==History==
The Temple of the Saviour Emperor has its origins in the [[M30|30th Millennium]] the early Imperial Cult as espoused by [[Lorgar]]'s [[Lectitio Divinitatus]]. {{Fn|4}} This belief in the Emperor's divinity was later adopted by the [[Remembrancer]] [[Euphrati Keeler]], who oversaw the spread of Emperor-worship during the [[Horus Heresy]]. {{Fn|5}} An early form of the Imperial Cult were the [[Lightbearers]].{{Fn|6}}
The Temple of the Savior Emperor was based on [[Terra]] which enabled it to preach to the centre of the Imperium, the home world of humanity as well as being the resting place of the Emperor. It was led by a man who renamed himself [[Fatidicus]], which means 'Prophet' in an ancient Terran tongue. His original name is unknown. He was once a dedicated and high ranking officer of the [[Imperial Army]] and fought in the defence of the [[Imperial Palace]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. Fatidicus managed to gather a massive following of men from all walks of life, including [[adepts]] of the [[Administratum]], warriors of the Imperial Guard and members of the [[Imperial Navy]].{{Fn|1}}
