NOTE: This video (as implied by the title) is predominantly about the Fall of Cadia specifically, as opposed to the Thirteenth Black Crusade in general, or the numerous events that occurred in the wake of Cadia’s destruction (such as the Battle of the Phalanx, the Battle of “New Cadia”, or the return of Roboute Guilliman and the subsequent onset of the Terran Crusade).

As someone who likes the lore but doesn't have the money or time for all the books, I thank you very much.

THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID!

Cadia maybe not a real place, but the pain of its loss is real enough. [sobs quietly]

Imperial grand strategy: throw everyone in and let them do their thing
Chaos grand strategy: throw everyone in and let them do their thing
GW writing strategy: throw everyone in and let them do their thing

Naerina's cadence and manner gives this an academic quality.

Thank you for having me narrate this video, Remleiz! It was so much fun! ^^

Abaddon: I did it! I finally conquered Cadia!

Creed: are you sure?

Abaddon: CRREEEEDDD!

[crewie]

This was beautifully delivered, prepared and even had me captured as someone who likes to think they know the lore "fairly well".

What a wonderful video.

You can feel the emotions in the entire video but mostly at the end. The slight waver in the vioce as the words of the fall were said . Beautifully done.

Gotta say, this is a great video for people like me who have missed a lot of the lore! Thanks.

I absolutely love the story of the Fall of Cadia, kinda reminds me of Halo Reach in keeping up a hopeless fight till the end
