In due time, the Blood Ravens came into conflict with the Biel-Tan Aeldari, again commanded by Farseer Macha, who had been working to keep the Maledictum hidden from the Imperials and the forces of Chaos alike. Determined to root out all traces of Chaos from the world, Captain Angelos refused and continued the search for Heretics, and later the Maledictum as he learned more about the artefact left behind by the Aeldari.
In the aftermath of one battle, Angelos was confronted by Inquisitor Mordecai Toth, who urged him to take the Blood Ravens and leave Tartarus before an incoming Warp Storm arrived. Led by the Blood Ravens Force Commander, Captain Gabriel Angelos of the 3rd Company, who was accompanied by his long-time friend Librarian Isador Akios, the Blood Ravens helped hold back the green tide of Orks. It was during the failing defence of the singular Tartaran spaceport at Magna Bonum by the forces of the Imperial Guard that the 3rd and 4th Companies of the Blood Ravens arrived on-planet and started to force the Orks back. With the defence of the planet at the forefront of the Imperial forces' attentions, the Alpha Legion's search for the Maledictum went largely unnoticed until the Blood Ravens uncovered evidence that linked the ongoing growth of Chaos activity on Tartarus with the recent invasion of the Orks. Simultaneously, warbands from the Alpha Legion of Heretic Astartes, led by the Chaos Sorcerer Sindri Myr and the Chaos Lord Bale, tried to take advantage of the reawakening of the Maledictum, and encouraged a horde of Orks to launch a WAAAGH! against the planet and serve as a distraction while they uncovered the resting place of the Maledictum. The Greater Daemon trapped in the Maledictum had begun to influence the Tartaran population once again, inspiring fear and heresy among the people of the world, including the members of the Tartaran Astra Militarum regiments under the command of Colonel Brom and the Tartarus Planetary Defence Forces. Over the centuries, the new Imperial colony on Tartarus defended itself from multiple threats, and successfully fended off many invasions by the Orks and pirates of its region of space until 999.M41. Tartarus would be recolonised by the Imperium 300 Terran years later and was treated as a new planet that had never before been inhabited by humans.
All the records of this event were later expunged by the Inquisition. They succeeded in finding it, though the weapon had been shattered in the battle with the Greater Daemon, and a Blood Ravens Captain attached to the Deathwatch Kill-team managed to recover a shard of the Wailing Doom.Īfter the team escaped, the shard would be used in the construction of the Daemonhammer Godsplitter.

To be certain that the stone could not fall into the wrong hands, the location of its burial could only be learned through the solution of a series of riddles and clues.Īt around the same time as this first incident, a Kill-team of Deathwatch Space Marines accompanying an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor named Jhordine had been tasked with finding the Avatar's weapon, a potent Aeldari sword called the Wailing Doom. Macha trapped the daemon in a stone called the Maledictum, then buried it beneath the surface of Tartarus. The Aeldari proved victorious, but the cost of their victory was the loss of their Avatar. In the ensuing fight, the Aeldari Guardians had the task of holding back the Chaos Cultist forces and Khornate Bloodletter daemons, as Macha held a Warp Storm at bay and Biel-Tan's Avatar of Khaine fought the Greater Daemon of Khorne. Macha held that it was her duty to defeat and trap the daemon, and would later suppress his will every 3,000 standard years.
In response to this, Farseer Macha of the Biel-Tan Craftworld had arrived with an Aeldari army to defeat this threat. However, a Greater Daemon of Khorne that cyclically emerged from the Warp every three thousand standard years had appeared on the Tartaran colony and seduced the whole population into the worship of Chaos. At the very end of their campaign on Tartarus, the Blood Ravens discovered that there had been a very early human colony settled on Tartarus roughly around the time of the Great Crusade ten thousand Terran years before.
