Another Blackstone Fortress fell to Abaddon at Brinaga when it appeared that his minions had some way of activating the long-dormant weapon and power systems of the mighty fortress.
With the power of two Blackstone Fortresses at his disposal, Abaddon attacked the defenders of Blackstone I at Fularis II, utilising the unknown power of the Blackstones to combine their energies in an unholy blast of warp-spawned power to annihilate the Imperial forces and capture the Fortress.
Throughout the Gothic Sector, the remaining Blackstone Fortresses destroyed themselves in a similar fashion, though whether the two still under Abaddon's control also broke apart is not known as there have been reported sightings of the Despoiler, both with and without them in the years since the Gothic War.

 C'tan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These new generations of warrior-races, including the Eldar, had stronger connections to the Warp, and because of this, as they grew in numbers, they would stir the currents of the Warp into forming creatures called daemons, which were inimical to the order the Old Ones sought.
The Eldar, being one of the oldest races still in existence, record much of their role in this war; they believe that their smith-god, Vaul, created the Blackstone Fortresses as weapons to injure or destroy a C'tan, and brought them to battle the most powerful of the C'tan, the Void Dragon.
This entity has journeyed the galaxy since its reawakening, and has been weaving plots and subtle machinations ever since, including the destruction of most of the Eldar weapons known as the Talismen of Vaul (The Blackstone Fortresses), in the Gothic War which it orchestrated, which are designed to destroy the C'tan.

The Chaos fleet, including one of the Blackstone Fortresses – ancient engines of destruction built aeons past by unknown xenos – gathered above Cadia but they were delayed by lightning fast attacks on the Blackstone by squadrons of Eldar cruisers.
Only those squadrons that stayed close to the Blackstone Fortress remained a threat but the Chaos fleet was now concerned more with survival.
One by one the screening Chaos vessels were peeled away from the Blackstone until eventually it was forced to cease its attack and concentrate upon its own defence.
