The Flight of Truth - Phase II Legendary Battle

“His dreams and hopes are in ruiny his trust proved falsey and his brightest son fallen to darkness. These are bitter tidings^ a nightmare made flesh, but they
must reach the Emperor.”
- Nathaniel Garro, Captain of the Death Guard

The loyalists knew that news ofHorus* rebellion
must reach the rest of the Imperium. They also
needed evidence strong enough to convince the
Emperor and Horus' brother-Primarchs that the
brightest son of the Imperium had turned against
them. A narrow window of opportunity and fate
gave the loyalists a chance to get the bearers of
both truth and proof onto a shuttle and so to a ship
still loyal to the Imperium. It was a slim hope.
Learning of the danger the traitors bent their will
to stop the flight of the truth from Isstvan.
