Record by era

This archive tracks four layers. A record present in 4 of them (HH, AoI, M41, IND) is silent in the rest, and says so.

The Horus HeresyM30–M31
imperium
Homeworld of Magnus and the XV Legion; burned

Tizca, the city of glass and marble, held the greatest library the Imperium ever assembled. The Space Wolves and the Custodes burned it in retribution for Magnus's sorcery, and the survivors were pulled bodily into the warp.

Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
none
Dead world

The ruin of Tizca under an empty sky; nothing lives on Prospero for the next ten thousand years.

The 41st Millenniumpre-Rift
none
Dead world

Still a grave, still visited by those who want what the Thousand Sons left behind.

Era Indomituspost-Rift
chaosImperium Sanctus
Reclaimed by the Thousand Sons

With Magnus returned to realspace the Thousand Sons came back to Prospero in M42 and began repopulating it as part of an empire inside Imperial space.
