===Ascension===
After centuries more of dark work, including corrupting the [[Sanctity IX]] [[Pedagogue]] to the worship of Chaos in 237.[[M38]], Periclitor was gifted with a great vision on Candlemass Eve 789.M38. Chaos spoke directly to him, promising him Daemonhood was close at hand. Periclitor immediately launched an assault on [[Bray (Planet)|Bray]], teleporting into the cathedral to murder the [[Cardinal]] as he delivered his Candlemass Day sermon. The demonstration of the planet's weakness prompted its self-righteous leaders to build an extensive orbital defence, paid for by a new tax. Each time a new tithe was proposed and rejected by the government, Periclitor would strike again, forcing them to accept ever higher costs to protect against the attacks.{{fn|1}}
It time, the populace could pay no more. First Bray, then the entire [[Trans-Kurani Sub-Sector]] erupted into civil war. By 187.[[M39]], the entire [[sector]] was in open rebellion against the rule of [[Terra]], with regiments of the [[Astra Militarum]], companies of [[Space Marine]]s and fleets of the [[Imperial Navy]] mobilised to quell the [[Braun IV]] tithe wars. In some places, the conflict rages to the very end of the [[M41|41st Millennium]].{{fn|1}}
