→Invasion: Added small section on damage to the Library
===Invasion===
In 998.[[M41]], shortly before [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]'s [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]], [[Ahriman]] led his warband of [[Thousand Sons]] into the Webway in an effort to finally claim the Black Library. Engaging in furious battles with the [[Harlequin]]s and the [[Craftworld]]s of [[Ulthwé]] and [[Lugganath]], Ahriman advanced to within sight of the Library itself. However, several major arteries of the Webway were choked with the dead before the Chaos Marines were driven from the secret paths leading to the Library. The breach caused by the rampaging [[Sorcerer]]s was sealed. As a result, a section of the Webway was lost forever.{{Fn|4}}
===Damage===
Once considered inviolate, even the Black Library is not immune to the turmoil caused by the [[Great Rift|Cicatrix Maledictum]]. The opening of the Great Rift caused a section of the Library to fall completely, breached by the warp. Now in the clutches of [[Slaanesh|She who Thirsts]], that portion of the library is tainted forever, beyond the ability of even the [[White Seer|White Seers]] to cleanse.{{Fn|7b}}
