It was once invaded by a Chaos cult which removed the eyes of its victims as they were seen as windows into the soul.^[4]

Inquisitor Eisenhorn had his Distaff organization headquartered on Messina. However, circa 396.M41, they were essentially wiped out in an attack by Vessorine Janissaries^[2a] mercenary bands^[2c], hired by the Heretic Pontius Glaw.^[2b]
