[[File:Eye Of Terror Map.jpg|thumb|300px|right|The '''Eye of Terror''' and its surroundings at the time of the [[13th Black Crusade]]{{Fn|11}}]]
==Origin==
The Eye of Terror is not a natural phenomenon, as it was created by the [[Old Ones]] during the [[War in Heaven (Necron)|War in Heaven]], as they fought the [[Necrons]]. The Necrons would then seal the Eye of Terror close, but it was created later reopened by the [[psychic ]] shock wave that accompanied the birth of the fourth [[Chaos God]], [[Slaanesh]], during the [[Fall of the Eldar]].{{Cite thisFn|13}}
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}}
