The battle drew the attention of the Created, but the three sides managed to escape before any serious Created forces could arrive. Recognizing that the weapon was far too dangerous for either of their species to ever use, Thel 'Vadam and [[Olympia Vale]] gave it to [[Atriox]] in the hopes that the Banished would destroy the Created and themselves with it instead.{{Ref/Novel|Out}}

====Eviction from the Domain====
{{Main|Battle for the Domain}}
In late [[2559]], the [[Forerunner]] and [[human]] essences trapped in the outer boundaries of the [[Domain]], under the command of the [[Ur-Didact]], rose up against the Created. Using a ritual that had been devised long before by [[Abaddon]], the [[Haruspis]] was able to pull all of the iterations of the [[Warden Eternal]] that was in the Domain and its outer boundaries into a single body, rendering him vulnerable. The Didact engaged the Warden Eternal in battle, ultimately destroying the construct. While some iterations may have been trapped in the physical world and thus survived, they would be unable to reconnect with either his body or the Domain which would drive them "quite mad," permanently neutralizing the Warden Eternal as a threat.{{Ref/Reuse|Epi25}}
Subsequently, the Didact led all of the essences - both Forerunner and human - into the Domain which strengthened it and allowed the Domain to evict the Created. Although some rogue AIs and splinters managed to escape being kicked out, the Didact and his allies planned to hunt them down and destroy them. The Haruspis was able to seal the [[Gateway]] on [[Genesis]] and set out to close all links between the Domain and the physical world, thus depriving the Created access and keeping anyone else from abusing the Domain's power in the way that they had done.{{Ref/Reuse|Epi26}}{{Ref/Reuse|Epi27}}
