The Cadian Gate

The Cadian Gate was an area of calm space leading in and out of the Eye of Terror. It was located to the galactic south-east of the Eye, and is the only predictably stable way out. It is therefore a site of frequent raids by the forces of Chaos. It is not the only stable exit from the Eye; the Arx gap is another way to get out, although it is somewhat less stable. The Cadian Gate existed because of the blackstone pylons on the surface of Cadia, which had the effect of strengthening the barrier between realspace and the Warp.[Needs Citation]

During the 13th led by Abaddon the Despoiler, Cadia was destroyed after Abaddon crashed a Blackstone Fortress into it. The destruction of Cadia and its pylons caused the Cadian Gate to collapse and the formation of the Cicatrix Maledictum.[Needs Citation]
