Mezoan Campaign

Loyalist victory Mezoa holds out: the “Disciples of the Flames” and the loyalist magi repel the assault.

The traitors — the Alpha Legion under Autilon Skorr and the Iron Warriors of the 114th Battalion — launched a decisive assault on the Mechanicum-loyal forge world of Mezoa, the last loyal world of the Gothic Sector. The magi were saved by the Salamander splinter “Disciples of the Flames” under Cassian Dracos; the vainglorious Skorr, hastening toward the glory of Terra, rushed the attack — and was defeated.
