→Wars with the Necrons: More links
The Old Ones eventually came to the conclusion that they needed to create warrior and psychic races with the specific purpose of combating the Necrons. These races are thought to have included the [[Eldar]], the Rashan and the K'nib.
The introduction of these warlike and often psychic races into the galaxy had the side effect of warping the [[warp ]] - the war, pain and destruction of the galaxy during the conflict was reflected in the warp, and the innocuous entities which naturally existed in the warp were twisted into voracious and hostile predators. Ultimately this would lead to the destruction of the Old Ones.
The C'tan empire could not counter this new form of warfare. Eventually they became devoted to severing reality's relationship to the [[Immaterium]], in order to make psychic powers useless.
Eventually, with the eruption of the [[Enslaver]] Plague on the galaxy, the Old Ones were broken and scattered, never to come to any power again and eventually die out altogether.<sup>1</sup>
