At the height of the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium the Chaos Space Marine Traitor Legions were driven from Terra and naturally sought shelter within the Realm of Chaos. ![]() The Eye of Terror is now home to the darkest evils of the galaxy. ![]() The Eye is an area of Warp/ realspace interface - a vast, open wound upon the very fabric of reality constantly weeping filth and corruption. An area almost twenty thousand light years across was engulfed in the very stuff of Chaos, known today as the Eye of Terror.
