On Isstvan V, the Salamanders had been broken. Their warriors had been slaughtered, their Primarch lost and presumed dead. Their wargear, abandoned during the battle, had been claimed as spoils of war by the Traitors and turned against the Loyalist cause. It was a defeat so utterly complete that most forces would never have recovered, becoming just one more laurel for Horus to fix upon his standard as he marched upon Terra. Yet, the sons of Vulkan did not succumb to such a fate.
