Now their all accounted for, but not then. Still, I think abby would have recognized a primarch, or part of a primarch. I could have been the Emperor/Imperious for all I know.

Wasn’t Lorgar known to have ‘golden’ skin?

Deceiver shows Adaddon to the sword. Abaddon becomes super powerful. Abaddon has the influence to invade the Gothic Sector (encouraged by the Deceiver). Four of the six Blackstone Fortresses are destroyed. Deciever scores a win.

There are C'tan shards which aren't under Necron control. We've seen plenty of them.

As of the static timeline, yes. Remember however, that the warp exists outside of time. It could have been one of his shards reaching forwards through the warp.

Why does the Deceiver want Blackstone fortresses destroyed?

**locarno24**

They're weapon systems designed to kill C'tan.

My memory wants to say somewhere in the War of Heaven? Check some of the Eldar lore, maybe. Take it with a grain of salt.

I thought their name as the Talismans of Vaul was something which was canon, but the only reference on Lexicanum seems to be the latest Codex: Harlequins. Even that reference doesn't call them out specifically as designed to kill C'Tan.
