off this reputation, until the de Caul family staged a successful coup two centuries ago. The de Cauls, a mid-ranking clan of Imperial nobles, brought a new and more severe interpretation of the Imperial cult to the laid back and pleasure loving planet.
Now, whilst it retains (to some extent) its status as a favoured destination for senior [[Adeptus Terra]] functionaries and Imperial Nobles, it also boasts a small, yet influential, complex for the treatment of mental disorders operated by the [[Orders Hospitaller]] of the [[Adeptus Adepta Sororitas]]. This facility, the Asylum of Saint Vero, based on Reth's third largest island, treats over a million
inmates, all suffering from a variety of mental illnesses. It is a coglomeration of hospitals, clinics and shrines maintained by the dutiful and dedicated sisters.
Disquieting rumours persist that many of the unfortunate patients of the St. Vero asylum are in fact psykers brought to the planet for reasons unknown. The [[Inquisition]] has, on occasion, sent its own most troubled members to a secret bunker, known as the Chapel of Blessed Peace, sited below the asylum and protected by [[hexagrammatic wardsHexagrammic Wards]], silver seals of great potency and [[Inquisitorial Stormtroopers]] of ancient charter. Many valued Imperial servants whose talents are deemed 'useful' to the Imperium, are sent to Reth
for a period of recuperation, and in some cases, mind-cleansing.
