===The Death of Chaos Undivided===

Chaos Undivided was not formally repudiated or dissolved, indeed there were even several Black Crusades mounted against the Imperium under the Black Legion following the Death of Macharios. What did die, however was anyone's faith in the Movement. Lorgar's vision of the secret harmony of Chaos was proven to be the Apophenia of a Deluded Fanatic. The different champions of Chaos instead saw themselves as rivals to a dwindling supply of resources. There was only the fight for survival, and the Great Game. 

Lorgar, following his blunder at Cadia, saw his position of favor to Chaos fall to Be'lakor once again. Lorgar was forced to organize his crusades sulking in the shadows. Be'lakor tossed aside the Anthroprocentric focus of Lorgar's chaos for a return to the old ways. The Black Crusades against the Imperium were discarded in favor of a return to encouraging corruption throughout the Galaxy. Thinking that this approach would stop the bleeding and allow Chaos to recover so much of its loss strength, Be'lakor actually accelerated Chaos' territorial decline. Too much had changed since M25 and rather than prodding one awakening Galactic power, he instead foolishly prodded all of them. Most devastatingly, Be'lakor's greater emphasis on corruption of the eldar only strengthened the growing Yndarri, and permanently sided the complacent Dark Eldar toward the Imperium of Man. Following this even more disastrous 2000 year governorship, where the Eldar began reclaiming croneworlds, Lorgar Once again re-asserted his role as Champion of Chaos to attempt to clean up Be'lakor's damage.
