The Eye of Night was an ancient artifact connected to the Hand of Darkness located in the Gothic Sector world of Ornsworld.

Overview

The Eye was located on the Ratling planet of Ornsworld where it was worshipped by them as a god in pre-Imperial times. It was located in the eye of a statue. Ornsworld was subject to an assault by Chaos Space Marines attempting to secure the eye and they proceeded to blockade and siege its inhabitants until they retrieved it.

Abbadon attempted to secure it as it could be used to control the [[Blackstone Fortresses ]] resulting in the twelfth Black Crusade. He was told this by the prophetess Moriana.

The initial attack was pushed back by an Imperial Guard recruiting force but a month later the Chaos blockade was erected and a full invasion began. The ratlings could not stand against such a force and the death toll was in the millions as they fled into the hills. Lieutenant Comton-Hawkins of the recruitment force recorded some of the atrocities caused by the Chaos forces such as wiping out the small settlement of Esmerelda's Dale and bringing the side of the Great Belly mountain down, sweeping away seven towns and 82,000 ratlings.

Inquisitor Horst attempted to recover the artefact but it was spirited away by a thief into the hands of Chaos.
