Orbul Infanta is a Shrine World of the Imperium famously blessed with ten-thousand shrines, each one dedicated to a different Imperial Saint, and each one the heart of a city state. The Ecclesiarch chose it as a shrine world because it lay on a direct line between Terra and Avignor. The most popular and thriving shrine cities lay on the coast of the eastern continent, and billions of the faithful flocked to them each year.[1]
Ecclesiarchal Practices
On Orbul Infanta, religious observances are marked by daily rituals involving mass song and symbolic offerings. At midday, choirs of the Adeptus Ministorum perform hymns from the tops of high ecclesiastical towers, accompanied by the ringing of ceremonial bells across the cities.[1]
A notable ritual in cities such as Ezropolis includes the mass release of yellow sapfinches from baskets in major public squares. These birds, bred in industrial quantities of a million a day in coastal gene-farm aviaries, are non-native to the region and perish shortly after release due to the harsh desert climate. Their remains, bright feathers and delicate bones, accumulate in vast quantities around the cities, particularly in the desert plains surrounding Ezropolis.[1]
