Some time later, the Imperium officially settled Stygia XII. There were no records of the Black Templars outpost, which was still standing when the first settlers arrived and as a result, the structure was the source of superstition. Many of the native populace believed that the structure, which they knew as '''Stormhelm''' was haunted, and some even thought that the keep was of [[xenos]] origin.{{Fn|1}}
In [[832.M41]], a [[Chaos Cult]] led an uprising on Stygia XII and used "Stormhelm" as their base of operations. [[Inquisitor]] [[Abraham Vinculus]] of the [[Ordo Hereticus]] discovered that the cultists possessed four [[Chaos|corrupted]] items of great power known as [[Necrolectifier]]s and planned to use them to open a [[warp gate]]. Vinculus sent his [[acolyte]], [[Interrogator]] [[Edwin Savaul]], along with [[Inquisitorial Storm Trooper]]s and [[Battle Sister]]s of the [[Order of the Bloody Rose]] to stop the cult before they could enact their ritual. At around the same time, [[High Marshal (Black Templars)|High Marshal]] [[Ludoldus]] sent a task force of [[Sword Brethren]] led by [[Castellan (Black Templars)|Castellan]] [[Marius Reinhart]] to reclaim the keep, hoping to use a [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] sarcophagus to preserve of the life of veteran Sword Brother [[Ezekial Yesod]], whose knowledge was judged vital to the Templars' ongoing [[crusade]]. Working, not exactly together but certainly in parallel, the Imperials purged the cult, reclaimed the keep and successfully interred Ezekial.{{Fn|1}}
