→Aftermath
==Aftermath==
The immediate consequence of the crusade hit [[Astartes Praeses]] the hardest, as many of the twenty chapters were among the judged. The whole region around [[the Eye of Terror]] was wrecked, leading to a perpetual state of siege in the region today known as the [[Cadian Gate]].{{Fn|5}}
The crusade's mysterious and disastrous fate was kept hidden from the greater [[Imperium]], and the [[Administratum]] denied any link to it and the increase of [[Chaos Space Marine]] raids shortly afterwards. All that is known is that 800 years after the Crusade began, the remnants of some of the judged Chapters returned from the Warp with their purity and sanity intact. Infuriated and embittered by their ordeal, they cast their sights on the legacy of Saint Basillius, the long-deceased figure now worshiped as a god.{{Fn|2}}
