The shock of the birth was so great it could not wholly be contained within the Warp, but spilled out into reality through the minds of the Eldar. Consequently, the Eye covers most of the region of the former Eldar Empire. Other zones of overlap were created, but the Eye is the most significant.{{Fn|1}}
Sometime at the dawn of the Imperium but before the [[Horus Heresy]], the Eye of Terror was discovered by Imperial explorers in what was presumably a fairly remote region of the Galaxy, and Imperial scholars named is it ''Cygnus X-1''. The Eye didn't come into prominence until it was later discovered by the [[Word Bearers]], who had arrived officially for conquest, but actually on a personal mission for renewed faith, and it was here that they discovered the [[Chaos|"Primordial Truth"]]. It would later be visited by the [[Emperor's Children]] and the [[Iron Warriors]], intent on an expedition within the Eye, in search of the Angel Exterminatus. Before embarking upon this journey, [[Perturabo]] had formally named it the Eye of Terror.{{Fn|7}}{{Fn|8b}}
