The root of Farsight's defiance was the battle on [[Arthas Moloch]]{{Fn|4}}. The bloodshed during the purge of the worlds Orks opened a warp portal starting a chaos incursion. With the aid of recovered alien artefacts the warp rift was sealed but not before the expeditions Ethereals where killed. During that battle Farsight had a vision of the [[Eye of Terror]] and in the aftermath of his victory came to realise the threat of Chaos and the fact the universe was not the orderly rational place described in Tau philosophy. He also came to the realisation that the Ethereals as a caste knew something of this but had kept it from the Tau.{{Fn|4a}}The more he thought on the Etherals the more terrible heresies poured through his mind. At first he merely thought there leadership was flawed, that the other castes would be better off seeking harmony with each other without there oversight. But the more he though on the instances where obedience to the Etherals had been taken to illogical and foolish extremes. Worse, many of the actions taken under there guidance, had seemed at the time both wise and necessary seemed now deplorable and wrong. {{Fn|4a}} The inevitable conclusion, that the Etherals control extended beyond simple logic and loyalty to something darker, drove him to sickening panic. The truth he held could dissolved the Empire and drive the Tau back to the Mont'au a fate far worse than the Ethereals rule. Unable to tell anyone this truth, but unwilling to pretend or forget Farsight chose Exile over obedience. {{Fn|4a}}
