Editing The 13th Black Crusade (section)

===Erebus: Party Pooper===

The [[Word Bearers]] however, and [[Dark Apostle]] [[Erebus]] in particular prepared to enact a terrible ritual on the worlds they had conquered. As Imperial reinforcements began streaming into the Cadian sector, the ritual hit its peak, and suffice to say things went to Hell very quickly. As a million innocent lives were sacrificed, massive Warp Storms hit the areas around the Eye of Terror. So intense was the result that it stopped inter-sector transit in its tracks and effectively isolated each sector from each other. What's worse, the Warp Storms made it easier for daemons to manifest, so the embattled worlds now had to deal with hordes of Daemons [[rape|wanting to party]] as well.

Typhus took advantage of the isolation and slowed enemy supply lines in the Agripinaa sector, unleashing the full strength of the [[Death Guard]] [[Plague Marine]]s under his command, and reduced the already ravaged worlds further into ruin. The Imperials held on by threads, but its surviving population risked starvation as the Agri-Worlds of Yayor, Dentor, and Ulthor had already been lost.

Word spread that the [[Planet Killer]] was slowly making its way to Cadia, the plan clearly being for Abaddon to practice his favorite anger management technique of destroying planets to hell. The Imperial Navy was still pissed about Deimos Binary and swore that it would keep the space lanes around the Cadian Gate clear, and in many actions since saw Admiral Quarren kick ass and take names as [[Ciaphas Cain|hero of the Imperium]].

Although Cadian High command would be forced to relocate to Kasr Gallan, Cadia still held against all odds, so dogged was its defenders in giving up its lives to defend it. Millions had already died, but it was close to a year and the Despoiler had still not conquered it. All they needed to do at this point was wait for reinforcements. Abaddon may have planned his assault well, but Cadia had held on for longer than anticipated. It would only be a matter of time before the Imperium sent tons of reinforcements that would turn the tide, incurring losses the Black Crusade could not afford.
