The Calixian Massacres were a series of Chaos led massacres that occurred in the Calixis Sector, following the aftermath of the War of Brass.[1b]

Overview

The horror began when the Gates of Moment - a cursed moon that brings nothing but death and misery to all who fall under its dismal shadow[1a] - appeared in a dozen skies across the Sector. From Cindar to Hesiod's Wake it hung ominously in the sky for six days and nights. In its shadow raucous Pleasure Cults suddenly rose up, and packs of Warp Talons appeared across the Sector, sowing terror and goading the Cults into acts of dark debasement that shattered entire cultures. Millions perished, and when the Gates of Moment finally faded away, it left the people of the Calixis Sector nothing but fear, sorrow and a reminder of the Warp’s untamed fury.[1b]
