→Origins
Eventually, a splinter faction of the Promeans, the [[Horusians]], began to form. These disciples were continuing the work of Moriana, collecting texts on the nature of [[Horus]] and his possession by Chaos. These tomes, considered heretical, brought Promeans and the Horusians into conflict. In the end however the Horusians prevailed, and few true Promeans remained by [[M34]]. Eventually, [[Stalia von Dressen]] was able to organize anti-Horusian cells across the Imperium. Eventually her crusade led her to research the nature of the Emperor's resurrection and the founding of the Inquisition for two decades on [[Terra]], leading her to believe that resurrection was a hopeless cause. This led her to lead an anti-resurrectionist purge within the Inquisition. By [[M35]] resurrectionism was once again all but eliminated from the Inquisition's goals.{{Fn|1}}
However it was during the [[Age of Apostasy]] in [[M36]] that the resurrectionists again emerged, this time led by [[Sebastian Thor]]. After Thor's apparent divine victory in ending the Reign of Blood by [[Goge Vandire]], resurrectionism, not closely associated with Thor's own faction of it (Thorianism) became accepted within Inquisitorial the Inquisiton once more.{{Fn|1}}
