warmaster [[Jon-Frederic Aristide|Aristide]] eventually came into conflict with Warmaster [[Je'She of the Watch|Je'She]]. In defiance of Malcador's decrees, Aristide put down several planetary governors in the Ultima Segmentum and openly declared himself in favor of Astartes governance. In order to prevent further hostilities, Malcador called for a summit on the world of New Hope. Warmaster Je'She, who was in favor of mortal rule, brought Linares and Raj with him.
| |
|
| |
| After several days of negotiation between the two Warmasters, with Warmaster [[Marduk Engur|Engur]] overlooking the Summit, Malcador's ship finally arrived in system. To everyone's horror most of the ship's crew was dead, including the Regent of Terra himself. Conflicting reports from the survivors quickly lead to fingers being pointed between the pro-Mortal and pro-Astartes groups. Before long accustations lead to open conflict. The Brotherwar had begun.
| |
|
| |
| The Titan Marchers, along with the Silver Blades and Sentinels, fought against the pro-Astartes [[Astral Wardens]], [[Iron Guard]] and [[Emperor's Dragoons]] for several days. Before long the [[Chaos|"neutral"]] forces of the [[Gunslingers]], [[Soaring Host]] and [[Leviathan Host]] also joined the fray. Countless marines died in the first days of the Brotherwar. The fighting on New Hope continued until the arrival of [[Valorn Adras]] and his [[Pale Hounds]] broke the stalemate. The loyalist forces quickly fled from the system, but were cut off from one another.
| |
|
| |
| The Titan Marchers found themselves in a crisis of resolve. This third blow against their morale caused some of the Titan Marchers to call for a return to Manaan, where they could wait out the conflict. Others called for an immediate return to Terra, to return to their posts and to guard the wall. Raj ultimately settled on a third option: to bring the Titan Lord's fury to all enemies of the Imperium, both the traitors and the deserters.
| |
|
| |
| During this time it also became apparent that several more chapters of Marchers had fallen to the Ruinous Powers, specifically those that had been attached to the fleets of the traitor legions. Those who had been attached to the separatist legions thankfully returned to the Imperial fold.
| |
|
| |
| After several years of constant fighting, they ultimately decided to return to Terra. On Terra, the Astartes of the XVIIth quickly took back their posts on the walls of the Imperial Palace. When the [[Siege of Terra]] finally came, they would be among the first to enter the fray. When the Siege reached it's climax the full force of present Titan Marchers defended the Eternity Gate, lead by Raj Vokar himself. The Marchers of Manaan stood in the shadow of the Apocalyptican for days, until the traitorous Gunslinger Primarch Deshain Kane burst through their ranks and managed to infiltrate the Apocalyptican. He executed Raj in his command throne and brought down the Super Battle Titan from the inside, it's explosion killing thousands of marines, loyalists and traitors both.
| |
|
| |
| On the burnt and broken remnants of the battlefield, Deshain Kane ascended into daemonhood. Linares the Blademaster arrived on the scene in order to fight the newly ascended Daemon Primarch and avenge his beloved brother. The Blademaster received unexpected aid from the equally traitorous Lambach Kropor, who had never wanted to Raj to die. After the burning form of Deshain Kane was banished to the warp, Lambach Kropor took Raj's corpse back with him. Linares knew he would be unable to stop him.

History
Pre-Primarch History & Reunion
Brotherwar
Post-Brotherwar
After Marduk Engur had been slain by the combined effort Linares, Pacha the Earthquake and Warmaster Je'She, the Brotherwar had ended. This allowed the Titan Marchers to focus on rebuilding. Taarush Amin, Chapter Master of the legion's second chapter, was unanimously elected to the position of Legion Master. Taarush was immediately faces with a monumental task. No legion had been as spread out as the Titan Marchers. While their strategies had yielded valiant results during the Great Crusade and had rewarded them with friendships among many of the legions, it had resulted in the Astartes of the XVIIth legion forming less powerful bonds with their fellow battle-brothers.
