Meanwhile, Luther and a large portion of the Dark Angels returned to Caliban after a falling out with The Lion during the [[Sarosh]] campaign. Bitter, jealous, and feeling abandoned, Luther had to deal with an increasingly violent rebellion by the anti-Imperial nobility. Unbeknownst to the Dark Angels, there were also [[Chaos]]-affiliated [[Cultist]]s and [[Sorcerer]]s who had infiltrated [[Administratum]] staff disrupting the status quo on Caliban.{{Fn|3}}
===Heresy===
By the middle stages of the Horus Heresy the Terran cultists had been eradicated on Caliban, but Luther and his loyalists (most notably [[Lord Cypher]], [[Astellan]], and [[Zahariel]]) had gained a firm hold on the planet. Luther intended to proclaim Caliban independent from both the [[Warmaster]] and Imperium, but was plagued by the schemes and politicking. After the death of [[Belath]] Luther openly declared independence from Caliban and oversaw a purge of loyalist elements.{{Fn|5}}
