'''Gathalamor''' is an [[Imperial]] world in the [[Segmentum Solar]], to the galactic south-west of [[Terra]]. Gathalamor is known mostly as being the [[diocese]] of the heretic [[Cardinal Bucharis]] during the [[Age of Apostasy]], whose heresies reached such an extent that they became known as the [[Plague of Unbelief]].{{Fn|1}}

The planet's population was not rich and many lived in abject poverty. Bucharis took over and enslaved the population, forcing them to build a gigantic [[Cardinal Palace]]. He also took a large number of thugs and cut-throats and assaulted the nearby world of [[Rhanda]]. The resulting empire made Gathalamor fairly rich, although Bucharis's ideals of survival of the fittest meant many of the poorest died.{{Fn|1}} Gathalamor is the site of the tomb of the Great Confessor [[Dolan Chirosius]], who was martyred on the planet by Bucharis. His martyrdom quickly inspired the population to rise up and kill Bucharis. At the end all that remained of his body was a small pile of ashes. From then on, the planet was back under the rule of [[Terra]] and remains so to this day.{{Fn|1}}
