==History==
===Pre-Heresy===
The [[Knight World]] of [[Molech]] was located only several light years from [[Terra]].{{Fn|1}} Molech was reclaimed for the [[Imperium]] in a blodless compliance by the [[Space Marine Legions]] in 869.M30, and was visited by no less than three [[Primarchs]], [[Lion El'Jonson]], [[Horus]] and [[Jaghatai Khan]], all of whom left their mark on the world.{{Fn|2}}
Ruled over by House Devine from their stronghold of the Dawn Citadel, the world had close links to the Adeptus Mechanicus. Supporting the knight houses were a priesthood of [[Sacristans]] who handled the mechanical interface between the nobles and their mounts, the military of the Sacristan Guard and Devine's personal forces of mechanised infantry, superheavy tanks, artillery and battle robot cohorts.{{Fn|2}}
===Horus Heresy===
The planet of Molech was one of the planets that the Warmaster Horus assaulted during his drive towards [[Terra]]. Three [[Titan Legions]] and over a hundred [[Imperial Army]] regiments and Knight Households stood ready to face the Warmaster's onslaught.{{Fn|1}} Other Knight Households on Devine included House Tazkhar, {{Fn|1}}
Horus' initial assault devastated many cities and strongholds including House Devine. Over the following months, the insidious whispers of Slaanesh spread through their fatigued ranks. Their officers became lethargic and interested only in their sports, using their mighty machines to hunt down the wild animals of Molech. Soon, they began to meet in secret cabals, committing depraved rites and ceremonies within the heart of the Loyalist camp.{{Fn|1}}
