Feldon's hammer, the Fist of Raemnor, would be taken into the Doom Eagles' Chapter reliquary, where it would remain for a relatively short time until approximately 005.M42, when the weapon's ancient power field inductors were used in the reforging of Veteran Sergeant Talorus's . The sword, once bestowed upon Talorus by Feldon himself in congratulations for the then-young Marine's ascension to the rank of Sergeant, had been broken during intense fighting in the final stages of the . Once reconstructed, the blade was christened the Talon of Raemnor and bestowed upon Talorus once more, now freshly promoted to the rank of after enduring the harrowing .
