Some time before 338.M41, the [[radical]] [[Inquisitor]] [[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 [[Chaos Cult|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 devastation and the formation of the [[Great Rift]] almost six centuries early.{{Cite thisCME}}
Recently the [[Necrons]] under the [[Silent King]] [[Szarekh]] have created the largest pylon network in the [[Nephilim Sector]]. Known as the [[Pariah Nexus]], it is part of an ambitious plan by the [[Xenos]] to eventually shut out the Warp entirely.{{Fn|11}}
