Editing The Cabal (section)

==Eventual Fates==
According to ''The Beast Arises'', the Cabal were wiped out during the Heresy. Because shortly after sending Vulkan on his way, Eldrad killed them all with help from Barthusa Narek, a member of the [[Word Bearers]] who despised the direction his legion had taken and wanted [[Lorgar]] dead. Eldrad had foreseen a third possibility for the future of the galaxy - an alliance between the Imperium and the Eldar that could stop Chaos without what he considered to be the pointless extinction of humanity - and had come to believe that the Cabal had itself become a pawn of Chaos. 

It also reveals that the Cabal had considered the Eldar's destruction an acceptable loss, meaning that the master manipulators had been manipulated despite the aforementioned Autarch insisting that it was Eldrad who was the race traitor. Though due to the Eldar beliefs it could be the Autarch thought sacrificing the Eldar to destroy Chaos was their species’ goal (which is actually true, to be fair) but Eldrad believed defeating Chaos without that was preferred (also true).

Even in death, they still maintained that the Acuity was more accurate than Eldrad could ever hope to be. He finds this sentiment amusing, especially since it didn't let them foresee their own destruction. Not to mention the dumb fucks made the colossal mistake of thinking they could out-predict a group of practically omniscient entities, including the one known for both its interest in precognition AND being [[Skub|''THE'' greatest schemer in the galaxy]]. A being who is, by the way, LITERALLY MADE OF EVERY THOUGHT THAT HAS EXISTED, DOES EXIST, AND WILL EXIST.  Basically, it can be said that their attempts at fighting Chaos ultimately made the Ruinous Powers stronger instead (and knowing Tzeentch, that was all part of one of its plans).

TLDR; the Cabal tried to play dice with the gods. It went about as well as you'd expect.
