Pylons can be reduced to ruin through overloading them with massive amounts of [[Warp]] energy, such as an influx of [[Daemon]]s. During his Black Crusades, Abaddon hunted and destroyed pylon networks on planets near the Eye of Terror, thereby weakening the barrier between the Warp and realspace. During the 13th Black Crusade, he destroyed Cadia itself, and its pylon network with it. This caused the formation of the [[Great Rift]], which split the galaxy in two.
==TriviaHistory=={{trivia}}The pylons were first introduced in Some time before 338.M41, the novel ''Malleus'' by [[Dan Abnettradical]]. Inquistor [[EisenhornQuixos]] hunted a radical developed an interest in the warp-altering properties of the Cadian [[InquisitorPylons]] named , in the hope of permanently closing the [[Eye of Terror]]. Controlled through Quixos' enslaved daemonhost [[Cherubael]], who believed a cult calling itself the "Sons of Bael" studied the pylons. These studies bore fruit, and Quixos duplicated the pylons on other worlds using corrupted merchant cartels and personal supplies of Blackstone. Unfortunately, these plans never came to fruition as he was executed by an Inquisitorial taskforce led by [[CadiaEisenhorn]] held back . It is unknown if Quixos' plan would have succeeded regardless - he was deeply addled by warp corruption and it was well within reason that his experiment could have instead torn the [[Eye of Terrorasunder, which would have resulted in the [[Noctis Aeterna]] 's devasation and could be made to close it altogether if amplifiedthe formation of the [[Great Rift]] almost six centuries early.{{citethis}}
