I took a look at the Luna Wolves history again after reading up on Horus, son of Osiris. I understand the Luna Wolves was founded with abducted children from the planet Cthonia, but after looking briefly at Horus' early history, I realized there was no information about where he was found, under what circumstances, or when. All I know is Horus was found some time between the founding of the Legions and the Great Crusade. Does anyone have information?

Just had a look through some of my books and didn't find anything at all! Index Astartes does say that Horus was present for the first thirty years of the Great Crusade so presumably as you say, he was found before the Great Crusade started and it also says he was found close to Terra, and Cthonia is also close to Terra but it doesn't say that Horus was found there just that it was a useful recruitment world. We also know that Horus was not an adult when the Emperor discovered him so he might not have been in any kind of prominent position on whatever world he ended up on but it's difficult to say.

I haven't read the first HH novel so maybe there is something in there? I honesty don't recall it ever being mentioned.

The wiki says he was raised on a planet near terra (hence why he was found first) called cthonia, a hive world, where he was raised by "Tech-Barbarian Kill-Gangs". It doesn't have anything apart from that so like you said, unusually vague.

D'know if that helps at all or how reliable it is.

Personally I don't know much about the Horus Heresy story unfortunately.

according to Betrayer, Angron was the only primarch who didn't conquer his home planet.
