History
|
This page contains spoilers for: | Bloodhowl (Short Story) |
During the Horus Heresy, it was attacked by the Night Lord forces of the Prince of City's Edge. He would have scoured it of life, like he had done to several other worlds, had the Space Wolves of Gunnar Thorolfsson not come to its aid. Gunnar had been waging an independent campaign against the Night Lords and vowed to protect Bloodfall from their predations. It was not until reinforcements, led by Jarl Jorin Bloodhowl arrived, though, that the Prince and his forces were killed.[2]
Millennia later, however, Bloodfall was destroyed by a splinter of Hive Fleet Leviathan, during the Third Tyrannic War.[1]
