{{AmbiguousImperiumPortal}}{{Ambig|subject=the event|disambiguation=Nephilim}}The '''Convocation of Nephilim''' occurred after the [[Age of Apostasy]] and following the death of [[Goge Vandire]]. During this time, the [[Imperium]] suffered from such a terrible conflict that it nearly tore itself apart. Thus, a new branch of the [[Inquisition]] was formed known as the [[Ordo Hereticus]]. At the height of the [[Thorian Reformation]], the female [[Imperial Cult]] known as the [[Daughters of the Emperor]] had their relationship with the Ordo Hereticus codified in the Convocation, thus leading to the formation of the [[Adepta Sororitas]]. This female sisterhood became the [[Chamber Militant]] of the [[Ministorum]] where they purged the deviant, corrupt and heretical from the ranks of the [[Ecclesiarchy]] following the dismantlement of the [[Frateris Templar]].{{Fn|1}}
According to legend, it is said that during the Convocation, secrets were told to [[Saint Dominica]] and the founders of the Ordo Hereticus at the very base of the [[Golden Throne]] itself. This defined the close relationship between the two as a path and mission was formed as a result of the event with only the highest-ranking members of the Adepta Sororitas and Ordo Hereticus privy to its details.{{Fn|1}}
