Amid the ruins of Tizca the White Scars met Mortarion’s Death Guard and elements of the Scars inclining to treachery.

Significance
The White Scars’ point of entry into the war on the Emperor’s side; the beginning of “The Path of Heaven”.
Disputed in the canon
- Not to be confused with Magnus’s return to Prospero (“The Crimson King”, c. 011.M31) — that is a separate undated event, not represented in the atlas; 007.M31 here is Khan’s fight with Mortarion in Tizca (“Scars”).
