== History ==
The Martian Schism originated in a climate of discontent; relations between various [[Tech-priest|Magi]] were in a condition of tension, with outbreaks of violence and espionage leading to even the Titan Legions being suspected of secretly taking sides in potential hostilities<sup>1.p64</sup>. Into this situation came [[Regulus (Dark Mechanicum)|Regulus]], Mechanicum representative to [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]].<sup>1</sup>
By this point in history, the Warmaster had already settled upon his course of rebellion and had secretly gained the tentative support of the Mechanicum through Regulus and his connection to [[Kelbor-Hal]], the [[Fabricator-General]]. Regulus' visit to Mars at this juncture was to demonstrate the commitment of Horus to the alliance with the Mechanicum and the advantages to siding with the Warmaster against [[Imperium|Imperial]] rule. As a result of the information provided by Horus and carried by Regulus, Kelbor-Hal was able to open a long-sequestered area of Mars known as the [[Vaults of Moravec]].<sup>1.p113</sup>
