==History==
Some time before 338.M41, the [[radical]] Inquistor [[Quixos]] developed an interest in the warp-altering properties of the Cadian [[Pylons]], in the hope of permanently closing the [[Eye of Terror]]. Controlled through Quixos' enslaved daemonhost [[Cherubael]], a cult calling itself the "Sons of Bael" studied the pylons. {{Fn|4a}} These studies bore fruit, and Quixos duplicated the pylons on other worlds using corrupted merchant cartels and personal supplies of Blackstone.{{fn|4b}}
Unfortunately, these plans never came to fruition as he was executed by an Inquisitorial taskforce led by [[Eisenhorn]]. {{fn|4c}}It is unknown if Quixos' plan would have succeeded regardless - he was deeply addled by warp corruption and it was well within reason that his experiment could have instead torn the Eye of Terror asunder, which would have resulted in the [[Noctis Aeterna]]'s devasation devastation and the formation of the [[Great Rift]] almost six centuries early.
