[[File:Galaxy map Trail of Saint Evisser.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Approximate location of the Trail of Saint Evisser]]
The '''Trail of Saint Evisser''' a collection of systems located on the far western edge of the [[Segmentum Solar]], visited in pilgrimage by [[Kelkannis Evisser]], an obscure [[Administratum]] officer who mysteriously turned into an Imperial Saint.
This tract of frontier space is so named because of the unwavering faith that the saint brought to the collection of worlds that he visited. During his travels, the saint moved from world to world working miracles in the name of the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]]. As the saint grew in fame, more people flocked to the planets he had visited in hopes of seeing him. These pilgrims brought much needed prosperity with them and, in thanks, the powerful and wealthy constructed shrines and chapels bearing the name of Saint Evisser.<sup>1</sup>
As the [[Imperium]] grew, shipping lanes began to bypass the trail and the former prosperity slipped away causing widespread poverty. The nobles of the Trail, who had so lavishly decorated all of the worlds, moved on, leaving the lower classes to continue their toil in the Emperor's name. As the centuries passed the trail fell further and further into decay.
