→Ancient History: Fixed typo
Just before the birth of the [[Emperor of Mankind]], the three Gods of Chaos; Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle had already begun to take form in the Warp, although it would take until the end of Terra's Middle Ages for them to fully awaken.{{Fn|1}} Slaanesh had not awoken until around [[M29]], marking the end of the [[Eldar Empire]] and the end of the [[Age of Strife]], as well as the beginning of the Great Crusade and the rise of the Imperium.{{Fn|12a}}
The rise of Chaos and the first three Chaos Gods, as described, seems to correspond to the development to of [[human]]ity, implying that Mankind, of all the sentient species, were primarily responsible for the disharmonising of the Warp and the birth of the first three Chaos Gods. Although, without question, all sentient species played a role in the birth of the Chaos Gods, it seems that mankind has an especially close relationship with Chaos, or that mankind's nature is particularly aggressive and unstable.{{Fn|1}}
