This event began a feud which still continues strong in the 41st millennium, usually taking the form of a ritualistic duel between two elected champions, although it has been known to manifest itself in a very violent manner.

teh muuttumaton wikipedia kirjoitti: Games Workshop has in recent years restricted the information available for the Dark Angels, to further emphasize the mystery surrounding the chapter. The exact fate of Lion El'Jonson had been purposefully left out of all texts since the early 1990's, only re-emerging in the 2001 "Index Astartes" article published in White Dwarf Magazine. Information regarding the Chaos Space Marines character Cypher, rumoured to be foremost of the Fallen, is kept sketchy, to further fuel players' imaginations.
The novel Angels of Darkness (Thorpe, 2003), written by Games Workshop staff member Gav Thorpe, expands upon the events that split the Chapter. The novel suggests that El'Jonson was a very dark and brooding figure who, while in the chaotic forests of Caliban, had been touched and possibly corrupted by Chaos. This is evident via his personality; he would stay in the shadows, because being exposed would be to invite predators. The darkness was both dangerous and welcoming. This paranoia and suspicion was passed down to his Legion, and, eventually, the Successor Chapters of the Dark Angels. He was also prepared to sacrifice thousands of humans to achieve a tactical victory for his Legion. This was not out of disrespect of human life, but he was prepared to do anything to achieve his goals. He planned to lure a host of Orks from their hiding holes by using a populated city as bait. The plan worked and the Dark Angels destroyed the Orks; however, some Dark Angels were left a little bit shaken by the Primarch's actions. During the Horus Heresy, El'Jonson supposedly refused to choose a side, waiting for a victor to emerge from the galactic civil war before pledging his support to the victor. When the Lion returned to Caliban, the garrison remaining there opened fire upon his fleet, fearing that he had turned to Chaos. Seeing this as treason and heresy, the Lion ordered a full-scale bombardment. The destruction of Caliban soon followed.
The validity and canonicity of this novel is debated by fans and players. The reason for this is that the book is told from the point of view of one of the "Fallen", and may have been deliberate misinformation or subject to bias. Gav Thorpe (the author) has even stated in an interview on Dysartes that the book is not an objective look at the events on Caliban, but a character study of the "Fallen".
