Before the destruction of Cadia and the formation of the Cicatrix Maledictum, the perimeter of the Eye was thoroughly wracked by Warp storms that effectively formed a barrier that both trapped the Eye's inhabitants and kept out intruders.{{Fn|10}} The only safe and reliable opening in this barrier was the Cadian Gate, and that region was heavily defended and patrolled by the Imperium military.

==Origin==
The Eye of Terror is not a natural phenomenon. The Eye was created by the psychic shock wave that accompanied the birth of the fourth [[Chaos God]], [[Slaanesh]], during the [[Fall of the Eldar]].{{Cite this}}
