Lion El’Jonson against Konrad Curze (Tsagualsa)

Place: Tsagualsa · Segmentum Ultima

Fig. 1 · Place on the map

Curze lured the Lion to talks on Tsagualsa, hoping to break his brother by word and deed; the conversation collapsed, and the primarchs came together in a furious duel. Curze was strangling the Lion and would have killed him had Corswain not run a sword through the Night Lord’s spine — and Sevatar in turn beheaded Alajos. Warriors of both Legions who arrived dragged the maimed primarchs apart, and both survived the clash to continue the Thramas Crusade.

Outcome Both primarchs are dragged apart half-dead; the Lion is saved by Corswain.
