The Imperial Creed

Emperor.jpg

Once, long ago, Humanity had achieved its greatest heights of glory, power, and achievement but at the cost of the soul. This time was known as the Dark Age of Technology which gave way to the Age of Strife. As the Age of Strife pressed on the Emperor moved to save Humanity from itself and from the foul xenos hordes that hemmed in on Mankind from all sides. He united Holy Terra, created the Primarchs and Space Marines as means of defeating the enemies of Man and creating His Imperium by launching the Great Crusade. In two hundred years the Human race was united under His benevolent rule destroying the false gods as His armies advanced.

Horus Heresy

All this was nearly brought down by the betrayal by His once most beloved son and primarch the Warmaster Horus, his Regent and strong right hand who was entrusted to finish His Great Crusade while the Emperor worked on Terra to bring down the foul gods of Chaos. Horus fell to Chaos, leading half of the Emperor's Legions into rebellion against the Emperor and nearly cast all Humanity into howling darkness and damnation. In the last moments the Emperor defeated His son in single combat, defeating the Heresy and saving Mankind with one stroke, sacrificing His body to save us all.

Enthronement

Upon His Ascension unto the Golden Throne the Emperor truly became the God He was destined to be. On the Golden Throne He guides and watches over Humanity, protecting His people from the depredations of the Warp and the foul Chaos gods. He guides the Astronomicon, which allows ships to find their way in interstellar travel, and shows the Way through His Holy Tarot. He is our Saviour and Protector.

Tenets

Venerate the Immortal Emperor: He gave His life to protect us from the Great Enemy and protects us to this day.

Seek His Guidance and Forgiveness: All Heretics and uninformed are encouraged to seek out the Word of the Emperor through His servants who can offer His wisdom and guidance to any who seek it.

Repent for Sins Committed:Any who refuse to work with the servants of the Emperor may receive forgiveness for their sins as well as failing to uphold His works.

Strike Down His Foes:The Emperor frowns upon those who have turned their backs on Man and towards Chaos or Xenos races. The Emperor demands that those who will not repent for their Heresy to be struck down so they may receive His Righteous Judement.

Saints and Martyrs

In the Imperium there are people who through extraordinary devotion, piety, and service rise above and beyond the common believer. These form the calendar of saints and martyrs of the Imperium who are revered and often used for intercession with the Emperor.

Primarchs

Foremost among those honored in this fashion are the Primarchs, the leaders and fathers of the legions who remained loyal to the Emperor during the bloody Horus Heresy.

Lion El'Jonson: Primarch of the Dark Angels Legion, known for his secrecy and pride

Jaghatai Khan: Primarch of the White Scars Legion, known for his cunning and initiative

Leman Russ: Primarch of the Space Wolves Legion, known for his feral ferocity and good humor

Rogal Dorn: Primarch of the Imperial Fists Legion, known for his steadfast determination and honesty

Sanguinius: Primarch of the Blood Angels Legion, known for his self-sacrifice and his love of beauty

Ferrus Manus: Primarch of the Iron Hands Legion, known for his rage and his death at Istvaan V

Roboute Guilliman: Primarch of the Ultramarines Legion, known for his military prowess and tactical brilliance

Vulkan: Primarch of the Salamanders Legion, known for his skill in the forge and his calm demeanor

Corax: Primarch of the Raven Guard Legion, known for his silence and his cleverness

Saints

Saints are those who led holy lives and died after leading such a life in the service of the God-Emperor. To be confirmed as a saint requires a decree of the highest ranking official of the Ecclesiarchy, at present time that being the Cardinal, after miracles in the saint's name are witnessed. Relics of saints are highly prized for what they symbolize as well as their protective power. It is said that some of the saints still advise members of the Imperium through many diverse means.
