This article is about the Necromundan cult. For other uses of Immortals, see Immortals (disambiguation). |
The Immortal Cult is a Necromundan Tzeentchian Psyker cult that seeks to bring about a psychic awakening in mankind[1] and has plagued the hive world for millennia, since M34.[2a]
The Inquisition is well aware of the cult and ruthlessly persecutes it by hunting down and killing its members without mercy.[3] One such instance was in 409.M39, when several Inquisitors and their gang allies disrupted the cult's ritual to psychically awaken millions of Necromundans. Unfortunately, this caused a psychic shockwave that extinguished the souls of all living things for a hundred kilometers centered on the ritual's location in the far north of the hive world. This included an entire hive cluster, whose name and inhabitants were also purged from Necromunda's surviving population's memories. To this day, the existence of the forgotten northern hive cluster is considered a geographical error on the part of the Administratum.[2b]
Later, in 944.M41, the Immortal Cult enacted a plot to take over Hive Acropolis by subverting hundreds of House Delaque's spykers. The cult used their psyker powers to plunder the secrets of the dreaming spykers and then compelled them to gather together groups of unsanctioned psykers destined for the Black Ships. However, House Helmawr's astropaths were able to warn the Inquisition of the Immortal Cult's plot. Ordo Hereticus agents later organised local Necromundan gangs to hunt down the psykers and waged war through the madness that ensued.[2c]

- It's possible that the psyker gang known as the Immortals is the same organisation as the Immortal Cult.[4]
