==Society==
Before the later, Imperial colonization, Cadia was the home of a lost fragment of humanity that worshiped the four Ruinous Powers, [[Chaos Undivided]]gods. <sup>7</sup> This society was encountered by the [[Word Bearers]] legion 40 years before the Horus Heresy, and the prevalence of violet eyes amongst the populace was seen as a mark of mutation caused by the Eye of Terror, which also appears violet<sup>9</sup>. This civilization was eventually wiped out with Cyclonic missiles.<sup>8</sup>
Cadia was resettled sometime in the early [[M32|32nd millennium]] by humans, who quickly became the dominant species. The Cadian people are naturally tall, fair-skinned, with blonde hair and blue or purple eyes.{{Cite This}} The fact that this new line of Cadians also sport violet eyes lends credence to the theory that the Eye of Terror causes the mutation to the eyes.
