Changes

After taking root, and as it expands in power and influence, eventually the cult may end up effectively ruling anything from a township to an entire planet. Eventually, an uprising breaks out, either on purpose or because the cult has grown too large and/or unruly to remain secret any longer. At this point, the cult can be expected to summon aid from their Chaotic masters, ranging from incurring [[daemonic possession]] to summoning the [[Traitor Legions]]. Cults may also be uprising in concert with an invasion of Chaos Marines. The ultimate aim of the cult's uprising is to overthrow the Imperial government and attain direct control of the world. After the conflict, cultists are often taken back into the [[Eye of Terror]] where they either join the damned population of a [[daemon world]] or are formed up into a Chaos Warlord's armed forces.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
