==History==
Before Imperial colonization, Cadia was the home of a lost fragment of humanity that worshipped the four [[Gods of Chaos]].{{Fn|3a}} This society was encountered by the [[Word Bearers]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] forty 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.{{Fn|3b}} It was on Cadia that the Word Bearers' [[Primarch]], [[Lorgar]], first met [[Ingethel the Chosen]] and became inducted into the service of the Foul Powers.{{Fn|3a}} This civilization was eventually wiped out by [[Cyclonic torpedo]]esafter Lorgar's pilgrimage into the Eye of Terror.{{Fn|3c}}
Cadia was resettled sometime in the early [[M32|32nd millennium]] as a direct result of the [[1st Black Crusade]].{{Fn|4a}} The early defenses of Cadia, however, proved to be woefully ill-prepared, its major cities indefensible as they were built in the traditional [[High Terra]] style of broad, ordered avenues. Following the [[2nd Black Crusade]], changes were made to improve the planet's fortifications, rebuilding the cities into their [[Kasr|present form]].{{Fn|2}}
