Bloodborn invasion

The Bloodborn invasion was a campaign fought on 854.999.M41, in which Warsmith Honsou and the daemon prince M’kar invaded Ultramar. It occurred concurrently with the 13th Black Crusade, a conflict in which Uriel Ventris took no part. Ventris escaped an ambush at Axum on the world of Tarentus, then killed the creature known as the Newborn at the tomb of Remus Ventanus on Calth. On Talassar, Ventris identified M’kar by his mortal name, Maloq Kartho, and gave Marneus Calgar the Shard of Erebus.
