Know No Fear follows the prepared betrayal on Calth from its hidden preliminary violence through orbital catastrophe, surface resistance, and the rising Ruinstorm. Its campaign phases and mark structure connect many participants without granting them a complete view of the battle as it unfolds.
Thiel’s adaptation, Ventanus’s local command, Tawren’s technical work, and Guilliman’s confrontation with Kor Phaeron give different scales to the counterattack. The ending preserves strategic loss alongside survival and points toward the Underworld War.
